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...

  • 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):

    Screen Shot 2014-12-22 at 4.31.47 PM.png

    Here's a PDF of screen capture:

    Screen Shot 2014-12-22 at 4.32.52 PM.png

    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.

  • 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

    Karen

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

  • 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?

  • Background missing when exporting indesign to PDF

    Sometimes, when I export a file from indesign to PDF, my background does not appear. The background is just a block of solid color or gradient. The background color block is usually the size of the page. I tried to play to see what is the cause for this and sometimes if I reduce the size of the block to say, 1/3 of the page then the color block appears, but then when I do the size of the page that I actually need it to be, the color block does not appear when I export it in pdf format (I tried all the presets different pdf and it's not a difference)?  Anyone know why and how to remedy?

    Thank you!

    Check your Acrobat preferences: Edit > Preferences, then click on accessibility and make sure "Replace Document colors" is NOT checked.

  • PDF file generated from Reporting SERVICES hangs when opened in Adobe reader 11 and saved as with "optimized for fast web view."

    Large pdf (over 1000 pages) generated files form SSRS crashes when opened in Adobe reader 11 and saved as with "Optimized for fast web view" activated. This saves fine with disabling this option. However, our customers are not ready to accept this solution because they do not want to change any settings. Please suggest if we should create a ticket with microsoft for SSRS allow the generation of pdf quick display of Web pages or is it an option in Adobe to fix this problem without changing the settings.

    The SSRS file has Fast Web View: 'No' and that's how Microsoft SSRS generates these files.

    Thank you for the complete maxwyss response

    As you have indicated, the PDF SSRS seems to have some elements that are quite similar to be supported for fast web view.

    We asked customers to disable the fast web view, but the customer is big enough to make a change individually on their machines and so were looking for a solution.

    I saw in several forums and a few discussions here as well as disable the fast web view option works for pdf fails.

    Which was just wondering if its known that multiple PDFs genarted by third parties may have problems with the optimization, the Save as optimized for fast web view could be disabled by default installation of acrobat reader rather than be enabled by default

    Thanks again for the reply!

  • 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.

    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(

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

No report or the newspapers that I see. I was working with these files with InDesign CS6 on another machine yesterday.
