CS6 hangs on the big PDF export inDesign...

I have my company's catalogue by InDesign.  We did it the same way for years.  I had this file for the last 3 years and have never had a problem to export the complete catalogue in PDF format.  I can say is no longer that.

When I try to export the sections, I can and have no problem at all.  When I try to export the complete catalog, it blocks the program.  Sometimes I get a notification that a background process has failed, but above all it breaks down just the whole program.

Here is the report generated by Mac OS X: http://pastebin.com/tKfEmjyb

Computer: 27 "mid 2011 iMac 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, AMD Radeon HD 6970 M, Mac OS X 10.8.2

InDesign: Version 8.0.1 (most up to date through creative cloud)

If more information is needed, let me know.

Any help would be appreciated!  Thank you...

I can post the entire file packaged by download if someone wants to watch.  It is big enough, as we have many pieces of dimensions across which are managed by PDF from SolidWorks.  The InDesign file is 204 MB itself.

You can view the history of the files on the Mac by holding down the Cmd key when you select about InDesign InDesign menu when a file is opened. Very useful.

As far as what to do now, as I said, I had much luck with tagged text export which will be faster than the copy/paste, if you can get it to export. Try to avoid the urge to scroll when the export of each story.

You export text marked by placing the cursor in a story, but do not select anything (which will export the whole, even if story threaded through many pages), or by making a selection with the cursor, in which case you get only the selected text. You will be asked if you want verbose or format short, and in my experience, it is immaterial.

  • How can I get the smallest pdf from InDesign CS4, but keep some sharpness?

    I have a brochure of 2 pages, front and back with layered photoshop files, and when I do the small pdf, I need to make a file of 100kb as a customer has done in the past. The smallest, I can do the PDF is 460kb.  He'll be no smaller, no matter what I do. Of course I can enter final resolution as 72 dpi, but photos are very blurred. I have even reduced the size of the files of the photos and replaced in the document. The size of the file remains the same.  My client said that reduced Illustrator for him plus size small in the past but I don't think it's the solution.  How can I you keep some sharpness in a pdf file but keep the size of the file to a bare minimum?

    But InDesign CS4 out the file no matter what happens to 460 k for me.

    Still don't know why they got 100 KB.

    By not using not InDesign. Scott is on the right track by mentioning Distiller - what makes PDF files which is smaller than InDesign can export. Illustrator can be used (bad *) in the same way. Both methods can remove stuff that you don't need if you don't care the print quality don't care about reliable display on multiple platforms, don't care exactly how your fonts are included, don't care about the trial that blind people using screen readers will sue you and so on. I don't know what above is not in your customer file 100 k, or that things in my list above will be eliminated out using Distiller or Illustrator, but I bet that one of the people that has already been posted in your thread is known and can be talked about telling us.

    But, if you try to make your customers happy and are not actually personally invested to make the smaller PDF files known to man, and if you are located in the United States, then maybe the phrases "blind screen... readers accessibility... trial" spoken together could encourage your client to rethink this arbitrary will of tiny size of PDF files.

    Alternatively, you can just save postscript on the two PDF files and just watch the .ps files in your favorite plain text viewer.

    Slideshow problems have been resolved by opening in Photoshop and saving. I think it had something to do with stripping to junk in the jpg file. I wasn't sure where you their reduced.

    Yes, reminder, new names always. I create a new slidesho import slides with new names.

    Access denied points to permissions. I would try the option "Run as Administrator"; corrects a variety of weird things. You know how many times Win7 said you (even if you are a user with administrative privileges) that you do not have access and click on continue if you want to grant this permission to yourself... I think still waiting for no man, woman, or operating system.

  • InDesign | Mystery / unwanted make appearing in interactive PDF export function

    I'm working on a project for a client who is a big PDF interactive with navigation, built in InDesign.

    On a recent version, exported a PDF file on the opening to say "this document has form data must be met" even if we have built no form function in the document of the DLI. When I click on "highlight fields" in the PDF file, and the analysis of all pages, nothing no is highlighted.

    Anyone know what is happening and how I might be able to track down and fix the problem?

    Thank you very much

    Scott

    For those who arrive here with a similar problem, the solution is to export the interactive PDF from InDesign with password security to restrict all changes on the exported PDF file. This will remove the message "forms" to appear at the opening of the PDF file.

  • Change of color in the PDF export and brochure printing

    InDesign CS5 Windows 7 64 bit

    I need to provide a client with both a composite PDF of a manual to use on their website and a PDF of a composite booklet even content to go to print (managed by their printers separations).

    The document is strictly two colors: black and pure Cyan - no other colors involved. Only imports are EPS of CorelDraw format diagrams which also use that same two simple colours.

    When I export to PDF, no problem: Blacks are 100% black, cyans are 100% cyan. When I export this manual, Blacks are still very well but the cyans becomes C:69%, M:14%. 100% Cyan color applied in CorelDraw and applied in InDesign itself all come out them with the same results.

    I tried to change a lot of output and management settings of colors in the print booklet application but still get the same result despite the use of the same what is CMYK color profile used for the right PDF export.

    There are no complications of PhotoShop imports or conversions from RGB image, so I can't understand what is going wrong here.

    Any thoughts?

    I would check the default settings for the PDF printer. Looks like a profile mismatch.

    Adobe strongly recommends use of PDF/X-4, which retains direct management transparency and color all the way to the INVESTIGATION period.

    PDF/X-1a is indeed antiquated for any content that uses anything other than CMYK + spot color or transparency.

    All modern PDF workflow software supports PDF/X-4. If you are printing to a PostScript RIP, Acrobat Pro (version X and XI) can print PDF/X-4 of tears (or printers) pretty well.

  • InDesign CS6 just started breaking when you export to PDF - help?

    I just got Indesign CS6 a few weeks ago and I use it on a new macbook pro. I had exported in pdf format a few times without any problem. Today, I tried the same thing and Indesign began to quit smoking without apparent reason. I tried to restart my computer. Any suggestions?

    It could be a damaged object (image, PDF, etc.) in the InDesign file. Try an old technique: export 1-6 out as PDF pages and see if it crashes. If it's OK, export pages 7-12, and it crashes. Now, you know, the problem is in pages 7-12. Export pages 7 to 9, then see if broken, etc. until you find the page where the problem is. On this page, begin to remove objects and see what object it is.

  • Export Indesign PDFs too big size

    Hello forums!

    I got stuck on a new problem. I work in Indesign, when I export to PDF, the pdf export files size is too large. I tried downsample when exporting to PDF, but does not reduce the size (even I choose pdf size smaller, but no luck). I have 33 images links in Indesign.

    Please help me how to do this... I know how to do with downsample, reduce the size in Acrobat, but this option doesn't help me at all.

    Hoping for your good advice...

    Thanking you in advance

    It sounds like you're using pictures eps links in Indesign. If so try to change to a different format as .png, .jpg, etc... and update the extension of links in Indesign PNG or jpg (to do this in Indesign, you must select all the images in criminal link and choose Relink file extension) and export your file and see what happens.

    Thank you

  • Lo-res images appear in the exported PDF from Indesign files - anyone else having this problem?

    I used Indesign for years without this problem...

    But I noticed recently that many of these images (PSD, TIFF, or JPEG) that I placed in Indesign files are exported as pixelated, versions low resolution when I export for printing (PDF/X-1).

    I tried different settings, but in each case, the image (which appears thin and sharp as seen in Indesign) came out like a pixelated mess blurred.

    This seems to have started happening in the past months.

    Vector graphics are fine.

    Anyone else having this problem?

    Or someone at - it a solution?

    Also use some PDF parameters where resolution is not sous-echantillonnees at all.

    Turn off downsampling.

    And I would like to test, when you export to PDF/X-4 would make to the resolution of the images.

    Just to know, if something is fundamentally wrong with your PDF export feature perhaps.

  • Export interactive PDF in indesign, with the animation of the edge to the SWF file?

    Hello

    I have an interactive pdf in indesign with animation, works very well when they are exported to the swf file.

    I need to use more complex animations that Indesign has, so I created some new features of Adobe Edge animate, exported save them as a file .oam and then put them in the Indesign file.

    If I use the Preview on the animation tab I see indesign animations and the edge, but if I export it to a SWF file is - this only animation to indesign working, and if I export to epub file is only the edge animation work.

    Somehow it is possible to export so that the two works of animation types. and it is possible to do it in a SWF file.

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

    I do not use the InDesign last, but in the past ID options for export to the format PDF did not define how a PDF should be considered once exported.  However, these settings can be adjusted in Acrobat via preferences: departure of layout and Zoom in the view of the Page.
