Exporting PDF from InDesign to an encrypted folder fails
We have an enxrypted folder on our NAS. We use BoxCryptor to encrypt and access these documents.
When we open a document in InDesign and try to export it to the same (encrypted) folder we get an error and the PDF is not created. The error mentions the background task not being able to export.
Exporting the PDF to a different location (not encrypted folder) works OK. So I guess the encrypted folder is the cause. The worksaround is to just save the folder somewhere else, and then move it to the encrypted folder. So we can manage ;-)
But…

password protection makes it impossible to watch PDF on iOS
There is a bug in exporting a protected PDF to iOS Adobe Acrobat Reader. If I put a password protection for printing, text editing and content coping in the PDF, the Acrobat Reader on iOS can't show the file. The app crashes or every (!) page needs between 4 and 7 minutes to show up. Within this 4-7 minutes the page is simply grey or white. If I export the same InDesign document without password protection, the iOS Adobe Reader shows it perfectly and normal. As a workaround I exported it without password protection, opened on the Mac in Acrobat…

export to PDF
Why has the export changed?
Exporting the catalog directly from InDesign in August 2019 was 6MB.
Why, the same catalog, export Jan 2020 is 35 MB?
Everything is fine, same setting, quality, .. but the size is bigger and it is impossible to get to the original size.1 vote -
Wrong Swedish translation (greyscale downsampling) - very old bug!
InDesign 15.0.1
MacOS 10.15.2The word "under" marked with red should say "över" not "under".
There should be three "över" "över" "över".
The English version use "above" "above" "above".
The Swedish version of Illustrator and Acrobat use "över" "över" "över".It's a clear mistake in the translation. No debate needed.
I found the file below with Google. It's made in 2005 with InDesign CS. The same error can be seen at page 20.
https://docendo.se/ovningsfiler/Färghantering.pdfSo it's a stupid irritating error in the Swedish translation that no-one ever bothered to fix.
Could you please just do it now?

lose tags from masterpage when export to pdf
Hi, created a masterpage with footer text. Tagged the text as H6. Exported to pdf. Lost all tags. The only way to keep the tags is to place the text as regular text on all pages. Gone is auto numbering pages and the idea of a masterpage.
Please fix this bug. I use Indesign 15.01 x64 (Windows)1 vote -

Export stops at 0%
Exporting common documents often results in a "crash" at 0%. No error comes up, it just stays at 0% indefinitely.
If I try stop the export I can't, if I try close InDesign I can't. I have to force quit the program and open it numerous times following in order to get all of my fonts back and registered... even if it's in a package.
Extremely time consuming and painful.
1 voteHi,
Can you please share a sample INDD file at rdubey@adobe.com with which issue is reproducible?We tried with some custom InDesign files, but export works fine
Thanks

Output intent broken in 2020
Seems that Indesign 2020 shouldn't have been released since one of the most important things is broken.
We tell our customers to use PDF/X4 to export pdf's so that we get a correct output intent profile in the pdf.
The problem is that it doesn't seem to matter what color settings I have, the output intent is always set to US Web Coated in the Output tab of the export window. So now everyone has to change the output profile manually in the output tab to the color profile setup in color settings. This is really bad and alot of…1 voteIt looks like the Synchronize Color Settings in Bridge was not syncing the color settings in InDesign. Changing the settings once again in Bridge sorted out the issue of synchronization.
Based on this information, closing the thread.
Thank you Anders for prompt back & forth communication and help in troubleshooting the glitch.—

Easier way for artists who dont understand prepress to provide print ready pdf proofs with the correct settings that match pressready or digital print without causing issues. Reduces issues with colors or layering not set correctly by the artist.

empty pdf
Bonjour, J'utilise votre logiciel Indesign pour un publipostage avec environ 350 lettres. Mon publipostage est terminé et j'aimerais exporter en PDF mon travail. Malheureusement, à chaque fois que je l'exporte et que j'essaie de l'ouvrir, un message d'erreur apparait "le fichier n'a pas pu être ouvert car il est vide". Avez-vous une explication ?
