  1. lexmark printer not printing all elements

    We use Lexmark Laser Printer model CS820
    Windows 10 OS

    We use our indesign file as a template to print custom certificates.
    We change the name on the certificate for each customer.
    The printer will not print all elements of a design: i.e. the images and text are missing.

    And

    Files will often not print immediately but will 'sit' in the printer memory for up to several minutes before printing.

    For a print business this is not acceptable. Please advise with working solutions.

    We have a Lexmark CS827 and this works fine.

  6. Get error message when exporting document to PDF

    InDesign CC2018 (13.1) -- will get an error message when exporting a document to PDF, especially if it is saving over and replacing a previous PDF version. Then both versions disappear from the finder, and then I can sometimes successfully export the document. Usually takes a couple of attempts before it can export a viable PDF. This just started happening.

  9. Bug: Print Thumbnails adds unwanted pagenumbers and numbers overlap pages

    Hi! When choosing Print & printer Adobe PDF & Thumbnails, the output file has page numbers which I do not want. There is no option to disable those.

    Also the page numbers are mislocated: they overlap the pages instead of being tidely above/under each page.

  11. Imprimir folleto

    Imprimir folleto "cosido" prepara las paginas para la encuadernacion cosida o acaballada, la previsualizacion es correcta. Pero al imprimir, desordena las paginas y el compaginado resultante es erroneo.
    Nota: Probé tambien actualizando a la ultima versión de InDesign, pero sigue el mismo problema.

  14. Path to images in linked InDesign documents not adjusted when packaged

    I have packaged an InDesign document with linked InDesign documents for the printer. The images inside the packaged InDesign files have the wrong path, it has not been adjusted to the packaged images.

    Our printer has printed the product therefor without the linked images which is a desaster. Please fix linked image paths within linked InDesign documents.

  15. Stock image names are too long

    When using licensed Adobe stock images, the names from the catalog are entered as the file name which causes the files to not be able to be packaged, resulting in an error. I suggest making it so that the files enter the library as Stock #s instead to avoid this issue.

  18. Package doesn't include some fonts

    When a supplied InDesign package with ALL necessary Document Fonts is re-packaged for distribution NOT ALL of those Fonts previously included will be re-packaged.

    So, pretty much after the new package is created you have to compare the Document Fonts folders between the 2 to see which fonts are missing, or look through the new packaged document to see which ones are indeed missing.

  19. dashed lines

    Hi I'm just wondering what could be causing dashed lines to print with 'ticks'? The file exports to PDF showing as normal (first image) but prints dashed lines as shown in the second image.

    The same thing happens (randomly) with images created in Illustrator as well as boxes created in Indesign.
    thanks
