1. PDF Exporting blank Docs - Using Catalina 10.15.7 and Indesign 16.0.1

   Created file like normal. Everything is set like it should be for the printer, CMYK, no missing links etc. Export as a PDF/x-1a. Creates a blank document. I tried to create a pdf with a separate document with just text, still exports blank. Tried it with just a colored box and same issue.Everything is blank! I also tried Saving the file as a JPEG and it too is blank!

   In ID2021, when I export this document as single pages in interactive mode, it exports as spreads. When I save as IDML and open in 2020, it works.

5. interactive pdf

   I placed a PDF which has hyperlinks as a linked file in an InDesign document. When I exported the InDesign document as an interactive PDF, the hyperlinks in the placed PDF didn't work, but the hyperlinks in the rest of the document did.

6. Do not use Osaka font for PDF page information

   When exporting a PDF with the Japanese version of InDesign for Mac, the Osaka font is used for the characters in the page information. If there are voiced or semi-voiced sound marks of Japanese characters in the file name, an error will be displayed and the characters will be garbled because Osaka does not support those characters.

   1. Name the indd file "だじづでど.indd".
   2. Export the PDF.
   3. An error is displayed and the file name of the page information is garbled.

   Osaka is no longer a very old font on the Mac. Don't use Osaka now.

   Use a font that supports semi-voiced sound marks to prevent errors. Illustrator already uses KozGoPr6N-Regular to prevent errors.

   Japanese:
   PDFのページ情報にOsakaフォントを使わないでください

   日本語版のMac版InDesignでPDFを書き出すと、ページ情報の文字にOsakaフォントが使われます。ファイル名に日本語の文字の濁音や半濁点があると、Osakaがそれらの文字に非対応なので、エラーが表示され、文字化けします。

   1. inddのファイル名を「だじづでど.indd」にします。
   2. PDFを書き出します。
   3. エラーが表示され、ページ情報のファイル名が文字化けします。

   MacではもはやOsakaはとても古いフォントです。今はOsakaを使わないでください。

   半濁点に対応したフォントにして、エラーを防いでください。IllustratorはKozGoPr6N-Regularを使ってすでにエラーを防いでいます。

7. Cannot Export in PDF format

   Adobe InDesign version: 16.0.1 x64

   Platform: Windows 10, Version 20H2 (build SO 19042.685)

   Problem:
   Suddenly, from a couple of days, I cannot export in PDF format anymore.
   When trying to export a file, I receive the message "Failed to Export PDF" (or something similar, I use the Italian version) – see image 1.

   It doesn’t matter the settings in the export window, I tried almost all the combinations, but the PDF generation fails.
   I can export in.jpeg, for example, but it is not useful for me.

   Infos:
   The same file has been successfully exported just a couple of hours before.
   The only change in the tool / PC configuration was the re-installation of a font type (specifically, the Conduit ITC Pro).
   I re-installed it because, even if it was correctly installed, I was not able to see the text in that specific font in InDesign.
   I un-installed it and then re-installed it via the Windows settings (Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Fonts).
   The font was not an Adobe Font.
   After that, everything seemed to be solved, but I was unable to export the file in PDF.
   I noticed that the font was listed three times in the “Find/replace Font” window (see image 2).

   So, I replaced the font with the same one and then the list presented just one instance.
   Solved! In this way, I’ve been able to export the file.

   Then, I tried with another file, but I encountered the same problem with another font.
   In this case, it is a font used in the header of a master page and the text is a “text variable” that I use to identify the product name.
   Also in this case, the text is not displayed, even if the font is available in the font list (see image 3).

   If I change the font, the text is displayed (see image 4).

   The font, in this case, is an Adobe Font (see image 5).

   The font is correctly “activated” and available in the Creative Cloud Desktop app (see image 6).

   And also in Windows (Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Fonts), it is correctly displayed and recognized (see image 7).

   I solved replacing the font and checking the "Redefine Style When Changing All” box, because several paragraph styles use the same font, but I’d need to use this font.
   In another PC, with the same configuration, everything works well.
   What can I do to solve this font issue? Why has it happened?

   Thx for the support

10. Accessibility Alternate Text Issues in Acrobat

    The file is designed where certain graphic elements are grouped together to make editing easier for others. In this case, horizontal dividers are made from two basic rectangles and a text box, grouped together.

    Each rectangle shape is tagged as "horizontal divider" in the export options for accessibility. When I export to PDF and run the full accessibility check, I'm told that the group failed the "figures alternate text" test.

    I then apply alternate text to the group in the export options. I run the full accessibility check in Acrobat and I am told that everything inside the group failed the "nested alternate text" test.

    I remove the alternate text from the rectangles, export, run the full accessibility test, and I'm told the rectangles failed the "figures alternate text" test.

    The bug is that no matter how the file is set up, it can't pass the full accessibility test. If I include the alt text, I get an error that alt text is nested and that I need to remove the alt text. When I remove the alt text, I get an error saying that alt text is needed. I either get one error or the other.

    While this could be fixed in Acrobat if it were a one or two page document, these horizontal rules exist across hundreds of pages and there should be a way to set it up in InDesign so that they export with the correct alternate text applied to them so it passes the accessibility full check.

14. export to PDF failed in ID v16 with macOS BigSur

    I'm having problems exporting to PDF since the macOS Big Sur update 11.0.1 (the official one). I also updated to InDesign 2021 (v16.0) and the computer is almost new. It keeps crashing or freezes with the beachball every time I try to export. I have already tried the obvious, changing the preferences at the export panel and deleting the software preferences (with cmd+ctrl+alt+shift). I'm looking for a way to solve this. Please help!

15. Text formatting can break backlinking endnote texts to endnote refs when exported to PDF (Print)

    Hi together,
    to explain the issue:

    Sometimes backling from endnote text to endnote reference number will not work.

    To make it work at all I found the following minimum requirements for PDF export:

    PDF Export (Print)

    Compatibility: Acrobat 5 (PDF 1.4)

    [x] Create Tagged PDF

    [x] Hyperlinks enabled

    Even with that sometimes only linking from the endnote reference number to the endnote text will work, but not backlinking from the endnote number in the endnote text to the reference in the main text.

    What I found:

    If you want linking back from the endnote number at the start of the endnote text you have to be careful with formatting of that endnote number which in fact is a special character.

    WHAT WORKED:

    The endnote is using a paragraph style without any specialities. No overrides, no character styles applied:

    RESULT: No issue with linking back and forth between endnote reference number and number in the endnote text.

    Now I had the idea to format that special character, the number that starts the endnote text with a character style.

    RESULT: Linking from the endnote reference number to the endnote text worked. BACKLINKING DID NOT WORK.

    MORE DETAILS IN THIS THREAD:

    Endnotes not exporting with links to PDF
    Mr_Wonderstuff, Nov 18, 2020

    https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/endnotes-not-exporting-with-links-to-pdf/m-p/11628582#M40545...

    https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/endnotes-not-exporting-with-links-to-pdf/m-p/11628643#M40546...

    WHAT BROKE THE BACKLINKING:

    [1] Character style applied through a GREP Style

    [2] Character style applied directly as formatting

    [3] Properties directly applied as overrides without a character style

    WHAT FINALLY WORKED:

    [4] Character style applied as nested style through the applied paragraph style:

    Character style to 1 tabulator character

    I did not test on to eliminate other factors.

    Maybe one of the used properties are the real culprit?

    What I defined in that character style and also tried to apply as character override was:

    Character width and height: 70%

    Baseline Offset: 2 Pt

    Fill Color: "C=100 M=0 Y=0 K=0"

20. Interactive pdf export adds %0D to the end of links

I tried other people's suggestions of making sure no spaces or returns were at the end or adding a / to the end of the link, but still nothing worked. I finally gave up on InDesign and just manually added the links in Acrobat after exporting. But that is not a good solution. Please fix this Adobe. My version is 16.0.
