Printing an exported PDF file from InDesign

I have exported a few documents form InDesign to PDF. When I print the documents, some parts get cut off (top section or bottom section) but there is still room on the paper. I'ts like the printer decides not to print those sections. I am printing on 5x7inch paper and all my documents show their sizes as 5x7inches.

Here is an image I think might help... When I choose any of the size options, (fit, actual size, shrink oversized pages, or custom scale) it prints the doument exactly how I see in the preview whether or not I have the "Choose Paper Source by PDF Page Size" box checked.

  • Exporting PDF files from SSRS 2012 - "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired"

    Good day
    I have the situation where we are exporting PDF files from reporting services in our website. 
    When dividing the data into sections, the report exports perfectly, but when exporting the entire set and trying to open the file, we get the following error in Adobe Reader:
    "There was an error opening this document.  The file is damaged and could not be repaired"
    We tried to repair the file, no luck.  We tried to use different PDF readers, no luck
    We then checked the file sizes.  When exporting the subsections, each section exports a file of about 2mb. 
    When exporting the entire set, the file is about 1.3mb. 
    Adding all the sections together gives me a rough estimate of 40mb.
    Exporting to TIFF works beautifully and returns a file of 41.5mb. Word and Excel formats also work well, only issue there is the page numbering and formatting.
     The problem we have is the clients are adamant about having it in PDF format.
    Any advice please?

    This was one of the temporary suggestions I gave the client...
    Unfortunately they do not like this as the page numbering and formatting in Word does not appear right.  We are talking about over 1300 pages.  I can't expect them to change the formatting with each export.  Additionally,  the data is
    constantly changing and each client has their own data.  The clients export the reports randomly.  I therefore can't post the reports back onto the server.
    Thanks for the speedy response though

  • PDF Bookmarks - Change Default Width When Creating PDF File from InDesign

    When creating a PDF file (from Indesign CS4) I automatically create the PDF bookmarks based on the InDesign document's Table of Contents.
    But by default the width in the bookmarks is always set at "Fit Page".
    Is there a way to change the default to "Fit Width" in Indesign before the PDF is created?
    It's too much trouble to change every bookmark in the PDF after it's created.
    Thanks for any help in advance!

    Thanks, Steve. I have actually previously done what "fogharty" suggests and it does work if I want to set the pages to "fit width" or a variety of other options. However, none of the options is inherit zoom which is what I, and many other from the sound of the thread, need and want. We want to respect our end users--not dictate how they must view our PDFs. Hopefully, Adobe will listen and make this option available soon.

  • PDF Files from InDesign to larger

    Hi
    I just upgrade my acrobat pro to 9.3.3. And im running Snow leopard.
    So - now the ps (print postscript) option is also gone for me.
    I have som old files from indesign, i printet at ps file and used my
    distiller to make the pdf file.
    Result = 168 kb
    If i export this from indesign, CS4
    I use same distiller settings
    Result = 860 kb.
    If i export this from indesign, CS4
    I now use smalles file settings
    Result = 290 kb.
    WHY is it not possible to make smaller pdf files direct from indesign.
    Also Press files get very large.

    Here's an article explaining some of the things stripped from your document when you use Distiller, compared to the Export function in inDesign

  • PDF Files from InDesign much larger than Quark- Distiller, why?

    We've recently switched our publishing workflow for one of our pubs from Quark to InDesign, and are having issues with PDFs being really large. Previously, the pub would be PS'd out of QXP6.52 and then ran through our Distiller service at Press Ready quality settings. The resulting PDF files were 4-6mb (This is only a 2-page pub).
    Now, moving to InDesign, we PDF directly from InDesign (or I've also tried PSing and then Distilling), and using Press Ready Quality settings still -- the resultant PDF files are 15-16mb. Can anyone theorize as to what would create such a large difference between the two?
    This is using a few issues of the pub - not just one instance, as well.
    Thanks

    7. Yes, the file and links are using transparency.
    This is probably the answer.
    Recreate the page in InDesign with no transparency (as a test). This means all links are tiff or eps. No use of opacity or blend modes. No drop shadows.
    This is how it would have been in Quark 6, which did not support transparency (the newer kind anyway)
    Note: if you had overlying drop shadows in Quark 6 they would have had to have been bitmap tiffs.
    I also should mention: transparency is a good thing. There may be a way to get the file size down without removing transparency. Possibly you could use Acrobat to do this.
    Also note I posted a couple of updates on my previous post, they may or may not be relevant.

  • Exporting pdf's from InDesign

    I'm looking for a simple and effective way to export my InDesign document as single page pdf files, with a specific filename suffix. I'm hoping that the file name suffix can come from the numbering and section options from my InDesign document.
    To be specific, I have a 12 page document, each section being 2 pages or more. What I need is single page pdf files with the follwoing naming convention filename_sec[n].pdf. If I extract as separate pages through Acrobat, it will only make filename [n].pdf, not what we need.
    I'm using InDesign CS3 and Acrobat 8, all part of Design Standard CS3. Any help is appreciated. Any direct specific questions or advice, please email [email protected]

    "looking for a simple and effective way to export my InDesign document as single page pdf files"
    You may have to define a custom page layout size in InDesign that can hold all of the content.
    "hoping that the file name suffix can come from the numbering and section options from my InDesign document"
    Not certain this can be achieved automatically or by a Preferences setting.

  • Cannot print or save PDF files from internet

    I can no longer save PDF from the web. Error messeage shows The document “doc.pdf” could not be exported as “doc.pdf”. Nor can I print a pdf from the internet, instead it prints blank pages. It used to work fine. I know that this is not a problem with the documents I am downloading because I have no problem saving and printing the same files from a Dell computer.

  • Mixed fonts when exporting ePub file from InDesign

    I am an ePubs newbie and have been watching some of the training videos on Lynda.com and  tried creating my first ePub document today.
    I am having problems with mixed fonts when exporting the file and viewing on iBooks on an iPhone.
    I have a document with paragraphs of text to be in a regular weight and certain words within the paragraphs are to be picked out in bold. So I've used a Paragraph Style for the main text and then used a Character Style to pick out the bold words. Simple enough!!
    On export I am not embedding any fonts as I have unchecked that option on the export dailaogue. I have used the same font family in InDesign, but I cannot work out why I am getting both Serif and Sans Serif fonts displaying when viewing it on the iPhone. The main body appears in the Sans Serif font, but I have the bold character styles, subheads and even the numbers in the numbered lists are all displaying in a Serif Font.
    In iBooks I can change the display font (I have the choices: Georgia, Iowan, Palatino, Seravek and Times New Roman) and this affects the fonts which are displaying as Serif, but the main body font remains constant as a Sans Serif (looks like Helvetica).
    I would ideally like all the fonts in the document to display as Sans Serif with certain words, plus the headings and subheadings to be in the bold weight version of the same font family.
    I've tried this in CS5.5 and CS6 with the same results.
    Can anyone offer any suggestions please.

    Hi Steve,
    Yes, you are correct. It is Anne-Marie Concepcion's videos that I've been watching.
    I understand what you are saying about testing in other readers and I will be looking into that further. However our main task is to get some of our client's manuals and documents into a digital version that can be read on  Apple devices, as these are what are being used by their sales force.
    We have already produced some documents for use on the iPad and have used iBooks Author for that with some success. They have now asked about getting something onto iPhones, so we are now looking into the ePub format to do that. I realise that ePubs can also be used on iPads, but we would still be pushing the iBooks Author files for use on iPads as there is more interactive widgets that can be included. But the main ePub reader that will be used is going to be iBooks, so we are looking to get something to work in that App. Other formats may follow, but we are starting with getting something to work on iBooks first.
    I have tried viewing the file in Adobe Digital Editions as you have suggested and have to say that this displays the file in a way that is certainly more appealing, as the fonts are at least consistent. However, I understand from Anne-Marie's videos that ADE is rather basic and is only intended as a rough proofing device. Which is why I transferred my ePub to my iPhone and iPad to view in iBooks.
    As I have mentioned, I am a total ePub newbie. I come from a mainly print background and my knowledge of CSS and HTML is very basic. I have an understanding of the concepts, but I would always rely on developers to produce websites that I may have designed.
    You seem to be implying that it may be in iBooks where the issues lie and from viewing the file in ADE this would certainly look that way. So I am simply trying to establish what I would need to do to make it work in iBooks in a more satisfactory way.
    I have included some screen grabs below to illustrate my problems...
    ePub viewing in ADE
    If it looked like this on the iPhone I would be relatively happy!!!
    ePub on iPhone
    The main body copy is displaying in a sans serif font (Helvetica?) yet the heading, subheadings, numbers of the numbered lists, address, URL and legal line are all displaying as a serif font. All the style sheets are assigned to the same font family in InDesign (Helvetica). I have managed to get the bold text to appear in the sans serif font, by mapping the character style to the "strong" tag in the Export Tagging dialogue. All other paragraph styles are left as "Automatic".
    I can change the font in iBooks and this affects the displaying of all styles apart from the main body, which stays consistently in the "Helvetica" font.
    iPhone Fonts
    iPad Fonts
    On the iPad I'm also getting some elements coming in justified which looks awfull (see the main heading above). This image also shows how changing to an alternative font changes the heading and subheadings, but does not affect the main body!!!
    Any suggestions???
    Thanks

    Your question sounds like it is related to PdfWriter as that is how you're saving the file.  These forums are for MS products.  Please post questions related to third-party products in their forums.

  • I can't print a Adobe PDF file from the browser. Ignores print command.

    Nothing happens when trying to print PDF from browser. Print box doesn't pop up and does not go to Printer queue.

    None of the above solutions worked for me. I have Firefox 10.0.1 and Adobe Reader 9.5.0, and a pdf file would not print either from the Adobe print button or CTRL-P or the Firefox File, Print command. Firefox Print Preview just shows a blank screen. If I save the pdf file it prints OK from Adobe Reader.

  • Export PDF Files from CR Developer 14.0.2

    Hi Paul,
    There is no development runtime in CR 2011. Closest you can get is to use Visual Studio 2010 and CR for VS 2010.
    You'll have to upgrade your app to .NET runtime.
    See this page for downloading the plug-in.

    No more RDC and you must update your reports to the new DB drivers.

  • Is there a way I can edit my exported PDF files from FormCentral?

    I have created a form and have downloaded as a PDF file to my computer. However, I am not allowed to edit my file under Adobe Acrobat. Please help....

    I have created a PDF file by Forms Central. I did what you have instructed and it worked!! thank you very much!!! However, now I am having another problem. In Adobe Acrobat, I selected the File, Save a Copy, then I was able to edit the file. I have added a signature field at the end of the page. Then, I save as it as Reader Extended Feature PDF file. So, I can send this file to other people in my company to sign it with Adobe Reader.
    The problem is whenever they open the file with Adobe Reader, it shows "This document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader.  The document has been changed since it was created and use of extended features is no longer available.  Please contact the author for the original version of this document." Everytime, I send this file through email, the security setting changes, which the reader extended feature will disable by itself. I am so confused.....
    I was trying to find an answer online, but I am still couldnt fix this. Please help!!! Thank you for your help my friend!!!!

  • I created a PDF file from InDesign and the printing company wants me to convert to curves...

    ... I don't have Illustrator, so I don't see how I can convert the file to curves and I really don't understand why I should have to. The file prints fine from my printer and when they proofed in on their printer there were no errors. So, why would they want me change it to an Illustrator file and convert to curves? This seems like the technology is going backwards instead of forward to me. Does anybody have any answers besides telling me to buy Illustrator (or subscribe to it) or telling me to recreate the document (which I don't have time to do? Thanks.
    JB

    You should never convert font to outlines in InDesign, because:
    You loose automatic numbers and bullets,
    you loose paragraph rules,
    you loose underline and strikethroug
    you loose automatic follow up numbers
    you loose text frames stroke and color.
    Outlining is not possible with objects from the master without overriding, overiding will change the result in many cases, outlining on the master will either delete text or outline placeholders.
    Outlining will be a huge problem with threads as you cannot outline the whole thread in one single step.
    Peters method will not work without problems as such a preset had to be created in CS4 or earlier, it will not work with CS5 or later.
    The only working method is to educate your printer.
    Ask him why he wants to outline the text? How does he open your PDF? The only program he is allowed to open it is Acrobat or Reader.
