View PDF after export - grayed out

I JUST upgraded from CS3 to CS4 and now this box is grayed out in my PDF export options. So I now have to launch the PDF manually instead of it being automatically launched after being created. Am I doing something wrong, or is this option no longer available?

Well, I guess it was Halloween and some ghosts got into my update because now I am able to choose the "View PDF after Export" option. It was not available when I tried to edit the PDF preset but it's available once I actually use the preset to generate a PDF. Go figure.

  • "Viewing PDF After Exporting" is grayed out!

    I am using Adobe Design Premium CS5 (specifically Adobe InDesign).  When setting up a new PDF preset, I have selected for compatabilty Acrobat 8/9.  The problem I am having is that the selection for "View PDF after Exporting" is grayed out.  What can I do to get it usable?

    Thank you for responding so quickly.  The tech team here at school moved all my files and programs to another drive, in the process they lost all my preferences, PDF presets, and more.  So I am trying from memory to reconstruct all the tweeking I have done in PHotoshop and InDesign over the last two years - and I am not doing so well.  In the past I have had the ability to select "Viewing PDF after Exporting". 
    As for restoring the preferences - that is out of my league and will have to suggest that to the tech team. 

  • "View Pdf After Exporting" Moves Acrobat to Background

    Wow, even this forum is buggy. I just lost my entire post because the "server wasn't responding". That'll teach me to copy and paste my post into a text file before hitting the Post Message button.
    Here goes again:
    I've tried getting an answer for this problem in the InDesign forum with no response after a week.
    OSX 10.6.7
    Acrobat 9.4.3
    InDesign 7.0.3
    Conditions:
    Step 1) Only InDesign is running. I make a pdf with the "View Pdf After Exporting" box checked. The pdf is created, Acrobat opens and displays my pdf for me as it did in 8 and before.
    Step 2) With only InDesign and Acrobat running, I repeat step 1 above, I get the same result EXCEPT that Acrobat immediately pops into the background.
    This never happened with any version previous to InDesign CS5 and happened before I installed Acrobat 9, sending Acrobat 8 into the background.
    This is a very frustrating bug.

  • Viewing PDF After Exporting from InDesign

    G'day from Australia.
    My name is Steve, I do a bit of freelance work from time to time but I'm also  employed by a Christian Minstry in Brisbane.
    Recently I have encountered (and not just me but my manager as well) that when creating a pdf from InDesign, Acrobat is launched for me to preview the document but it then says that it can't open the document because it is either a wrong file type or because the file might but corrupted. However if i go to the exported document and open it manually it opens fine without any glitches.
    I've searched the web to see if there are any answers to this issue but could not find any.
    We use Adobe Design Premium CS4 on Windows based machines. All our files though are kept on our own local server. The server however is not run on microsft software but on a Novell Software system. Before we went with Novell we used to use windows server software and there were no issues with exporting and previewing pdfs straight from InDesign. Not sure if its related but I thought i'd mention it just in case.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Regards,
    Steve.

    What you are describing sounds like some type of file locking or caching problem on the Novell Netware side. I suspect that when InDesign's PDF export completes, it closes the PDF file on the server, immediately calls Acrobat to open that file, but on the server, either the file is still locked from when InDesign had it open for output or perhaps not all the file's blocks have been written out to disk yet. By the time you then try to manually open the PDF file via Acrobat, the timing issues have been resolved on the Netware side.
    Adobe applications use standard Windows file operations to create, open, close, read, and write files. There is no cognizance of whether the file is local or on a network and if on a network, what type of server is hosting the file.
    For what it is worth, Novell Netware is really obsolete server software. The last version, Netware 6.5, was released in 2003 with the last service update for NetWare 6.5 from Novell in 2008. You didn't mention what version of NetWare you are using, but if you have anything other than NetWare 6.5, I could imagine some really serious disconnects between modern Windows client desktops and the server software.
    You indicated that you didn't have any problems with a Windows Server. I am amazed that any organization would migrate from Windows Server to Novell Netware anytimg during the last six to ten years, although I suspect there was some reason that somebody thought was good. However, your organization most should seriously consider moving back to Windows Server. Your PDF viewing problem is probably only the tip of the iceberg of problems you may potentially encounter.

  • Edit Live Page View in New Tab Grayed Out

    I've been looking forward to use using Dreamweaver CS5 to edit dynamic sites. One of the things I thought would really save time was being able to navigate to a dynamic page in live view and then edit it, instead of using File/Open, but when I browse to a page, the Edit the Live View Page in a New Tab is Grayed Out. Any help?

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you needed to check out the document again when open a document which was checked out by yourself and received the error that the document was locked by yourself.
    I tested the same scenario per your post, and I got the same results as you got.
    I recommend to use the following method to call DispEX (utilizing open document add-on) which is directed to document relative URL instead of using the direct link:
    <a onclick="return DispEx(this,event,&#39;TRUE&#39;,&#39;FALSE&#39;,&#39;FALSE&#39;,&#39;SharePoint.OpenDocuments.3&#39;,&#39;1&#39;,&#39;SharePoint.OpenDocuments&#39;,&#39;&#39;,&#39;&#39;,&#39;&#39;,&#39;1&#39;,&#39;0&#39;,&#39;0&#39;,&#39;0x7fffffffffffffff&#39;)"

    Best regards.

  • How do I view content in Design view once everything is grayed out?

    I was building a web site.   When I switched from horizontal view to vertical view I was no longer able to view content in design view. The entire page was grayed out.  I'm also not able to view content in design view in other web sites too. How do I fix it?

    Well, yes the rest of the phone works, but the sole reason I got it was to able to view these files.  I had a Blackberry and I wanted a bigger screen.  Work allowed me to choose the iPhone or the latest Galaxy phone.  I chose the iPhone because I was told "it just works". 
    I know the Galaxy reads the .txt files because coworkers have it.  If the iPhone wont allow me to read the file then it doesn't matter if "it just works" because it can't do what I need it to do.

  • Grid View Badges Option Is Grayed Out

    I am using LR 4.2 (on Mac) and have been using LR since 2.0. Yesterday all the badges on all my photos disappeared in Grid View. I didn't change any prefernce settings, or update that I am aware of. When I go to View > Grid View Styles> Show Badges, that option is checked, however it is grayed out. On the Mac that usually indicates it is not a viable option.
    I've restarted the program but the problem remains. Any suggestions about how to bring back badges?
    Here is a screen shot:

    Go to View Options>Grid View tab.
    Ensure "Show Grid Extras" is checked, then select either Compact Cells or Expanded cells.
    Ensure you select the items you want to see under "Cell Icons", e.g. Flags, Badges, etc.
    Then UNCHECK as many of the boxes as you want under Compact or Expanded Cell Extras, to remove the info top and/or bottom on the grid cells.

  • File-Export grayed out in CS4 Photoshop 64-bit

    Is it because no 64-bit export modules are available?
    Thanks, Dave

    D'oh. I would probably have figured that out if the items under Export were grayed out instead of the Export option itself.
    Thanks for the reply, Dave

  • Create new PDF - settings button grayed out?

    I have a user who is trying to create a PDF in Adobe Acrobat 10.1.1 and she is reporting that the Settings button is grayed out.  She does not have administrator rights to her PC.  I removed and re-installed Acrobat using my administrator account and that did not fix the issue.  Has anyone seen this issue before and found a fix?
    Thanks!

    We figured it out:  where it has the "files of type", the default is "All Supported Formats" you have to specifically choose Excel file and the settings button is not grayed out.

  • Can you type text on a PDF after exporting from ID? "Fill out a form"

    If i design a simple form in ID can I export an editable PDF to email and others can type and print it?

    BUT, Acrobat 9 is really good at recognizing what should be a form field in a well constructed ID document that you export, so it should be fairly painless.
