Why wont premiere CS6 export .mp4's?

why wont premiere CS6 export .mp4's? Everytime i try to export h264 mp4's the final export is an unrecognizable .m4v file.
I read about this 'bug' in a thread started over 8 months ago, and read that the 'work around' is to export with audio on. (my videos have no audio channels, so why would i want to save them and make them larger, by encoding them with audio?)
I am preparing to switch from Final Cut 7, to Premiere Pro, but i'm concerned to do so as this bug apparnetly was never fixed by adobe, almost a year later. There seems to be no way to encode an .mp4 without audio using Premiere Pro CS6 or Media Encoder CS6. Is there any kind of patch or another way to export .mp4's?
thanks.

That is exactly my point! Why should I have to export an audio channel and increase the file size to work around a known bug of the software...
We export about 100 videos a day and it will add up. These are files that will be online, and size is an issue.
I'm just not sure that we'll want to invest in software with a known bug that hasn't been addressed after months.
I was hoping that maybe there was a patch or update that I haven't found yet. Thanks all.

Why are pdf files opened automatically in iPad email. I need to save the pdf file itself.

Why are pdf files opened automatically in iPad email? I need to save the pdf file itself, so I can re-read them for later. ANy fix. Some pdf files I send are saved as pdf files unopened.

I have no idea how an iPad works.

Can't visualise text on PDF files exported from PS

PDF files exported from PS (levels included as we need them to be selectable) have corrupted text. When opening the saved pdf file, a part of text doesn't appear. It is usually starting from the second chapter of text. Any idea of how to solve this problem?

Hi Marco,
For now we have only fixed this in CC, but we are aware this problem also affects CS6 users and is a significant problem for many people. At this time, I don't know of any workaround in CS6 for this bug other than to break text up into smaller blocks or use another more text-oriented application like InDesign. While I can't comment on future releases, your feedback on this issue is important to us, and I can say, "there's always hope"...
If you'd like to discuss this further, or send us a file that exhibits the problem, please contact me directly. My email address is my last name @ adobe.com.

Why does PDF file size increase each time I "save" tagging tasks?

Why does PDF file size increase each time I "save" tagging tasks?
Given:
1) I'm running Acrobat Pro 11.0.07 (this is most current version)
2) My file size starts at 750mb and ends up 15mb when finished tagging.
3) Only certain documents experience this increase, i.e., no visible pattern of document characteristics
4) PDF's are not full of images...in fact, mostly <H1> <H2> <H3> <P> <Figure> alt text, ect.
5) Occurs with text PDF's and/or fillable forms (again, does not happen to all documents...only some)
6) File increase occurs incrementally as tagging tasks are performed; i.e., each new save increases file size a few megabytes.
7) Occurs whether I "save" or "save as"
8) Difficult to optimize these files without corruption
9) I'm running Mac OS 10.9.4 (this is most current version)

Thank you so much for responding! I've been experimenting with the SAVE AS vs. SAVE for the past few days...and you are correct. It's funny because I've been tagging files for 2 years and never noticed this. Probably b/c I use both methods depending on the tagging tasks...some are more complicated than others and should not be overwritten. In those cases I SAVE AS new file.
I love this forum...thank you again!

Why do PDF files in email open in safari with a quick time logo but only one page shows and I can't scroll through the following pages?

Why do PDF files in email open in safari with a quick time logo but only one page shows and I can't scroll through the following pages?

Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

PDF File Exports Slow in Intenet Explorer

I am exporting a PDF file for web publication. I discovered during a recent beta test that subscribers have problems opening the PDF file if using Internet Explorer, but not with other browsers.
I create the PDF file by exporting from InDesign CS6 and dropping the doc onto my website. The link shared with readers is directly to the file on the webserver. The file reportedly opens easily in IOS, Firefox and Chrome. The file is rediculously slow opening and on most occasions will not open in Internet Explorer. I find little searching for solutions on the web or Adobe site, so come here.
The file opens locally in IE without issue.
In InDesign CS6, I am using the default PDF (interactive) setting for export. Only exception is with images that are sampled at "high" quality rather than "medium." The PDF files contains both URL, page, and mail links. File size is roughly 7 meg, not a large animal these days.
I have a password on the PDF file as the intent is to make the file accessible to a subscriber list only. Running IE9, the file is quick to start opening but bogs once the password prompt appears. The load quickly slows and in most instances hangs without fully opening.
The file opens from the webserver using an iPad, Mac, or iPhone in seconds and without flaw. Same with Firefox and Chrome. Internet Explorer is the only outlier.
Should note the above is based on feedback from about 10 beta testers. The problem is reproducilble for me as well. Uncertain where to begin looking to understand this one.
I have tried separately opening and optimizing the exported file, then serving an optimized version. The file size is slightly smaller, quality is poorer and I have the same problem.
Why should IE behave differently than other browers on a PDF export file? Ideas? Suggestions?
Dave

Try flattening the pdf. See if that makes a difference.

How do I link to Anchor Text from browser to PDF file exported from InDesign?

I see that this question was asked previously but not answered:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3737541
I need a way to link to topics (from an HTML page) within a structured PDF file generated from InDesign, i.e. one that has an interactive bookmarks
panel, that doesn't break the links when the file is updated.
In particular, I don't want to refer to:
* page numbers because the document will repaginate when it is updated, breaking existing links
* named destinations that are numeric as addition/deletion of topics renumbers the named destinations, breaking the links.
Is there any option in InDesign that creates named destinations derived from bookmark titles as that would seem to solve my problem?
I have a similar need, but I have not been able to find an answer anywhere online, even after a several hours of research.
I am on contract with General Electric to develop a UI Style Guide for an international team of developers. My client wants to be able to distribute the Style Guide as a PDF document, but needs to provide links to specific topics when submitting a "Story" in an Agile development environment to the programmers.
Ideally, I would like to be able to create "named destinations" in InDesign such that I can provide the client with a list of URLs similar to this format:
file:\\StyleGuide\Test1-20131024a.pdf\#nameddest=AnchorText-01
However, I can not figure out how to create "named destinations" in the PDF file from the InDesign file in which I have created the Anchor Text in the Hyperlinks tab.
Alternately, the client would be satisfied with the ability to link to specific bookmarks in the exported PDF file that have been derived from the configuration of the Table of Contents styles, but my research has led me to believe that it is not possible to hyperlink from a browser window to a bookmark in a PDF file (only to specific page numbers, search word lists, named destinations, and comments) as described here: http://blogs.adobe.com/tcs/2011/01/tcs-specific/linking-to-a-page-within-a-pdf-and-more.ht ml
Having been using InDesign since 1988, when it was PageMaker, I would prefer to use it to provide GE with the most attractive deliverable, but they are now leaning heavily toward having me licensed with Madcap Flare, which has this capability built in:
http://webhelp.madcapsoftware.com/flare9/Default.htm#Nav_Links/Named_Destinations/Creating _Named_Destinations.htm
Please help me to find a solution that will allow me to continue using InDesign for this project.
Thank you!

Follow-up post (solution is not available):
I have just completed a phone call with Gaurev Sethi of Adobe escalated technical support in which I shared my screen to explain and demonstrate the desire to link from an external URL to a specific location within a PDF file that has been exported from InDesign. After 40 minutes, during which I was placed on hold a few times while he consulted with his team, it was determined that the desired functionality is not supported in InDesign and has been identified as a limitation of the software.
In researching alternate documentation software that supports PDF export, I discovered that Madcap Software supports this functionality in its Flare product:
http://webhelp.madcapsoftware.com/flare9/Default.htm#Nav_Links/Named_Destinations/Creating _Named_Destinations.htm
Note that linking via URL to a bookmarked location within a PDF is not supported:

More about parameters that can be specified to open PDF files are available here:

Although the above link is for a previous version of Acrobat, I could find no evidence to the contrary in the current SDK documentation.

[CC][AS] Font errrors in pdf files exported from Indesign

Hi,
With this post I would like to ask for some advice on a problem I'm having exporting Indesign files to PDF using Applescript.
I have a lot of Indesign documents, related to one particular client. All documents need to be exported to highres PDF using a preset.
When I export a file to PDF manually, the resulting PDF file is ok. No errors are displayed when opening the pdf-file in Acrobat (full and reader).
When I export the same file, with the same pdf preset, using a Applescript, the resulting PDF-file shows an error in Acrobat when it's opened.
The message "Cannot extract the embedded font '....' Some characters may not display or print correctly'.
I have this issue in Indesign CS 5.5, CS6 and CC. When trying it on a larger scale, 90% of all documents have this issue. When doing it manually, all resulting pdf-files are fine. I've double checked this with Enfocus Pitstop. All reports are fine.
The Applescript code I'm using...
tell active document
export format PDF type to myFilePath using "SheetCmyk_1v4_IND4" without showing options
end tell
... pretty basic code ... I've tried placing it in a try/catch block, but no error or exception is trown.
The font refered to in the messagebox, varies from document to document...
All fonts are present the document. No fonts are missing. I've cleared all font caches, multiple times, with no luck. All fonts are checked and are not corrupt or damaged. The Os x version i'm using is 10.8
Does anyone have any idea on how to solve this issue?
Thanx

Hi,
I've did a lot of test and changing the subset settings didn't solve anything.
I was able to create a temporarily fix for the problem. Every time a file has to be processed, I quit and relaunch Indesign. By doing so, I lose 80% performance because it takes longer to quit and relaunch the app, then to create the PDF-file. I went from a 3 second processing time, to 10 seconds, every time...
I think a cache problem could be the reason.
Does anyone know if you can clear the application cache using scripting, without quitting the Indesign app ?
Thanx
John

Hyperlinks in PDF files exported from Numbers 3.1

The new Numbers is slooowly starting to rock. The new ability to sort and rearrange ranged area is awesome.
I work with PR and we make reports to our clients. These reports are delivered in PDF files.
I have a serious problem with Numbers 3.1 and the hyperlinks included in my report - an exported PDF file. The hyperlinks seems to be randomly mixed up. If I press a certain link for a URL, the PDF might redirect me to the correct page or .. might redirect me another page from the report.
When I work in Numbers 3.1 sheet everything works just fine, all the hyperlinks are opened correctly. The problem only occours when it's exported as PDF.
My current procedure is to work in Numbers 3.1 and once a report is ready to be handed over to the client, I export it in Numbers 2.3 format and then export it as PDF - where all the hyperlinks work correctly.
But it would be sooo much more professionel and cool if everything just worked perfectly with Numbers 3.1.
- Has anyone experienced this as well?
- Does any one know if it's a bug - or if it me who's doing something silly?
Thanks for all ears.
Jakob

Hi Jakob,
BlackPlum suggets: "Thankfully, I noticed that in the Export... dialog box, (from the File Menu), you can select "Current Sheet" in the Layout field (this field defaults to "All Sheets", it's easy to miss). So select Current Sheet, and voila, you now have a pdf with multiple pages (and clickable hyperlinks!)."
Though my Export To ... PDF does not have such an option.
Hope a solution will come soon.
Numbers 3.1 with a very long table (will not fit on one page when printing) and two sheets.
B2 contains an active hyperlink.
B32 contains an active hyperlink.
Menu > File > Print >
And on the right,
Now click on Print...
Now click on PDF (bottom left)
Save as PDF
Here is the PDF opened in Preview (zoomed out to make a smaller screen shot)
Two pages .
Both of those hyperlinks are active.
Clicking on this one:
takes me to
apple.com/sitemap.
(Proof coming in my next reply. Having trouble with posting the screen shot.)

Ian.

Issue with pdf file exported out of Pages

Hi all,
I created a Pages document. I am able to export it to pdf. The pdf document looks fine. However if a user (PC or Mac, different computers) tries to copy text out of the created pdf document and paste it into another application (whatever the appli), the pasted text contains only ONE word per line. This is extremely annoying since I want to share my pdf file with people who will need to copy/paste part of my text.
I am a new convert to Pages. This was my first "real" document creation. I tried with other documents and they did not have this strange behavior. This suggests there is something specific in my pages document that creates this behaviour.
Please help,
thanks,
laurent

The pdf document looks fine.
PDF 1.x embeds the font data to be drawn in the document after stripping and subsetting the intelligent font on disk. If you want to share graphic appearance, then PDF is generally a good idea.

This is extremely annoying since I want to share my pdf file with people who will need to copy/paste part of my text.
PDF 1.x does not embed ('encode') the input of characters, PDF 1.x embeds ('encodes') glyphs from which characters are inferred if the POST table in the intelligent font has the font-independent glyph identifiers for TrueType fonts from which characters can be inferred, or, if a PostScript font is used, if correct font-independent glyph identifiers were used in the PostScript name array.
PDF 1.x also does not necessarily embed ('encode') logical content information that defines a concept of 'tables', 'columns' and more as extractable blocks of copy.
If you want to share character information and content information (logical structure), then PDF 1.x is generally not such a good idea.
Subsetting and stripping of intelligent fonts is done in a higher system level service than streaming into PS, so the suggestion that streaming into PS solves anything, though sometimes found in user fora, is not a sound one, "It (font subsetting, ed) is happening WAY BEFORE it hits PS - it is done up in Quartz and the PDF generator so the pdf->ps component is already getting subset fonts," Leonard Rosenthol in 2003, Adobe PDF Standards Architect since 2006.
