FRAME FITTING BUG? Indesign CC

I think this has been covered before for Indesign CS 6. (Re: Indesign CS6 Frame Fitting Options bug?)
I have this same bug in CC. We have recently moved from 5.5 to CC and it's causing a major issue. I do comic strip and multiple place comic strip pages into full page frames that have been set via frame fitting to being centred. Except it won't centre the images. See the CS 6 discussion above for more specifics.
Is there a work around yet for CC or is is still broken since CS6?! It's costing me money as i cannot go back to cs 5.5.

Hi, Pickory!

That was easy. You left your traces in the copyright statement of the script at Kerntiff ;-)

And posted about the function ourAfterPlace(e){} here:
Re: Indesign CS6 Frame Fitting Options bug?
After tracing all app.eventListeners with a for in loop, I could tell the jsxbin part of the script was using that function:

  • Frame fitting options in object styles

    We are producing multiple pages using tagged templates and importing xml - to populate both text and images.
    Back in CS3 - our object styles using frame fitting worked perfectly. Since we have upgraded to CS5 and now CS6 - when xml is imported the frame fitting element of our object styles are no longer being honoured - when clicking on the object frame, it shows the style has been applied but with overrides - and it is adding random offsets to the frame fitting crop settings.
    We are producing large numbers of pages through xml automation, therefore it's very time consuming to open every page and clear overrides/reset frame fitting on every affected graphic.
    I've seen on other questions/forums that this may be a known bug - anyone have any up-to-date info on fixes or workarounds?
    Thanks for your help :-)

    Hello,
    We have a free startup script that clears the overrides after a place action.

  • Help with "layer options" + frame fitting

    I don't really understand how layer options work in conjunction with frame fitting options. Sometimes I will have a number of illustrations embedded within the same illustrator file and rejig the layer visibilities in order to separate each one but I find that the image shifts within the frame, partly I suppose because the bounding box may have changed. Can anyone refer me to a document that explains how this works - and if there's a way to keep the position locked so that layer vix changes don't have an effect on positioning?

    Or make a rectangle around all the art on it's own layer and give it no fill or stroke. As long as that layer remains visible, I don't believe you will see any shifting (In this case I'd choose "art" as the crop).

  • I have Photoshop Elements 6 and am dealing with the GIF frame delay bug. Must I upgrade?

    I am dealing with the Photoshop Elements 6 GIF animation frame delay bug. I understand there has not been a fix for some time so I want to know if one has been developed. If not what do I have to do to address this. Can I get an upgrade? What steps do I have to take and who do I deal with at Adobe for this?

    The gif delay problem persisted for many versions of PSE. You can buy PSE 12, but it's silly to buy it from adobe since their upgrade price is more than the street price for the full version at big box stores and online resellers.
    If your question is will adobe give you a free upgrade because of this bug, then the answer is no.

  • How can I create a frame tool in photoshop similar to the frame tool in InDesign? and fitting the image in the frame tool proportionally just like in InDesign?

    I am working on a project and I know it can be done in InDesign but I am halfway done in Photoshop so I just need to know if there is a way to do this similar trick.

    One way is to use Select>Color Range
    Make a new Color Fill Layer>White
    (Layer>New Fill Layer>Solid Color)
    Put a new color fill layer below>black
    Just invert the layer mask on the top fill layer for the opposite effect.

  • Placed PDF made in Quark bug, InDesign CS4 XP

    Hi,
    I've just been bitten by the bug that causes characters to drop out when you create a PDF from an InDesign CS4 document that has a placed PDF made in Quark.
    Has it been resolved? I looked at the update notes to 6.0.2 and 6.0.3 and couldn't see anything about it.
    This is fairly urgent for me. If it hasn't been resolved, are there any workarounds?
    Thank you,
    Ariel

    You may be right... but it didn't seem relevant at the time, since I rarely receive Quark files, so I probably phased out.
    Anyway, the 6.0.2 for InDesign CS4ME does not fix the issue. I thought it might. And what a story it was to upgrade (which I just did this evening). Apparently, the 6.0.2 upgrade only works for a later build of IDCS4 (something like 6.0.0.421). I had the earlier build (something like 6.0.0.270). And the only solution was to completely uninstall InDesign, download the latest Demo on the Winsoft site (800MB. Took me around 2 hours). Install that. Then download the update and install that as well.
    And it didn't even fix the issue!
    The only positive side is that all my preferences survived the trauma intact!

  • FCPX "Retime to fit" bug

    Hello.
    I noticed a bug in new feature called "Replace and retime to fit". In my case I have some images on timeline with simple crossfade transition between them. If I want to replace one of images, I drug new one from Event library to timeline, drop it on old image and choose "Replace and retime to fit" option from pop-up menu. As expected, new image replaces old one and streches in/out to be exactly same duration as old one. But this scenario happens only if I have no transitions. If I have transition, strange things hapens: new image doesnt stretch (and its duration seems to be default FCPX duration for images), "in" transition moves on place of "out" transition and timeline become messed up, because new image's duration change move all other clips and brake all timings.
    Now I have to put markers on audio line in places where transitions borders are, then do retime to fit, then manually move transitions to their places according to markers. Its a little bit annoing and spends a lot of time.
    Do you have same bug? Or any ideas why its happening and how to fix it?
    Thanks!

    The more I investigate the worse it gets. Here are a few further observations:
    When used locally my test page behaves as previously described except that I am now aware that Mozilla browsers print
    the first page cropped as intended but fail to acknowledge the existence of anything cropped from the right. Internet
    Explorer 5.2 is the only browser of mine which always behaves correctly in this respect in that it will print all four
    pages if instructed to do so.
    The online behaviour of iCab 4.2.0 is even more bizarre and undesirable than its local behaviour. It only prints a small
    fraction of the page. So far my tests indicate that Safari, Camino, Firefox 3 and Internet Explorer 5.2 behave in the same way online as they do locally.
    I have not printed every combination of pages - I have relied upon Preview to show what will be printed - however
    the 20 prints I have done indicate that this method of testing is satisfactory.
    I am using OS X 10.5.5 on a G4. In general all browser settings are similar - 100%, no headers/footers, minimum borders
    etc - iCab margins are all set to 12pt (without this setting the combination of iCab and my LaserWriter 16/600 lose an
    indeterminate amount of data around the edges.
    I have now mounted a demonstration page at: http://links.open.ac.uk/browser/test/
    The files can be downloaded for local testing from: http://links.open.ac.uk/browser/test/test.zip

  • Safari Frame Rows Bug (white block)

    http://www.selfcrew.com/websitetest/album_dubberneck.html
    I'm building a site that uses framesets (outdated I've heard). None the less, on load, Safari will sporadically add a giant white space between the top and bottom frames. The big white space will disappear if you resize the window (by dragging the bottom right corner). It won't happen every time which is especially weird, but if one refreshes the page again and again it happens at least 1 in 5 loads. This does not happen in any other browser, and I downloaded Safari 4.0.2 this morning.
    I'd love to know if anyone knows a fix for this, either Java or just some html that I overlooked. I'd be happy to post the code by request. Thanks in advance!

    You've got a bigger problem.  See attached screenshot from Firefox when text size is increased in browser (Zoom, text only)
    Start by using the code valiation tools below and fix reported errors.  90% of browser rendering problems are code related.  If your code is clean, chances are good that your pages will perform reasonably well in all the major browsers.

  • How do I unthread text frames in CS4 InDesign Mac?

    I've looked everywhere and tried what I found in Adobe help. I can't FOR THE LIFE OF ME figure out how to unthread text frames in InDesign CS4 [Mac].
    Please help. I know it must be simple.
    Thank you,
    Margot

    Run the SplitStory scipt thats in the samples in the scripts panel.
    A waord of caution, though. Splitting a threaded story caused ID to treat the text at the top of each frame as a new paragraph, even if it was caninued from a previous frame. This can result in unwanted changes like an indent, if such is called for in the paragraph style, or an extra number or bullet item in a list.

  • Premiere MPEG2 encode frame swapping bug

    We film and edit live shows ranging from 1 hour to 3 hours in length, recorded on DVCAM and digitised to DV widescreen preset. Final edits are encoded to Mpeg 2 DVD.
    We are experiencing a bug across all 6 edit suites where a random frame from somewhere in a production is inserted further on in the
    timeline, causing a quick flash/strobe. This occurs only in the encoded file and is not visible in the original sequence. Encoding
    in Premiere, Encore or Media Encoder has the same results. Proof can be supplied if required.
    This is a SERIOUS problem, especially as we may not be able to spot it before shipping the final DVD (in large numbers)
    All systems are kept up to date with the latest updates but the bug has persisted since purchase.
    We are using Adobe CS5 Production Premium, Windows 7 64 with NVIDIA Quadro FX 3800
    Many thanks for any help that can be supplied.

    I'm just finishing up a 3 1/2 hour film transfer job that is on 3 DVD's. I normally go Firewire out to my set top DVD recorder and have never had to watch every frame of the DVD to make sure that everything was ok. Same with videotape transfers. Were talking 100's of hours of footage here on a monthly basis. I do fast forward through the each DVD and check the chapter points but I would be out of business if I had to watch every film reel and videotape after it is transferred to DVD in real time to check for problems. Actually, since I edit all film transfers using Premiere every frame is checked during the editing process. I shouldn't have to do that again when making a DVD in Encore.
    So, as a result of this problem with random frames popping up using Encore, I now have to export a DV AVi file out of Premiere use a competitors $50 consumer video editing software just to do an MPEG-2 transcode then import that MPEG-2 file back into Encore and add about 70 chapter points manually instead of the chapters automatically importing in from a Premiere sequence. Not what I call an efficient workflow anymore.

  • Bug Indesign : unable to access control panels icons

    Hello,
    I bought 4 years ago Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Standard. I just changed the PC. So I disabled the version installed on my old PC and install and enabled more on my new pc release. Now, I meet two problems:
    - In InDesign, most tools located on the left panels, right and top of his reach. The boxes are not clickable. FYI, my screen at a resolution of 3200 x 1800.
    - I wanted to install the updates hoping that it would correct the bug. But every time I try, it crashes before the end of the installation with the following message:
    "The installation of the following updates failed. If you want to install, correct the problems below, then try again.
    Adobe update InDesign CS5 7.0.4
    An error occurred while downloading the update. Quit and try again later. "
    The problem recurs every time when I get to the download.
    What do you do? Thank you for your help.

    thank you so much! It works.
    And the second problem? You see what it can come: I can not install updates. Every time I try, it crashes before the end of the installation with the following message:
    "The installation of the following updates failed. If you want to install, correct the problems below, then try again.
    Adobe update InDesign CS5 7.0.4
    An error occurred while downloading the update. Quit and try again later. "
    The problem recurs every time when I get to the download.

  • FCP7 PAL still frame duration bug?

    While attempting to troubleshoot a thread here, I've just noticed that my still duration setting seems to have a bug whereby my imports are created using NTSC framerates so if I set it to 12 seconds (300 frames in PAL) I get 10 seconds and so on.
    Freezes created from the canvas or viewer behave as they should, this is only affecting imports.
    I don't remember ever seeing this behaviour with previous versions, but perhaps I'm just being forgetful.

    Thanks Ian. Rather remiss of me not to have noticed it before! In my (weak) defense I've never fiddled with that setting before, so had no reason to notice the 'wrongness'. I just always assumed that the setting only pertained to internally created stills, imported ones being fixed at a ten second in-out within a 2 minute and.. 5 second clip.. um yeah. Should really have picked up on that weird duration.

  • Bug InDesign CS 6 bei Effekt "Abgeflachte Kante" mit gleichzeitigem Scherwinkel bei PDF-Export

    Hallo zusammen,
    ich habe einen Bug bei InDesign CS6 entdeckt: Ich habe einen Button mit Eckenrundungen, Farbe, einem Drehwinkel von 5° und einem Scherwinkel von 5° mit Schlagschatten und dem Effekt "Abgeflachte Kante" in Indesign CS 5.5 erstellt. Wenn ich die Datei in InDesign CS6 öffne, scheint optisch alles in Ordnung zu sein, aber wenn ich die Datei in ein Druck-PDF exportiere, geht der Effekt "Abgefalchte Kante" verloren (Schlagschatten ist o.k.)!
    Nach langem Probieren habe ich folgendes festgestellt:
    Wenn ich einen Scherwinkel von z.B. 5° bei einem Objekt (Form) oder bei einer Schrift einstelle und diese Elelemente dann mit dem Effekt "Abgeflachte Kante" belege, so schlägt der PDF-Export dieses Effektes fehl. Schalte ich den Scherwinkel aus, so funktioniert der Export tadellos.
    Auch bei neu erstellten Elementen und Schriften mit dem Effekt "Abgeflachte Kante" bei gleichzeitiger Verzerrung von egal wieviel Grad ist dies der Fall (auch ohne Eckenrundung)!
    Any ideas? Bitte um Nachstellung und Feedback - vielen Dank!
    (System Windows 7 64bit / 24GB RAM / Core i7 980X)
    Markus

    Ich habe mir schon ein Support-Ticket geholt und gebe die Sache mit Screenschots weiter - ich hatte nur gehofft, dass der eine oder andere das mal eben probiert und dann sieht man, ob das ein generelles Problem ist. Wäre ja recht schnell ausprobiert. Ich habe die Sache auf 2 PCs nachstellen können, aber mich hätten halt Versuche auf anderen Systemen interessiert.
    Macht aber nichts, ich werde ert einmal den Support abwarten und dann sehen, ob die den Bug nachvollziehen können, oder nicht.
    Danke für die Antwort!

  • BUG: Indesign CC 2014 - significant image artifacts with 'export as JPG'

    Issue
    Spreads exported from InDesign as maximum quality JPGs have heavy artifacts not present in PDF's with equivalent image compression settings.
    Steps
    Export spread to JPG (max, baseline, 300ppi)
    Export spread to PDF (image compression set to JPG, maximum)
    Compare both files in Photoshop at 100%
    Results
    Maximum quality JPGs are significantly artifacted.
    Expected Results
    Maximum quality JPGs should be identical to PDF images with equivalent image compression settings (and should be virtually indistinguishable from original files sized equivalently in Photoshop (and saved via Photoshop's 'Save for Web').
    Please Note
    I'm very familiar with the limitations of JPG's in pre-press work. Please trust that I have legitimate reasons for needing InDesign to export spreads as JPGs with the same image quality as is possible when exporting as a PDF (or using Photoshop's 'Save For Web' function with the source file sized identically as the spread in question.)
    Samples
    exhibit A: spread exported as PDF (compression set to JPG, maximum quality)
    exhibit B: spread exported as JPG (maximum quality)

    Rob,
    Thank you for running your test!
    Since posting (and just before reading your reply), I discovered an additional constraint on replicating the issue:
    –it only appears when the linked image has been upscaled* (in my example, 107.1%)
         *keep in mind, the PDF was upscaled to the same degree, ruling out it being solely an upscaling issue
    –testing at 'even-magnification' scales (i.e. 150%) simply resulted in increased pixelation compared to the same PDF export (see samples below)
    –testing at 'odd-magnification' scales (i.e. 101%) generated random artifacts (like those visible in the samples of my initial post)
    –as such, this is likely more of a resampling/aliasing issue than jpg-artifacting.
    That is, it would seem that upscaled images seem to enjoy a higher-quality resampling method when exported as PDFs.
    I'd be curious to see how your test fared with upscaled images.
    samples
    image scaled at 150%, exported as PDF (compression set to JPG, maximum quality)
    image scaled at 150%, exported as JPG (maximum quality, anti-alias**)
         **tested with & without anti-aliasing, results were identical

  • Refreshing frame error in indesign document

    Hi,
    I have this strange error that approx. every 10 seconds the frame refreshes.
    When I select a font for instance it refreshes before I can select one. Same with all other tools.
    I turned off the 'preflight document' but that doesn't resolve it.
    It only happens with one certain document.
    Luckily not with all documents so it must be some kind of setting or maybe even a font....
    I hope someone has some tips for where to look to get rid of this problem.
    T.i.a.
    Bert.

    I turned it off completely but it still isn't fixed.
    The strange thing is that it only happens with 1 document.
    So maybe a font is causing this, but never experienced a problem like this before.
