• 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 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:

  I would like for it to change the file name as the first two characters are deleted.

• The files 'disappear' when you add a period to a folder or a file name in windows through GUI

  The files 'disappear' when you add a period to a folder or a file name in windows through GUI

  I don't know if it's a bug, but certainly doesn't seem like it should be the case. I tried on both 64-bit and 32-bit on windows 7. Does not make this error on XP or vista.

  Can someone explain to me what is happening?

  To reproduce, in windows 7 make a file or folder, and THEN add a ".". (period) to the end of the name of the file and look at the file "disappear". It's still there, just need to refresh (F5) and it reappears (w/o of the annex "." because it's an illegal file naming convention).

  I tried to do the same thing but through command line and it always auto corrects names of files to the conventions, and correctly, it remains on the GUI, so I think that the problem is related to the graphical mode of name change

• 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.

  Hello-

  I have receid a model from a printer which I can see in my INDD file, but it does not appear in Preview Mode of overprinting or when exporting to PDF format.  I would like to be able to export works of art with the model visible to the customer for review and audit purposes.  What settings must change to CO-OPERATE if the model is visible when I export to PDF?

  Check if it is on a layer marked as non-printable, or if the non-printing attribute is checked in the control panel. You will need to change whrever find you.

• Only black color on the linked indesign files conversion 4 black color process when exporting to PDF?

  I have a paged presentation that contains multiple indesign files linked. They have two colors: black to 100% and a spot color. If I export the files related, using the same PDF preset, the colors are kept, but when exporting from layout with them tied it converts black in 4 colors. I checked the separations on the layout file but they are all very good. It's just a bug or am I doing something stupid?

  What happens when you color manage CMYK to another space CMYK, try using PDF X / 1 setting first and make sure that preserve numbers is set for the release, let us know how it goes.

• My Indesign file fall when I export it as a PDF

  Hello

  can you help me on this you!

  www.pastebin.com

  You can paste your error here reports - and you will receive a link - this link is then pasted into the forums.

  He stops the forums being dotted with massive posts and makes it easier to read and look for answers.

  If you ever have a problem with a file not to export or print - you can always do a divide and conquer.

  If you export half of the pages of document in PDF format, and if it works while the half of the book are very good. Then try to export the other half of the book.

  Everywhere where it crashes, it's where lay the problem pages.

  You can keep cutting the book half exporting sections of pages until refine you the pages causing problems.

  As for you, problem pages - I would ry resave images and renaming and using a file extension different than what you currently have, such as the use

  TIF instead of PSD,

  or PSD or TIF instead of JPG, GIF and PNG etc.

• Best way to get InDesign files (or the exported pdf file) Acrobat DC?

  Hi all

  I was taken to the top of the interactive forms in Indesign. I like the creation of form-everything is very specific and very accurate. I feel like Adobe is lacking in this regard and with regard to the toolset.

  / But /, Indesign does not support the level of script Acrobat when it comes to creation of interactive form. What I do is, I exported the PDF from Indesign, then by defining it as a background in Acrobat. That worked fine for me up until I created a multipage document.

  It seems that I can not put a background in Acrobat 1:1 with the pdf I created. It still affects each page with the background, be it a page of pdf or page 2 or page 3...

  Someone at - it a good workflow, a way to get the most out of Indeisgn without taking too many steps to change the pdf file in Acrobat? Perhaps with a plug-in?

  Have you tried the replace command pages in Acrobat. Seems it would be exactly what need you.

• image in indesign file not no projection in pdf export - help!

  Hi there-

  Export my indesign file to PDF has been fine up til now - all images and text are fine except one. The image is one that I have edited in Photoshop (CS4) - it's a layer of drop shadow. I then placed in Indesign and fiddled with his opacity. And then I exported. Literally, everything else in this relatively large file is fine. I increased the opacity of the image at 100% and he did in fact appear in the pdf file, as it appeared on indesign. Then I tried to decrease the opacity of a minimum amount (85% - I is approximately 45%) and it disappeared again. Don't know how to solve this problem. Thanks for any help

• White lines around png when exporting to PDF

  I'm having the problem that the imported images frequently have white around the outside of the image bars when the document is exported to PDF format. Looking at the two images currently affected, I noticed that they are two PNG images. I have fixed the image that was just rectangular turning them just in a JPEG file that I did not require the use of transparency, but the second object is another question, and I require the use of png transparency. These lines are not normally present when in indesign.

  Line is noticeable only in one place where a black rectangle together black background (only the upper part of the rectangle is visible on black as one side is covered and the other side is outside the crop area) so I don't know if it's the only spot, it happens.

  The line isn't even a straight white line!

  I had this problem before with lines that appear around objects that should not be there, as well as objects are not like they do in inDesign, any advice to solve this?

  I don't think you should use PNG for the files that will be printed. You would probably get better results if you saved your png as TIFF and replaced in the layout.

  In any case, it could be a consequence of the piquant effect and just one thing on the screen only when it prints very well.

  In Acrobat disable "Smooth line art" and "Smooth images" in the Page display preferences and the white lines could disappear.

  See if that helps
