Why does object sequence change once exported to PDF?

I have a two-page spread that shows exactly how I want it to in Preview. But once I export to PDF the sequence of the objects has changed (blocking an object that needs to be on top). I can see the object when the pdf is opened, but just for a second. I don't know if this is an InDesign problem or an Acrobat problem. I'm using CS4 and exporting to Acrobat 8.
In the file "Step" and "Out" should be on top. "Step" gets covered up, but "Out" does not.

This is the cross-spine bug. You have four choices:
1) Take this back to CS3.
2) Reconstruct things on your master spread so that text boxes don't cross the spine.
3) Move the problematic cross-spine elements off the master onto a live page.
4) Wait for a patch. A number of people have been bit by this, but the only reports I've seen have been quite recent, all in the last few months.

Why does text color change when exporting to PDF?

I have a white background. In a textbox, I have black text and white text. When I export to a PDF, the black text stays black but the white text changes to black. Any idea why that happens?
I have a similar situation with shapes. I have a black circle and a textbox on top of it. There is white text in the textbox. When I export, the white text here also changes to black. So you can't see it in the PDF (becuase of the black circle).

I do not get the problem.
All text stays the correct color. Black is black and white is white in the pdf.
Are you opening this on a Mac in Preview, or are you opening it in Adobe Acrobat?
I have opened my .pdf (it would have helped if you had posted your problem pdf) in Acrobat on a Mac and that also has opened correctly.
I tried both exporting and printing to .pdf both work in Preview and in Acrobat.
Are you doing something else you have not told us about?

Why does InDesign CS4 crash when exporting to PDF?

I have a 72 page document and when I export to PDF, it gets to the end and crashes. I can export to pdf in 10 page chunks successfully, but with 30 or more pages it crashes. Could it be temporary file or memory problem. Appreciate any help as I am new to InDesign and need to get this document to print soon.

This may be of no help to KodiKodi, but it may be of assistance to someone else trying to export large files to PDF.
I was attempting to export a large CS4 document (800 pages, 200 MB) on a G5 iMac (2.5 GB RAM), to a 3GB single-page PDF file. The export worked in one go.
Then, for a particular reason, I placed the entire PDF back into a new InDesign document which turned into a 800-page, 400 MB file, double the original size even though it was really the same file but in a different format. I exported that single-page InDesign file to PDF using the spread format, but it wouldn't export in one pass. Wouldn't do it two passes either. I noticed as the export progressed it got slower and slower. The export started at the rate of about 1 page every two seconds, but by about the 400 page mark was down to 1 page every 10 seconds or longer, but would never come to anything.
So, I tried exporting as 100 page chunks (2-99, 100-199 ...). Took about 2 minutes for the first 100 pages, but I noticed the export rate was slowing down. The second hundred pages took significantly longer than 2 minutes. I found I could get back the export speed if I closed the file after the first hundred, and reopened it (even though it was 400 MB, it would open in a few seconds), and then export the second hundred pages; and so on all through the file.
For some reason, closing the InDesign file must reset memory allocation or something like that, with the result that exporting to PDF retains it's normal speed.

Why does all alphabets change to capital when converting pdf to word using Adobe Acrobat XI

Why does all alphabets change to capital when converting pdf to word using Adobe Acrobat XI

Word 2013 uses its own pdf creator engine as far as I know. The step I performed were:
1 - In the save settings I told word to embed fonts (sorry for the language, I have the Italian client)
2 - Export from Word -> Save As -> .pdf adding also the table of contents/index
N.B. I cannot use PDF/A, and in any case it doesn't embed the font
A working solution is to use Acrobat XI to convert it or print with Adobe PDF printer, results:
The problems are 2:
1 - It doesn't create any bookmark and doesn't create links from the table of images to the linked images
2 - Images, also with the preset "High Quality Printing" customized using "No compression", are really ugly and if you zoom a bit more than 100% they totally be s**t. It wasn't that way with PDF created by word.
In the end, or I find they way to open the pdf created by word and embedd the missing font, or I find a way to make Acrobat XI creating bookmarks from the word file.
Suggestion?

Why does iCal automatically change the date of the entry i am making to the day before??

why does iCal automatically change the date of the entry i am making to the day before??
for example, when i am attempting to make a 'all-day' appointment on october 2nd 2011, it automatically shifts it to october 1st.
but if i am doing a timed appointment for only a few hours, it will allow me to put it on that day.
i am trying to put in travel dates so any help on how to fix this, would be greatly appreciated.

alsdman,
Quit iCal, and try removing the com.apple.iCal.plist file from your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Since that Library is now hidden, you have to use the Finder>Go Menu>Depress the "Option" key>Library. Drag the .plist file to your desktop, and log out/in or restart and check iCal for functionality.
Also go to System Preferences...>Language & Text>Formats>Region: and set/re-set the appropriate "Region."

Please help.

If that's the only place you used that unique font, yes. Convert the textbox to an image file by applying a drop shadow to the font and setting the opacity of the drop shadow to 5%.

It's a nuisance when other users cannot open the file, any ideas?

Why does OS X change the permissions without my intervention?

I work on various documents at home, where I have a Mac. and at work where I have a Windows box. In order to do this, I use Google Drive as my cloud storage to save the documents.
Now when I edit a Word doc in MS Word at Work, then save it to the Google Drive, I am able to open it on my Mac in MS Word for Mac, just fine.
However, when I edit the Word doc on my Mac, and save it to Google Drive, the sytem automatically sets the "everyone" permission to "no access". This is incredbily annoying. I have to go and reset the permission everytime to "Read and Write" in order to edit it the next day at work on my Windows bos.
Why does OS X change the permission of the document when I don't want it to! I want the file to ALWAYS be read and write FOR everyone PERIOD. Yet it seems to have a mind of its own and changes it.
How can this be fixed... this doesn't even make sense!

korkyk --
Could it be that it is a function of Google Drive? I share Word docs with Mac & PC Users all the time with no permissions errors or any other problems. My husband and I share docs all the time between PC and Mac. Again no problem. But we do not put Google Drive in the middle.

Why does Itunes automatically change the genre of my songs?

Why does Itunes automatically change the genre of my songs? I have assigned specifit genres but they're constantly changed without me doing it. ITs annoying. Does anyone know how i can stop this?

welcome to the discussions
you may find that WMP is doing this for you.
There is a setting is WMP that means that it checks the info held in the file (and shown by itunes) against that held at Gracenote and 'updates' the info where there is any disagreement. On my copy its under the 'media library' tab.
Turn this off if its on.

Why does the name change to my dad's name when I use his credit card for downloads?

I have an iPod touch. I have my own apple ID and icloud account. Why does the name change to my dad's name when I use his credit card for downloads? Is there a way I can have my own account and use my dad's card without having his name on my photostream and icloud?
I went on icloud.com and changed my name but it changes the credit card name to mine as well so I can't get apps unless its under his name, but it confuses everyone i share photo streams with, as there are two of my dads?
My aunt is having the same problem with her photostream, so I know its not only me.

I have this problem and it's annoying. Plenty of people in this world do not pay for their own stuff!. So i have 5 kids. All there accounts show as my name when people add them for Photo streams etc etc. This is ridiculous. Why not seperate billing address / credit card details to the name of the person on the account? Why do they have to be the same?
