InDesign CS4 crashes when exporting to PDF

Try to export a file from InDesign CS4 to PDF. That's always worked before but one file won't work. Program seems to stall or take so long, I think that it is broken down.

There is a progress bar that tells you what the program actually does? I remember seeing it in earlier versions, and it helped identify problems.

If not, is there a troubleshooting procedure I can work through?

Thanks for any help

Well, dkd. alkje; olhp [oihjl, there isn't really a set-loans troublesome documents troubleshooting procedure. If you are not yet see the dialog ongoing export with the bar of progression, there is something seriously wrong with your file or your InDesign.

Yet, no need (yet) to resort to drastic measures. Try this: the first half of your export document. If it works, export the second half of your document. If this also works, you have a problem and the two halves. The two halves can be supported by Acrobat, just stick to the other and you have a single complete PDF, but the problem still persists.

If one half of your document exports well and the other half does not, the part without work again in two halves to export. Repeat this until you have that one page left who does not - export and it's caused trouble. It could be a picture, an image, one placed (PDF or EPS<- hint:="" trouble!),="" or="" even="" something="" like="" a="" single="" space="" in="" a="" font="" that="" indesign="" does="" not="" particularly="" like="" --="" at="" least="" you'll="" have="" a="" clue="" to="" where="" to="" scan="" for="" troublesome="">

If this results in nothing, he can point to a messy file. Sometimes crass and undesirable add up in the corners of the ID files, and save under could clean it up for you. If this is not the case, go to more drastic step described in the present:

  • InDesign CS6 crashing when exporting to PDF (not problem of fonts)

    I tried to export my PDF with all the different types of settings. It is only an 8-page document. It has about 15 jpg low resolution in it. I used a font Adobe stock. There are several hyperlinks in the file, but for most it is just text. I have no idea how to solve this problem. And of course, I need it to work tomorrow. I get a message saying error it is the overlay text on 3 of 8 pages, but I don't think it's something that could cause this problem. Any ideas? Thank you!

  • InDesign CS4 crash when printing... "' Macromedia ' apparent culprit...

    (Sorry if this has found its way to the bad advice Forum: I can't seem to find a way to the appropriate InDesign CS4 'Community' to publish it in!)

    My Mac of InDesign CS4 version 6.0.6 version started crashing when you try to print.

    The Crash log shows that the individual has crashed the thread in order to always include the line:

    com.macromedia.Flash Player.authplaylib 0x1c5ac2dd ExternalPlayer_Initialize + 1864739

    .. which is repeated twice, with different similar numbers just before and after "ExternalPlayer_Initialize".

    I guess that there is a problem with InDesign calling "macromedia. '" Flash Player"instead of Adobe Flash Player, but I don't know where or how to change the words 'macromedia '. Flash Player"to encourage the program runs correctly.

    Note: The program has been installed on a Mac that had disappeared and was found and returned, but in the meantime we would have bought a Mac replacement. InDesign has been uninstalled and then some Mac initially lost, and a previous full backup of this Mac was then restored on the new Mac, so that was a complete copy of the original (.. so respect for restrictions on use..)

    After that the program was restored on the new Mac, it prints more.

    Any help or suggestions, please?

  • InDesign CS4 crashes when converting 1-column text box with a drop shadow to the col-2 (or more)

    I use InDesign CS4 in Windows XP Pro 64-bit, 6 GB of RAM. If I create a column 1 text box, fill it with a color, add a drop shadow, and then add text, everything is fine. If I try to change it to 2-columns (or), InDesign freezes/crashes. I thought at first that it is perhaps because the case was shot, but it happens even if the case is not turned. If I remove the shadow and try to change it, it works.

    Anyone know why this is happening or if there is a known bug or fix?

    Thank you

    XP 64 is totally supported. No troubleshooting should begin there.

  • InDesign CS4 crashes when you place the Word document

    Hello

    I'm having a real problem by placing a Word document in InDesign CS4. It crashes everytime! I found that if I turn off the 'import inline graphics' it correctly places the document. but enabling this option blocks InDesign.

    I tried to save in rich TEXT format and even do a simple copy - paste, but the result is the same: InDesign crashes.

    If you have an idea please let me know!

    Thank you

  • Objects in InDesign files disappear when exporting to PDF (CS5.5)

    I have a text that was created in text converted to outlines, filled and has a drop shadow applied. When I export the document to PDF, part (fill) text disappears, and all I get is the shadow. I tried to change a color non-spot, I tried to remove all attributes, and nothing seems to work! I also tried to copy this work to the Clipboard and paste them into an Illustrator file (says that it's too big to fit the editing table, which I checked sizes - and it must adapt. I tried to copy the paths and sticking them in Photoshop as a smart object... no chance either. What Miss me? Thanks in advance for any help!

    I hate to suggest it, but have you tried the PDF instead of export of distillation? It seems to me, too, as there is a problem in the file, and sometimes still work if an export will not. What happens if something do you know the history of this file?

  • Cs6 InDesign crashes when exporting objects with shadows in interactive PDF format

    I use the trial version of InDesign CS6 on a mac OSX 10.7.4 that I need to export my document as an interactive PDF. I found that the export works very well as long as none of the objects in my document were a shadow. However, if I add a shadow to any object (text, images or video) InDesign will crash when I try to export. I'm adding the shadow by selecting the object and choosing object > Effects > drop shadow. Is there another method I should use to add shade if I want to export to an interactive PDF?

  • InDesign CS6 crashes when I try to copy a chart

    I work in CS6 with a document that has been converted from CS4. I want to move a chart from one location in the document to the other, but when I try to copy it, InDesign crashes immediately. Does anyone else have this problem?

    I work on a PC, and I think that the original file was created on a Mac.

    It turns out that the culprit was a bad font in the image. I opened the image in Illustrator and converted to outlines police. That solved the problem! By the way, this a problem of image/font (this image is used in a few different manuals) also caused InDesign to crash when I exported in PDF format.

    People from Adobe, if you're reading this, it would be great if the problematic fonts in images were detected by InDesign, as an error in the control panel for errors of liaison and the police currently similar upstream it. I don't see a way to detect this easily now (how to refine the image which is a problem when working with 50 + images in a document?) Is it possible that I don't know?

  • Web images are blurred when exporting to PDF

    We constantly place web (72 dpi) images in InDesign presentation documents, then export the PDF file for our customers. However when the PDF file is exported it makes images to 72 dpi blurred. I tried all combinations to export the PDF file I can think is to say high quality printing, change of compression to zero, change of color of the images "Do not downsample", export to interactive PDF and change the resolution etc and it always seems to compress my images every time.

    Any ideas?

    Note: The only way I found it is to recreate the images in the form of 150ppi however need an another solution because they must be 72 dpi.

    Thank you

    Acrobat displays the default images to 96 DPI system.

    In Acrobat, go into preferences and under the Page display, you can insert a custom resolution that will probably solve your problem.

    Note that this is an individual setting, other computers may not have this together.

  • CS4 crashes when I send to print and pen tool loses the ability to maintain a multi striped line attributes.

    With the help of Illustrator CS4 (impossible to pass because the office that I contracted does not level) on a Mac under the Mavericks 10.9.5 (just upgraded to 10.6). CS4 crashes when I send to print (I was save as PDF and print only). In addition, the pen tool loses the ability to maintain a multi striped line attributes.

    For the second, deselect new Art has basic appearance in appearance (small triangle in the upper-right) Panel dialog box. With regard to the other you tried to delete and time the printer to your list of printers? In addition, since nothing sooner than CS6 has been tested with 10.9.x, the PDF method can be your only hope.
