Transfer PDF presets

How do I transfer my PDF presets from indesign cs6?

If you're on the same computer, you shouldn't have to do this, the PDF presets are shared in a common location for all your Adobe print applications for the past few versions.
That's true for the default presets, but those that you load or create using the Define dialog are user-specific and stored, I think, in your user library/profile.

  • PDF Presets and Large Documents (High Page and Link Count)

    I created an 824-page book using InDesign CS3 (577 image links - all photoshop or illustrator CS3), all in a single file. When I try to use the PDF presets to create a PDF file(doesn't matter what quality), InDesign crashes. I checked all of the links etc. and everything is okay. If I separate the file into three separate books, I can create a PDF from each. Is there a limit to the number of pages that InDesign can handle? Is it possible that my laptop doesn't have enough resources?
    Any help would be appreciated!

    It would be nice if there was a log file created during a failure. But that would require more resources and compound the problem.
    There is no doubt that the corporate issued Dell is a low-resource machine.
    In the end, this book will be modular so chapters can be added or subtracted as required by the audience. I'll just create three separate mini-books or I'll transfer everything to my machine before processing.
    Thanks for the info.

  • PDF preset simplier

    Hello, <br /><br />I use this to load a named pdf preset:<br /><code><br />InterfacePtr<IPDFExptStyleListMgr> docPDFExptStyleListMgr((IPDFExptStyleListMgr*)docWorkspace->QueryInterface(IID_IPDFEXPORT STYLELISTMGR));<br />int32 nStyleIndex=docPDFExptStyleListMgr->GetStyleIndexByName(profileName);<br />if( (nStyleIndex >-1) && (nStyleIndex<docPDFExptStyleListMgr->GetNumStyles()) )<br />styleRef = docPDFExptStyleListMgr->GetNthStyleRef(nStyleIndex);<br /></code><br /><br />In Desktop InDesign I just create the preset in the dialog. It is OK. But now I want to use the same preset in InDesign Server. Is there a way to transfer the preset from Desktop to Server, so I can use the code? Or do I have to do it in a different way?<br /><br />The same with IFlattenerStyleListMgr.

    You should just be able to copy the '.joboptions' files that contain the presets from your laptop to the machine that hosts ID server.
    These joboptions files are in 'C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Shared Documents\Adobe PDF\Settings' on Windows and '\Library\Application Support\Adobe PDF\Settings' on the Mac.
    EPS presets are different. They're not stored system-wide. You'll need to save the preset on your laptop through the Print Presets dialog, then load it in IDServer on the host machine. Probably the easiest way to do that is with the script...
    app.importFile(ExportPresetFormat.printerPresetsFormat,"APreset.prst");

  • How do I transfer PDF files from PC to IPAD using Itunes 12.1.2.  Previous versions let me drag file in Itunes to Ipad and files appeared under Ibook but can't get it to work in latest 12.1.2 version.

    How do I transfer PDF files from PC (Windows 7) to IPAD using Itunes 12.1.2.  I would like to do files manually rather then auto synch.  Previous versions let me drag file in Itunes to Ipad and files appeared under Ibook and then I could move them to an appropriate collection title.  The interface appears to have changed in the latest ITunes version and I am not sure what the proper procedure is.

    King_Penguin - Thanks it worked perfectly.  I had my pdf files copied into ITunes on my PC but when I clicked on a pdf file to copy it I thought the sidebar would appear with my IPAD name and then I would drag it over.  I didn't realize that I needed to click-and start dragging it towards the left-hand side for the sidebar to appear.  It worked like a charm - THANKYOU!!!

  • Adobe PDF presets...

    I have an ID file open... I go to File... Adobe PDF presets... smallest file size. The Save As dialog box comes up with a different file name than the file that I have open and trying to convert to a PDF. This happens occasionally... most the time the file name in the Save As dialog box is the same as the file I am working on. I've got 32 files to convert to PDFs and I don't want to type the file name in the Save As dialog box. How do I get it to work properly?

    This happens because the file was previously exported with a name that didn't match and was subsequnetly saved, burning that name into the file. You can fix it so it defaults to the file name again by exporting to .inx or .idml and outlined in Remove minor corruption by exporting (but it isn't really a file corruption).

  • PDF presets not showing up in indesign CC

    Hi,
    We have about 28 CC users on mac (mavericks), and we've just started using Indesign CC within the last month or so.
    My problem is that we are 'deploying' via remote desktop, a standard set of PDF presets so everyone have the same settings. This works fine on cs3-cs6. But for some reason it does not work with indesign CC. CC wil only show the presets that are in the users/xxx/Application support/Adobe PDF/Settings folder and not the ones from the default folder /Library/Application support/adobe/adobe PDF/settings .
    I can add them by either loading the presets in indesign one by one, on every single mac, or manually  also on every single mac, put the presets in the users folder, but both options really suck. Mind you we change presets very often, so this is really not ideal for me.
    Hope someone can help direct me to the master PDF preset folder for CC - The one folder who rules them all !!!

  • How to include security settings into InDesign PDF presets?

    I have prepared an InDesign template for multiple users in my team. Ihave created a set of PDF presets for exporting PDFs to keepconsistency. I want to protect all the PDF files with password and haveto include the password protection in the PDF presets. But InDesign PDFpreset is not supporting the security tab.
    Currently I have suggested the batch command in Acrobat Pro for security settings.
    It would be much helpful if Adobe help me in this.

    riott.girl wrote:
    Using the File>Adobe PDF Presets, chose anyone of the pre-existing Adobe pre-sets--not one that you've created.
    Change the settings to the pre-sets you want, including the security settings, and then click "save preset".
    That would be an nice easy solution, but there is no access to security settings in the PDF presets.

  • System wide PDF presets location is not working in CC

    On both Mac and PC, the system wide location for PDF settings (.joboptions) does not work anymore.
    /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings (on a Mac)
    It is illogical to remove this feature. Even if that folder does not store the main default presets, which are now stored in each application, it still needs to be looked at and loaded from. It's actually illogical to store the same preset in multiple locations (i.e. each application). If there is a preset that is only for a certain application (e.g. Illustrator Default), this could be put in the application folder, but all others like High Quality, Prepress, PDF/X should be in a central location, i.e. where they used to be.
    I know that each user can manually load into their own PDF presets, which then do appear in all suite apps, but this has to be done every time a new user logs into a computer.
    The central location meant that all suite apps would see a custom set of presets automatically across the entire suite and across multiple versions of the suite. The other advantage to the central location is that the presets would appear in square brackets, in other words read only, so they cannot be changed by the user without saving as a new file.
    Having users manually load and be able to change the presets kind of defeats the purpose of having a preset, certainly in our environment, where we need these settings to be consistent across all apps, all computers and all users.
    Please put this feature back or at least honour the central location that used to be used.

    Hi,
    As per the description, I understand that your Office 2013 cannot open files through a network share directly.
    I would like to know that how many clients/users are affected by this in your environment. It could be some specific user account settings, that the Office applications are being affected by.
    I'd first suggest you try with a new Windows user profile, then verify result.

  • PhotoShop CS2 and PDF Presets question.

    Hello,
    I have installed the recent free release of Adobe Photoshop CS2 on my Win 8.1 PC.
    I am creating the artwork for a CD Cover, by using a CYMK template from CD-Baby.
    They require that the finished artwork be submitted to them in PDF format, using the [PDF/X-4:2008] preset.
    I found that Photoshop CS2 didn't come with this preset, but after searching the web, I came across this forum whereby a user posted a link to a "JobOptions" archive file at...
         http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16243351/joboptions.rar
    ... I downloaded this RAR file and found that there was a file inside called "x4;2008.joboptions"
    I installed this preset by the 'EDIT/Adobe PDF Presets/' route, and it seemed to successfully install the preset.
    (No errors at least).
    Now when I go to save my finished project as PDF, I am given the choice of...
    * [PDF/X-1a:2001]
    * [PDF/X-3:2002]
    * x4;2008
    (this is the exact description of each preset).
    My only question is, do you think the desired [PDF/X-4:2008] was correctly installed?,
    I'm not sure since the naming format is not exactly the same as the first 2 presets descriptions.
    Thank you.

    thanks for your reply  Mylenium.
    is it possible that this user preset might not exactly conform to the desired preset I'm after?
    is there any way I can get a genuine copy of the factory preset [PDF/X-4:2008]?
    thanks.

  • InDesign CS3 PDF Presets disappeared

    One of my Macs that has been working fine for a while has suddenly lost it's PDF Presets. I should maybe say misplaced, as they are available in the File>Adobe PDF Presets drop-down menu, but not via the Print dialog.
    Dual 2.3 G5, OS X 10.4.11, InDesign 5.0.4, Acrobat 7 instead of 8 due to Quark, Quark 6.52

    I ran through the usual suspects; repair disk permissions, update OS and CS3. No luck. I stubmled upon the link below, again, and manually set permissions for the Application Support folder. It works again (for all accounts).

    I have a similar problem: I used to transfer .pdf files between a WinXP laptop and a WM6.1 Samsung Omnia i900, and the converter worked OK. I read the files on the mobile device with Adobe Reader for PPC 2.0 without problems, with correct resizing of the screen . Now I changed my Laptop to a Win7 64bit T410, the files are tranferred with no conversion and the screen reading is messy and very, very somall, with no way to resize it to fit the screen. Can somebody help with advice? Thanks.

  • Adjusting the page information in pdf presets?

    Hi,
    Is there a way to adjust the information in the "Page information" when creating pdf-files from Indesign (i.e. in the pdf presets)?
    As you know the defalt is file name and page number and date and time. I would like to include total page number, like page 1/100 or page 1 (100) or something like that.
    Does anyone know if I can adjust the page information area to include things like this?
    With kind regards,
    - Johan.

    In English it's called the Slug.
    I'm not sure, though, that it will help you because there is still no easy way to get the absolute page x of n pages automatically. There are page number markers that deliver the current LOGICAL page number, and a Last Page Number text variable, which in theory can be set to use absolute page numbering, but you must also set the document prefs to use absolute numbering, and then you get logical page x of absolute n, which may work for you if your sections are all using unique number styles, or you have only one section, or you can set the doc to use Section Numbering, and set the variable to use sections as the scope and your variable will return the last page number of each section, so you get logical page x of section length n. If you don't start the section on page 1, it becomes even stranger.

  • Pdf/x-4 2010 pdf preset made via Indesign not compatible with Illustrator?

    Hello all
    I am working with a digital printing company and want to create a pdf preset that they can distribute to their customers to help make sure pdfs are properly made for their workflow. We've tested pdf/x-4 on their equipment and want to make that standard the base for their preset.
    I made a preset in IndesignCC which shows up and is accessible in InDesignCC and PhotoshopCC, but is not accessible in IllustratorCC. It does not show up in the presets list in the "save as... pdf" dialogue. It does show up in the Edit>Adobe PDF Presets function though.
    When I attempt to load the .joboptions file into Illustrator via that Adobe PDF Presets function I get the error "The preset is not recognized as a valid .joboptions file."
    I noticed that IllustratorCC is using the pdf/x-4 (2008) standard, while InDesignCC is using the pdf/x-4 (2010).
    Is IllustratorCC not yet compatible with the 2010 standard? If not, this is a serious wrench in the pdf preset workflow that allows the applications to share .joboptions files amongt themselves.
    Any thoughts or help solving the problem of sharing that InDesign Generated preset with Illustrator would be much appreciated.

    Hi jdanek, thanks for replying. PDF/x-4 supports transparency natively, supports multiple color spaces (this allows the vendor's rips to handle color conversion), and is an excellent option for their PDF print engine workflow. They want a custom variety that sets the resolution, bleed, etc. to give to their customers.
    I did resolve the issue by making a new preset in Illustrator. That one is also available in InDesign and Photoshop but still, I'm curious as to why the InDesign-made preset is not compatible with Illustrator.
