I have a multiple documents in a InDesign book. Each document has several page hyperlinks between all of the documents. I have exported this in the past and everything worked fine. Since updating to CC2018 the page hyperlinks no longer work. They all default to page 1.

I had to update some image links and make some text changes so the books and documents are all now in CC2018. I do not see a way to save the indb file as a idml so I think I am stuck on CC 2018.

I am exporting as a print pdf and have the hyperlinks clicked on. If I try to export at a interactive pdf I get a fatal error that shuts down InDesign.

Version: Indesign CC 2017.1. Same behaviour in both Windows 7 and El Capitan 10.11.6.

Steps to reproduce: Create a layout file and a tab delimited text file like the ones seen on the info images.

Expected result: A pdf with the same data as the text file and preview.

Actual result: A pdf with its first record correct, but the following two incorrect. See description image.

Solutions/workarounds

1. Decrease the column names number of characters and/or make sure no placeholder has overset text (used solution).

2. Create a merged document. The values seem to work as expected then (this solution was not possible in my case).

Misc info

Although making sure there are no overset text frames seems to fix the problem there were many text frames like that in the actual layout, and all except one of them worked as expected. The data itself fit the frames without any problem and no overset warning is shown after the export.

Provided are the actual test files as well. Se file ”data_merge_bug_files.zip”.

A really nasty bug since the preview should definitely not differ from the actual output.

When exporting a PDF all profiles equal to the Output-Intend (which in my case is the Document-Colorspace PSO Coated V3) get lost when exporting.

I have created a small test-file with an PSO Coated V3 Image and an ISO Coated V2 Image.

When Exporting as PDF X4 with Output-Intend Set to PSO Coated V3 the Image that IS PSO Coated V3 looses its profile and the same for the ISO Coated V2 when the Output-Intend is set to that.

This is horrible for Colormanagement. I've been in contact with "Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG" and they suggested to report this to Adobe as a bug.

They way it is you can not differenciate between images that don't have a profile and images that already have the correct profile. As a result all images get converted again in prepress - even those that already are in the correct profile.

If you have any further questions feel free to ask and i'll help out as good as i can :)

Thanks!

Not sure if this is a bug or intended but I don't think I have had this before as I have saved this file in the past for printing.

InDesign Vers. 14.0.3

White vector object (outlined text in InDesign not Linked/Placed) is changed to an RGB object when exported as a PDF from InDesign using PDF/X 2008 No Conversion Lab Ink Manager Values for Pantones are Lab for Spots & Convert all Pantones to CMYK.

Tried a test using the Save for Print default setting and it came out fine, as well as testing the Output Color Conversion set to Convert to Destination (Swop) preserve numbers which also did not produce the object as RGD. I tested using the paper colour as well as setting it as CMYK 0000 for the colour.

My colour settings are set to N/A general purpose.

If this was a placed object that was RGB white I could understand it not converting to CMYK if I didn't have convert to destination turned on but it is an InDesign Object that is coloured in InDesign using CMYK white.

Am I missing something?

I have attached my PDF Export job options file. It is basically a standard PDX/X 2008 with the addition of bleed and crop settings. My colour settings are set to N/A general purpose.

Using CC InDesign 2019 14.0.3 on a Mojave 10.14.6 MacBookPro

For some unknown reason, for the last 3 months or so every time I export a pdf with any print marks, the page size is increased by 4.4mm on every side of the page ... eg I set up a document as A4 (297x210mm) with a 3mm bleed, set my content and then export it with print marks I get a 4.4mm increase on each side of every page - ie the resulting document size is 311.8 x 224.8mm instead of 303 x 216mm

This causes major issues with submitting files online for printers that use automated systems as the file is rejected as the wrong size.

I've spoken to support and apparently this is a known issue, but PLEASE FIX IT ASAP - TIA!
