• Export from InDesign to PDF and the PDF file last updated is greater than one month and not easily print on letter paper is PDF presets?

  Hello

  I export from InDesign to PDF page is larger in the PDF file, and others I exported. This is because of the present PDF? One of the project managers is not able to print on 8.5 "x 11", but the InDesign document presets are the same as before. I wish I could download PDFs to show, but the newly exported PDF is greater than the version I created a month ago. I created a PDF file and the newly updated PDF file is almost un.5 inch wider with the export presets even. Any thoughts?

  I suspect the project manager has his copy of Reader/Acrobat simply set to print full size, rather than "Worthy" (assuming that the size of InDesign pages is truly 8.5 x 11).

  .. the newly updated PDF file is almost un.5 inch wider with the same export presets.

  This has nothing to do with export presets. How did determine you this difference of half inch?

• ePub (fixed provision) is not on my list of options when I export from InDesign 6 CC

  I am trying to export my file as an ePub (fixed provision), but I am puzzled because when I type 'export' option does not exist! I can export it as an ePub. Each tutorial and scenario troubleshooting that I saw did not this as a problem. Yes, I'm new to InDesign, but I'm a veteran of 15 years photoshop.

  More info about this file:

  I have a 32 page children's book and my settings are for the ipad and digital publishing.

  The pictures are photoshop .pdf, without layers. The text is a custom called "Burvetica", (but I've created a few files, do not use this or any text, and the same problem.)

  There is no transparent photos or layers.

  -How can I export as "ePub (fixed provision)" back on my menu export?

  You must upgrade to InDesign CC2015 to achieve this functionality.

  Use the JPGs to your images.

  You fired your policy for ePub?

• Fonts by which Suits as a PDF exported from InDesign

  I am looking for a solution to some fonts display incorrectly in a PDF file when they look fine in InDesign.

  I'm on Mac OSX, Acrobat 10.1.13 and 10.1.11 (update did not help) and font book is my font manager.

  Fonts are not lacking in InDesign and the control panel fonts shows them as installed. But the problem fonts seem to miss in the properties of Acrobat/Fonts tab until I have install with the font book. They all show as embedded subset.

  For example, it is a page of InDesign (ignore the contours of the block):

  

  Here's a PDF of screen capture:

  

  The police is Carta (the boxes), but of other fonts substituted a font serif for other text as well.

  I can't recreate the circumstances since I have now installed the fonts that were incorrectly. I guess that InDesign can locate and display fonts in the working folder, but can't Acrobat.

  It doesn't seem to be any warnings there is a police problem. Is there a foolproof way to find out if a font is being overridden in Acrobat?

  In fact, there is no such set of privileges as Overview of privileges in terms of integration. TrueType and OpenType fonts is to allow No incorporation (police cannot be embedded in a PDF, EPS file or ePUB in any circumstance), Preview and print incorporation (the police may be incorporated, but only for display purposes and printing - such text in the PDF file cannot be edited) or installable embedding (police can be installed later somewhere else).

  When you export a PDF from InDesign, if the font used in the InDesign document contains at least Preview and integrating printing privileges, it will be incorporated into the PDF file. Otherwise, you will get probably a warning to export InDesign, but also a PDF file which does not display correctly unless you have these fonts actually installed on the computer of the recipient of the PDF file system.

  The way to check regarding the font is well embedded in a PDF file is to open the file in Acrobat, press the Command D, then click on fonts at the top of the dialog box. Each policy referenced in the PDF file is listed. If the police is incorporated, it says either embedded or subset incorporated with the name of the font. If the police is not incorporated, it will also tell you what the font is used for display, perhaps the same font, accessed from your installed fonts or perhaps a substitution font.

• A pdf file exported from InDesign, but displays various error messages when the same file is downloaded on the same laptop from the company's Web site

  Hello

  I'm having a problem with a pdf file created for my business. It exports without problems and displays correctly on my computer, but once it is transferred to the Web site and you download from here, pages randomly displayed not correctly, images and pieces of text go missing and different "internal error" messages pop up, such as:
  

  "An internal error has occurred."

  "There is an error on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the pdf document to correct the problem.

  "Failed to retrieve the embedded police"LICYDR + GaramondMT". Some characters may not display or print correctly.
  "Insufficient for an image.

  And when I close the pdf file it asks if I want to save even if I did not bring any changes to the document. It seems that everyone has problems with pages and receive different error messages. It is exported using the smallest file size preset in InDesign. Any idea what could be the cause? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
  

  
  

  Thank you

  One thing to check is if BINARY is used in the FTP client. If a client FTP ASCII is used, it may corrupt PDF files.

  Here's another thing to check yourself for you. Find the size in bytes of your original PDF. Now, look at the size of the uploaded file in bytes. Are they the same? If this is not the case, ask your colleague the size in bytes of the PDF file on the server. Is this the same as the original, or bad file?

• Quality PDF export from InDesign and Photoshop problems

  Hello.

  I have problems exporting my InDesign files to PDF and keeping the Res. And it's not only images (I understand on the CIO) is the guy over there too.

  I exported as preset high quality printing - this is false. Are there other settings to make sure the PDF export retains the quality of high resolution and clarity?

  At the time of high resolution when I export jpeg or eps but not PDF.

  I also noticed the same problem when I export to PDF from Photoshop.

  I really need to create interactive and high quality print PDF of my InDesign files.

  Please can you advise.

  Thank you

  Sounds like it might be that the setting resolution in Acrobat is not corresponding to the screen.

• Workaround for calling from InDesign on Mac Acrobat

  With the help of @Test username and @Gilad D, I could get my original problem about 90% fixed.  Now, I need to tie everything together in order to solve this puzzle.  This puzzle called Acrobat from a script on Mac InDesign.

  Windows users have no trouble because BridgeTalk is available for their use, allowing them to call Acrobat directly from InDesign script.  Mac users, on the other hand, have been cheated by Adobe.  BridgeTalk does not work with Acrobat on a Mac.  Unfortunately, where I work, I found myself in the unenviable position to require a script (written in JavaScript/ExtendScript) InDesign to call Acrobat to a simple page of replacement function.  And, of course, our computers here at work are all Macs.

  With the help of the above, I, at least, got most of the way.  I discovered that AppleScript can be used to call Acrobat and do things.  And there is a 'doScript()' JavaScript function, which allows the scripts to another language to be run inside a JavaScript script.  Unfortunately, I ran into a wall when have AppleScript to save a file, but at least I can have call a function of the JavaScript script folder level to take care of her for me, I looked for work.  Yes, you can see the complications here.

  So what must happen, then, is a JavaScript script that calls an AppleScript script which in turn calls another script JavaScript that runs inside Acrobat.  Phew!  Talk about a script-reception!  But I was actually able to make this work!  However, I ran into a little snag.

  You see, I need to pass a variable through each of the three layers of scripts so that it works.  I'll post what I have so far.

  First of all, the top-level script, which runs inside InDesign.  This is just a test script to make sure that it all works before I integrate it with the real InDesign script:

  var fName = "testfile2.pdf";
  var aFName = new Array;
  aFName.push(fName);
  scriptFile = new File ("/apache HD/Users/apache/Documents/unlockCover.applescript");
  app.doScript(scriptFile, ScriptLanguage.APPLESCRIPT_LANGUAGE, aFName);
  

  Now, the AppleScript file (the middle layer), you can see being referred to above:

  on run argv
            set unlockedFile to item 1 of argv as text
            tell application "Adobe Acrobat Pro"
                      do script ("unlockCover(" & unlockedFile & ");")
            end tell
  end run
  

  
  

  This should, in theory, finally call the last script (low level), which is a JavaScript file saved inside the box at the level of the files for Acrobat, so that it runs automatically as soon as the launch of Acrobat and the function remains in memory to be called at any time:

  var unlockCover = app.trustedFunction(function (fName)
  {
            app.beginPriv();
            var myDoc = app.openDoc("/g/ ArtDept/Product Templates/ ProofCover/proof_cover.pdf");
            myDoc.replacePages(0, "/apache HD/Users/apache/Desktop/Old samples/407471 Folder/407471_cover.pdf", 0, 0);
            myDoc.saveAs("/apache HD/Users/apache/Desktop/" + fName);
            myDoc.closeDoc(true);
            app.endPriv();
  });
  

  There are the real meat of it.  These four lines between "app.beginPriv ();" and "app.endPriv ();" are those that this is all about.  However, I get an error message when I try to run the script at a higher level:

  End of line but found consistent application or review.

  If I send a call to each of you scripting gurus out there, how can I put the last nail in the coffin of this monster and call it a day.  I'm pretty sure 100% that the problem lies in trying to pass the argument ("aFName' in the top-level script) for the intermediate level AppleScript script.  Any ideas?

  Problem solved.

  I played with it a bit more and discovered that it was, indeed, passing the variable of AppleScript script that was the problem.  I used 'on run argv', I read on some site earlier today as the way AppleScript handles the arguments given.  More recently, however, I discovered that JavaScript uses a table defined as 'arguments' whenever AppleScript him passes a variable.  So, on a lark, I decided to try to use 'arguments' the other way ' round (I also had to add an extra set of quotes in the line "do script" AppleScript seems to save strings to variables without them):

  set unlockedFile to item 1 of arguments
  tell application "Adobe Acrobat Pro"
            do script ("unlockCover(\"" & unlockedFile & "\");")
  end tell
  

  And who did!  I can now pass a variable all the way from code JavaScript/ExtendScript InDesign JavaScript Acrobat low-level code top-level!  YAY!
  

• FXD export from InDesign CS5, js

  Hello

  I need to export the InDesign file as fxg. I guess it will be something similar to the pdf export, but definitely miss me something. Here's what I have:

  myDoc = app.activeDocument;
  myDocPath = myDoc.filePath;
  mySplit = myDoc.name.indexOf (".");
  myFXGName = myDoc.name.slice (0,mySplit);
  var myRootPath = myDocPath.parent.fsName;  
  myFXGFullName = myFXGName + ".fxg";
  
  
       //   var myFXGExportPreset = app.fxgExportPresets.item("ExportPDFCS5");
  
  
          
      myDoc.exportFile(
          ExportFormat.fxgType,
          File(myRootPath + "/" + myFXGFullName),
          false,

  To be absolutely clear, InDesign has no support for FXG (Flash XML Graphics).

• When you export from InDesign CS6/CC to EPUB I get this...

  

  It is supposed to be years - figures - as for example 1986... And even more specific - most of the numbers in the text is okay, but here and there, I get this...

  Any ideas why this happens?

  Thank you

  No, I'm using a trial version of CC for the moment

  Anyway - finally it exported OK - when I used the option of fixed provision - which is very good on iBooks, but does not open in Adobe reader (technically, it opens but nothing appears)

• Best way to export from Indesign CS5 for Ipad presentation

  Hello, I want to create a portfolio of our work to put on an Ipad, so I can show it to my clients. Would be nice if I could slip through the different screens by scrolling with my finger. Now that I read a few articles about it, but still I can't find out what is the best way... Interactive PDF is not supported on Ipad (?) so I should create an e-book, but which is the best way? Or is it better to simply add a few images in my photofolder and simply scroll through them?

  Thank you very much for your answers!

  There you go. You already have the opportunity to browse the images and run them in a slide show. There is no need to complicate things with PDF/ebook.

• How to configure margins for printing from InDesign books?

  Good evening

  Please, I need help to solve this problem.

  I have created a book (made many documents - INDD files) InDesign. So far so good... I would like to print this book (he has 9 chapters, which means, 9 INDD added to this topic). However, I set each document as 'facing pages', but the margins of each page are different.

  It has:

  RIGHT - 1 centimeter

  LEFT - 1.4 cm

  INTERIOR - 2 centimeter

  OUTSIDE - 1 centimeter

  The problem is that some documents end with a right-hand page, and the following document begins with a right-hand page too (so margins become a problem because I have to send to the printer shop and margins must be accordingly). Some chapters have only a single page, so that it follows a unique page template, but I need to deal with pages...

  In order to set the margins, I created two master pages and margins applied to them.

  Then, I applied these master pages to the membership of all documents (INDD) of this book.

  Please, I need your help to solve. Thanks in advance!

  If you allow your page numbers in the book to be "continue from previous document" file, your pages will take the correct position.

• PDF exported from InDesign background missing when open in Illustrator

  Hello, I have a bit of a frustrating problem.

  I'm working on the graphics for a large project, and I need to get some of my InDesign files in Illustrator (they are two CS5) for our printer.

  I would have normally designed them in Illustrator, but my graphics are in InDesign and we just found out once we started on production, it needs to HAVE and needs our trim road put in place for our irregular forms.

  For MOST documents, its fairly easy summer (export in PDF format > open in illustrator and making a cut path > save as HAVE) However, I have this file which makes me lose my mind.

  When I export to PDF, it opens perfectly and seems normal in acrobat, and I also see in the preview as well. The background appears and everything. However when I opened the PDF in illustrator it completely loses the background. I noticed this before a few graphics, but I assumed it was because they had gradients, drop shadows and transparencies and all that. This file has degraded anything weird with the exception of a background of gray.

  Help? I included a few screenshots of what is happening in the hope that you guys can help solve.

  

  

  

  

  So, we are here to register, and then open it in Acrobat to check things.

  Now, here's what happens when I open it in Illustrator:

  

  Bob, in this case I think that demand is having it to Illy, because the printing device may be a cutting plotter in a sign shop.

  @ BrieBurnham,.

  It seems simple enough that you could easily copy and paste shapes in Illustrator and then redefine the type within a few minutes...

• Pie chart 3D with bevel deteriorates after export from indesign.

  I was the creation of 3D pie charts in illustrator and then placing them in the form of illustrator (.ai) files directly in my indesign document. However after doing so, he has a big loss of quality. The effects of light out as the striated white lines. Sometimes, there are random lines in works of art.

  Pie 3D with no lighting effects and no bevel seem to be doing well.

  To work around this problem, I exported the work as TIFF from illustrator and then placing the TIFF in indesign. It is a heavy workaround, increases the size of the file and also degrades the text under my camembert much.

  The two programs are CS5.

  Thank you.

  If you paste in front, the object will be selected to the dough. Just do not deselect anything.

  Sorry... Adobe went and changed the name... use Pathfinder > unit (it was called 'Add', a version or two), it takes the whole shape and makes a single object/path.

  Base color may be any color but white. Generally, I choose a base color that matches the color of the overal of the subject of the question.

  You could simply try the steps, then undo if you don't like the results.

• The letters simple stall in PDF files exported from Indesign CS

  We have problems of police in some advertisements of our magazine which has proved very expensive last month. First, let me describe the workflow.

  We have designed an ad in Indesign CS and then exported using the setting of the press in the Indesign PDF export option. Here the announcement looked and printed correctly. The announcement was then placed in another Indesign file for the layout of one of our magazines. Here the announcement seemed still fine on the screen and when printing out of Indesign. This next step is where the police problem.

  When we export the final review press ready file Indesign, PDF press setting in Indesign, simple letters in these ads issue of abandonment. For example all Ds "in the full announcement will be absent. So a sentence to the announcement that read "dirt is dark" will read "irt is Ark."

  I wonder if anyone else has had this problem to occur and if they have a solution. The only thing I can think is in compression settings there is an option to compress text and line art. Let's try to clear this check box to see if that solves the problem.

  Thanks for your help,

  Hervé.

  As Bob said, it was a known problem. If I remember, the answer is to embed the entire police in each ad, rather than wait for the final release, but I'm not dead certain that it makes a difference. The problem was that the ID used only the subset of first she is watching for any font.
