Pdf export/printing

hi there,
i've got a strange (=stupid) problem:
take a text document with
first pages=horizontal layout
next pages=vertical page layout
last pages=horizontal page layout
now click on export as pdf...
macosx saves it as 3 several pdfs- how can i fix that stupid thing?
(best would be without extra software)
thanks in advance,
aldur

You can very easily combine PDF documents in Preview.
Just open one of the PDF documents, go to View-> Sidebar, then just drag the other PDF documents into the sidebar (and rearrange as necessary). Then you just need to save the new multi-page PDF somewhere.

Acrobat pdf export (printing) filename change

In exporting (printing) pdfs from my CAD programs (AutoCAD / Bricscad), how can I prevent acrobat from adding the layout name to the filename i.e. "Model"? If I am in a drawing with the filename 123456.dwg, printing thru acrobat results in 123456 Model.pdf- what I desire is 123456.pdf

I agree, particularly if you are using an "export" feature. If you use Acrobat then you would either use the PDF Maker option if available (typically called create PDF now) or would actually print to the Adobe PDF printer. I suspect you are using a feature of AutoCAD, but am not a user of that package to confirm this.

How to improve pdf export/print resolution?

I'm getting very poor pdf resolution even at "best" setting in an export from Pages '09; it looks to be exactly the same low quality as you get with Print>pdf. Has anyone else had this problem, or even better, found a solution? I did reduce the file size of images in the Pages file and am wondering if maybe Pages has reduced the resolution of the whole document. It looks like it is about 72dpi which is, of course, awful! Help, please!

Thanks, I ran that search and 120 or so posts later I'm still not sure. (I know, the answer is in #121...) No matter, I do have a way to retain resolution from large Pages files : Pages>Export as Best PDF>Open PDF in Preview>Save As Photoshop>Open in Photoshop>Save As PDF seems to keep resolution but shrink filesize by about 90% for me, so that's good. I think my mistake here was assuming that shrinking the Pages doc would only reduce image resolution, but I think it has reduced the resolution of the whole file including text, as you've said, which is the problem I'm having. Well, you live and learn. Back to the drawing board, unless someone else has a suggestion!

Three panel brochure pdf export problem

I've created a three panel brochure, using the Pages 2 template. I need to share this with Windows people (who will handle the actual printing), so I exported it to pdf format. It looks OK (and Apple automatically embeds the fonts, nice!). However, the printed version is slightly different, such that the folds don't work correctly (images and words cross the folds).
The pdf export prints perfectly from Preview, but not from Acrobat, which is what the Windows people have. Printing to pdf creates the same problem. Anybody know of a workaround to create the proper proportions for a pdf export? Thanks.

Stephen- Based on some other discussions I read, I did try printing to pdf-x. Unfortunately, this did not solve the problem.
Barabara- As it turned out, Adobe Acrobat was not printing at 100% in either Windows or OS X. In the Windows print command window, page scaling was defaulted to "reduce to printer margins." This meant the document was printing at 96%. By changing page scaling to "none," the document printed to 100%, fixing the problem.
Likewise, in OS X, Adobe Acrobat's page scaling was also defaulted to "reduce to printer margins." This scaled the page to 93%, which caused the printing problem. By changing page scaling to "none" the document printed at 100%, fixing the problem. Thanks for the suggestion, which solved my problem.

How do you include date in PDF export from Keynote 6.2.2

In Keynote '09, I used to be able to insert the date in the bottom of a PDF export. Now that I upgraded to Mavericks, Keynote (6.2.2) appears to only have the option to "include name and date".
That's a useless combination. Those are 2 different things: (1) the filename, and (2) the date. At best, those should be two separate checkboxes.
I miss the feature to add ONLY the date to the PDF generated. I haven't upgraded to Yosemite yet but don't have my hopes up that this feature exists.
Am I missing something? How can I include the date in a PDF exported/printed/saved from a Keynote presentation?

Events are purely automatic, and will only organise on the date and time.
Make an Album of the photos and then you can drag them to any order you want.

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.
on open sourceFolders
repeat with sourceFolder in sourceFolders
tell application "Finder"
try
-- If you would like to include subfolders, you say - every file of entire contents of folder…
set idFiles to (every file of folder sourceFolder whose file type is "IDd5") as alias list
on error -- work around bug if there is only one file
set idFiles to (every file of folder sourceFolder whose file type is "IDd5") as alias as list
end try
end tell
if idFiles is not {} then
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"
set user interaction level to never interact
repeat with i from 1 to count of idFiles
open item i of idFiles
tell document 1
try
set visible of layer "ImagesTag_Layer" to true
end try
set myPreset to "letter size" -- name of print style to use
with timeout of 700 seconds
print using myPreset without print dialog
end timeout
set myPreset1 to "pdf preset name" -- name of pdf export style to use
set myName to the name -- name includes .indd should remove at some point
with timeout of 700 seconds
export format PDF type to "users:temp:Desktop:pdf:" & myName & ".pdf" using myPreset1 without showing options -- set path here format ComputerName:Folder1:Folder2:......:FileName.pdf
end timeout
close without saving
end tell
end repeat
set user interaction level to interact with all
end tell
end if
return 10 -- try again in 10 seconds
end repeat
end open

(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?

Colors are printing incorrectly when exported to PDF but print fine from InDeisgn and Photoshop

Documents I create in Photoshop and InDesign and export to PDF print in different/wrong colors. The colors are fine when printed directly from Photoshop or InDesign, they look correct when viewing the PDF, but change when printed from the PDF (specifically blues print as purple). How do I fix this?

This really sounds like a color management issue.
How are you creating the PDF files from InDesign or Photoshop? We recommend using the PDF/X-4 settings for proper printing from Acrobat or any direct PDF RIP/printer.
Also would like to know what type of printer you are printing to.

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?

JRE Crash with 1.5.0_13 related to printing & PDF export

Hi,
I'm having a problem : JRE 1.5.0 (updates 6, 10 and 13 tried) crashes under my software. The problem is encountered with printing / PDF exporting functionality through JFreeReport. Issue is encountered only with dualcore computers. Fortunately the issue isn't encountered with 1.6.0 anymore but I'd still be interested to find some workaround to make the software run with 1.5.0 also (It would be nice not to require users to have 1.6.0) Problem has been detected with both Win XP SP 2 and Vista.
First I was suspicious because we are using one JNI library but removing that didn't help so that shouldn't be the case.
After some searching I found a couple of JVM bugs that were marked as duplicates for http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6186524 . Those were related to 2D things and hence printing, fonts, exporting and with some cases dualcore computers were mentioned. However, that bug should be fixed in 1.5.0_10 but upgrading to 1.5.0_10 (or 1.5.0_13) didn't help so it can't be the actual bug.
Error log, if somebody can make up something: (This error log was got when running through Eclipse with JRE set to 1.5.0_13 but error has been encountered also when running straight with just one JRE (1.5.0_XX) installed to computer.)

This looks like [bug 6754141|http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6754141] in the just-in-time compiler. If you have a support contract you can escalate this to get a fix in a jdk1.5.0 update. Alternatively, there do not seem to be any reports of this in jdk6, so you could try a recent jdk6 update (e.g., jdk6 update 17).

Problem printing pdfs exported from IDCS3 to hp color laserjet 2550L

Since upgradingn to IDCS3, whenever I print a pdf exported from ID to my hp color laserjet 2550L, the graphics print with a red overlay and other colors change as well (black type prints brown, blue prints maroon). If I print the file to a .ps file, then distill it, I don't have the problem. If possible, I prefer to export because it's quicker. Is there a fix to this?
Thanks in advance!

Check the HP site for a newer driver for your printer.

Export in pdf for print inexistant border

Hello,
I try to export an Indesign CS5 file in pdf for print.
If I choose PDF1.4, X-4:2008 I have a dark rectangle like a shadow under several text. I thought it was a transparency problem but I now set up the transparency to High Quality.
If I choose PDF1.3 I don't have the shadow issue anymore but a white border around the text and images which had been rotated.
I'm not a specialist in pdf export for print so I don't know what is the best settings and how to fix my issue.
Can it be only a screen issue and be ok for the print??
Cheers,
Elodie

I apologize for not getting to this sooner.
How are you viewing the PDF that shows the discoloration? Acrobat or some other application? Is overprint preview turned on in Acrobat?
This is definitely transparency related. When you choose PDF 1.3 you are flattening the transparency and the white lines you see are called "stitching." Thay ae a dispaly artifact in Acrobat (they'll disappear if you turn off smoothing), and though they may show in a low-resolution digital print, they are usually not apparent in high-resolution output from a press.

How to export a CMYK document to a black/white or greyscale pdf for print?

Hello, I have some knowledge in graphics design, but very little about color management.
Currently I need to convert an instruction manual I made to black and white output only. We'd prefer to keep the indesign (.indd) and it's source images in their respective colors, but when exporting the document to a pdf my printer can use, we'd like to make that document a black and white pdf, as it's a black/white manual anyway. A little color conversion isn't to bad, as long as it's reasonable. all images that might give trouble are in greyscale anyway.
So how do I export a full color indesign document to a black&white/greyscale pdf?
ps:
very newb question, but if you don't ask, you never learn:
When do you use the colours "registration", and when do you use "paper"?

I am also trying desperately to convert my CMYK colors into a grayscale so that when I print the document the printer only uses K (and C=0 M=0 Y=0)
And I saw this bit of info you wrote a few months ago. I am working working with photoshop CS4. I tried to follow it but I found the following difficulties. Hope you don't mind me writing over your text.
RGB image --> Grayscale
New doc --> CMYK image,same size, empty
Copy Grayscale and paste into the K-channel of the CMYK image. - (It only allows me to copy onto the CMYK layer but not onto the Black so I had to Drag layer onto channel delete the black layer and rename my new layer as black but then the document changes from CMYK to Multichannel and I have to re-change the mode again to CMYK but this already prints CMYK...)
Place image in InDesign doc.
Everything else (vector, text) by K-only.
(...then when I placet that CMYK file into InDesign, and PDF it, on the output preview still separates the grayscale image into CMYK and when I print, the printer still prints CMYK instead of only K)
So then I say OK so.. let's use the Multichannel document instead, which it actually seems to print on K only (while CMY=0), it only allows me to save as PSD. and when I try to place it on Indesign... I have a message saying that this file is using an unsupported colour space, only RGB,CMYK, lab, indexed, and bitmap are supported by the photoshop filter
On top of that I have been asked for a Jpeg image in black and white which prints only K (while CMY=0). I have tried with channel mixed presets and even though the info on screen is now C=0, M=0, Y=0 and K= various values, when I send it to print. The printer still prints with all the CMYK colours
Any advice would be so much appreciated!
Thank you

Numbers | Export to PDF | Cannot Print Exported PDF

I am having a heck of a time with being able to print PDFs exported out of Numbers. I have tried both the File>Export command and I have printed to PDF and printed to Adobe PDF. Once I open the exported / printed PDF files in Acrobat Reader and try to print them, Reader freezes after 30 seconds of ramping up its memory usage in excess of 300MB. The PDFs are less than a MB in size. I have been able to successfully print the exported / printed PDF files using Preview on a Mac, but the reason I need to be able to convert my spreadsheets to PDF is so that a colleague in another state can print them from a PC. Anyone run into this issue? Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Is there a way to automate it such that it doesn't repeat the last row or do I just need to manually delete the formula out of all of the cells in the rows after the last?
There sure is. I was in a rush and made a mistake in my formula. I've posted solutions to this problem at least a half a dozen times here in the past and for some reason I didn't recall the bit that you are having trouble with. It came to me overnight that I had led you astray.
Here's a solution for the expression in the reduced table that I've used before and I'm pretty sure you will have success with:
=IF(ROW()<(MAX(Data :: E)+1), INDEX(Data, MATCH(ROW(), Data :: $E), COLUMN()), "")
Here's how it works...
The auxiliary column in the table Data reports the count of important rows. The reduced table searches for the count number in the Data table matching the row number in the reduced table. The Index function then transfers the data for the matching row. The problem in my posted solution was with the condition that limits the copying of rows to the reduced table.
Rather than checking the total number of rows in the data table, with an offset, I should have just checked to see how many "'important" rows there are by looking at the max count. The "+1" offset in the test is to account for the Header Row.

Jerry

Why do I get white lines surrounding transparencies when exported as a PDF for print - Indesign Vers

Why do I get white lines surrounding PSD or Tiff transparencies when exported as a PDF for print - Indesign Version 9.2?
I recently upgraded creative suite - now I am having issues with white lines surrounding any tiffs or PSDs when exporting for print.
I initially thought it was an acrobat viewer problem, but it seems to be effecting print. Please let me know if anyone knows the answer to this problem. thanks!

PDF settings? Flattener settings? Overprint and trapping settings? You need to be much more specific. Eitehr way, ask in the ID forum.
