Book export as pdf... facing pages

I created 19 individual inDesign files (chapters in a book). They are set up in front of the pages. If I create a book with all the 19 chapters... then export as PDF... the first page and last page of each chapter is an individual page in the PDF file. I selected spreads in the export PDF dialog box. For some reason, he's not combining the first and last pages of each chapter as a spread. Any ideas as to what I have to do to get the PDF to look like a book with verse pages overall?

I found the answer here: http://indesignsecrets.com/make-it-look-like-a-book-in-the-acrobat-pdf.php

I understand one of the application of the service book in inDesign is to keep your large projects (several pages) in a number of smaller files and then combine them using the feature of the book to help with numbering and layout. What I don't understand, is that there's no easy way in inDesign to combine all of these individual files in a PDF to show the client what will look like the book to deal with the sight of the pages. Export to PDF does not combine the last page of a chapter and the first page of the next chapter in a face to face page spread. It makes no sense to me. This seems to be a must have the functionality in a page layout program.

  • How can I control the size of a book, exported as PDFS?

    Thanks in advance for answering the question.

    I use Adobe Lightroom 5.5 on a Mac even on Maverick. When I go to the book module in the lower right side of the screen is a big button that says export book to PDF... If I hit this button I get a save window which has no options to make a lightweight PDF and it produces a PDF of 100mg. It is a problem because I can not use this as proof that I can send and share with my client.

    How can I change this export options?

    Before using the button "Export to the book in PDF format" settings in the Panel (at the top right).

  • Dissappearing page number when exporting to PDF

    Hello!

    I encountered a problem exporting an Indesign booklet in PDF format.

    I created a basic layout, with 2 masters.

    I've included page numbers (master) and this is where the problem begins.

    Page numbers are visible on each page in indesign.

    But when I export to PDF, the page numbers on the left of the booklet pages disappear.

    The numbers on the right pages are exactly where they are supposed to be.

    I don't know where to begin the search since I was rather inexperienced in Indesign.

    Anyone? Thank you!

    Version? OPERATING SYSTEM?

    There are a few known issues with master endangered items in early versions of CS4. They must be fixed in the 6.0.4 update.

    If this isn't your problem, please post back with more details. A screenshot of the East where the number would help, too.

  • Why is that I lost the ability to export documents with facing of InDesign to PDF pages?

    It's very frustrating because I've never had this problem before in InDesign, but for some reason my document refuses to export to Adobe Acrobat with facing pages. I'm not an A3 spread, just beside pages which I can then export to Word, maintaining of the layout.

    I have tried everything that I can think of export options but nothing works... Help, please!

    On a side note, when I export PDF to Word files, I lose all the transparency settings. Is - this avoidable?

    Jamie, I also have clients who work only in Word. You save a lot of time and frustration by designing simple and good documents that can be created in Word. It is not as fun as in InDesign, but the customer is King, and you are the professional

    You're hitting your head against a brick wall because InDesign is not intended for such use.

    Rather, I complain on the other side, because it looks so limited word in the possibilities for me.

  • Hi, I use Apple Photos to create a photo book.  When I export to PDF, photos that are over 2 pages are exported as a single PDF page.  For printing purposes, I want this to export in the form of 2 separate pages.  I did it with iPhoto in

    Hi, I use Apple Photos to create a photo book.  When I export to PDF, photos that are over 2 pages are exported as a single PDF page.  For printing purposes, I want this to export in the form of 2 separate pages.  I did this with iPhoto in the past and this could be something to do with the preferences of Adobe.  I contracted Apple and their export seems thin e (or 2 separate pages). Any ideas?

    If you have not Acrobat is installed, then clearly, it's a matter of Apple having nothing to do with any "setting Adobe." There is nothing we can do at Adobe to help you. Sorry!

  • Exporting to a PDF file with facing pages

    Need help please, I have a problem with InDesign CS4, which I didn't have with the CS3 version.

    When I export an InDesign document with facing pages in PDF format, it turns it into a PDF document with consecutive pages (spreads are divided into individual pages). I want to keep the format with pages in PDF format as well.

    My document is a letter of information online that can be printed on a desktop printer. The pages are of format letter for convenience

    Now, I tried to check 'Spreads' in the dialog box Format PDF exporting and what has happened is that Acrobat resized spreads containing 2 pages format letter face to face on a page of size one letter. The cover appears and prints well, but all the "spreads" are reduced.

    What I am doing wrong?

    This is a setting you'll need to do in Acrobat.

  • Cannot export to single pages facing pages

    Hello

    I have a 60 page document + that I created to deal with pages. It is a magazine, so I had to work in spread because much graphics extend over two pages.

    My problem is that I was invited to make the final PDF file 'single page' - spreads. Each page must be hers.

    I tried to turn off the coast facing pages under the heading "Configuration document", but it did not split graphs that spans two pages (IE, I have a header that covered two pages and when I turn off 'facing pages', the header is attached to the 'left' page and space where half right of the image should be is not in the "right" page.) I understand that it is an object, but there should be a way for her to 'split').

    I can't find another way to transform the export of single pages. I either export it to PDF and get "spreads" (two pages face-to-face somehow transformed into a long page) or I lose half of my content.

    I'd appreciate any help - it's a huge head and rather sensitive time.

    (By the way, I had this problem once before, when I was more inexperienced.) I did save two versions of the file: 1 vote against and facing pages and the other with facing pages turned off. Then I copied the 'spread' from the 'facing pages' file and pasted on the page "right hand" of the non-pages file (it's the cut part of the graphcis that spans two pages). I don't know if I explained that very well. It of obviously awkward, takes a LOT of time and spatial memory (which causes my system to slow down a lot), and I found myself with a couple of headers that were a couple milimeters off.  I feel that I'm totally missing something: I think that the duty to spread fashion design and have the file finished in simple pages would be a common thing to do).

    I'm starting to see a trend where new users seem not to grasp the concept of what is a "page", and what is a gap. A page's layout unit, that you specify in the settings of the documents, if arranged as connected or not. A gap is a page or group of pages that are accessed by side (the first page of a book is laid out as a single page spread, for example, with pages double suite). Spreads are constructed from the pages and are a convenient way to work, allowing you to see that a reader will see in a finished printed publication and work in related pages in a single view, but they do not have magical powers to change the size of the page, just because you're looking at the two pages together.

    Pages in spreads remain independent pages. They can be moved to new locations without moving their companions, and when you print or export (with the exception of the interactive PDF in CS5 or later) by default, you get simple pages, no matter how they could be organized on the screen. You define documents as pages face to face time to display the "spreads" as a unit while you work and be able to create a "handedness" in the provision, i.e. pages that are distinctly to the left or right clearly, based on the number of page. This means that you can have different margins or headers and feet, or other objects as the color bars on the two halves of your broadcast, and that these things can be put on the master pages to apply automatically.

    If you start using pages face to face, your default master page is a double page that can accommodate this handedness. If later, you go to the preparation of the Document and uncheck the facing Pages to break out "spreads" you also lose the ability to use the left side of your master page and and if there is no asymmetry in your layout will be lost, and your document will be destroyed, then uncheck face pages prior to export is both unnecessary and a very bad thing to do.

    STIX said, if you export PDFS for printing, there is nothing special at all you need to do to get the unique pages. Just make sure that you did not check the box of spreads. Interactive is a little different. The box was apparently omitted design with the default state set to export pasta to spread (sometimes the engineers do not understand how we work as designers), but there are two approaches to the problem of spreads for export unique to interactive PDF pages. Script he mentions is easy and practical and changes the State of the missing box and is probably what you want, but it is also possible to "split" a spread in individual left and right spreads errors and they will export this way regardless of the State of the checkbox. "" The method is described in InDesignSecrets "Blog Archive" Pages Breaking Apart to bleed off the coast a spine

    One caveat, however, using the "spreads" split, is that objects that cross the spine are on one page or the other when you are done, not on both pages, so you must copy the and paste in Place where they are absent on the opposite side.

  • How can I export my book in Adobe PDF format without it abandoned with a message "printing error"?

    I use Adobe InDesign CC 2015 on Windows 7 and a book with several chapters, each chapter being a separate document. Several attempts to export the book to Adobe PDF failed with the following statement:

    "Printing error: Adobe Print Engine failed at the end of your data due to an unknown problem."

    When I run the command 'Package book for print', it shows that there are some fonts and missing images. However, as far as I know, I replaced all the missing fonts and I'm unable to see all missing fonts or images on the computer screen. Person documents in the book export to Adobe PDF with no problems, but the book does not print as a whole, affecting the table of contents and the page numbering (e.g. Roman in the front-end vs Hindu-Arabic in the rest of the book). I'm frustrated because InDesign doesn't tell me what the problem is. I'd appreciate any help in this regard.

    No, I wasn't trying to PRINT to PDF. I tried to export the book in PDF format in following file > export... and then click on PDF for output. That did not work. However, I just realized that I can export the book by clicking on the small arrow in the upper right corner of the menu that shows all the documents in my book (I don't know how it's called). From there on, I chose "export book to PDF...". "and voila! It worked.

  • Cover of the book layout and export to PDF

    Hi all

    I created a document page 1 with the right size for the cover of my book. The preliminary pages fits in a separate document (then body text, glossary, bib etc.) with normal 2 pages.

    Export to PDF / X - 1a: 2001 goes without a hitch.

    However when I view the document in Acrobat I get this funny page of my preliminary pages up along the side of my book cover. That does look not just for me even if I probably understand acrobat it shows only 2 consecutive pages.

    I tried to uncheck allow page / spread shuffle and delete the extra page prior to export in pdf format to see if it changes anything, but it is not.

    How can I fix this? Or it prints very well anyway?

    Should I export coverage in separate PDF format then the book itself and combine them later in acrobat?

    Any help would be appreciated. It's the HomeStretch and this beast is almost done.

  • Export to PDF out of the opening page

    Using Indesign CS 5.5 7.5.2 on a mac. I have a document in a book composed of 67 individual documents. Each document is paginated correctly. Each document starts on the right side with good white as the last document pages when necessary.

    When I export to PDF (print), each document begins on the left side. I hope that there is an easy solution for this. Help or comments appreciated.

    You probably just need to adjust the display settings in Acrobat to "show the cover page".

  • ID CS5.5 export interactive PDF as single pages, no spreads

    I read the instructions wrong? I have a 116 page book. When I export to PDF for printing, it exports correctly, showing a page at a time. When I export to interactive PDF, pages come out as single large pages, and I find myself with a book of 58 pages in landscape format. I tried all the settings. Yes, I chose 'single page' in the area of the layout (if I select 'Two up', I find myself with 4 pages on the screen).

    Advice? I don't know I'm missing something obvious. Thank you.

    What attracts almost everyone by surprise. It's actually by design, but judging by the posts here not necessarily the best design decision. There are two ways to address this via script. Active / disables the export function extends offshore for interactive PDF export (see Interactive PDF from InDesign CS5 always a extends on |) InDesignSecrets).

    Another method is to divide the "spreads" before exporting it ("see InDesignSecrets" Blog Archive"Breaking Pages Apart to bleed off the coast a thorn and http://www.printisrael.com/indesign/scripts/freeware/SeparatePages.jsx).

    Make sure you read all the comments in the two articles. If you are unsure how to install a script, see How to install scripts in InDesign | InDesignSecrets

  • Page auto numbering problem if I export to PDF

    I use IDS 5.5 with all updates. I set up a book and when I export to PDF for print, fourth chapter numbering remains the same (namelly pages 56 and 57) although I have implemented correctly master pages with the special character of AutoNumber. If I export only this chapter as a document, it exports all right. No problem with the numbers of the pages (?). In ID, the numbers look ok. I have not tried to print directly fron ID, I guess it will print ok, but it's a very strange behavior... Thanks much for any thoughts.

    It is unlikely, that there is a problem with Acrobat, try opening this chapter only and exportingit to idml, then resave as indd.

  • InDesign index - indexing a book and having links to page in PDF format

    I create an index on a book of consisting of 30 indesign documents.  When I export the book in PDF format, I want to be able to click on the index page numbers and do go to this page.  The problem is that I can't get the index of links in a PDF file to work on the document that I have the index.  If I have my index finger in the last document and create an index on the second page entry it creates fine but once exported in PDF format the link does not work.  In CS4 I created small books like this with no problems.

    Any suggestions?
