Sharing keynote file as a pdf results in a corrupt file?

I have added graphics to the keynote presentation by copying from Preview.app.
When I share and export as  PDF, it crashes acrobat and other pdf viewers on
Windows and Linux.
This is a reproducible error and has happened to a couple of my colleagues recently.
This is a new bug as I have used this workflow many times in the past without problems.
How can I avoid this? Is this a bug?

Is your problem possibly related to the Open Type Font Problem occuring in OS X 10.6.7 and later?

I have no fix at the moment, only to use a Mac running an older OS X installed. The PDF-Creation for iWork Files works there correctly

    Not certain this is what you're after, but this :
    #import the contents of both csv files
    $dbexcel=import-csv c:\dbexcel.csv
    $liveexcel=import-csv C:\liveexcel.csv
    #prepare the output csv and create the headers
    $outputexcel="c:\outputexcel.csv"
    $outputline="Name,Connection Status,Version,DbExcel,LiveExcel"
    $outputline | out-file $outputexcel
    #Loop through each record based on the number of records (assuming equal number in both files)
    for ($i=0; $i -le $dbexcel.Length-1;$i++)
    # Assign the yes / null values to equal the word equivalent
    if ($dbexcel.isavail[$i] -eq "yes") {$dbavail="Available"} else {$dbavail="Unavailable"}
    if ($liveexcel.isavail[$i] -eq "yes") {$liveavail="Available"} else {$liveavail="Unavailable"}
    #create the live of csv content from the two input csv files
    $outputline=$dbexcel.name[$i] + "," + $liveexcel.'connection status'[$i] + "," + $dbexcel.version[$i] + "," + $dbavail + "," + $liveavail
    #output that line to the csv file
    $outputline | out-file $outputexcel -Append
    should do what you're looking for, or give you enough to edit it to your exact need.
    I've assumed that the dbexcel.csv and liveexcel.csv files live in the root of c:\ for this, that they include the header information, and that the outputexcel.csv file will be saved to the same place (including headers).

  • Way to save MS Word file as a PDF with original MS Word file date?

    For archiving purposes, I'm betting PDFs will be readable (backwards compatible) long after my current file saved in Microsoft Word becomes out of date. Anyone know of a way I can save my Word file as a PDF while retaining the original Word file last-modified date (for patent protection reasons to prove date of authorship)? (or Word to text file or ASCII file would also be equivalent as long as original date is kept)

    I doubt that a computer date would suffice for legal proof of date. It is easily changed for those that know their way around the computer. I would have to play a bit, but could probably do it without too much trouble. About the only way to satisfy the need for a patent is to properly insert the pages in a patent notebook and get the information notorized. From what I have seen, the legal profession generally requires hard copy, not a computer file. A loose-leaf form is also typically not acceptable, but a bound notebook properly annotated. The notorized aspect is a way around some of this I think. In any case, it sounds like you need to consult a patent attorney.

  • SFC results show some corrupt files not removed/rectified

    I have checked with System File Checker - SFC and the report states that Windows resource protection found some corrupt files  in the system but could not be rectified or removed by it.  How to resolve this issue.  I have uploaded Event Viewer
    report and named it evwr and sent this compressed file to Skype.  Kindly help me to resolve/rectify this problem. Thanks. Vaidyanathan

    Hi, Vaidyanathan
    I suggest you follow these steps to solve this problem:
    1. Run “chkdsk/r” to  check whether the hard drive has bad sectors and repair it.
    2. Sometimes you may need to try several times to run “sfc
    /scannow”. If it does not work, you can try to run “sfc
    /scannow” command at boot , the files may be locked sometimes.
    3. You can also try to manually fix the corrupted file:
    Here is a link for reference :
    Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files
    https://support2.microsoft.com/kb/929833?wa=wsignin1.0
    4.If the problem still exits ,please upload the log to OneDrive and paste the download link for further analysis.
    <var>%WinDir%</var>\Logs\CBS\CBS.log
    5.You can also choose to return system to a previous state at which your system is functioning fine with restore point. (please note that you will lose some recent settings )
    6.
    If all the steps above won`t work ,you can do a Repair Installation

  • Automator (or anything) to mass transfer one file at a time, or skip over corrupted files?

    I'm currently recovering files (using Disk Warrior) from a failing hard drive, but when OS X hits a corrupted file ("Error -36"), it cancels the entire transfer, rather than skipping over it.  Basically, I have to transfer one file at a time, which, on a 2TB hard drive, is going to be insanely tedious, so I was wondering if there's an automation that can transfer one file at a time, or some other way to transfer files that won't stop mid-process?

    in my experience, people who know enough unix to understand what you suggested rarely ask questions about automator.  Auto-mechanics don't generally need advice on choosing an auto repair shop.
    Applescript is probably the easiest way to go with this.  I don't know what the file structure of the recovered documents is, but in general you'd run something like this:
    set sourceFolderPath to "/path/to/recovered items folder/"
    set destinationFolderPath to "/path/to/destination folder/"
    tell application "System Events"
              set theFiles to files of folder sourceFolderPath
              repeat with thisFile in theFiles
                        try
      -- move files one-by-one in an error block
                                  move thisFile to folder sourceFolderPath
                        on error
      -- you can put something here to log the skipped files or display a dialog, if you like
                        end try
              end repeat
    end tell

  • Keynote to .pptx resulting in a corrupted file?

    I've just recently updated both my home and work iPad's version of Keynote to v2.2.1. Unfortunately, there's a serious problem. If I try to send the file to PowerPoint (via email or Dropbox etc) the resulting .pptx is unreadable by Microsoft PowerPoint or the iPad's new PowerPoint app. It claims that "PowerPoint was unable to display some of the text, images..." and has replaced all my slides in the resulting file with blank slides.
    Clearly the content is still there because I've been able to see it if:
    A) I re-import the .pptx back into Keynote from my Sent mail folder
    B) I preview the file in the browser version of my gmail account
    C) I preview the file in various "PPTX Repair" apps (that seem a bit dodgy and far too expensive for a hopefully one-off problem).
    Strangely this only happens if I send a Keynote file that I already had on my iPad prior to the update (even files that have exported to PowerPoint just fine up until now). If I create a new Keynote file, it exports fine. If I copy a slide from one of my old files into the new file and export it, it fails just as above.
    This is a huge problem as I've been using my iPad for years to create teaching resources in Keynote, which I need to send to colleagues as PowerPoint files.
    Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    Hi I'm having this problem too since I updated it's cauing me a lot of problems at work. if anybody has any adives that would be great

  • Exporting to pdf results in humungus sized file!

    I wrote a thesis and want to export it to pdf for webb use. I do so in good quality, not better or best. The result is a 120 Mb sized file. I do not have many pictures in it.  Why the big size? Some pictures are inserted in the layout as pdf. Does this create the problem?

    Changed all pdf pictures to jpg. solved.

  • Combining mulitple image files into a PDF results in different pages sizes

    Hi
    I prepared 150 images in Photoshop using a script. All the images are the same pixels dimensions, same resolution and same file type.
    When I combine them into a PDF using Acrobat XI, some of the pages are very small. I cannot see the logic as to why this happens, and nor can I fix it.
    Any ideas?
    /Jason

    Acrobat should be using the same information - pixel dimensions and resolution (except for filetypes like GIF where it is ignored). May be worth reopening an image from a problem page and rechecking these values.

  • Using my Mac all pdfs result in zero byte files

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled with the same result.

    This sounds very alarming. Please help us understand what you are seeing as it is not typical and may even be unique. For instance,
    * are these old PDFs which used to be fine but which now are not?
    * is it new PDFs that you are making (how)?
    * how do you see that they are zero bytes?
    * what Mac OS?
    * anything else you can think of especially, other strange things starting around the same time.

  • Opening bank data files in a PDF format not working, the file defaults to Quicktime and only displays one page.

    Opening bank data files, while logged into the bank or brokerage sites, by clicking on the PDF or file name icon, is supposed to open in PDF format but instead opens only a single page in Quicktime. This also happened several years ago in Leopard and required the removal of Quicktimeplugin.plugin. I have tried doing that in Lion with no success. Any thoughts?

    Gerry Brown wrote:
    "from that page" does not make sense.
    The file exists in a folder on your machine, correct?
    If not, you need to download the file from your bank. Or use "Save as" in the browser.
    No the file is on the Webpage he is visiting.
    @ OP Right click on it and select Save File As. then save it to your HDD. Then open it.

  • How to merge text files and put the result in a text file.

    Hi,
    I am trying to merge the files(text) using OWB and I would like to put the result in a file. Could any one please explain how to do this.
    Thanks and regards
    Gowtham Sen.

    using the unix commnad 'cat' along with the redirect '>>' will concat the files into one target
    #this will create the target file and over-write it if it existed already
    cat file1 > target
    ##Now add the rest of the files to the target, without over-writing
    cat file2 >>target
    cat file3 >>target
    cat file16 >> target
    You can then use an external table on the target file.
    A nicer way would be to user a 'for loop', but this will work fine.

  • "In Adobe Standard, when combining files into one pdf, how do I keep the original date"?

    I converted multiple emails into a pdf file.  After opening the pdf file, I wanted to combine the files into one pdf however once combining the files, the date modified of the files changes to the current date.  How do I preserve the original dates of the emails when combining the files?

    Hi Softball ,
    Thank You for posting on the forums. Apparently there is no such feature that would help you to achieve this.

  • Convert print dimensions of an InDD file or a PDF?

    I have a CS4 INDD file that was prepared for me as 6" x 9" ...but I need it printed at 75% scale ( to equal 4.5" x 6.75"). Is there any way to convert an INDD OR a PDF file to a smaller size or would I need to literally copy & paste all the elements into another INDD file at a smaller dimension?
    PS - I have heard of a plug-in called "Quite a box of Tricks", which apparently shrinks print sizes on PDF's like a print provider would. Not sure if that is something I need to buy or if I can do it through INDD or Acrobat Pro?
    Thanks kindly,
    Chemol

    You cannot export an InDesign file to a PDF with scaling. You can print to a PostScript file with scaling then Distill that file into a PDF using Acrobat Distiller. You cn also pace an InDesign file or a PDF into a new InDesign file and scale the placed file in the new InDesign file. This file can be exported as PDF. I would go that way.

  • PDF export of adobe illustrator files loses layers

    When we export an iBooks Author file as a PDF (best quality), Adobe Illustrator files that have transparent layers lose their transparency.
    The .ai files look fine iBooks Author (where is gives the file name of the image as a .pdf because that is how iBooks author imports .ai files), and when you Preview the file in iBooks on the iPad, and the transparent layers are there.
    It is only when exporting to PDF that the image breaks.

    The problem was in "printing" the PDF.
    The issue was completely resolved by printing the iBA file to a Post Script file, and then indepently using Adobe Distiller to produce the final PDF.
    It makes no sense to me why using Print to Adobe PDF from the iBA print menu works any differently than using Distiller on a .ps file. But whatever, it works, and it is beautiful.
