1. Effects appearing in wrong place when exported to PDF

   My Case Number: ADB-6422050-V1R6

   I've been exporting a document which uses the bevel/emboss effect. Part of the element is outside of the frame of the document. The effect on the part of the element outside the frame is being moved into the frame when I export it into a PDF. In the screenshot, you will see that in InDesign, the yellow pad is completely yellow on the left inside the frame of the document, but the edge of the image outside the frame is white; when you view in preview mode you don't see the white. However, in the screenshot of the PDF, you will see white on the left edge of the yellow pad, which does not appear in InDesign. There's no reason for it to be in the PDF.

   Thank you.

2. Indesign 14.0.1 pixellated output in export to PDF

   Indesign 14.0.1
   Export to PDF using press quality job option does not produce high quality images the way the previous version used to do and all ends up pixellated at screen resolution only. The only way I know of producing press ready files is now to "package book for print", in which case, if you select your usual press ready PDF option, the conversion definitely works.

3. Accessibility-Tag Tree-Data Merge

   ID 14.0.1, Mac Pro, Sierra 10.12.6
   Tags are not in proper order in exported PDF
   Using Data Merge to create many pages of text and table from large Excel file Col A-FF. Each row produces one page. The first section of the page tags are at the top of the tag tree, followed by the first section of each successive page. Then the Next tags (from the tables) are listed, again by successive pages.
   To remediate, all (table) tags have to be moved to the proper page.

4. PDF fails to export InDesign 14.0.1 - Still an issue

   So many bugs in InDesign!!!

   1) Export to PDF (any settings) works once after starting InDesign. Then fails on any attempt to re-export. Which ever preset I use - error. Nothing special about the file - nothing!

   2) Also, and I know it's not about PDF, Keyboard shortcut to start a New Document does not work on startup. I have to click on file menu and open the sub menu item New – then the shortcut works :| No error – nothing! It just does not respond to shortcuts.

   BTW: Posting this by clicking "Post idea" does not mean that this is an idea - it is an ongoing irritation about updates from Adobe that does not work and #%&$%#..-up my work!

5. table header image not showing PDF

   https://indd.adobe.com/view/029f4fe9-1108-4554-ba34-c8e4c510750c
   Use the link to see the document all correct however when exporting to PDF the images in the header for pages 2 & 3 disappear. You can test this using the link or by using the attached file. Both get the same result. But looks perfect in inDesign.

6. Bad PDF Export to x1a with indd placed in InDesign

   • problem in InDesign CC2019 / macOS 10.14.3, 10.13.9
   • no problem with previous InDesign versions (on 10.13 systems)

   Sometimes i use InDesign document (page) placed into another InDesign document (because more work with some pages and reuse them in more documents). If these placed Indd documents contains RGB images with transparencies (like transparency in PSD files, or transparency effects applied to flat images in InDesign), these images are exported very bad, highly desaturated. But only when export to PDF X1a (required by our printer, i use profile "ISO Coated v2 300% (ECI)" in all indd). No problem when exporting to higher PDF versions like X-4 (even with Colour Conversion set to "Convert to Destination (Preserve Numbers)").

   Now i solve this by exporting to PDF X-4 and use this PDF instead of direct indd placing to main document, but this is another step (was more practical use indd in indd, and when changes required, just "Edit original" and save, now are more steps needed like find original indd document in Finder and update PDF for update in main document).

   I also tried export main document as X-4 and then flat this in Acrobat using Preflight, but have not found option to use "ISO Coated v2 300% (ECI)" profile and also it took long time (and crashed Acrobat).

   Please, is it possible to fix InDesign 2019 for proper x1a PDF export (with placed indd documents with transparent rgb images)? It worked OK in older InDesign.

7. Profiles conversion doesn't work anymore with InDesign export PDF

   Hello,
   Sorry for my approximative english.
   It's no longer possible to do high-res PDF export from InDesign because it doesn't convert color profiles correctly (it seems InDesign consider there is no profil on imported documents). Same conversions works fine on Photoshop.
   We use InDesign CC 14.0.1 and joboptions we made (PDF/X-1a:2001 - Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3) - convert to destination : ISO Coated V2) with Bridge coordination.
   We're a big french comic books publisher and it's a very important problem for our workflow.
   It's like a bug, I try some things I found on forums, but nothing works (delete all preferences and reinstall Bridge...), but maybe I missed something.
   Anybody would have an idea to fix it?
   Adobe team, please help us to solve this big problem.
   Best

8. Export options locked

   Hi., When customising the Workspace [ i.e. colouring menus and adding Panels to the Panel Dock ] on an Apple Mac, and then subsequently using File->Export, the Drop down list of Export formats are locked out [ i.e. I cannot go from PDF Print to any other format ]. To resolve I have to go back to one of the default Workspaces such as Essentials etc, and then the Dropdown can be accessed. This happens in all recent releases of InDesign including 2019. I imagine the root cause of the fault is more the colouring of the menus rather than docking extra panels to the right of the screen [ when customising the workspace ]

9. InDesign exporting wrong PDF size

   Jan. 18, 2019

   My document settings in InDesign are 3.66x8.5.
   When I export to any type of PDF it shows as being 4x9
   No bleed, no slug. I know sometimes the numbers are rounded up when you look at the size on a PDF but this is odd.

   When I do a test with a document size of 3x8 I'm still getting a 4x9.
   Why?

10. Gradient background missing when export as PDF

    I just updated to the 2019 version of Adobe InDesign and was sent a file that was created with the same version. Some of the background was made using a gradient and disappears (becomes white) when I export to PDF. My colleague is able export and retain the gradient no problem, so it seems like it is a bug or setting that got changed. My InDesign expert colleagues tried basic troubleshooting and couldn't find the answer, so it doesn't seem to be obvious. Any ideas? Thanks!

11. Unable to export to pdf

    Hi there, I am unable to package some of the InDesign files I am working on at the moment. It shows the error messages attached. Initially, it showed a conversion error however now this no longer shows and it just refuses to allow me to export to pdf and therefore package the document. I have no idea how to fix the issue as it doesn't give any indication at to why it isn't working which is super frustrating.

12. booklet

    Hi there, I have a problem too with my exported PDF out of PS when printing a booklet. No matter what settings I run the PDF will come out in portrait aspect ratio and not in landscape when I print as DEVICE INDEPENDENT. Mine is a booklet half Letter, classic 2 staples in the fold (5 pages front & back, 4cl.). I can print it 8.5''x11'' but not with bleed and crop marks. Any idea why, please? Thank you! (This problem was not in 2018 version).

14. [CS6-CC2018][MAJOR BUG] Images upscaled in flattened PDF-files when placed over gradient

    Hi,

    With this post I would like to report a major bug in Indesign.

    The problem occurs in these conditions:
    - A gradient background
    - On top of the background product images containing clipping masks / transparency. The images have insufficiënt resolution (105ppi).

    When creating a flattened PDF-file (1.3) using the default PDF export feature, and valid high resolution export presets, all images which have a resolution higher then 75ppi, are upscaled in the final PDF-file. Images which are 105 ppi, are suddenly 300ppi in the final PDF-file. Images which an effection resolution of 75 ppi, remain 75 ppi.

    After doing some tests, the resolution value entered in the "Gradient and mesh resolution" field located in the flattener presets, seems to be used when flattening the file.

    This becomes a big issue when trying to validate PDF-files using Acrobat Preflight, Pitstop, Pitstop server or any other workflow solution. Low resolution images are no longer detected as low resolution and are passing trough any PDF workflow validation process.

    This issue could be replicated all to way back to version CS6.

    Indesign should never upscale images and always keep the original resolution, as long it doesn't exceed the max resolution defined in the PDF-export setting. If flattening should occur, it should generate images which have a resolution equal to the resolution of the images which has the lowest resolution, located in that same location.

15. Font outlined when exporting to pdf

    When I export to pdf and open the document in Acrobat, I have no issues with fonts. But, if I want to open the file in Illustrator (we have a special procedure to add the pdf file to one drawing in iIllustrator), I get this alert: To preserve appearance, some text has been outlined. When I checked the Background tasks in InDesign, it gives me the following alert - image attached.
    We have the copyrights on fonts. Glyphs are mentioned in the alert, but not all of them are outlined. Using CC 2018 13.1

16. URLs breaking when used inside a table

    I have a InDesign doc that has several columns (name, address, website link, etc). When converting to pdf the urls break. The urls are too long for the column so they wrap onto 2-3 lines. When I copy the url and paste it outside the table and extend the text box so the url is on one line then it works as should be.

17. [BUG] PDF size is to high using the export feature

    With this post I would like to report an issue regarding the export feature of Adobe Indesign. When exporting a PDF-file from Indesign, the PDF file size is unnecessary to high and the document contains a lot of overhead. After the same pdf-file is resaved using the default Os X preview application, the overhead is removed and the file size is correct. Please fix this issue.

18. Page Hyperlinks Defaulting to page 1 when Exporting to PDF

    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.

19. nested hyperlinks

    Currently, hyperlinks in InDesign documents don't survive import/nesting into other InDesign documents. It would be great if they did -- it's the only thing preventing me from nesting pages from a "base" document into multiple localized versions...
