InDesign CS5 spits out huge pdf files

• Problem using Adobe InDesign CS5 to prepare a PDF file to download on Magcloud:

  I use the trial version of Adobe InDesign CS5 30 days.

  I have downloaded the Magcloud model, created a document using InDesign CS5, it has exported to PDF and uploaded to Magcloud. Magcloud rejects my upload, saying: he has an incorrect number of pages. For example, if I create a 24 page document in InDesign, Magcloud think she has only 13 pages - front and back covers, 11 more two-page spreads.

  Details, please, how to export from InDesign CS5 so that Magcloud sees the same number of pages as InDesign.

  Thank you

  Seems that you exported (Interactive) PDF format instead of choose PDF (Print) in the drop-down menu, one of the Print presets from file > Adobe PDF presets...

• Can I fill out a pdf file if I open it with iBook? On my iPad

  Can I fill out a pdf file if I open it with iBook?

  No, you can't. iBooks does not read the fields to fill in a PDF file. You need a soft like Acrobat Reader from the App Store.

• How to record down version Cloud Creative InDesign CS5? Exported as a file .idml but still the messages that plug-ins are missing, although CS5 confirms it is fully updated.

  How to record down version Cloud Creative InDesign CS5? Exported as a file .idml but still the messages that plug-ins are missing, although CS5 confirms it is fully updated.

  Yes. Thank you. I based on another post misled. Successfully done this by selecting 'File', 'save a copy... ". "then choosing"for CS4 or later (IDML).

  He had little patience and several tests, but I think it was because of hardware (memory) overloaded version CC cloud or something. It was a 50 MB, file of 500 pages and took 17 minutes to convert/save,

  Recap: dnuee to CS5, do not use "Export" (IDML); use ' Save as ' or 'Save a copy' and select "for CS4 or later (IDML).

  Advice much appreciated.

• InDesign CS5 - failed to open the file. Please update your plug-ins for their latest version, or...

  InDesign CS5 - cannot open many indd. file. You can see exactly what will happen in the screenshot fallow. Updates and upgrades, in fact.

  What can I do to open the indd. ??? TX

  

  These are CS5.5 files and can not be opened directly in CS5. They must be exported from CS5.5 to the .idml, and these files should open in CS5.

• You can export a folder InDesign CC book to individual PDF files?

  This has been a problem for a long time with InDesign for me, you can manually select the files in the folder from the book and export them, or open each file and export this path instead.

  You cannot export the folder from the book as individual PDF files only in the form of entire file.

  There is a Script, see the link: export specification documents to PDF | Peter Kahrel, who has worked on earlier versions of InDesign, but doesn't seem to work on the CC.

  Can someone point me in the direction of another script or fastest solution?

  HM, just tested Peter Kahrel's script with some fake documents in the latest version of InDesign CC - 2014.2 on OSX 10.10.3.

  Tried once, had the same problem: rotation for a few minutes beach ball. Did not wait an hour, but complete InDesign after five minutes.

  Restart InDesign, tried again, and then the script of Peter worked very well.

  The export of my six fake documents takes only a few seconds.

• The files HAVE as links within a file, indesign to then be a pdf file, problematic?

  I want to know if the files have linked to an indesign file, which must then be PDFed for the printer, problem somehow. I was always asked by my printer to have all my images within a PDF, CMYK value and saved in tiff format.

  It seems that they should not be a problem, and that by converting the format tiff s i just lose in detail and it being a chore, as I have over 150 images.

  Am I wrong?

  art of John Johnson says:

  What is a manual operation? where in illustrator I convert individually these or make me an option within indesign to do this to all the links of the eps?

  You can record an action to save as .ai and close the file, then run that in the form of lots on a folder of files. But I do not convert batch if I am preflighting. When I control upstream I open all the files, look for problems and potential problems, sync (if any) color, perform the action to remove unused items from the Panel, then save as a new file. I have always save as .ai with PDF compatibility and, if possible, check that all images are linked not shipped.

  Read my file for a file sizes have 370 Ko or there abouts, looks small (although we're talking here of line, maps, etc).

  But I can read is inside my document setup, under 'Transparency' my balance pixelation/vectorization is 75 (in the direction of vector), my resolution for line art & text is 300ppi, gradient and mesh is 150ppi. don't know if I'm just throwing numbers at you, but that's what I got.

  Those are the values by default of the effects of rasterization resolution (for example effect > esthetics > Drop Shadow) and gradient meshes are pixelated when you print or save a PDF file. I usually set up a predefined custom flatterer who goes completely to 100% and does not plan type or convert lines to fills. These are used for priting and record in PDF format only. Your .ai file contains a PDF high resolution whose Illustrator unknown when editing but that InDesign and Photoshop use to import.

  The size of the file is irrelevant to the resolution of the built-in images. 370 KB is quite small, however, and when combined with your description of the content gives heavily to think there is no raster elements, so nothing to sweat. You can open the links Panel to see if there are images embedded or linked. I expect none.

• Export documents within an InDesign book in a single PDF file

  I have several documents within an InDesign book. Is there a way that they can be exported in a single PDF file?

  Here is the script I use:

      for (var i = 0; i < data.chapters.length; i++)
         {
              show_list.children[0].selection = i; show_list.show ();
              
              DocName = data.chapters[i].name;
             
              app.open (data.chapters[i], false);
              
              f = new File (data.chapters[i].fullName.replace (/indd$/, "pdf"));
  
              app.pdfExportPreferences.pageRange = PageRange.allPages;
              app.documents.itemByName(DocName).exportFile(ExportFormat.pdfType, f, false, data.preset);
              app.documents.itemByName(DocName).close(SaveOptions.no);
         }

  The script will export to the PDF format, but each document is a separate PDF file.

  Any HEP would be appreciated.  Thank you.

• InDesign CS5 do not open CS4 files

  (I work on a Mac Pro Quad - Core Intel Xeon 2.26 GHz). I've upgraded to CS5 last week and ran into a problem with InDesign does not open some files CS4. It does not at all ID CS4 files and I don't see a common factor that tells me why InDesign CS5 opens some and not others. I can always open in CS4 and they are not locked. I made sure that no one else had it open also. The error I get is the following.

  Cannot open the document "filename". You may not have permission or the document can be opened already.

  I opened the range of information in the finder and the files are not locked and permissions are appropriate. I tried to save the file to my desktop, and still save on the server and it does not want to open it in CS5. These files are shared, we have a file naming convention and storage limited review, trying to find a work around if it is not a fix for this problem.

  Any suggestion would be appreciated.

  WARNING: For a long time Mac user... I know very little except how to connect networks.

  We have implemented in order to connect to our server in the window (from our Macs) via AppleTalk and Samba. We have looked in using Samba on several occaisions, but continue to flow upward with reasons we should not / cannot use only of Samba. Sometimes, if we have a permissions problem with connecting via AppleTalk, we can connect to the same server via Samba and do not have the same permissions issues. We are also limited to files with 24 characters in the file name when write us a file on the server using AppleTalk. I have not found a limit when writing to a file on the server, when it is connected via Samba. (I tested a 100 characters in length file name and didn't see a need to go higher.)

  We have just updated our computers for CS5 to test and found the same problem with not being able to open most files from the server. We can copy the file on our hard drive, work on it, save it, then copy it to the server. But if I connect server via Samba, I can work on the file without any problems. From what I read above, I guess than that, still, has something to do with the number of characters in the file name. I'm not advising all start using Samba - less long-term. (Once again, we did some research and found several reasons we still use AppleTalk.) But it could be a temp fix for some of you, if this is possible on your networks.

  I would also add that the temporary file generated by CS4 had a tilde at the beginning of the name. The temporary files generated by CS5 have a slash and a tilde at the beginning of the name. We had not this problem in CS4 work since Windows Server at all. The slash can be the death blow.

• [ID CS3 (Win)] - where InDesign stores my name of PDF file?

  Have you experience this before? You have a document (let's call it "MyDoc.indd") and you want to use as a base for a new document ("NewDoc.indd").

  If you open MyDoc, save as "NewDoc. You are now working on NewDoc.

  Some time later, you go to NewDoc export to PDF and remembers MyDoc and recommends as file name for the PDF file. If you change the file name for your PDF file, and then save your INDD file, it will now remember the new name as your default PDF name.

  But what happens if you want to change this beforehand, for example: you are not ready to export the file, but you want to make sure that when you (or someone else does) that they use the correct file name?

  -Tom

  PS: I noticed that this behavior is different on a Mac and a PC.

  If you use the default name for your PDF, which is the same as the .indd file name no export name is stored in the data file. However, if you export and change the name, THEN SAVE THE FILE, exported new name will be written in the data file and will not survive another record just one save slot, and the only way to remove it is to export to .idml/.inx.

• How to export Indesign CS4 bleeding into a pdf file?

  I have done this with success twice before, but can't, for the life of me, get the bleeding appears in the pdf file.  Here are the settings I use.

  

  Good explanation of the purge.

  You can view the trim and bleed lines in Acrobat by turning on the preferences Page display > show art, trim & bleed boxes.

• can I change the font to fill out a pdf file?

  OK, long story short. I area Acrobat and tried to reinstall but it kept thowing by abot of error messages is not installed correctly and threatening to close, then I installed Adobe Acrobat pro & spin as a trial.

  I have a few jpeg images I have saved in pdf and want to fill in "Olde English" do I have on my PC and works well in Adobe Acrobat Pro.

  Before I pass on this Adobe Acrobat Pro purchase, if I go back the free player is there a way to use my own fonts?

  Yes, that's correct, unless the author of the form put in place so that the

  field is "Rich Text content".

  In this case, you can select which fonts are used in the text field, but

  not otherwise.

• Is it possible to automate the export of my InDesign file to several different export settings with PDF files?

  OK, so not sure if this is possible, but it would be a great time for me if possible gain, so I throw it out there.

  I often work on spec sheets to work in InDesign and when I finished, I have preset PDF export settings for Print and Web. Printing has all the markings of bleed and printer, and one, web well... you get the idea.

  For now, I need to run export separately; so I do my export to a PDF print... and then I make my export to obtain a PDF optimized for Web.

  These are separate tasks, but surely there must be a script or another way to get InDesign just export the two PDF files at the same time, respecting the presets they are posted.

  How can I do this?
