Why can I not select the transparency flattener preset option when exporting to a pdf?

Hi all,
I have not had to use this option in quite a while so may have forgotten a few things.
In InDesign, under Edit>Transparency Flattener Presets, I have created a new preset and included the option of converting all text to outlines.
However, when I try to export to a PDF, the option to select a transparency flattener preset is greyed out.
Can you tell me what I may be doing wrong? This is driving me crazy!:(
(There was originally no transparency in the file, so I created some with a white square set to 0.5% opacity).
Thanks in advance for your help!
Best regards,
Christine

DesignerDave72,
Thank you SO MUCH!!
I have been battling with this for over an hour...and it was frustrating me no end. 1 minute into reading the article you suggested and I was home free!! THANK YOU...!! You're my hero!
Best regards,
Christine

  • Why can I not see the entire MS word file when saved as a PDF?

    I saved a MS word template as a PDF and only part of the document is visible.  The MS Word doc was erased, so I need to be able to see the remainder of the document.

    By "part of the document" do you mean just certain pages or are pages cut off or...?
    If pages are missing, that is probably what was chosen when it was printed to the pdf (or they were removed somewhere down the line). Again, the lost information would not be in the pdf file.

  • Why can I not disable the guest user in the 10.8.2 update? I have never enabled the guest user, but after the update, it was automatically enabled with a "managed" tag. It is not selectable even after entering my admin password to unlock the options.

    Why can I not disable the guest user in the 10.8.2 update? I have never enabled the guest user, but after the update, it was automatically enabled with a "managed" tag. It is not selectable even after entering my admin password to unlock the options. I was able to select the account under "parental controls", but again, could not delete it. Why Apple? Why?!!????

    SOLVED Ok. I actually was able to disable it. I had to actually log in as the guest user to make it accessible in the preference window. Then I disabled it and logged out. Apologies if this was obvious for some people, but I have had some sort of issue with something every update since Snow Leopard.

  • Why can I not check the 'shuffle images' box in a slide show settings in iPhoto 9.6?

    Why can I not check the 'Shuffle images' box in settings of a slide show in iPhoto 9.6? All other settings I can check but this one.

    Hey Brad,
    If you are unable to select the shuffle images checkbox, follow the steps in this article -
    iPhoto '11: Change slideshow settings
    Specifically -
    To display slides in random order, select “Shuffle slide order.” If you don’t see this option, play the slideshow, move the pointer to make the slideshow controls appear, and then click the Settings button.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Be well,

  • Why can I not select SD versions of SD programs I purchased?

    Why can I not select SD versions of SD TV programs I purchased? When I go to my program to download it. I click the SD button, that is what I paid for. It will not move over to the SD version to allow me to download it even though I have received notification that I have a new program waiting.

    I found my own solution. While in the Itunes store I did a search for the program by name of the current season. It brought up a list of the current season and it showed that I had an undownloaded episode of the program. I hit the download ad it completed the SD download.

  • Why is select calendar and address book greyed out? Why can we not select these options?

    Why can we not select address books or calendars? Why is this option greyed out in ITunes 12?

    You have to make the selection active.
    Go to Select>all, then Select>modify>border.
    Another way is to use a stroke:
    Open your picture file
    Go to Select>all
    Open a blank layer above this
    Go to Edit>stroke(outline) selection. In the  dialog, enter the width of the stroke, choose color, place it inside, ok it.
    If you don't like the border, delete the layer with the stroke, and adjust to suit, then do it over starting with step #3

    why can I not access the Mac App store? I cannot enter the Mac App Store; for updates to featured Apps?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).

  • Why can I not hear the person I am video chatting with?  They can hear me.

    Why can I not hear the person I am video chatting with?  They can hear me...

    Hi,
    There can be several reasons.
    1) They have their Mic Off.
    In iChat > Video Menu the Microphone Enabled (or Audio Chat Enabled in Lion) needs to be ticked.
    2) the System Preferences > Sound > Input tab Volume is not high enough ?
    Slide it to the right (their end)
    2a) the Mic selected here is not the one select in iChat > Preferences > Video section > Microphone drop down.
    3) there is an issue with the speed differences in the internet services you both have.
    If they are fast and sending lots of data and your end cannot buffer fast enough frame get dropped to smooth out video.  There comes a point when the audio can no longer keep in sync and is dropped as well.
    In iChat menu > Preferences > Video section > Bandwidth Limit set 500kbps at both ends
    This also smooths out ISP variances.
    4) after that it tends to be combos of things such as Processors involved, the Speed of those Processors and the speed or bandwidth available to the computers involved.
