• 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.

• 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!

  Vincent

  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.

  Thoughts?  Ideas?  Help?

  Something will not seriously, or that he has the menu export hidden (edit > menus to restore the default value).

• 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.

• problem with the quality of the photo when exporting pdf interactive

  Hi guys!

  I made a simple pdf with before/after samples with superimposed photo retouching, changing the mouseover.

  When I export it as a pdf interactive (on jpeg without loss of quality), the quality of the photo on the final pdf looks like a JPEG on 40% quality, really bad. Œuvres turnaround.

  When I export to PDF for printing high quality - the quality of the photo in the final PDF is impeccable but rollovers do not work... (I checked "Interactive elements: include the appearance") but still nothing...

  Pleeease help cause I can't find a way. I just need the renewal work and have pictures in the highest quality possible.

  Thank you

• When I export a PDF from Indesign CS6 (PDF1A), the first page of the document is blank.  Why?

  When I export a PDF from Indesign CS6 (PDF1A), the first page of the document is blank.  Why?

  Do not fix PDF 1A errors?

  Here is my screenshot of indesign and acrobat.  The first page is empty, the second page is not.  Why only the first page?

  Any help is very appreciated!  Thanks in advance!

  

  Adobe strongly recommends use of PDF/X-4, which retains direct management transparency and color all the way to the INVESTIGATION period.

  PDF/X-1a is indeed antiquated for any content that uses anything other than CMYK + spot color or transparency.

  All modern PDF workflow software supports PDF/X-4. If you are printing to a PostScript RIP, Acrobat Pro (version X and XI) can print PDF/X-4 of tears (or printers) pretty well.

• Anyone know how to export a PDF from InDesign is "click to go to the next page" instead of "scroll to go to the next page?

  Anyone know how to export a PDF from InDesign is "click to go to the next page" instead of "scroll to go to the next page?

  I do not use the InDesign last, but in the past ID options for export to the format PDF did not define how a PDF should be considered once exported.  However, these settings can be adjusted in Acrobat via preferences: departure of layout and Zoom in the view of the Page.

• After purchasing the software to export PDF online when I try to perform a "file/save under ' when viewing a document on the web, it hangs to the top of the windows Explorer.  I get "file save as - does not.

  Hi douglash21414001,

  I think maybe it's a coincidence, that nothing is installed with ExportPDF, so nothing should have changed your web browser. That said, you can clear the cache of the browser and then re-open your browser. (What browser do you use?)

  You can also try to restart your computer, if the browser is restarted does not solve the problem. But still, I don't think that this problem is related to the ExportPDF.

  Please let us know how it goes.

  Best,

• What is the sequence when a PDF file is generated?

  I would like to know the sequence of events when a PDF file is generated from InDesign CS4 using the Adobe PDF 7.0 printer. PostScript is involved somehow before the PDF is generated and I would like to have a better understanding of what is happening.

  Acrobat Help says:

  In an application such as Adobe InDesign, use the command print with the Adobe PDF printer to convert your file in Adobe PDF format. Your source document is converted to PostScript and sent directly to Distiller for conversion to PDF, without manually starting Distiller. Preferably current Distiller and Adobe PDF settings are used to convert the file.

  It is the a delicate, at least for me, because the explanation is confusing. My problem is the following: under InDesign > file > print > printer I have a PDF Adobe 7.0 (as well as my regular printers), and I don't know who 'Adobe PDF settings' are currently designated.

  QUESTION 1

  The expression of aid:

  Preferably current Distiller and Adobe PDF settings are used to convert the file

  is that the fact of Distiller > Preferences, and Distiller > settings Adobe PDF (the main window to distill)?

  QUESTION 2

  When I select the Adobe PDF 7.0 printer and press print, InDesign creates Postscript itself, or he asks using Acrobat or Distiller?

  QUESTION 3

  At some point before I get the PDF, a Postscript file will be launched, and it's "fairly directly to Distiller for conversion to PDF. At this stage, the Postscript file only is all the options that I asked in the print of InDesign dialog box (exit, Advanced Graphics, transparency and so on)? Or has there been some back-and-forth discussions between the Distiller (and its parameters) and InDesign (and its print settings) to solve all the conflicts?

  In short, is it correct to say that InDesign creates Postscript by itself (subject to its print settings), and then distilling takes Postscript from InDesign and converts it to PDF format (subject to its own parameters).

  Are you talking about export or print to PDF?

  Exported PDF files is not converted to postscript at all. It is exported

  directly to PDF using the libraries PDF internal.

  When you print to PDF, InDesign creates a postscript file, as it would

  What impression on any standard printer and Distiller converts that to

  PDF. Distiller simply acts as a virtual printer.

  The postscript created by InDesign file contains all the options work

  selected in InDesign - as would any postscript file everything

  printer.

  In summary, Yes.

  But you really should be export directly from InDesign and avoid

  the PostScript scene altogether...

• Grey outline around the objects when exporting to Photoshop

  Hello

  I have a strange issue when exporting with a simple badge that I'm working on Illustrator to Photoshop.

  Everything seems well within the Illustrator, but when I select my creation and copy and paste into Photoshop, then as a "dynamic object" or "pixels", I get a strange gray outline around the objects that should be hidden.

  I use the latest versions of Illustrator and Photoshop 2015 CC and their installation on Mac OSX El Capitan v. 10.11.3

  Edit: I noticed that the compression of the screenshots, it is difficult to see, but it should be very obvious if you download AI and try it yourself.

  I link to the file: http://bit.ly/1QhIi6i

  Best regards

  Rasmus

  

  

  

  

  I think that the problem is more on the side of Photoshop.

  Rasterize the objects in Illustrator; no visible lines.

  Pixelation in Photoshop; the Ant-aliasing artifacts.

  It is easy to reproduce: put a couple of black oval overlaid. Use Pathfinder > divide

  Now you have perfectly fitting distinct forms.

  Copy and paste into Photoshop; lines.

  Rasterize them (or use the pixelation effect) in Illustrator, copy and paste it into Photoshop. no lines.

• 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

  Interactive PDF is exported in is spreading by default, and the only way to change that is through the script. See Interactive PDF from InDesign CS5 has always Spreads on | InDesignSecrets

• [LIKE CS3] Export PDF from InCopy

  Hello

  I have created a simple Applescript that creates a PDF from InDesign using some parameters.

  I'm putting in place a similar script for our editors, who use InCopy.

  I can't understand how to specify the PDF export options in InCopy the way you can in InDesign.

  I need to specify that the view should be layout (no closet or article) and the page range.

  Any ideas?

  I learned Applescript mainly through watching the sample scripts provided with InDesign and writing scripts reading guide, but I can't find examples of what I need in the InCopy or the library documentation.

  Thank you!

• How to stop the menu showing "export pdf, create pdf, edit pdf, comment" etc

  How to stop the menu showing "export pdf, create pdf, edit pdf, comment" etc. which always appear on the right side of the screen every time I open a pdf file?  We do not pay for any of these functions and may not use it.  The menu takes a good amount of screen and is quite annoying to have to hide whenever I open a pdf file.

• Can't print PDF from InDesign after update Microsoft anni

  Hi all, since the anni update I was unable to print PDFS from InDesign. No matter if I put PDF for default printer or use the option "Microsoft in PDF format; what I get is: "printing error: Adobe Print Engine failed at the end of your data due to an unknown problem. Sometimes it will print a little less than half of a 60-page document and that's all - it fails (but I get a PDF of that half...). Sometimes, it just goes straight to the error.

  Anyone know what is happening on our how to fix? I have a deadline...

  See you soon

  Hi Dov, thanks for the reply. As mentioned earlier in this thread, I use export when I want to send it to the printing press. However, at this point, I am willing to create a test that is reduced file size and allows me to put all 60 pages of the document in a gap of seven pages using the print option of 3 x 3 thumbnails per page. It gives me a manageable file to send to several people for the document of proof and, at this stage, the output of high quality is not necessary.

  However, I seem to have solved my problem:

  As mentioned, the document prints 1-27 on a 60 page document (print, failed on page 28).

  The paper would not print the range 27-60, when I tried later.

  The document will print 30-60 range.

  Therefore, the problem lies in pages 27 and 28. I've got rid of the pdf linked to two pages and tried work a print - it worked. then, of course, my problem lies in one of the PDFs linked to each page 27 or 28. It turns out that when I opened the linked PDF (sent to me as a PDF from another company as an advertisement) on page 28 in PS, PS automatically rasterized image, I recorded to a location different, re-related in InDesign, and guess what - it worked. I got the impression that I asked who had already failed.

  So, this boiled down to a single work of art linked PDF requiring a pixelation...

  All the best

  Steve
