Running headers wrong after export to PDF

I am trying to use a Running Header (Paragraph Style) variable to display in the header of several sections in an InDesign file. It all works fine when viewed in InDesign. But when I export to PDF, the header in every section displays the title of the first section, not the current section. How can I fix this?

Both. I have a single file divided into three sections, call it content.indd. That file is combined with another file in a book (.indb) The problem arises when I export the book to PDF. The second and third sections derived from the content.indd file are the ones with the incorrect headers.
To be specific, in the PDF rendition, the first section header is correctly "Section 1: Overview." The second and third sections are titled differently, but still show "Section 1: Overview" in the header.
Any ideas?

    It looks like the 2 DLLs you mentioned, are getting corrupted or modified due to some operation that might have been performed on them. Can you please try the below mentioned instructions and see if that gets your application to install without any errors:
    1. Try installing your business app.
    2. When you see the error message as stated, try running the below mentioned commands: (Start | Run | Type cmd and hit Enter)
        regsvr32 LTKRN11n.dll /i /s
        regsvr32 LTKRN11n.dll /s
        regsvr32 LTDIS11n.dll /i /s
        regsvr32 LTDIS11n.dll /s
    3. The above commands should fix the issues in the mentioned DLLs and allow normal installation of your business app.
    Hope this gets your app to work and install properly.

  • Running headers not displaying correctly in PDF

    I have running headers in my document to show the chapter number. It was all working fine until I made some changes to the main text, now all my running headers show 'chapter 1' when I generate a PDF. They all look absolutely fine in the ID document.
    I've tried generating the PDF on a different computer, and still get the same result.
    I'm using CS5.5 on Windows 8.
    Any help gratefully received.

    Thank you, Eugene.
    I eventually exported all the files as individual PDFs, and that way the running headers were fine; it just won't do it if I export the entire book.
    I tried the IDML method and it messed up the formatting in the files.

  • Bleed settings come out wrong when export to PDF

    I'm working on a 5x13 door hanger in InDesign with a .125" bleed on all sides. I did the front in Illustrator and brought it into ID and I did the back entirely in ID since it's text heavy.
    When I export it to PDF with bleed and crop marks showing, the crop marks show up where the color ends instead of .125" in from the edge of the color.
    I keep double checking both the ID and Illustrator documents, and I can't see anything wrong. Maybe I'm missing something, but I can't think what.
    Has anyone run into this problem before? Any thoughts on what I might be missing and how to fix it? Maybe ID handles bleeds differently than what I'm used to?

    When you export to PDF there is an option to set bleeds in the export dialog or use the document bleeds. Maybe you have them set to 0 in the dialog and haven't checked use document bleeds?

  • Indesign CS4 button flashes after exported to PDF and viewed in Acrobat Reader/Professional X

    Hey everyone,
    Greetings!
    I've encountered this odd problem when preparing my portfolio.
    I've created some 40 buttons in InDesign CS4 (all according to the official tutorial) to Show/Hide Fields (specificly images), and navigate through the pages.
    The buttons all have their own Normal and Rollover states, but no Click states.
    After exporting the file to PDF, I tested the buttons in Acrobat Reader 9 and Acrobat Pro 9, and both the actions and the states worked fine.
    BUT that's not the case with Acrobat Reader X or Acrobat Pro X.
    The actions are still there, showing the images and navigating, but the states are not!
    The buttons' rollover states just flashes when the mouse hover above them, and even in Normal state, they kept *blinking* randomly.
    Frustrated for a week.
    PS. I suspected and used a Indesign file with only one simple button to rule out the following:
    1. Overlapping buttons
    2. Slow processing due to large image size
    3. Mishandling of transparency
    At this moment I'm pretty sure it's an Acrobat thing...Help!

    Thanks Dave! I was in the middle of writing this when your post came in:
    Not sure if this will help anyone, but I changed the button fill color to white and it seemed to fix the flicker. I exported each state from indesign as a PDF and recreated the button from scratch. This still had the flicker. I'm guessing something strange is happening with the transparancy of the states.
    Glad to hear it's fixed!

  • Page numbering wrong when exporting to pdf

    I have a 340-page book, broken into about 40 chapters.  The chapters are set as the start of a section, and there are no section changes inside the chapters.  Theoretically, the pages should number consecutively throughout the book -- and they do, in InDesign 5.5.  But when I export to pdf, they get all screwed up. 
    For instance, the page numbers in Chapter 6 start correctly at #27, but the following pages are numbered like this:  28, 29, 28, 29, 28, 29, 30.  The last page number should be 35, not 30.
    This happens sporadically throughout the book.
    I've checked to be sure each chapter has only one section, and that page numbering is set consecutively.  In ID, all the page numbers are in order.  But once they get exported to pdf, they go crazy.
    Thanks............

    Peter:  My reply above to John kind of overlaps this reply, so it might be well for you to read that, too.  You'll find there a whole list of problems I had with CS4; going back is not the answer.
    I agree that one problem is that I don't have extensive experience with ID.  But I'm living on an extremely limited income, and I hoped the Creative Suite would help alleviate that.  I has done that; it has also added a great deal of frustration.  I don't have a huge IT budget to draw from.  The original outlay for CS4 was an extreme reach for me, and I didn't really have the funds for an upgrade.   How I would love to spend a few thousand dollars to fly to Pittsburgh or New York and spend a week or so immersed in an Adobe workshop!  Unfortunately, I live on a small town without such resources.  I have watched as many videos as I could find, and I have gone through several step-by-step books.  But you're right:  hands-on experience is necessary, and I'm scrambling to learn as much as I can as quickly as I can.
    I would imagine you're right, too, when you say that bugs are inevitable in a complex program.  What I have trouble understanding is why they aren't fixed, especially considering the price of the program.  The problem with internal hyperlinks not working in epubs has been a known issue for some time, and according to one Adobe expert's post, the developers' attitude has been more or less, "Yep, that's a problem, all right."  But it hasn't been fixed.
    Not only am I working on a limited budget, but I have made promises to clients I haven't been able to keep.  It's frustrating when clients are screaming, "Where's my book?" and I'm fighting with "known ID issues."  One novel was supposed to have been published in early October.  I was all ready to finalize it when I noticed the page numbering problem.  I feel I have spent far too much time chasing ID program bugs -- and I don't get paid for posting requests for help in the forums.
    In reference to the internal hyperlink problem, I have attempted to "crack open the epub and do some fixing."  If that would work, I would have no problem; I know HTML.  But after I "rezipped" the files,  I couldn't read the result in any epub reader. I'd like to know how Ms. Castro puts its back together after cracking it open.  Perhaps it can be done with a Mac; as far as I know, it can't be done on a PC without oXygen, yet another expensive program I can't afford.   (However, after going to her website, I have decided I need to buy her book.  Thanks for that tip!)
    I do appreciate your help, and I apologize for getting so impatient.  I hope you and the other moderators will be patient with me.  I'm working hard to learn as fast and as much as I can and sometimes the frustration gets overwhelming.

  • Unwanted Anti-aliasing after export to PDF!?

    Dear comunity,
    First of all let me say, that i am relatively new to indesign,
    this is really driving me crazy: my boss gave me the task to renew our business cards (no new layout, just different names and addresses.) So i took the indesign file my predecessor made and switched the names and contact information. The indesign file contains three back sides for three different people, every one with their own QR-code.
    I made three new QR codes, deleted the old ones and brought the new ones in. (the codes were originally PNG, i put them in Photoshop and exported as PSD, since i heard, that i should use PSD files in ID instead of PNG or JPEG.)
    When exported to PDF, two of these QR codes are working just fine, the third one has the following problem: On the edges of the code, thin light gray lines appear, for my untrained eye, these look just like anti-aliasing. These do only appear in the exported PDF, not in Indesign itself, and only in one of the three QR-codes, though i created and imported them all the same way.
    I should probably mention, that i made the codes 50% transparent. I already did lots of research regarding that problem, and one person said, that this is a bug, which has been solved in ID CC 2014, so i updated my ID to that version, imported the corrupt PSD anew, still the same problem.
    What did i do wrong with this particular PSD file? Might there be a button or something, when i have the psd selected in iD, that toggles AA on and off for that particular file??
    I added two pictures. the 1st one is one of those, who don't make any problems, the second one is the one, that has the unwanted anti-aliasing (or whatever it is). I just made screenshots out of Acrobat, because this forum wouldn't let me upload The PDFs. As i said, they both come from the same ID file, exported the same way.
    Thanx in advance for all your kind help.
    Nigi

    Thank you Willi, one more question,
    You are saying, i down sampled with the wrong method. So what would be the right method? I just drag and dropped the file and placed using the placegun thingy.
    Just asking for future projects, this particular problem will be solved by the internal QR-editor, i'm sure.
    Boy that whole print-stuff is a whole new area for me, there's much to learn, so i am very grateful for people like you, who take their time to help a poor autodidact...
    Thanks

  • BI Reports printing in BI 7 after exporting to pdf

    Hi all,
    I have an issue with regard to prinitng the Reports in BI 7 after we do the export to pdf format.
    the users want to combine all the reports into one PDF file when printing?
    If so, is there any such standard functionality in BW or else what could be done to achieve this.
    pls advise...
    thanks in advance
    Neel

    Hi,
    what about creating one webtemplate with several webitems "webtemplate".
    So you can execute each report, but can print ~20 webtemplates via the master template to one pdf file.
    Kind regards,

  • Pages crashes after exporting to PDF or .doc

    This is a problem now that it happens everytime i use pages.
    I'm working on a document and then I go to save a PDF by either Export in the File menu
    or by choosing "save as PDF" in the printer dialogue
    after it saves the PDF as soon as I go back to the pages doc the app crashes.
    and asks me if i want to reopen cancel or send a report - which i have done.
    this also happens if i save as .doc
    maybe i have to reset the app?
    this is making pages unusable unfortunately

    There used to be a reproducible crash in the past with a footnote, if you deleted the text referencing the footnote without deleting the footnote and then printed/exported to PDF. However, that problem is gone in the latest versions, as far as I can tell.
    Apart from that, I do not know of any definite crash scenarios.

  • Photos blurred after exporting as pdf

    Hi,
    after exporting my pages-file into pdf, one of the photos is pretty blurred. Can anyone help, please?
    Thank you so much!!

    pavinova

    I am no Pages expert but I got the blurring when tried to reduce the file size either by Pages reduce file size (Pages 5.5) or selecting the Good or Better output (Pages 09).  I got better results when reducing all photos outside of Pages using a graphics editor. I used Graphic Converter and got good results but am sure other apps (Photoshop etc.) work well too. Try with all settings at best quality and see how the pdf looks then. You should be able to get a pdf looking as good as the Pages file.

  • Change in report format after exporting from pdf format to excel format.

    Hi,
    I got a problem while exporting the pdf format of the Report to Excel format "Fully-Foramtted Grids and Texts".
    The format gets automatically changed.
    Is there any solution to this problem.

    Can you give some more details?
    Which version are you using (and which patch level - if any).
    Also what formatting is default on the reports and what is the default format in excel.
    What exactly is different between PDF and excel?
    Another possibility is that font substitution is going on??

  • Blacks turn dark grey after exporting to pdf from InDeign cs6

    Exactly what the title says. The one on the right is from Indesign....the left one is after exporting (the same in preview and acrobat reader).Anyone know why this happens?

    In this case it looks like the color change is because the color mangement settings are not sync'd and not a color conversion—if there was a CMYK-to-CMYK conversion on export the image wouldn't show through.
    ID, Acrobat, and Preview all display some black CMYK mixes as something other than absolute black, but the preview depends on the color settings so there could be a shift if they don't match.
    Different black mixes US SWOP Coated with Black Point Compensation
    The same values with an Uncoated CMYK profile without BPC:

  • Indesign to PDF. Logo appears blurred after exporting to PDF.

    I have a png and jpeg logo that appears fine in my indesign doc but when I export to PDF the image is blurred and has a white line around the logo edge as if the image is bleeding into the page.
    The png and jpeg logo file (I have tried both versions) is 4x4 inches and 300 dpi. I am a loss at to what the problem is. I have tried smooth line art in the Adobe preferences.. but nothing works there.
    Is there a standard setting for Indesign and Adobe (in terms of output) that would help resolve this issue.. ? Any ideas greatly appreciated...

    Hi. Thanks for stepping in with some advice. I'm actually exporting at print quality so avoiding the low resolution pdf issue but the logo has a transparent background and is a png file. Would it help if I resaved it as a vector file? Any further advice would be welcome. It looks 100% fine in Indesign but just my exporting to PDF makes the logo look terrible. Thanks again..

    Any pointers?

    It has been a while since I have checked this. Sorry for any delay. We have attempted to rearrange items however have had no luck.
    On small break through we have is that we have a custom link setup using Microsoft IIS on our server so we can access the application from outside of our network rather than just internally. We have found that we only have the print/export issues when using this external link so there may be an issue with our IIS configuration. Just throwing that one out there in case anyone has had a similiar issue with IIS configuration and found a fix.
