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.

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

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.
Thanks,

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))

CR4Ev2 problem exporting to PDF containing Turkish characters

I know there are other threads with similar topics but I also know some people get irritated when people jump onto their threads with their own problems.
I am using CR4Ev2 and on my machine which I have installed Eclipse on I have no problems
exporting my reports to PDF, I have Turkish characters which display perfectly (they did not with
CR4Ev1 so thanks so much for that)
I have now exported my project as a WAR file and am trying to run it on another machine with the same
Tomcat and Java versions.
If I view the report via the CrystalReport Viewer the Turkish characters display with no hassel.
But if I try export the report to PDF all the Turksh characters now display as ?, (as they did in CR4Ev1)
Am I missing something, is there something that I am not including in my project that I need
when exporting the PDF.
I have installed Adobe Reader 9 on this new machine incase the Turkish langauge fonts were not in
my version 8, but still get funny ? characters, I even installed the Turksih version of Adobe 9 and still nothing. Is there some other files that I could have installed on my Eclipse machine that I have not installed
on the second machine.
I have tried both the following commands to export to PDF
CRJavaHelper.exportPDF(clientDoc, response, true);
and
CRJavaHelper.exportPDF(clientDoc, response, false);
both dont work.
I have also tried the following (which I used before with CR4Ev1)
ByteArrayInputStream byteArrayInputStream = (ByteArrayInputStream)clientDoc.getPrintOutputController().export(ReportExportFormat.PDF);
writeToFileSystem(byteArrayInputStream, EXPORT_OUTPUT); // EXPORT_OUTPUT = "c:\test.pdf"
private void writeToFileSystem(ByteArrayInputStream byteArrayInputStream, String exportFile) throws Exception {
          //Use the Java I/O libraries to write the exported content to the file system.
          byte byteArray[] = new byte[byteArrayInputStream.available()];
          //Create a new file that will contain the exported result.
          File file = new File(exportFile);
          FileOutputStream fileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(file);
          ByteArrayOutputStream byteArrayOutputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream(byteArrayInputStream.available());
          int x = byteArrayInputStream.read(byteArray, 0, byteArrayInputStream.available());
          byteArrayOutputStream.write(byteArray, 0, x);
          byteArrayOutputStream.writeTo(fileOutputStream);
          //Close streams.
          byteArrayInputStream.close();
          byteArrayOutputStream.close();
          fileOutputStream.close();
But that also does not work.
Please can someone tell me what they think I am missing.
Oh, another note with the CRJavaHelper.exportPDF(clientDoc, response, false); command
It does work but I do get the following error in my console (both the Eclipse machine and the new one).

Is this part of the problem or a seperate issue??
Thanks all for looking at this.
Darren

Ted,
I have double checked the Java version and infact reinstalled jdk6u7 (multilanguage version) just to be
100% sure, but that did not help.
ON my Eclipse machine the Fonts are as follows
Verdana(Embedded Subset)
     Type: TrueType
     Encoding: Built-In
but on the other machine it is different
Verdana
    Type: TrueType
    Encoding: Ansi
    Actual Font: Verdana
    Actual Font Type: TrueType
So that does appear to be the problem, but the question is what controls this?
As I said the project is exactly the same (same WAR file) so what I have done differently or what am I
missing in the new enviroment.
I set the "Text file encoding" for the whole project to UTF-8 before I exported the project (in Eclipse)
but that didnt help. I even set the properties of each report to UTF-8.
I am sure I am missing something simple.
The only other difference is Im running XP Pro on Eclipse machine but W2KSP4 on the other, but
surely that is not the issue.
Cheers
Darren

Problem exporting crystal PDF using printoutputController.export method

Has anyone used PrintOutputController().export() method in ReportClientdocument to export Crystal PDF report to a JavaIOStream. I am getting an error when I try to export it using this method. The error I get is unable to connect RAS.rptappsrver followed by classcast unable to export to IXMLSerializable. Here is the code I am using.
Is there some setting I need to enable on the server to use the export function or any other idea will be appreciated?
IReportAppFactory reportAppFactory = (IReportAppFactory) enterpriseSession.getService("","RASReportFactory");
ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc = reportAppFactory.openDocument(reportID, 0, Locale.ENGLISH);
return reportClientDoc.getPrintOutputController().export(exportOptions);
Here is the exact Exception:

Here is the answer. After getting ReportClientDoc from factory we need to set the DatabaseController userid and password (if report on Crystal server is accessing oracle database as datasource). In addition we need to set parameters on the ReportClientDoc for reports and subreports before doing the the export.
Here is snippet of code: The code below is used to get ReportClientDocument and export it as PDF using bytestream.
/* Code for getting report client document */
private static synchronized ReportClientDocument getReportClientDocument() throws Exception
         int count = 3;
         ReportClientDocument rpt = null;
         while (count > 0 && rpt == null)

Problems exporting to PDF with AI placed files

I have a 24 page document with placed illustrator files. When I go to export to PDF it takes hours to export. When I change all the placed images to JPG it exports fine. Anyone know why this is happening. I thought the whole point of the newer versions of InDesign was you were able to use native Adobe files.
What are the best file types to place in InDesign?

If would help to know versions and OS. ALWAYS tell us the version(s) of program(s) you are using, what OS, and the version of that OS. Some people overdo it with model and speed of CPU, RAM, video card, monitor size, hard drive space, make and model of car, and shoe size. Don’t need any of that crap.

Problem exporting to PDF from ID CS6. Objects are missing in PDF.

Hello!
I created a large format poster (24x36 inches) in ID CS6 to be printed. My printer requires PDF files to print from. My problem is that when I export my ID file to PDF, objects are missing. For example, in this file, the company logo in the upper left corner of the poster is incomplete (missing the orange color fill with white text in orange circle.) This object was originally created in AI CS6 then imported to the ID document.
I am pulling my hair out trying to fix this and have not been able to find like issues online. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you!!!!

The missing object is visible with Overprint Preview turned on.

Problems exporting interactive PDF in CS5.5

When I try to use my old PDF settings from CS4 my interactive elements do not work. See the snapshot below.
I am able to export successfully pressing Command-E and choosing Adobe PDF (Interactive) but the images, at least in the first example I have chosen, do not reproduce properly in the PDF. See comparison of original created in CS4 (left) and the CS5.5 version (right):
Does anyone have any ideas how to resolve this?
I am using Acrobat X and system 10.6.8

I have found the answer to this problem myself!
Because the interactive setting does not support spot colours being kept it causes problems with any RGB Illustrator files that have been set up using a spot colour. You may well ask why you would want spot colours in an RGB Illustrator file. Well, it's to keep any Lab values intact, but to get around the PDF colour issue you can't have any spots used in this way.

Problem Exporting to PDF from Report Designer 2008

When I export my report from Report Designer unless I deselect the "Create Bookmarks from group tree" I get the following error: "Failed to export the report" If I deselect the option It will successfully create the PDF.
I am running Crystal Reports 2008 with service pack 2. I also have Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 loaded on the machine.

You should start debugging by removing parts of the report to determine what is causing the problem. Once you find that part then re-post with a question on how to work around the problem.

PROBLEM EXPORTING BOOKLET PDF

Hi, I have installed ID CS 3 in my MacBook, and in my PC. I have no problem to export a booklet PDF for my printer in my PC(2-up Saddle Stich): Print settings/Printer: PDF, etc.
But in my Mac I can't, I have Acrobat Professional (+ Distiller) but I don't see the PDF printer...
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance!
Tito

I did Buko, but the problem is still there!
Thanks anyway!

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").
