Data merge problem - bad values when exporting PDF with "All folders" only
Hi - I have the weirdest problem with InDesign: I use merge data from .csv to create a deck of cards (9 per page), and when I export to PDF from the data merge Panel, one of my field has erroneous data: it uses values from previous records and which repeat.
What is strange, is that when the noticed, all right. Is also very good if I create a merged Document and PDF export. Is also very good if I export to PDF using just the range of entries it is play: I don't get that wrong data if export as PDF, "All records" in the data merge Panel. Very frustrating!
Someone saw? I feel that my data is ok, if the export of individual records is very well...
Cheers for any help.
Thank you! Which has me on the path to what looks like a fix...
Copy all the fields in a new file does not solve the problem - the same behavior, but after the start of charges, I started to adjust the sizes of the fields and stumbled upon a possible solution.
A field that trouble is a text box for a single digit, if limits are quite small. The name of the field for example placeholder.
How weird. Thanks Peter.

I have Win 7. I'm faced with a problem that is when I'm with system after that somw time system stops unexpectedly. What can I do?
If the system stops just without error message, the most likely cause is a CPU overheating. Thermal sensor of the card from the mother to the title of the CPU stops the system to protect the CPU.
Check that the CPU fan is running and remove any fan of mast betwenn the CPU of dust and the fins of the cooler.

problem with the quality of the photo when exporting pdf interactive
Hi guys!
I made a simple pdf with before/after samples with superimposed photo retouching, changing the mouseover.
When I export it as a pdf interactive (on jpeg without loss of quality), the quality of the photo on the final pdf looks like a JPEG on 40% quality, really bad. Œuvres turnaround.
When I export to PDF for printing high quality - the quality of the photo in the final PDF is impeccable but rollovers do not work... (I checked "Interactive elements: include the appearance") but still nothing...
Pleeease help cause I can't find a way. I just need the renewal work and have pictures in the highest quality possible.
Thank you

Text missing when exporting pdf to word doc
I'm trying to export a pdf file to word in Acrobat DC, but despite all my efforts on 2/3 of the text disappears. The headers appear, but the text body is unrecognizable because of so many missing characters. I tried to print the PDF to the PDF printer, but no dice. I'm also pretty sure that I have the font that was used in the document already downloaded - does anyone else have this problem?
PDF to Word, Excel or any other format conversion is one of the most complex things, you can try to do it with a PDF file. It works very well in some cases, in other cases, the output doesn't have much to do with the original file. The key to success is that the PDF file must be "marked" - which means that it contains information about the information displayed in the file. The best way to ensure that a PDF file is properly tagged is using the PDFMaker in Acrobat to create PDF from Word or Excel file (this is the Acrobat Ribbon or toolbar).
Unfortunately it is not that you can do to improve the output without spending a lot of time (for example manually tracking file). In addition, if you use Adobe ExportPDF service and do not have access to Acrobat, it is even not an option.
In most cases, the only thing you can do is complain to the original author of the file and tell them that they used a PDF generator bad to create the PDF file.
Sometimes you get better results when you export the entire file for the individual (e.g. 600 dpi) TIFF images, and then re-import these TIFF images in PDF format and finally run OCR and export to Word.

Overview of the issues when exporting pdf from InDesign
Hello
I'm working on PC, Windows 7, InDesign of CS5. I had several problems with executives of color filled not appearing is not in the preview of an exported pdf file, different file, same problem. The files 'prints' very well. For example, I have a page that contains a logo, two lines of text in the Arial font, two photo .jpg (CMYK) and a background color solid process. When I export to PDF (I tried all the options available to me) the colorful background does not appear in the preview. I can send this file to the printer and it prints exactly as set upward in InDesign. I also systematically deleted each item separately and re-exported the same results each time. I even deleted everything on the page with just the colorful box. Same result. I did drag the elements on a page in a new document. Same result.
Thoughts? Does anyone else know this? I looked for further discussions on this topic, but couldn't find one just like her.
Thank you!

Blow of dagger in the dark here...
Check your Acrobat preferences under the Page display and do not forget the large images are enabled, and under accessibility and make replace safe colors is not.

InDesign crash when exporting PDF
I'm trying to export a PDF of high quality for my editor. It is an Indesign book with 14 chapters. I exported it several times before for the preview. It always crashes on the same page; every time. I tried to change the illustrations on this page of AI to PDF. Same thing.
More funny is that when I export the chapter separately, it works very well. What else could be that originally is this book to stop smoking to be exported on the same page every time?
If you are able to export into pieces (as in chapter only exports), but not all together, it is more likely is a problem of system resources. It sometimes works to close ID and reopen, then perform export as the first operation. You can also combine PDF files into one file using Acrobat.

Fontissue when exporting PDF CS5
Comment by thread bound and advised to start the new band of rolling.

When exporting in format PDF of CS5 ID I saw do move and disappear.
Did tests since my post on linked tread and discover, with PDF / X_1a:2001 (PDF version 1.3), it works fine. But when I use PDF version 1.4 and above fonts randomly disappears. See first photo below.
OK, for me it's just going to print, but with 1.3 we lose the link hyperlink and bookmarks if used in other media.
Have seen policies to move when exporting to PDF, (second photo), and in this case, there is no way of doing things with the options mentioned above. Only way is he right was to outline the police... and PS - Distiller has worked as well.
I've found my workaround, but I would really trust the export as a PDF in the future is the way Adobe advice we used.
Workaround solution 1. Use PDF 1.3 version
Solution 2.
(The application folder), Adobe Indesign CS5 - Presets
Create a new folder - PPDs
Put (ADPDF8. PPD or ADPDF9. PPD) in this folder. (I had a backup of these files, can not find them online...!)
Allows to print PS of InDesign and use Distiller.
Mac - 10.6.X - ID int. English
OK, I have reproduced the two issues and connected bug reports for them to be the subject of an investigation. I don't think that they are associated with other issues that have been discussed on the previous thread. They are two specific fonts, change the text to use another font makes problems disappear. So there is a chance that the fonts have some problems that make them sensitive to the problems. Debugging the development team should tell us more. Thanks for your help with this.

I have successfully used the merging of data for
throw or placed tmy text - placeholders on the master page, then geretated pages. Now, do report anotehr, I wanted to use
the old man a tempalte and just change that data - no matter WHA tI - I get the error
"Tehre is at least a placeholder data which may not be foudnin the data source. "Make sure that any placeholders correspond ot the fields in the data source.
Which is not true - because the dat merger panel shows all the field names in the CSV file - and I get this error as soon as I place a single field - on the master - check the preview area and the error message coems. I tried placoing on the page of document but no difference.
My solution was ot find a last tiem form Gall who did not have the dat a fusion inside and to use - however - I ran out of old files with no dat a merger. It almost seems as if once that you do a fusion of data in the file, even if not saved, it somehow it keeps and dwells on.
I have treid registering as an inx and do in CS3 - but got the same error.
I went on all loose on the page, one by one - using the story editor to see if there was soemthing bad in the file - found nothing
Here is a link ot the file and the data source
http://www.fcrpups.com/test/datamergeproblem.html
any help is greatly appreciated - I'm stumped
Ann
Sorry, you're right... it's a variable.
As near as I can tell, the document is damaged, but it seems that if it can be saved. Make a new A4 doc and rename A template z then it won't replace your master when you bring.
Now put the two visible documents at the same time and select all of the master pages in the original and drag them from the Pages panel and drop them on the new RFSO. Select document pages, then do the same thing, adding them after page 1. Page 1 to remove and reset the numbering.

Range of artboard crop when exporting PDF...
I know the 'artBoardClipping' keyword when exporting to JPEG, GIF format,...
But there is no when the PDF export.
1. open the file have
2 export to PDF
3. export success
4. open the PDF file. ("hmm. crop success? ")
5. open the PDF file in Illustrator cs3 ("OMG. ("red and yellow rectangle ALIVE")
I want to remove the red and yellow rectangles.
my source code is below.
function saveFileToPDF (dest) { var doc = app.activeDocument; if ( app.documents.length > 0 ) { var saveName = new File ( dest ); saveOpts = new PDFSaveOptions(); saveOpts.compatibility = PDFCompatibility.ACROBAT5; saveOpts.generateThumbnails = true; saveOpts.preserveEditability = true; doc.saveAs( saveName, saveOpts ); } }
You can remove what is outside the artboard by setting the property of preserveEditability fake... .but of course, you will not be able to change it after you save it in pdf format... save the file have original front of Save as pdf.

text with antialiasing when exporting PDF to image
My solution for you would be to generate files TIFF 5.7 MB at 1200 dpi and then batch process in Photoshop using Image size > changed 1200 at 300 dpi and use the bicubic resampling Sharper (better discount) as an option checked. You will have files of anti-aliasing. Try this step and let me know if you are satisfied with the result.

can "print image" be defined as the default value when printing PDF files?
We have many students to connect and when they print PDF to our Lexmark printers it works best for "print image" otherwise printers get bogged down and hang sometimes. We would like to see if we can have 'print picture' it set as the default when printing PDF files?
Hi desktopsuofslib,
There no option in Acrobat to define 'print as image' as option by default because as soon as we opt for this option, the profile of settings is automatically replaced custom Acrobat default.
However, I have noticed that when you use the option 'print picture' for a specific printer and print a document, that this option remains active for subsequent printings, unless you change it manually.
Kind regards

CC Moving Photoshop layers when exporting PNG with transparent background
Hey, if someone could help that would be great.
I make videos and use photoshop to create subtitles/text using the type tool, transparent background and then superimpose the image file into iMovie.
However, sometimes photoshop decides to move the text, even if I do not have when exporting, only seems to happen if the background is transparent.
For example. These two images and if you switch between them quickly enough to create a moving image.
I think you'll find that the border of the images are not the same, because of the background is transparent. You can check by looking at the dimensions in pixels for both images. They should be the same.
