Export PDF freezes InDesign CS5

I'm having a random freeze problem when you export a PDF file in InDesign. I export the file and it goes in background processing. I try to close the file and InDesign said that the background operation still works and that I can not close the file. I have check the background task window and the PDF is still of the distillation. I let it go for about 30 minutes and nothing happens. The footprint of the PDF file shows 0. InDesign won't let me stop the process in background window (or at least when I click on the 'x' nothing happens), and the only way I can get out is to force InDesign to quit smoking. When I re - open the file and try again, InDesign exports PDF without problem.

This happened with 2 different types of files in the last day. First time was a magazine page... 50 pages have been'd up queue to export files PDF and stops the whole process on a single page. After an hour or two, I had to leave the force and start over, and all exported without any problem. This most recent gel was a stand-alone file of relatively small ads. Both times there were no errors before the indicated flight.

Someone else has this problem and is there something I could do in addition to the strength to quit smoking?

Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Exporting to PDF from InDesign CS5

    Probably a real simple question to answer, but I am confused.  I'm trying to export a bulletin 6 pages in .pdf format from InDesign CS5; It comes out as a 4-page document in the following sense: the first page is fine (vertical on letter size), the 2nd and 3rd pages appear side by side (horiz. / letter) like pages 4 and 5.  Page 6 is again very well (vertical/letter).  I never had this problem with CS4...  Any suggestions?  Thanks in advance, Wharton

  • A customer told me we can open and edit PDFs inside InDesign CS5.5

    Hello

    I have a problem with a customer, she told me that she can edit PDFs with InDesign CS5.5 so far.

    I check on his computer, and now she had a mistake (in french): pdf file is not supported a module is maybe missing.

    On the web, I realized you can import pdf files, but you cannot edit them with InDesign unless you use PDF2ID a sales module.

    If she's telling me the truth? Edit is possible and his InDesign is broken, or you cannot change PDFs inside InDesign?

    Thank you for your help.

    You can place a PDF file in an InDesign document, but you cannot modify it. You can make small amounts of editing PDF documents in Acrobat Pro.

    I wonder if your client is thought to an Acrobat form, where users can add data to text boxes and so on.

    Just a thought.

  • How to restore good export PDF from InDesign CS3 or CS5 in Snow Leopard?

    I had no problem to export to PDF from InDesign CS3 files (on a Mac Pro running Snow Leopard 10.6.4) until last weekend, when all the fonts appear bitmap or thin and rough, and the images lost color depth and contrast. When I copied the InDesign document to my MacBook Pro laptop, also running 10.6.4 the PDF has emerged with its original quality. Support calls Adobe referred me to the incompatibilities between Snow Leopard and InDesign documents. One of these documents was several pages long, but I could not print from the Adobe to my HP website all-in-one Officejet, because one-third of the document was hidden under a white board. This makes it impractical for the troubleshooting document, because I don't have enough screen real estate (even on a 23-inch screen) to let the open document and all the pages and dialogue boxes needed for reference. Back to the phone and chat support, I was told to upgrade my Creative Suite Premium CS3 to CS5 ($ 800!) and buy the updated Acrobat Pro ($200), with no guarantee that this cost of $1,000 would actually solve the problem. I downloaded the trial version of InDesign CS5, and it has NOT solved the problem. I am also afraid that the problem did not exist before last weekend. Before that, my CS3 and Snow Leopard combination worked very well. Then I checked the forums and was appalled by the variety of issues related to PDF files, for which there seems to be no general solution. Meanwhile, I have hundreds of ads, I'm supposed to be prepare and e-mailing as evidence PDF to businesses nationwide. I have two books of 120 with 256 pages to be submitted to printers in PDF format with all kinds of fonts and files image belonging to my clients. The last time I presented a paper on a printer by electronic mail, the work went perfectly. This time and the next, it is obvious, that I won't be able to send a PDF file to all! If this is the case, my activities related to the directories of 27 will be unable to absorb the expenditures necessary to start all over again with software and new computers, and I'll be out of business. Period. Yes - someone ' an at - it a way to solve this problem? Surely, I would be grateful.

    file-> package.

    and save it to another drive.

    Frome, open the indd file in the folder of the package and try to export PDFs.

  • 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!

  • interactive PDF using Indesign CS5.5 problem with overlay

    Hi all

    I designed an interactive pdf - not for the web. I have a stratification of problem on a page. On the page, there are 6 buttons. Each key pressed will propose a box containing information and content. When I designed the page using indesign cs5.5, I did so that most information box has been at the top of the layer. I thought this would be the cleanest way to present the page. By having the largest area of content (each of the six boxes of content are different sizes) in the upper part, it would cover the other boxes. When I exported the file to the smallest box was the head, and then the secondest etc. It seems pretty messy.

    Is there a way to make sure that the lagest content area is upstairs when it exported in pdf format?

    Concerning

    Have patience!

    Have you tried to put this bigger box on its own layer at the top?  I don't know much about buttons etc but if you expect someone coming here makes.  A large number of contributors are in zones different, but...

  • Help with PDF import Indesign CS5 trial version

    Hello: I'm in a bit of a quandry. I have many PDF files I want to convert it to Epub. I called Adobe and asked them what program I need to do and they said InDesign CS5, so I downloaded the trial version to check it out. The problem is that there is no command to 'place' in the trial version, which is how could import the PDF file. So I'm left unable to perform a test with this software and don't want to buy a program that I can not confirm. Workarounds or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

    Krista

    No command to place? Check work spaces to make sure that you do not have one that hides the menu items.

    Secondly, I don't see how InDesign is going to be the right tool for this.

  • Having trouble exporting to PDF from InDesign CS5?

    This background task looks good on paper, but it does not work in the real world.

    There are serious problems with this feature.

    Export to PDF just of the coils on some files.

    Does anyone else know this?

    I tried ALL solutions workaround, but it seems to me that we should not "print at very.

    It must be a function automatic and thoughtless.

    Try using one of the presets by default and modify. I had some problems with an old custom preset in my printer, when I tried to select directly from the file menu, but no problem if I recreated in CS5.

  • 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.

  • Mysterious lines in exported PDF in Indesign

    I apologize if this has already been answered, but I couldn't find an answer anywhere.

    I'm working on preparing a book for a child shown in Indesign. I created all the drawings in Illustrator, and they are complex, multilayered illustrations with lots of patterns and layers.

    For my Indesign layout, I have linked to a different Illustrator work plan on each page.

    When I export the Indesign layout in PDF format, some of the designs have small lines to what I think are the edges of the boss. There is an example in the green box below. It is confusing, because these do not appear in the original Illustrator designs or layout Indesign, only in the PDF export.

    Screen Shot 2016-02-04 at 1.33.07 PM.png

    How can I avoid this? I'm following recommended insofar as the workflow? I get the same result when I save the illustrator to PDF work plans and then place the pdf file in Indesign.

  • Question to export PDF from Indesign book Blurb - color change

    Hello

    This is my first post on the Adobe forum.

    I have a problem when you export a PDF file that is intended to be printed for a book Blurb. The Preview on the site blurb is very different from my PDF in terms of colors.

    This is my workflow:

    -All my photos are converted to CMYK blurb (via photoshop) color profile and saved as TIFF.

    -J' I put all my pictures on my layout in Indesign CS6 (which also has the color of the text of presentation profile)

    - Then I set the PDF export preset that Blurb has provided (the profile description [based on 'Blurb PDF X - 3 Export Preset'] [based on ' [PDF / X-3: 2002]'] use these parameters to create Adobe PDF documents that should be verified or must conform to PDF / X-3: 2002, an ISO standard for graphic content exchange.)  For more information on the creation of PDF/X-3 compliant PDF documents, please visit the Acrobat User Guide.  Created PDF documents can be opened with Acrobat and Adobe Reader 4.0 and later.]

    -C' is where the problem begins: if I read the PDF with Adobe reader, it seems very well (i.e. I see on my screen of Indesign) SEE IMAGE 1. But if I look at the preview of the PDF on the Blurb Book Preview module it looks like really bad (see IMAGE 2).

    So my question is:

    What might explain my PDF looks so different from the preview Blurb and what step should I take to fix this problem?

    Blurb people have no idea so I hope that the Adobe community can help me!

    Thank you in advance!

    1 a- What I see on PDF - Blurb settings using Acrobat.jpg

    IMAGE 2: as seen on the text of presentation preview module.

    IMAGE 2 - same pdf as viewed on foxit reader.jpg

    I recommend that place your images in InDesign as sRGB (you need to go back to the original images, not those who are already converted to CMYK). When you have finalized your document InDesign export presets PDF Acrobat, by selecting the text of presentation PDF presets (that you have installed). You can view the PDF result using Acrobat on your own (probably calibrated monitor).

  • Export PDF from InDesign requires Acrobat?

    My colleague has InDesign CS4, but does not have the option to export in PDF format.  Is Acrobat Standard or Pro is required in order to use this feature?  I can on my machines, but they run the Master Collection, which comes with Acrobat Pro.  Research forums and help documentation, but came away empty-handed.

  • Print background ID CS5 disable when exporting pdf

    Is there a way to turn off background printing when you export to PDF in InDesign CS5?

    I really prefer the way pdf-export was done in the foreground, as it has been since InDesign 1.0.

    An option where you could choose between forground and background printing would be nice because I'm sure that there are people who want background printing. Otherwise why would Adobe suddenly it, in my opinion, stupid change?

    There is no way to disable since Indesign 'out of the box', but there is a way to use a script for a "foreground" export, have a look here. And if you are not familiar with the use of scripts have a look here too!
