Select the layers when you export an Indesign book in PDF format?

Hello

I created a book consisting of separate Indesign files, each containing different languages. Each language is in a separate layer.

Then, I created 4 different book, each of which contains about 5 files. This makes me 4 pounds with all the languages spread over different layers. When I export the book in PDF format, I would like to be able to select the language layer, so I can create a PDF file by language. I can open each file to hide all layers of language except the one I want to export, but it is a tedious job.

I'm wandering if there is a faster way to export in PDF format each language without having to open and re - register each separate Indesign file.

Thanks for all the comments.

Why do you need to omit the French layer for a book in German?

Just export all the layers.

Then, in Acrobat, turn off the French (Italian, Spanish, English?) and leave Germany exposed.

Save as "Meine tollen deutschen Buchmarkt.pdf.

Then, turn off all the layers except the format, and then save it under "my book excellent francais.pdf.

I promise you that no one outside of a very few people will ever know that diapers with other languages hidden there. Almost anyone who uses Acrobat knows there is to all layers. (Except the brilliant people on this forum)

  • InDesign, merging the pages when you export to PDF

    Hello

    I'm sure I tried all the export options when exporting to PDF of my InDesign document, but for some reason, the pages keep merging (2 pages of singles coming out like one).

    Here is the screenshot of the result:

    And here's what I have in InDesign:

    As you can see, they are certainly different pages. I tried simple, single page continuous... etc.

  • InDesign crashing when you export a great book

    I have a big InDesign book (159 records) who recently started crashing when I export all. The book was created years ago, and I can't understand what would cause this issue all of a sudden. Originally, I thought it was due to related referrals, I've recently added, because there the only thing that's changed on the book. But I removed all the cross references, and I always have the same question. I can export the first half of the book, the second half of the book, or even 3/4 of the book successfully. It's only when I try to export all what InDesign crashes.

    I use the latest version of InDesign CS 5.5 on OS X 10.8.2.

    I have another discussion posted on this (http://forums.adobe.com/message/5132896), but decided to start a new thread because the other was on referrals. Towards the end of this discussion, people started suggesting that it was only a problem with my computer - I don't have enough free space, etc. But I had my company IT guy look at the activity monitor, while I tried to export the book, and he assured me that my computer is completely capable to complete the export. This makes sense to me because I've always been able to export the book using that computer, and the book did not much larger or more complex.

    A solution we found was to export the book as an interactive PDF instead of a PDF print. However, I was fighting more "BOLD" text on pages with transparency for years and export as interactive PDF seems to make this much worse. (For more information about this issue, see the following thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/421267.)

    There is someone smarter than me who has a guess as to why I was able to export the book as an interactive PDF, but not as a PDF print? I hope that this new information will help in the fracas of troubleshooting.

    Eureka! I've recreated the book from scratch, and I can export fine now. The book file must have been corrupted.

    He sat at the bottom of my list of things to try all the time, but I never thought it would be the solution. I hope that if someone else has this problem, they fall upon this and try this first place last!

  • When you save a Word document to PDF format, how can I do NOT to incorporate fonts (essentially save as image only)?

    When I 'print' a Word document to PDF fonts are included.  I guess that in doing so, it is then possible to make the file editable.  If I take a picture of my document and save it as a PDF, then obviously, the fonts are not included.  I want to have one PDF file like the other, but the document is hundreds of pages long I don't really want to take a picture of each page.  Y at - he made another way saved PDF and take the embed fonts?

    Thank you!

    If you don't have Acrobat, but the free player. You can't do it with this application.

  • Linked with overlays seems well on the PC when you export to PDF, but Mac horribly distorts the color?

    I'm in a draft. File to HAVE it in my. INDD on PC and it is beautiful! I export the PDF file, send to my supervisor, who is on a Mac, and it seems like garbage!

    Beautiful, bright and beautiful!

    incorrect.jpg

    I think this was shot in a dumpster...

    What is going on?  When my supervisor tried to print it, he is always out like that, but when I print it, that's fine.

    A little about the. : File is a gradient mesh with multiple layers of semi-transparent bunk reasons, "soft light."  The files are placed in the form of links in the InDesign file.  They have matching color profiles. I also tried with the link in case that is the question.  I am at a loss.

    PS the quote above is not an indication of my feelings towards Adobe. It happened to be in the document, I'm trying.

    I bet it is visualized in the Mac preview. Ask your boss to watch it in Acrobat or Reader.

    Any ideas why this happens?

    No, I'm using a trial version of CC for the moment

    Anyway - finally it exported OK - when I used the option of fixed provision - which is very good on iBooks, but does not open in Adobe reader (technically, it opens but nothing appears)

  • Compression setting specific to the image when you export to PDF

    I have a document with about 15 images 48pp some files .ai, .psd files and .tiff files placed in it.

    Is it possible that I can use jpeg compression on all images except one where I want to ZIP compress to keep all the details in an image of the card which is placed as a .psd ATM? The only thing I can think is to export all the separate bits in the form of files tiff/jpeg card images and select no compression in the export dialog, this reduces the flexibility in the production phase and is a chore, I prefer to be without future workflows.

    Not at once. You can first export all the pages with a standard compression and then a page with different settings and later merge/replace in Acrobat.

  • How do you turn off the phone when you export HTML files?

    Hello

    I am currently managing this site Adobe Muse. I am also working on the phone right now too, but its not completely finished site. While I work on the site of phone, I also do updates on regular desktop site. Updates on the site Office me posted so I'm working on the phone, but I don't want to download the site phone should still live until its done. I tried to delete all the phone folder, but it ends up just break the site. I hope that there is a button option "Do not export phone site", but this is perhaps too good to be true. Any suggestions?

    Thank you

    Rob.

    Hello Fowel Christ,

    Go to file > Site Properties > Layout > phone > uncheck "desktop Redirection.

    This will disable the redirection. Phone site is exported, but the redirection will not occur. So if a person visits your domain on a phone site so only the desktop version would be responsible.

    Note: If anyone has the url of the page phone then only he will be able to access the phone site.

    Kind regards

  • Validate the form before you submit by e-mail in pdf format

  • Nonprinting buttons appearing in the wrong order when you export to interactive PDF!

    I am a customizable holiday gift certificate creating generic view on our website for download. I create using InDesign CS6. The idea is that the interactive PDF can be opened in the reader, one of the six charts of certificate can be selected (via the radial buttons that hide/show graphics that have been converted into buttons), and various text fields can be filled in. Then, the certificate can be printed and cropped. I have all the interactive elements, works very well, including the "print" key. The interactive PDF looks like this:

    Waste_Free_Certificates_correct.jpg

    However, when printing, I would ONLY the certificates and the fields of text to print and not the instructions, header, or radial buttons selection certificate or full color, background. The point of this is so that the user doesn't lose the ink. I want to print like this:

    Waste_Free_Certificates_printed.jpg

    At first I tried to make nonprinting objects, but which also shows them not when exported to interactive PDF. I then tried the same thing by putting on another layer and uncheck "print layer" (but check "show layer"), but I came across the same result. After searching the forums, I discovered that the only way to make these nonprinting elements, yet still visible in the interactive PDF, is to convert each object to a button and then uncheck the "Printable" box in the window buttons and forms. I did, and now everything seems to work fine...

    Except that when you export, export buttons in order of stacking poorly, like this:

    Waste_Free_Certificates_wrong.jpg

    This color background continues to go on in front of all the rest. Even if I put it on it's very own layer under layer with all other charts (converted to buttons) on this subject, he always appears in front of all the other buttons. It is the same whether or not I have check the box create Acrobat layers. What the devil I'm doing wrong?

  • with the master page "insert current page number" error when you export the book

    Using InDesign CS for Windows 5.5

    Recently updated for InDesign CS (very old one from 2003). I save a copy of all my old files version and kept the old installed ID just in case (after reading all the horror stories on here).

    In my old version of ID, I created a book consisting of some 70 documents. Some of these documents are a single page, while others have multiple pages. In the multiple documents page, I used the "insert... current page number" character (or whatever the command was in the old version) on a page master and formatted as follows, for example: Page 1 of 17, Page 2 of 17, Page 3 of 17, etc. When I exported my book in pdf format, it worked fine. (I is not have to / want page numbers consecutive throughout the book, only in individual documents.) By that I mean my whole book is about 280 pages, but not all of these 280 pages are numbered, only groups of pages in multi-page documents. It is not read page 1-280).

    Am my upgrade to 5.5 a few months ago added some documents in the book, and (if I remember correctly) when I saved the book he asked to convert each document version to the new version, I said OK. When I exported the book in pdf format, some documents that are more than 2 pages are now counted wrong; the numbers are now like this: Page 1 of 17, Page 2 of 17, Page 2 of 17 (supposed to be page 3), Page 2 of 17 (supposed to be page 4), etc. Each page, but page 1 is now page 2 of that either.

    If I open the individual document and export it to PDF, the page numbers work very well. It is only when the document is exported with the book the page numbers to spoil. And it's not all documents in my book; This error starts to a particular document and continues from there throughout the rest of the book, affecting any document more than 2 pages. Documents several pages before that point in the book for export with the correct page numbers.

    I create new documents by performing a "save under" with a previously created document and cut and paste as needed, so I won't have to reformat or implement the page numbers on each new document. I use layers or styles (I do not know there is a better way to do what I need, but I didn't have time to learn the basics, just enough to be functional.)

    My attempts to resolve this problem so far (using version 5.5), tests with the first document where the error: (1) I have removed the document from the book, removed the page number character current insert, back to the current page number character insert, saved, the individual document exported in pdf format and it worked fine. Put it in the book, save, export, and it is bad. (2) I picked up the book document, export the document to .idml, registered as a new .indd new name, exported to PDF and it worked fine. Put it in the book, save, export, and it is bad. (3) I started to the top of my old version of ID, open from the previous version of this document, exported .inx, closed, open the .inx in ID 5.5, registered as a new .indd new name, exported to PDF and it worked fine. Put it in the book, save, export, and it is bad. (4) I moved the document to the top in the order book, put it on a document which correctly numbered pages, saved, exported to PDF and this document was still evil, but one who has been numbered correctly all along is still correct. (5) I compared the settings for this document to others that the number properly and found no difference.

    It's as if the page numbers get hooked on "2" when I export the book, but only in the last two-thirds of the book. Sorry this is so long, but I hope that this description of my problem is understandable. Any advice, other than to go back to my old version documents and start over?

    Thank you for your time and all the information great this forum provides.

    Alice

    Normally, I would say that this kind of problem is symptomatic of the incorrect numbering options in the book panel or an individual document or a bad update of the numbering, and those things are still definitely worth looking at.

    That said, I invite you to go to the original files, export each one to .inx and open those in CS5.5 and save as a new file .indd CS5.5 whose new name, then add them to a whole new book CS5.5. Books are pretty flakey without mixture in the conversion of files, and there are enough bad behvior file conversion directly inherited the .inx route is insurance a little success.

  • How do I make the "REVERB" effect when you export the multitrack mixer?

    How do I make the "REVERB" effect when you export the multitrack mixer?

    The pre-rendered in multitrack view tool is the tilde to bit at the bottom of the effects rack lightning bolt.  Select the range that you have pre-made and click on the button that will turn blue when activated.

    Alternatively, you can go to the sight of waveform on the track, you need to pre render, apply the effect, and use the Save command as (with a new name) to save the new version and keep the original.  Less elegant than pre rendered but sometimes useful.
