Text wrapping when exporting to .pdf

I'm running Pages 5.2 on OSX 10.9.2. When exporting my document to .pdf, it does not retain it's text wrapping. When viewing the document in Pages, everything is where I put it. When viewing the document as a .pdf after exporting, some of the text will no longer be wrapped around some of the pictures. Which text no longer wraps around which picture changes every time I export, even without altering the document in any way. I have tried grouping the objects and the text together, which only seemed to cause more text to fail to wrap.

I'm using Acrobat X. I've attached a cap of the InDesign poster, and what I get when exporting to PDF -- I lose the title, and "Directed by..." (which is the same type size/color as the playwright). Also, I have overprint preview checked for automatic (and tried all the other settings, too).

  • Can you retain text highlighting when exporting to PDF from InDesign?

    Hi,
    I have several publications that are now going to be reviewed by another individual and I was planning to export them to PDF.
    However, I've already highlighted bibliographic references, table call outs, figure call outs in the InDesign file using different colors and I was wondering if there is a way to retain that highlighting when exporting to PDF? Just thought it might make their life a little easier since I already have all that done in the file.
    Thanks!

    Ah ha! Got it! All I needed was your prompt! I looked to make sure that it was set up as conditional text and noticed the Show/Hide option at the bottom of the pop-up. (I knew I saw something before that would allow this, but couldn't remember where!)
    Thanks for jogging my memory!

  • Text dropping when exporting to PDF

    I'm working on an very large poster for a theatre company. The poster has an image, and uses the font Gotham for the text. When I export to PDF from InDesign 5.5, some of the text disappears. I used effects on the title, which disappears, but also some text at the same size/color as other text that does show up. It can't be a corrupt font issue because it's showing up correctly in most areas. Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this?

  • Text Reflow When Exporting A PDF

    I import 2 PDF's. One ontop of the other. The one on top is set to multiply (Transparency Effects). I export a new PDF and the text has reflowed and also causing text sit ontop of text. Imported PDF's are coming out of Quark 8. Quark 7 PDF's do fine. It only occurs if I set the PDF to multiply in ID. I can export from CS3 just fine with multiply on, but not CS4 or CS5. The PDF's are provided by clients. I have no way of swapping fonts. Any advice?

    The PDFs you just sent work fine
    here, but it doesn't prove a lot because they still are not the ones
    inthe ID file you sent yesterday.
    Please, File > Package... then zip that
    folder.
    These PDFs were the in the ID file, I had just copied and renamed them. The problem now is that I can no longer re-create the problem. I don't know what has happened, nothing as far as I can tell. I got a chance to get back into this for a couple of hours late yesterday. Now, what is happening is that anything I create new is working OK as long as it is not being combined with anything old. For example, the 2 test PDFs, that were uploaded, work fine together, but when I switch the bottom PDF out with my client original PDF, I get the reflow issue. If I create a new PDF, from the Client Original Quark file, the combined PDF comes out fine. So, it looks like, moving forward will be problem free. The problem now is that we have thousands of old files, some of which we haven't had any issues with, that we will have to update in order for the problem to be completely fixed. My current solotution would be to combine the PDFs in ID CS3 since the exported PDF is OK in that version and then update only the files we know are problem files. Then to update any that may pop up in the future. The only thing I'm not sure of is, will there be other issues that will arise exporting combined PDFs from ID CS3?

  • Strange text behavior when exporting to pdf

    I have this problem happening all the time - am I doing something wrong or is this a gitch?
    I have a question style that shoots to the left when at the top of a page and when the frame touches the top frame guide. If I move the frame very slightly it goes back to where it belongs - however having to always move the frame that otherwise sits automatically on the page guide is really annoying and time consumming. The second ilmage shows how the line goes to the left - this happens in Indesign usually. However the captures below show another problem that happened yesterday. In this case there was a difference between the InDesign file and the pdf file.
    1st image is inDesign view
    2nd image is odf view - the pdf looks different from what we have in InDesign.
    Any reason why this would happen?

    Acrobat, and Reader, have user preferences, just like other Adobe programs, and you can turn smoothing on or off for text and lineart (this also affects "stitching" on PDFs made with flattened transparency).
    InDesign automatically tries to embed all but the most complex (read CJK) fonts when exporting, and should throw a warning, if you haven't turned it off, when it cannot embed due to font licensing restrictions (in which case I would change the font). Printing to PDF requires that font embedding be enabled in the joboptions that are used by distiller, and those options are quite flexible as far as all, none, or some (i.e. you can designate fonts to always embed or never embed).

  • Text quality when exporting to PDF -- CS4

    Hi,
    Whenever I export my InDesign document to a "high quality print" (PDF) or any PDF preset, for that matter, the text becomes "chunky." The picture below illustrates the problem. The text on the left is how the text appears in InDesign, while the text on the right is how the text appears after exported to a PDF. I have used system fonts and the problem still persists. When I first installed InDesign, I never had this problem, but after having to reinstall it, my exported PDFs look terrible. How can I get the text to appear as it does in InDesign when exporting to a PDF?

  • Report Title and Text Area issue when exported to pdf using Viewer

    Hi there,
    We are using OracleBI Discoverer Version 10.1.2.55.26
    We have reports that displays Report title containing the following
    - Report Title
    - Runt Date and Time
    - Page No
    And text area which displays 'Last Page'
    Following properties are set at the worksheet level using page setup
    Report Title --> 'Print on every Page'
    Text Area --> 'Print on last page'
    The report when exported to PDF using Discoverer plus works fine and displays report title and text area as defeined.
    But when we try to export the same report to pdf from Discoverer viewer, it displays
    - Report title on first page only.
    - text area on all pages
    All our users accesses report using discoverer viewer so we cannot open discoverer plus to them.
    Is there a solution which will enable us to export the report in pdf using discoverer viewer and displays the same output as discoverer plus.
    Please let me know... If you have any questions then please feel free to ask.
    Thanks in advance for your help...

    but when opened on other os x machines some text is colored differently than it should be
    Well, if typographic objects are colour managed, the colour appearance is dependent on the source ICC profile that describes the colourants in the typographic objects and the destination ICC profile that describes the colours the display is able to form and the RBC colourant combinations that will form those colours.
    In general, typographic objects should have special treatment, since the expectation is not that typographic objects should be colour managed, but that typographic objects should simple be set to the maximum density of dark. On a display, that is R=0 G=0 B=0 and on a seperations device (a lithographic press) that is C=0 M=0 Y=0 K=100.
    If for some reason typographic objects are colour managed, and if the ICC profiles for the displays are off by half a mile or more in relation to the actual state of the display system, then the colours will not be the same. On the other hand, if those displays are calibrated and characterized, then the colourants will be converted to form the same colours on the displays.

  • Formatting of text fields when exporting from InDesign to Acrobat Pro

    How does one preserve the formatting  of a text field when exporting from InDesign CS6 to Acrobat Pro? It loses both the font and the alignment formatting in the PDF.

    Use a font that allows embedding/ check the font embedding settings in the PDF output settings.

  • Fontissue when Exporting to PDF CS5

    Commented on linked thread and advised to start new tread.
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/651071?tstart=0
    When Exporting to PDF from ID CS5 I have seen font displace and disappear.
    Have done some tests since my post on linked tread, and find out, using PDF/X_1a:2001 (PDF version 1.3), it works fine. But when I use PDF version 1.4 and above fonts randomly dissappears. See first picture below.
    OK, for me as this is only going to print, but with 1.3 we loose hyperlink and bookmarks if used in other media.
    Have seen font displace when Exporting to PDF, (Second picture) and in this case there was no way to get it right with options mentioned above. Only way it came out right was to outline the font...and also PS - Distiller worked fine.
    I have found my workarounds, but I would really like to trust the Export to PDF in the future as that is the way Adobe advice us to use.
    Workaround 1. Use PDF version 1.3
    Workaround 2.
    In (application folder) Adobe Indesign CS5 - Presets
    Make a new folder - PPDs
    Put (ADPDF8.PPD or ADPDF9.PPD) into this folder. (I had a backup of these files, cant find them online...!?!?)
    Makes it possible to print PS from InDesign and use Distiller.

    @Clement,
    We've determined the root case of the text shifts you're seeing in at least one of the cases. In the Animals_Me_Spreads.indd file is having text drop out due to soft returns at the ends of Text on Path objects. We are investigating what would be necessary to fix it, and would hope that we can address it in a future update or release. In the meantime, you should be able to elimiate the problems by eliminating the use of soft returns on Text on Path objects, for example, replace them with hard returns, or limit one story to a path and make the second path contain a separate story.
    Sincerely,
    Matthew

  • Formatting and alignment issues in Crystal Reports when exported to PDF

    Hi Experts,
    When we export the crystal reports 2013 reports to PDF we are facing issues with formatting and alignment. The columns are overlapping and also for some column's data, we are able to see only some parts of text when exported to PDF.
    Data source for these reports is EHP 7 (SAP ECC 6.0), BO 4.1, Crystal reports 2013.
    As these reports are on priority, your help and suggestions are much appreciated.
    Looking forward to hear from you guys.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Format Changes when Exporting to PDF

    I'm using Crystal 12.0 and have an issue very similar to these threads listed below. 
    While viewing a report on my development machine, all is fine.  I can export to PDF and the formatting is OK. 
    However, when the report is exported to PDF on the web server, the spacing between some of the text is off.  The spacing is used for a CrossTab cell in a "Display String" that I changed using "Format Field."   All that's supposed to happen here is several spaces are used to move the text under the proper column. 
    When exporting to PDF on the web, the text moves over to the left like it's missing some of the spaces.  I wondering if the below threads apply to Crystal 12.0. 
    Thread:1220516 and
    Format Changes when Exporting to PDF
    Thanks kindly for your assistance,
    -Marty

    I'm having a very similar problem using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2008. Everything is perfect when running in VS 2008, it takes the report and exports it to PDF format via VB code. The PDF file is idenitcal to the report. However, when run on the server the one page report (when exported to PDF) gets chopped into ten 4x4 chunks. So the PDF file is 10 pages....its like puzzle pieces of the original.
    I've drawn a bunch of lines on the report to look like boxes - perhaps this is causing issues? The font on the report is Arial.
    The server has the 10_5 runtime installed and it is set to the same default printer as the development PC. I have been stuck on this for days and would really appreciate any advice you may have.
    Thanks!

  • When exporting to PDF fonts are replaced

    I have had this happen several times when exporting to PDF from CS6 with no font errors, all the fonts have been changed in the PDF to another font. Not the default either, but just a different font altogether.
    Has anyone heard of this or experienced this?

    It is pretty easy to determine the fonts are wrong by visual inspection followed by the text edit tool in Acrobat X to confirm what font it is. The original fonts on this particular file were Gotham and they were replaced by Helvetica and our default missing font is Courier. I have found numerous threads with the same or similar problem dating back to September 2014 where they were blaming Indesign CC for the problem, with another person replying they had the same issue with CS6. Some of the advice given to them was to load the fonts locally rather than across a network to a server. The problem is not repeatable that is to say when you notice the issue with your PDF you open the file and export it again and the fonts are now correct with no changes to the file or the way you loaded the fonts. What is alarming is this is intermittent with no font warning while exporting or any further font warnings if the PDF is Normalized through Kodak Prinergy. It is like the postscript code is being written with a replacement font.
    I have enclosed the thread I found and we are going to load fonts locally to see if this helps, if you have any other advice it would be greatly appreciated.

  • Fuzzy vector graphics when exporting to PDF?

    Hi all,
    I've switched to Fireworks from Omnigraffle because I work in a Windows environment and there isn't a Windows-compatible version of Omnigraffle available.
    I've noticed that when I export mockups/wireframes that I create in Fireworks to PDF, that the vector images are all fuzzy, as if anti-aliasing has gone overboard. This never happens when I create mocks/frames in Omnigraffle - what I see on the screen is what I get from the printer.
    Should I be adjusting my settings in Fireworks somehow, say changing the DPI settings when creating a document, turning anti-aliasing off with text, or anything like that? Is there some magic bullet combination that will give me clean wireframes with crisp, clear edges (including text) in Fireworks?
    Thanks so much!
