When I try to export my InDesign work to a JPEG file nothing happens.

I can export to PDF - but when I try to export my work into a JPEG, nothing happen after I pressed Export.

Someone who can help me?

Correct answer Derek Cross

I have tested another single InDesign document - and I works fine.

Can it be something with multiply pages? Or that I have outlined my text?


Never (or almost never) outline your text – why did you do so?

You may have a corruption in that document, save it as an IDML file, rename it and try again.

Hi, I have the same problem, but it is NOT SOLVED with your directions as specified above, unfortunatly.  My texte is not outlined and I have no filename with strange characters... I cleaned also the cache and my Mac, so what can be the problem then?? I'm really out of ideas and hopeless.

When exporting jpgs from InDesign, there is no progress bar or anything else happening after pressing Export, as exporting this type of files happens pretty quickly.

Do you get the Export JPEG dialogue box or is that not showing up? If you do, just make sure you check the location you select for the file(s) to be saved and go navigate to that folder and see if it got saved.

I get my dialogue box open - and select where I will save my JPEG on my computer.

After that I can pick the resolution and stuff - but after pressing export, nothing happens.

It's a document with 5 pages, I want to save as 5 different images. I have also tried to only export 1 side, and it still not works.

I havn't always this problem. It's only today and I have restarted my computer and so on.

Try Save As and select JPG from the drop-down format menu.

You can't do that in InDesign

Sorry, I had my Photoshop hat on!

Are you saying the JPG option isn't available in the Format list when you export?

Which version of InDesign and OS?
