Indesign PDF export errors

[christinadall]

I finished a document in indesign including graphics and text. When i switch from normal view (display performance) to high quality or export the file as pdf i have grey fields instead of the graphic, all links work fine, but in the PDF is completely messed up. Can anybody help me?

Are the links up to date? What are the exact export settings?

Also, make sure you're checking files in Acrobat or Reader, not Mac Preview.

[christinadall]

I exported the file from Indesign with the PDF preset X-1a. There are no errors schown for links.

and I used Acrobat Reader, not the mac preview.

Do you have non-printing set as an attribute for those graphics?

[christinadall]

Im not sure if I have set anything to non-print, is there a setting for that somewhere?  im not very experienced with indesign. Its an older file i got from a colleague and i had to make some changes

[christinadall]

Its also getting messed up when i change from normal view to high quality view

[BobLevine]

Select the image, open the attributes panel.

Links panel?

[christinadall]

yes, i have the links panel, but it all looks okay there

[BobLevine]

What panel is that?

[christinadall]

the graphics are not visible and the are not on the pdf , can you see the grey panels? these are normally images but i cannot see them when i switch to high quality view and they are also not on the PDf when i export the file

[BobLevine]

I think the easiest thing would be for us to see the file.

Package it up, put it in a dropbox folder and provide a link to it.

Hi, thanks for the offer, but the document is unfortunatley confidental ( for the company i work for)

>> where is the attributes panel?

Is this checkbox off for "bugged" images?

[christinadall]

yes, the checkbox in attributes "Nonprintiing" is off

[BobLevine]

Then I'm afraid I have to bow out. Good luck.

Extract only one page with one "bugged" image that don't have any confident info.
