When exporting to PDF deletes text

I have create a document in Pages but when I export it to a PDF some of the text goes missing. Everything is locked and there. When trying to export it a 2nd time, the text shows up missing again but this time in different spots.
Can anyone help?

Do you have the problem, pimentel? I thought it was fixed in one of the MacOS X 10.4 updates. I don't have it, unless there is some new variant of it.

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!

We are having a similar issue. Importing a perfectly justified word document as an OLE Object in Crystal. The document seems perfect in the viewer but when exported to PDF, the text seems to overlap each other and there are huge spaces between words. Using Crystal 11 release 2 (version 11.5.8.826). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

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.

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?

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

CS3 export to PDF jagged text

My file is just text, and it looks beautiful when I print directly from InDesign. However, when I export to PDF, the text has noticeably jagged edges.
I've tried all the included export settings. I've tried printing to a PDF directly. These all look fine in Acrobat, but lead to the same disappointing results when printed.
PDF files that I didn't produce, print perfectly from Acrobat.
What am I doing wrong?

"I changed the color from "leave unchanged" to "RGB" and the file printed pefectly."
When you "leave color unchanged" you are effectively telling InDesign that the printer will interpret the color values in the document. When you change it to something else (ie: RGB or CMYK or greyscale) you are letting indesign decide what color values to send so that the printer will print closer to what you see. The caveat is that your monitor must be calibrated so that you are seeing color values consistently. And as far as your monitor is concerned black is a color (RGB 0 0 0).

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,
Vijay.

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.

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.

Problem with subscript and superscript in tables when exporting in .pdf

When I put some words in superscript (or subscript) in a table, a bug occurs when exporting in pdf (whit export or print either). All the words in the cell after the subscript part disappear in the pdf version. The rest of the table or the document isn't affected. It's really strange and it has occured since I shifted for the 5 version of Pages...
I've no idea what to do...

It is a long standing bug in Pages 5.
Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.

Any way to reduce the resolution when exporting to .pdf

We are emailing reports. On some reports with a large number of jpegs we are hitting a size limitation. It would be helpful to reduce the resolution on the jpegs when exporting to .pdf. Any way that would be possible?

Hi,
Need more info-
VS version? or the developing application?
CR Version? Are you directly emailing your reports from CR designer?
Also once the image is fetched by the report, we can not make any changes in the image, as a work around you need to do required changes in the image before adding it to the reports, and as far as I know it is not possible through code, but we can wait for other responses though.
Sincerely,
Amit
