Reply To: Exporting from CS5 causes elements to move

I've found the jumping-text-frame problem often is caused by a text frame or graphic being close to the edge of the page. That can include slug area text frames, page number text frames, page outline graphics, and background images or tints that touch the spine or page edge.

Here are some things that helped me at various times:

* Adjust all text frames so they are farther away from the page edges.

* Resize my (temporary) page outlines so they are a 1/2-point away from the outside page edge, or delete them.

* Change the top/bottom/left/right bleeds to zero—of course this doesn't help for final output, just for preliminary proofs.

* Set the pdf to “Use Document Bleeds Settings: On” rather than defining the bleed using the pdf output window's left/right/top/bottom options.

I had one book where I could output all pages with no problem, but if I select a range of pages like: “83, 86, 112-114, 256, 389,” the running feet were all over the place. Some were properly positioned, some were in the middle of the page, some were falling off the left or right side of the page, and some are so far off they were missing entirely.

I have CS6 now but haven't used it long enough to know whether this problem persists.
