I'm not aware of any general problem with export from CS5.5.

No third-party plug-ins installed. Only plug-ins installed are those what came packaged on the Adobe DVD.

HSGROW_HK Jan 14, 2013 2:55 PM (in response to P Spier)No, no font manager, I only use Font Book on OSX Mountain Lion. Pretty standard - nothing extraordinary.

9. Re: Book Page numbers in PDF - CS5.5 error
P Spier Jan 14, 2013 3:05 PM (in response to HSGROW_HK)At this point I'm basically stumped.
There are two things you might want to try to see if we can get more of an indication of where the problem is. Fisrtw ould be to create a new user on your Mac, log in with that account, and try the export. The second would be to start ups in "safe mode" by holding down the shift key while your Mac starts up, then try the export before you start any other programs.

HSGROW_HK Jan 15, 2013 12:14 AM (in response to P Spier)Created new user, same result in normal boot mode. In safe mode, no observable change. Rebooted again and logged on to original logon - same result, no change.

Considering that it's not a problem in InDesign CS6, have you tried opening the CS5.5 project's INDD as well as IDML versions in ID CS6, then exporting as IDML and opening it in InDesign CS5.5 to see if the problem persists? Not sure what changes might occur in the document's text flow, etc, from this round trip.
Is there a compelling reason not to complete the project in InDesign CS6?
HTH

Peter

The result was the same. The page numbers on the individual pages is fine, the page numbers in the navigation field (as shown in the picture above) contained the errors shown. As for creating in CS6 completely, I would love to but at this stage cannot afford the upgrade! As said, the file will eventually be 300 pages and contain lots of embedded EPS graphs and charts and some photos, making it not practical (size wise) to send to my colleage (who is on the other side of the world) to produce.

peter at knowhowpro Jan 16, 2013 12:32 AM (in response to HSGROW_HK)If you're in business, you should consider finding a way to afford upgrading the tools you need. I understand that in this case, you're happy with the tools you have, except for a bug that's got you stymied. If there's no unwanted change when opening the project in InDesign CS6, one option would be to wait until the project is ready for final production, then install the 30-day trial of ID CS6, and use it to complete the project. Another option would be to subscribe to the Creative Cloud for one month.
