I can't bring PDF's made in Quark 8.5 into InDesign CS6 and export another PDF. What Am I missing? I can bring them into InDesign CS 5.5 and export fine? Please help me out!
You can place it but it won't export without an error? What is the error if any?
InDesign crashes! No matter what I do it crashes. But if I use the same PDF from Quark and place it in InDesign CS5.5, no problems!
Do you have a pdf I can try in CS6 when I get to work?

did they put security on the pdf?
I did have an issue with PDF's and indy refusing to export a PDF. I changed them all to .tiffs and it worked fine. Not sure that would work for you, I just had a bunch of scanned pictures.
Here is a single page PDF from Quark. Like I said whenI import it into Indd 5.5 no issues but into 6 it just crashes.
No security on file.
Ah, I do remember this problem happening to us....
I had to go back to CS whatever or forward to CS whatever (cant remember back or forward) to get it to work. Never figured it out, but I do remember that.
Saved the impo as an .idml and had to use another version to open it and export.
I placed it in InDesign 2015 and exported as a high quality pdf with no issues. Maybe flatten the file to get rid of any fonts and try.
if you have any other version available, try what I did. (.idml to open in another version.)
:drunk3:
I can get it to work fine in InDesign 5.5 just not 6 :banghead: Just trying to figure out why? Maybe I don't have a proper plug in?
I'm thinking it's your install. I just dropped it in to CS6 and exported a PDF with no issues.
Not proud of this idea, but you can export .eps from Quark and try that.
If it's all copy like the sample page, that's the route I'd go.
Placed in into Indy CS6 (no crashing) and exported fine here too. Here is the resulting PDF.
I would delete your CS6 preferences and try again. Quit Indy CS6. Hold down SHIFT+CONTROL+OPTION+COMMAND and open Indy CS6. It should ask if you want to delete your preferences. Affirm. Say a prayer and try again.

Same here - it worked in my Indy CS6 with no issues. I also tried placing it in Illy CS6 and re-saving a pdf, which worked fine, but it is extra work. Perhaps the preferences are corrupt which could cause wonky shit to happen. If you are going to delete your preferences it may be wise to take screenshots of each preference page if you have customized them and before you delete them, as they will go back to defaults when you delete and restart the app.

Where is the fun and challenge in that? :rotf:

I'm too old for challenges. Goodbye steak - bring on the mushy peas.

Don't forget to dance around in a circle and swing a dead cat over your head.
