Error PDF - only then to make it compatible with Acrobat > 5

I have an InDesign document that I established

In short: export for compatibility Acrobat 4 - all right. But exporting to Acrobat 5-9, I get this error:

Details:

This book is printed in 3 sizes, I export a PDF of the doc main, then I imported that pdf in a new InDesign document and resize it

The PDF file that was exported in the main document is perfect

However, the other 2 InDesign documents are not, and which contain this perfect PDF are NOT!

When I export to any greater than 4 Acrobat version compatibility, I get the above error.

(It is caused by a graphic in the document I did)

Someone has an idea?

Thank you

David

I made a sample file for all those who want to can test and see

Here is a link to a zip file (on mega.nz) - in the ziip there is an InDesign doc with some PDFs (test files that I made)

The InDesign doc has 2 pages:

  • Page 1 is the graph of the origin of the problem.
  • Page 2 is a pdf file that is imported from page 1 (I exported page 1 and then placed in page 2

Try to open one of the 'Page 1' PDF files in Acrobat, you won't get any problems

However, open PDF "All pages", Acrobat 4 files will be just fine, all other causes error when scrolling of page 2

More info:

I use the latest version of CC InDesign and Acrobat CC Pro

10 Windows pro 64 bit

@Willi, understood, thanks for the great info here!

Now, just an update:

  1. I tried separating the pieces to the image... it turns out that part of it caused the error
  2. I made a new icon with transparency - simple words with a drop shadow - had the same result! When you export to > Acrobat 5 with the color conversion, pdf was defective
  3. Tried to place InDesign doc - it worked

So, it seems pretty clear what is the cause of this problem.

This is obviously due to the conversion of two-color on transparency, and that's why:

  1. When export us it first without conversion, the second export is very good, even with the color conversion
  2. When we place the indd instead of the PDF file, there is no error - simply because there was no color conversion
  3. When the first export is exported to compatibility with Acrobat 4, there is no problem because the transparency is flattened.

I don't know if this is the behavior expected or not, but not knowing this topic certainly made me crazy and used a lot of my time!

I hope that this analysis will be useful to others - or maybe even cause Adobe to fix something here...

Thank you

David
