Jan 25, 2016 8:52 AM by lynx-nobull Indesign won't export to pdf gwhPoster Nov 21, 2010 3:47 AM Hi everyone,I've just upgraded to Indesign CS5. I've also downloaded the patch so that it's version https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/troubleshoot-printing-pdf-export-indesign.html 7.03.When I try to export to pdf, I get an error that says: 1 problem was found with a background task: Failed to export an eps item on page A.I get the same error when I try to export any file at all.Anyone know why this is happening? It worked fine in CS4.Appreciate any advice. I have the same question Show 2 Likes(2) 23106Views Tags: none (add) This content https://forums.adobe.com/thread/755238 has been marked as final.

Books export to PDF in the foreground, so this should tell us if the problem is in the background task itself, or something else.If it's happening with all files, my instinct is it is either corrupt preferences, a conflict with some other software, or a damaged instalation of ID. I think som Firefox plugins have been implicated in odd behavior in ID, and of course third party ID plugins are always suspect. Try cloing all other apps and see if it makes a difference, and deactvate any optional plugins, including any font auto-activation. If that doesn't work, the next thing I would try is Replace Your Preferences, followed by a reinstall as a last resort.Have you ever been able to use the background export? Can you export to .idml instead? What's the OS? Like Show 0 Likes(0) Actions 2. Re: Indesign won't export to pdf gwhPoster Nov 21, 2010 4:18 AM (in response to Peter Spier) Thanks for the deta
for a client. Everything had been working just fine, in Adobe InDesign CS, and I had exported many PDF proofs along the way, but wouldn't you know it--just when I went to do the final export for my client (delivery was a PDF file) at 3:00 a.m. http://hellbox.org/archives/000497.html the darn thing failed. It gave me the cryptic message "failed to export the pdf file". Thanks Adobe. So, being a good researcher, I type that into Google and come up with one hit, which is an Adobe developer support document that is strangely not about https://www.reddit.com/r/indesign/comments/3gz4ez/cannot_export_to_pdf_or_print_file/ the error itself, but uses the error as an example of how to turn an error off. Hmmm. Well, it did mention that the error happens because of a full disk, so I made sure I was okay in that regard. 20% of my disk failed to space free on my main drive--that's 20 gb--should be plenty, so that isn't the issue. Is it fonts? Nope. Is it a corrupt document? Nope. Is it corrupt InDesign? Re-install, nope. Is it my machine? Try on G5 in office--same error. Damn. So, like any good troubleshooter I start tearing the file down bit by bit, and exporting each page individually to see where the problem is. Ah! I found it--turns out that I had some images stretching across two pages across the fold. Those images were grouped. I ungrouped them, and failed to export problem fixed. The file went out the door at 4:15 a.m. So, the moral is this: if you are finding this posting via typing "failed to export the pdf file" into Google, and are working in InDesign, see if you have grouped images across a fold. If it happened to me, I'm sure it can happen to somebody else. I hope some designer, burning the midnight oil (mixed in with clumps of hair pulled out in frustration) and experiencing problems does type "failed to export the pdf file" into Google, and this does fix their problem. If so, leave me a comment and get that damn work out the door so that you can get paid! Posted by: Martin McClellan On the date of: February 10, 2005 02:09 PM comments Same just happened to me (and yes I did google for that exact phrase:)) Slightly different, I had a text box going over the spread, nothing grouped, but you saved me a TON of time!!! Cheers Val Posted by: Val Evans | April 7, 2005 08:25 AM Hey! itīs not midnight but I still have my client over me. It happened exactly the same as you, Thank you very much, I can now send the file to my client. cheers! Posted by: Ludy | April 13, 2005 03:59 PM I had this error. Thank you!!! Posted by: Roxane | April 15, 2005 04:56 PM Try this one: I had a master page element jumping from a facing page over to the other side (even though the other side was linked to a completely different master page).
