When I export to pdf from indesign 4 the jpg's come out as grey box

However when I use the print to pdf file it is ok. Someone was playing with my acrobat distiller a few days ago to view some artwork in a particular way, is it something to do with this and anyone know what they may have changed. I have never had a problem before, also eps files still show, its just jpg that dont.

Distiller has nothing to do with Export.
First, make sure all the links are up to date. Second, in the Advanced section of the Export dialog, make sure none of the boxes under OPI are checked. Third, stop trying to view the PDF in Preview if that's what you are doing.

  • Why are some of my pages blank when I export to PDF from InDesign?

    I have a fairly large InDesign book that I've been trying to export to PDF unsuccessfully. There are lots of images and te
    xt in the book and half export fine and the other half don't. When I export the files individually, they export fine. Any advice why the book won't export correctly?

    I wouldn't expect either conversion or working froma server to affect the export (though working with your ID files directly on the sever is a bad practice -- big potential for disaster due to a network error causing unrecoverable file damage).
    First, do a "Save as" to remnove any unneeded old undo inofrmation from the file and reduce its size, then copy it to your local machine and try to export. If you still have a problem, try emptying your temp folders.

  • When I print to pdf on Mac, the first page comes out fine but all the rest are magnified and shifted up and right

    I click File>Print. Whether I open pdf in Preview, save to pdf, or just print, I get this error. The first page is fine, but all the rest are shifted up and to the right and magnified.
    I've never been able to print out a multi-page document on Firefox with my new computer. I can copy/paste the address to Safari (gross) and it prints just fine, either to pdf or to a hard copy.
    Save me from having to use Safari!

    Making sure the fonts were embedded helped some, but it's still hit and miss. Sometimes I'm still missing pieces. One workaround I have found that works is just print one page without security to PDF, and then go back and replace the bad page(s) with them. So it will print properly, just not all the time. I have a copy of a word page and then what acrobat did to it. I just need to figure out how to post it here.

  • Having trouble exporting to pdf from InDesign CS6

    When I attempt to export to pdf from InDesign CS6, the application crashes. Apparently there is some phantom plug-in issue.
    I need to get this resolved asap.
    Thank you,
    Marissa

    Have a look at this generic document to help you troubleshoot: http://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/troubleshoot-printing-pdf-export-indesign.html
    Could you also provide details about what you've tried, and what errors you encountered? Is this problem limited to a particular document, or all documents?

  • Exporting a pdf from InDesign-need to access Overprint

    I am exporting an InDesign CS5.5 Document with mixed ink and Illustrator eps with pantone overprints.
    When I export it into PDF the native mixed ink in InDesign represent accurately.
    However the Illustrator eps preview as solid gray @ 70%. This is the overprint layer onto of Pantone 293.
    When I turn on Print preview in pdf it is accurate.
    My question is:
    In the export to pdf palette under the output header, there is a check box 'simulate overprint'.
    I've tried several different variations, but cannot get that check box to turn on.
    Unlease I make an X-1a file the overprint for the Illustrator eps does not preview without turning on the output preview palette in Acrobat.
    And lets face it, to the client, that is rocket science.
    How can I access the 'Simulate Overrpint' option when I am exporting the document.
    Thanks,
    J-

    Or, better than that, export the PDF from InDesign as PDF/X-4!
    By default, Acrobat and Reader use overprint preview when displaying PDF/X-4 files. Plus you have the benefit of full color management and not having transparency ruined by premature flattening.
    One other note. Other than for the fairly common practice of overprinting black text over colors to avoid halo effects due to registration, one should be exceptionally careful in using overprint. Trapping, the other good, justifiable use for overprint is really best performed by the RIP. Most modern RIPs provide for automatic trapping. Overprint should absolutely not be used as a “poor man's transparency,” especially in conjuction with spot colors. With the advent of real transparency in the Adobe imaging model and hence in Illustrator, InDesign, and PDF, there is no good reason to use overprint hacks anymore to simulate transparency.

  • Color to export a pdf from Indesign

    Hi
    I have some images that doesn't have any color profile. When I proof those images printing directly from my computer those have a great quality. Now, i have my indesign color settings to turn off the color management in order to conserve the original characteristics of the image. But, when I export a pdf to print the proff is not what i expected, the colors of the same image are very diferent of the first proof.

    Thank you Peter. Someone else must have been on my computer because I do not change the settings. You pointed me in the right direction.
    Thanks again.

  • Format Type Does Not Appear.  Can Only Export to PDF from InDesign.

    When I export a document from InDesign, I am unable to choose any other format besides PDF.  It does not give me the option to select a format type.

    I don't think that's what he means. Think IDML or Jpeg...

  • Anyone know how to export a PDF from InDesign so it is "click to go to next page" instead of "scroll to go to next page"?

    Anyone know how to export a PDF from InDesign so it is "click to go to next page" instead of "scroll to go to next page"?

    I don't use the latest InDesign, but in the past ID's options for exporting to PDF did not allow setting how a PDF should be viewed once exported.  However, these settings can be adjusted in Acrobat through Preferences: check out Page Layout and Zoom under Page Display.

  • When I export a photo from lightroom, the image is very pixelated.

    When I export a photo from lightroom, the image is very pixelated. This pixelization occurs irrespective of whether I make adjustments in Lightroom.  It seems that just placeing the photo into he develope modual  without doing anything to it taints the image in such a manner that when it is exported from the develope modual the expot comes out pixelated.

    Brett,
    The photo i was a panorama knitted in Photoshop from four photos which were approx 3.3 MB each. The knitted pic came out to be 1.10MB. The panorama pic I was trying to refine in Lightroom and export came out to be 70.9 KB and extremly pixilated. Whether I altered it  in Lightroom  or not didn't matter.
    I can't imagine that bringing up the photo in the Develop modual would result in pixilization when it was exported regardless of whether it was altered or not altered.!!
    Attached is  a copy of the Photoshop saved and Lightroom exported photos before and after. I appreciate your help and interest. The top pic 1.10MB is what was saved on Photoshop. The bottom pic 70.9KB is the unaltered pic exported out of the Develop modual exhiiting the pixelization.

    What is your operating system?
    Can you open that PDF with a text editor and check that the first four characters are '%PDF'.

  • Is there a way to automatically set the file name in Acrobat Properties when exporting a PDF from Indesign?

    When I used Quark to make a PDF, the title area in the PDF was automatically populated with the file name, there in the properties tab. We like use this area to confirm file names of original files, so we can keep track of drafts, (in case the file name of the PDF is changed, which our boss often does). Is there any way to set up InDesign to do the same?

    @stadlock – I think I know what you mean…
    You exported to PDF and changed the file name in the export dialog to a different one from the document name presented there the first time you exported that document. And in exports after that the new name will be presented in the dialog instead of the name of the document.
    What you can do against that?
    1. First time you want to export: Save before the document is exported. And do not save after it's exported with a new file name.
    2. After the new file name is already there in the export dialog:
    Type in the document name in the dialog. Export. Or abort after chosing a export preference. Save. Check again, if the document's file name is in the export dialog. If yes, procede like in suggestion #1. If not do a full export with the document's file name, save and then procede with suggestion #1.

  • Acrobat (10.1.3) crashes when exporting a pdf from InDesign (7.5.2)

    So every once and a while I export a file to pdf from InDesign and Acrobat crashes.  Sometimes it doesn't crash until I reduce file size.  It always happens when it is actually saving the file.  Usually I am overwriting a file with a newer version but not always and either way I get a crash.  I copied my crash report below.  Please help.  This reduces my productivity greatly.
    http://pastebin.com/DNpKCNXA

    I'm going to leave this open here in case anyone has some ideas, but since this is an Acrobat crash (it looks like it might have something to do with security), you should cross post in the Acrobat forum.

  • Is there a page size limit when exporting a pdf from InDesign?

    My indd file is 201x40 inches with a 1.5 inch slug. When I export to pdf I get this message, "The document page size exceeds the page size range supported in PDF files. Exported pages will be resized to fit within PDF limits."

    Although the PDF spec mentions that it's feasible to create a PDF as large as 15,000,000 inches in either direction, 200 x 200 inches is Distiller’s limit for PostScript. It’s based on the Windows printer driver limitation.
    If I read the quote below correctly, the maximum page size is 15 million inches (381 km).
    "This is from the PDF Reference 1.6:
    177. In PDF versions earlier than PDF 1.6, the size of the default user space unit is fixed at 172 inch. In Acrobat viewers earlier than version 4.0, the minimum allowed page size is 72 by 72 units in default user space (1 by 1 inch); the maximum is 3240 by 3240 units (45 by 45 inches). In Acrobat versions 5.0 and later, the minimum allowed page size is 3 by 3 units (approximately 0.04 by 0.04 inch); the maximum is 14,400 by 14,400 units (200 by 200 inches).
    Beginning with PDF 1.6, the size of the default user space unit may be set with the UserUnit entry of the page dictionary. Acrobat 7.0 supports a maximum UserUnit value of 75,000, which gives a maximum page dimension of 15,000,000 inches (14,400 * 75,000 * 172). The minimum UserUnit value is 1.0 (the default)."

  • Too long export to PDF from Indesign CS6

    When I exporting PDF from InDesign CS6 takes too long. For example, a few minutes (5minutes). In InDesign CS3, which I used earlier, the file is exported immediately (few seconds). It is a problem in setting or higher hardware requirements?
    I use laptop 2GB dual processor, 8GB RAM, Windows Vista 32 bit. You have a similar experience?

    It is strange that CS6 supports Windows XP and Windows7 and Vista does not support. I use 8GB RAM because I bought a laptop so. There for me any solution, how to enable CS6 InDesign with the 32 bit system Windows Vista?
