Problem exporting to PDF (1st page moves to left side of spread)

When we export an InDesign file (a long book) to PDF, we are finding that whereas the application specifies that page 1 is on the right hand side, the PDF created commences on the LEFT hand side, throwing out all the page spreads in the book.
What do we need to adjust to get back to our first page being on the right (so that all the odd-nuimbered book pages stay on the right in the PDF as well as in the InDD file?

Peter,
You gave me the clue in your question about <cover page>.
Problem found: it was to do with this menu area in Acrobat Reader:
page display> show cover page during two-up option. Hadn't had occasion to adjust that setting previously.
Many thanks.

Exporting to pdf from Pages 5.0

When I try exporting to pdf in Pages 5.0, I get an error message that states, "The document “(original file name)” could not be exported as “(new file name)”. " Any ideas what's wrong?

Check if it apply to every documents embedding these offending fonts.
If it does, run FontBook to check that these fonts are in correct state.

Showing the pages on the left side

When I open my adobe file, the pages on the left side (where the bookmarks are) are NOT showing. How do I get them to show please? Thank you.

MisterMojo,
Welcome to the discussions. The last time I replaced a toner cartridge, it turned out that the printer needed cleaning, not new toner. A thousand copies is not nearly full use of the cartridge you have.
Google the part number and you will find other suppliers. The last time I checked, they were $70 for that model.
Are you familiar with fixyourownprinter.com?
Finally, many companies will refurbish your toner cartridge. Check the yellow pages of the phone book for the largest city near you.

I am having problems exporting to PDF using InDesign for Mac.

Hi all!
I just started using the Creative Suite on Mac and have run into a couple problems. One is that when I set up a document in InDesign using "Facing Pages" and then export to PDF, the document exports each set of "Facing Pages" as one singular spread (my 20 page InDesign document becomes a 10 page PDF). Once it is a PDF, there are no page break lines in the center of the spread to indicate that they are two separate pages, and when I try to set up viewing preferences in Acrobat (single or double page), it too recogrnizes each spread as a single page.
When I used to do this in InDesign using Windows, whether I exported to PDF or printed to PDF from a document set up with "Facing Pages," each page would still be considered separate once converted to PDF (20 page InDesign docment becomes a 20 page PDF).
This also leads me to my next question : I see that on Mac, there is no option for printing to PDF, but I notice a quality difference specifically when it comes to linework (vector information) that has been "placed" in the document from Illustrator. Is there any way to achieve the quality of printing to PDF on Mac?
Thank you in advance!

Hi Bob, I just tried your suggestion, but the interactive PDF is in spreads by default, no way to change the setting. When I choose to view by single page in Acrobat, it displays a single spread.
When I choose to view by spreads, it displays 4 pages, two spreads. That's the topic of this whole discussion, I believe. I do own CS 6 at home, however my employer supplied me with CS 5.5. And I have very little, if any, influence on purchasing.
So, I have no good way to make an interactive PDF (with differing recto/verso headers and footers), that is accessible and shows the correct header/footer. It's either single pages (with one header/footer), or recto/verso headers/footers but PDF only as a spread, as well as I can tell.
Unless you know something else I can do...
Best, Marilyn

Problems exporting large PDF files

I am trying to export a 52 page InDesign file to PDF. One or two random pages will not export properly, elements from other pages appear and other graphics which were there in InDesign have dissappeared in the exported PDF file. The most annoying thing is that when I export the offending pages separately, one at a time the export without any problems. Is it possible for Indesign to experience an "information overload" when exporting larger documents? how can I fix this?
thanks,
Geordie

Well, I didn't want to go into the weeds and be too much of a distraction, but since you asked, I guess it's puzzling because:
I work with long complex documents, and it doesn't happen to me.
We don't see many reports of this problem on the forum [I can't remember any, honestly, but I have not dug hard].
There are some similar problems, mostly relating to master page items, that have been fixed in some recent updates.
I don't see how touching many or all page items or pages has much to do with "address space"; sure, it will make InDesign use more virtual memory, but that's a core function of the operating system, and if it's flaking out, there should be many more serious problems. Therefore I am probably misunderstanding your use of "working address space."
If in fact there is some allocation limit that is being hit or leak or whatnot, it ought to be caught be refcounting of the resource, and the various checks in the InDesign debug build, the InDesign server 30-day uptime tests, etc., etc.
The implication is that you have reproducible testcases for this problem and have been unable to get InDesign Engineering to resolve the problem, which is kind of an unfortunate situation to be in, so I slap the label of "puzzling" on it.
An alternative interpretation is that you think the problem isn't easily solvable and haven't really tried to do so, which I also find puzzling.
If the 64 bit InDesign fixes this, it's just papering over the problem. But since we have a 64-bit InDesign Server for Windows (right? I don't use ID Server for much), it should be easily testable today.
So, that's basically some rough insight into the things floating around in my head that lead me to be "puzzled."
I don't mean to discount your problems, or your workaround; I thought it useful to offer the original poster the standard workarounds and suggestions we tend to offer for the broader category of problem, in case yours did not work (hence "Beyond that").

Problems exporting to PDF in CS4, InDesign stops working

I'm getting an "InDesign has Stopped Working" message when exporting to PDF. It's a 370 page document and the error comes at the very end of the creation process. My only option at that point is to shut it down and try again. Funny thing is, when I export certain ranges of pages, say 1-20, it exports fine. And it's not a matter of a problem with an individual page or element, because I've exported page 28 and 29 individually with success but when trying a range of 28-29 I get the error. Any ideas/help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

reopening an inx or idml should clean up a few rotten elements. If you want to see if the font is causing the problems you could swap them out, generate a PDF and rule it out or in.
If I recall correctly, look for common elements on the pages where the PDF won't let you print. If it exports 1-25 but not 1-26, and 27-52 but not 26-52 you can located the problem pages. It does take time.
But if you can export the pages, you could save time by combining the files. Be careful though, when I did that the PDF pages wouldn't print the same troublesome pages.
I don't have a system for troubleshooting files like this. It only came up with one file and I've yet to see it again. Others may have more efficient of graceful suggestions.

Problems Exporting to PDF with ID 5.5 - specific symptoms

I'm hoping the symptoms of my problem are specific enough that someone will have a good idea of what's wrong.
I have multiple chapter files that I use to make up a single book file, which I create the pdf from. Here's what happens:
1. When I click on the "print the book" icon at the bottom of the book window, ID will crash.
2. So instead, I click on the pull-down menu at the upper right of the window and select "Export book to pdf".
3. Now, it generates a pdf but in the pdf some pages are with a single page from the ID file and some have two pages spread across a single pdf page, very randomly it appears.
4. To get around this (or so I thought) I went to document setup in ID and deselected the "Facing Pages" checkbox.
5. As soon as I do this, the left side header and footer of all pages in that chapter get offset to the left. Ok, so I go to the master page and realign them.
6. Now I export again in the manner described above and the page numbering comes out all messed up in the pdf. Even if the ID (source) file has pages 6-1, 6-2, etc. in the pdf every page will be marked as 6-1.
Any help on this will be greatly appreciated! I am using Windows XP.

Firstly - the 4-6 steps are unnescearry - I recommend you go back to the original layout.

I recommend you delete that Book file and create a new one.
if the problem persists, try selecting individual documents in the Book to export to PDF or to print. It could be a specific file causing the issue.
If some pages are coming out as "spreads" then you must have facing pages in some documents and some single pages in another document or something? I recommend turning off Spreads in the PDF and print settings.
It's a little unclear of your document structure - and your document sizes. What are the sizes of the document in all the individual Chapters. Can you post screen shots of the Book panel - and also of each Chapter file (just a single or spread of a page(s))

Exporting to pdf from Pages 9 turns all text color to white

I made a 34 page document for someone, exported to pdf and sent it to him. He called me asking why all the text came out white. The only reason you could see the text is because I had a tinted background on every page. Tried several times and the black comes out white in the pdf document. Any one had that problem before?

I'm using Acrobat pro 9.
I have been using Pages and exporting to pdf for more than a year now and never had this problem. The file I'm working with is a word document sent to me by my customer that I copied and pasted into Pages. I found a way around it by doing the following: I clicked print. In the print window, there is a scroll down button that gives the option of saving to pdf or to postcript. Saving to pdf gave me the same problem, so I saced to postscript. I opened the postcript file withpreview and from there exported to pdf to get it to work finally.
This is what the file should look like
This is what I get when I export from the file menu

Exporting to PDF from Page Server object

Post Author: jdp
CA Forum: .NET
I'm creating a website and currently have all reports exported to PDF utilizing a RAS server, no Crystal viewer. What I'd like to do is utilize a Page Server to view reports in PDF format and still not use the Crystal viewer. I can add the Viewer to the page and hide it but that seems cheesy to me. I'm trying to look through the documentation to see if there's an example of something similar but am not having much luck. Is what I'm attempting possible?
I'm running VS 2k5 with BOXI R2 client installed locally hitting a BOXI R2 SP1 server.
Any feedback would be appreciated!

Post Author: Ted Ueda
CA Forum: .NET
Unfortunately, there's no .NET equivalent of the COM object ReportExportControl. So that leaves either (1) RAS, (2) schedule the report to PDF, wait till the schedule succeeds, then stream the PDF out and delete the scheduled instance, or (3) the cheesy method you point out.
Sincerely,

Problem exporting in PDF X-4 with conversion in RGB

I need to export in PDF X-4 converting the images in RGB color space with SuperRGB output intent.
The problem is that when I choose "Convert in RGB" ,in the export PDF windows, I can see only the ROMM-RGB ICC profile as output intent.
All the other RGB profile are missed.
If I don't choose PDF X-4 I can see all the RGB ICC profile installed.
Can anybody explain the why?

The problem is that when I choose "Convert in RGB" ,in the export PDF windows, I can see only the ROMM-RGB ICC profile as output intent.
You can't use a display class profile (i.e. AdobeRGB, sRGB, ProPhoto RGB) as a destination or output intent when you are exporting to PDF/X-4. You can convert everything to an RGB display profile, but not with the PDF/X standard.

Problem exporting / printing pdf

I have an SSRS report that contains several sub reports - Mostly with the same background colour. If I print the report it prints fine - all backgrounds are the same colour, If I export to PDF it appears to be fine but when I print the PDF the graph
in the report has a blueish background. I can print as PDF using CutePDF and then print with no problem - It's just when I export as PDF in Visual Studio.
Any ideas???
Regards
Andy

Hi Andy,
I have test the scenario in my testing environment, however, everything goes well when exporting to PDF format. In order to trouble shoot this issue more efficiently, I need to clarify some information.
What’s the expression of background color in your reports?
Here you mentioned Visual Studio, do you mean Preview the RDL report in the BIDS environment or browse the RDLC report in the web application?
Could you please post the screenshot about the graph with PDF format when exported from “Visual Studio”?
Detail information is a big help for us supply the further assistance. Besides, please try to export the report from report manager and check the result again.
For more information about export a report to a PDF file, please see:

Hope this helps.

Problems exporting as pdf

I am having problems exporting a multipage website as a working pdf. I get a dialogue box stating that there are incorrect parameters. I am using Mac OS 10.5. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Carrie

Hi Peter,
First off, thanks for your help & follow up.
I guess I'm having trouble actually installing the abracadabra Automator script. I downloaded it, unzipped it and attempted to open it in Automator and received the following errors.
From there, I thought it may have been installed. But I'm still having some problems. According to the site the next should be " save it as a module via the menu File > Save as module > Finder module . It will then be available by right-clicking on any icon Finder via the sub-menu> Automator > PDF-Assembler ."
Forgive me for my cluelessness, but I'm not sure where to go from here.

Problem with anchor link entire page moves to the left of the browser

I created an anchor link on the top of my home page with a text link at the botton called "back to top of page" whenever I click on the text link on my desktop the page move vertically upwards to the top of the page but when I try doing this on either of my laptop the page moves diagonally from right to left up to the top of the page how can I fix this? You can see this on my website www.sweetproductionmedia.com

hi julia, i placed the anchor in various places to see what works. I placed the anchor center top towards the left and right side within the browser. I also tried upper top outside of the browser center, right and left and it still moves diagonally. Here's what I noticed. On my desktop I use a 25" monitor so the anchor works fine the page moves straight up but whenever I view it on both laptops it moves diagonally. I had my sister test the link on her laptop (she lives in Brazil) and she told me that sometimes it would go straight up and another time it moved diagonally. Here's the link to my website so you can see the problem in action. There's a 'back to top' link on almost every page see for yourself. www.sweetproductionmedia.com
thanks so much for taking the time to help:-)
