Share PDF Save Presets

I'm looking for a simple way to share PDF save presets. Ideally, some kind of package I can email to both Mac and PC users for use in both Acrobat Pro XI and Illustrator CS6. Would likely be used mostly in saving .ai to PDFs in Illustrator.
Manually describing save settings through email always leads to user-inaccuracy. Would be great if there was a file type that, when opened, just plugs itself into relevant programs with PDF export or save options.
Would really appreciate some help on this!

I made a custom PDF preset called HQS_150ppi. It's been saved into the path I wrote about. Note the .joboptions extension:
In InDesign CS6, it's shown in the Export > Adobe PDF (Print) dialog box or File > Adobe PDF Presets. In Illustrator CS6, it's shown in Save As > Adobe PDF (pdf) dialog box or Edit > Adobe PDF Presets:

CC InDesign PDF Export Presets

Hi folks.
So before I went to CC, if I wanted to export to PDF, I would File>Export and choose PDF then get a dialog box.
I made a few presets and they worked just fine. I would choose File>Adobe PDF Presets> choose one and I would still get the dialog box in case I needed to change anything. Then hit ok.
Now that I went to CC, when I choose one of my presets, I get a weird little dialog box at the top of my app window that says "save preset, cancel or export". Er, what? And it has no items in it in case I need to change something. If I go to define a new preset, I get all the options but what's with this new dialog box that ninjas in. I missed it the first few times and wondered why my file hadn't exported.
How do I turn this off and get back to my dialog box? Also, is there a key command (or do I need to make one? can I even make one?) that just exports as if you hit ok?
Please help.
Thanks,
Dot

The first thing to try is repalcing the preferences and restarting the computer. See Replace Your Preferences
If that doesn't work, I've put a folder of the older prests here: https://www.hightail.com/download/OGhkZ285Q1JBNkUwTWRVag

PDF saves as content of last file sent

Everytime I save a word 365 doc into a pdf it turns out to be the contents of the last pdf with this name (but date in doc file name changed). I even restarted my pc & updated it, but it doesn't help.
I have windows 8.1, Microsoft 365, internet explorer, and a pc.

Now it wont even open something I just downloaded.It I update it will it change my toolbar or anything on my pc?Thank you.Maureen

HELP - lost pdf export presets?!

Help! This morning I began work in ID and suddenly discovered that my long list of PDF export presets (which I use for work daily) was simply gone. I have only the default list - screen, print, press, etc. These are very complex presets that I need on a daily basis to produce files for my clients - I really need them.
What happened?? Nothing is different about today; I went through my standard work process this morning. Nothing traumatic happened to ID. I repaired disk permissions and restarted yesterday, but that was a standard maintenence procedure for me - nothing unusual.
This morning I noticed that the files in the user>library>pref?Adobe InDesign folder all showed as being modified at 8:30 this morning, when I started work.
I back up my files and can probably (I hope) recover any missing file - but where exactly is it? I can simply replace the entire preference folder in my user folder...
thx

Just checking: I think this is what I do now: open Export PDF dialog; set all options,
and click Save Preset... in bottom left? they then all appear permanently under File>PDF Export Presets and in Export PDF dialog. Is that what you mean?
(don't mean to bug you, Buko; I appreciate all the help as ever. just trying to collect all new info.)

Adobe PDF (Print) presets: "Cannot create the file. The folder may be write protected."

In Windows 8, this feature of InDesign CS6 only works for the local Administrator account:
File -> Export -> Save as type: Adobe PDF (Print) -> Save -> Save Preset... -> OK
If you try it with any other account this error message is given: "Cannot create the file. The folder may be write protected."
For anyone else encountering this problem, a workaround is to run as administrator.

Which permissions exactly did you set, how did you set them and what did you set them to?
The path to the Drop Box would be /Users/someuser/Public/Drop Box but you obviously wouldn't want the ownership and permissions to be the same on all four directories.
Have you tried using Disk Utility (/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility) to repair permissions? That would probably be the best way to ensure they're correct.

Importing of PDF Export Preset

Does anyone know how to import an existing PDF export preset into IDS. Ideally I'd like to set up Presets in InDesign desktop and then copy them into IDS, but I cant find where the preset files are stored. Alternatively, I could save existing presets as .joboptions files, and then use the script interface to import them. I cant find the right calls to make.
Thanks.

PDF presets are all stored in the same place for all Adobe applications. If you create a new preset using InDesign desktop it will automatically be available to IDS, and vice versa.<br /><br />On the Mac they're stored in : '/<user>/library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings'<br />On Windows: '<user>\Application Data\Adobe\adobe pdf\settings'

How can I store and share PDF files via iCloud?

I am trying to use iCloud to store and share PDF files from my PC, iPad2 and iPhone 4S... They are supposedly supported. I can share .docs, .xls, etc.... However, I cannot figure out how to share a pdf!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can download an iWork document from iCloud as a PDF, but you can't share a PDF document with iWork apps on iOS devices.

How can I share PDF documents in Ibooks

How can I share PDF between my Apple devices with Ibooks? I have on my Ipad a lot of PDF manuals that I want to see on my other devices so I don´t need to download them to Ibooks on every device. Sync is on in the setup but it seems only to work with books and not PDF.

No - it will not work with PDFs. You might consider another cloud service such as Box, DropBox, or Google Docs.

How do I set a PDF Export Preset to force a minimum line weight on output?

How do I set a PDF Export Preset to force a minimum line weight on output? I'm currently using one that came from a printer that works great - but I can't seem to find the option when creating one myself. I have some placed Illustrator line art that is built with .25 line thickness and when I have it placed at 20% scale the lines are too thin to see in the PDF output.

There is absolutely no way to force minimum line widths within InDesign itself, certainly not as part of the PDF export process!! And even one writes a script to go through every object within an InDesign document and both validate and fix line widths less than some particular threshold, such a script would be useless against placed artwork, the contents of which are not available for manual or programmatic inspection within InDesign.
Note that one should be exceptionally careful in “fixing” hairlines, especially if you are placing vector artwork at very low magnification. It may actually be OK to let certain lines drop out. After a fixup on some content, you could end up with a messy mass of lines.

[CS5] Using PDF Export Preset from Distiller with InDesign, doesn't work the same?

Hello,
We are in the process of reworking one of our workflows in which we would manually use Distiller to create a PDF. Now we are trying to automate this with InDesign. My first thought was that I could try using the same PDF Export Preset (.joboptions file) used in Distiller, load it into InDesign, and export my book as a PDF using this preset.
For my current testing example, there are about 115 pages in this PDF document. The PDF that Distiller created is of pretty good quality, and is about 34MB. When I used the same .joboptions file to export an InDesign book of the same original documents as a PDF, the result is equal in quality, but is about 119MB.
Does anyone know why they aren't even close in file size? Is InDesign packing more stuff (maybe related to the actual InDesign documents, or the book itself) into the final PDF? If so, is there anyway to get InDesign to give a similar PDF (in terms of both size and quality) using the .joboptions file from Distiller?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the reply!
I won't be able to use Acrobat Pro, and my hope is to continue using InDesign/InDesign Server. Since my goal is to match what Distiller produces, is there a way (with InDesign) to export PDFs but to strip out the layers/interactivity/transparency that Distiller does not support? The output PDF will be used for archive purposes only.
Thanks again for any advice!

[AS][INDCC] How to set Color Conversion field to No Color Conversion when creating PDF Export preset

How can i set Color Conversion field in Export to PDF dialog to No Color Conversion when creating PDF Export preset? i have done a bit of searching and have found where it has been recommended to set effective pdf destination profile to use no profile but it doesn't seem to be producting the expected results.

Yes, it seems that i had to make the change after creation, not while creating the preset. thank you.
tell application "Adobe InDesign CC"
     set newPreset to make new PDF export preset with properties ¬
          {name:"preset name", standards compliance:none, acrobat compatibility:acrobat 7}
     tell newPreset to set PDF color space to unchanged color space
end tell

Groups missing inherited permissions from parent folder on SMB share on save

If i save a file on a lion share where i have access RW over group permissions, the groups missing inherited permissions on SMB share on save.
File permissions before save:
user: read/write
group: read/write
other: no access
File permissions after save:
user2: read/write (it changed to the actual users who has permission on the Group)
group: no access !!! Why??
other: no access
On Mac OS X 10.6 i was able to force the group permission, from the parent folder.
Everytime i must manualy propagate from the parent folder to fix this !
Any ideas?

I have the same problem. What exactly do you mean by add ACL. I have tried to change the permissions to add the inheritance via ACL, with no joy - so any help you can give would be appreciated. Thank you.
