Problems converting from CS4 - eps files show TIFF error

Having downloaded the latest version of Indesign CS6, I have tried to open several douments of a music tutor featuring many EPS music graphics along with many Tiff images. However, I keep getting following error: "Error encountered while reading TIFF image. Image may be damaged or incompatible. Resave the image with different settings and try again."
I have resaved all the EPS and Tiff images as CS6 files and relinked them into the document but to no avail - the problem remains. I suspect that the  image files are not actually damaged but that there is some other problem. I have 100s of images and am not sure what next to do. I noticed another user ( Kaleidoscopes Violin) who had a similar problem and it was suggested that "if your CS2 file is still intact, try exporting it to interchange format (.inx), then open the .inx file in CS5 (or CS5.5 which is the current release, and not the same as CS5)." - but this was for CS2 to CS5, and CS6 does not allow .inx file export. I need to work with the document in future so exporting it as a PDF file is of no use to me. Is this a known bug in CS6? I would be grateful for any advice. Thank you.

Wow ... very, very helpful responses.  I wish I'd posted this earlier!! 
I had no idea that EPS was an older file format, or that PDF was considered a "legitimate" graphics format.  Sibelius 6 only exports to EPS, TIFF (yuck!!), and PNG.  However, I did discover that it "prints" to Adobe PDF.  Odd that the option is located in an unexpected file menu, but very glad it's there!!  The PDF format loads fine into InDesign and also prints beautifully, unlike the PNG option. Yay!! 
As far as embedding fonts, I had been making sure this option was checked (when exporting from Sibelius), so it seems unlikely that was the problem. So in theory that would mean it's not a problem of the InDesign font cache, or of a font discrepancey.  In practice ... who knows.  What's particularly puzzling is that some EPS files are fine, while others were not; and also that CS2 had no problems with any of them.
Regardless, the font information is really, really good to know ... I'll save this thread for future use!
Thanks so much to all for your generous help!!!

  • Problems converting from CS2 - eps files show TIFF error

    I have multiple volumes of a violin method book in InDesign CS2 and was considering upgrading to InDesign CS5. While using the trial version (which I just downloaded last night), every single of my eps files (hundreds of images across multiple documents) -- which were handled correctly by CS2 -- came up with the following error: "Error encountered while reading TIFF image. Image may be damaged or incompatible. Resave the image with different settings and try again." 
    Inconveniently, these errors were not collated into a single pop-up box when the document opened; instead, they appear one box at a time, as you page through the document -- so you have to manually close this error pop-up box hundreds of times.
    Meanwhile, the problem is not with the image files themselves.  Simply manually re-linking to the exact same image file corrected the image preview in each instance, for my Books 2 & 3.  This would inevitably seem to suggest the image file was never actually damaged or incompatible. 
    However, in my Book 1, re-linking an image caused the program to crash each time I tried it.
    The images themselves are EPS, not TIFF, and are listed in the links palette as such.  I assume that it's simply the image preview which is a TIFF -- however, the pop-up box should be more illuminating for your users who don't do this for a living.
    Meanwhile, the status of each buggy link is listed in the Links palette as "Okay." The inability to see the image correctly (and having to close a pop-up box each time you land on that page) is not, in my book, "okay."
    I am planning to immediately un-install CS5 and return to CS2; I cannot possibly go through the laborious process of re-linking hundreds of links to image files that are perfectly fine.  However, I wanted to post this feedback for the benefit of other users, or in hopes that the bug will be fixed.  I love my InDesign and am very disappointed that CS5 is handling my documents so erratically.

    Hopefully you haven't already saved the new file over the old version. Under no circumstances do you want to do that as there is no way to go back without having CS4 and CS3 to work through.
    That said, if your CS2 file is still intact, try exporting it to interchange format (.inx), then open the .inx file in CS5 (or CS5.5 which is the current release, and not the same as CS5).

  • Just converted a PDF document to Word, none of the graphics from the PDF file show up in the Word document?

    Just converted a PDF document to Word, none of the graphics from the PDF file show up in the Word document?
    What do I need to do to bring the graphics and exhibits from the PDF file to the Word file?

    Hi jackp52432917,
    How was that PDF file created? Please see  Will Adobe ExportPDF convert both text and form... | Adobe Community
    It could be that the PDF file you're converting was created using a third-party application, and it doesn't contain all the information necessary to ensure a clean conversion. Have you had similar troubles converting other PDF files?
    Best,

  • Converting Multi page .eps files to .pdf Preview is broken

    I have in the past used Preview to convert multi page .eps files into
    .pdf files. Since I have upgraded to Tiger 10.4.3 Preview will no longer work.
    Does anyone know how to uninstall Tiger 3.03 version and go back to 2.xx version? Are there any utilities to do this for me? On my older mac (9.x) I have Adobe distiller.
    Thanks

    I have just copies the older version of Preview onto this machine and am running 2.10 of Preview to solve this problem.

    This makes no sense.  You don't configure a listener nor a tnsnames.ora "in a database".   I hope this is just a language issue and not reflective of a fundamental misunderstanding of how tns works.

  • I am having a problem converting a scanned pdf file into Excel.

    I am having a problem converting a scanned pdf file into Excel. I do not get the columns and rows to align, just a single column of everything. Any suggestions?

    Export makes use of what is "in" a PDF.
    Good export is the "silk purse" and, ya know, you canna make a silk purse from a sow's ear (which is what any scanned image in PDF is with regards to export).
    The quality of export is dictated by the quality of the PDF. We are taking about the "inner essences" of the PDF (e.g., degree of compliance with the PDF Standard - ISO 32000-1).
    So, what goes in goes out or "GIGO".
    This has nothing to do with Acrobat or Acrobat's export process.
    A well-formed Tagged PDF (compliant to ISO 32000-1 & ISO 14289-1, PDF/UA-1) provides a PDF that proactively
    supports content export by Acrobat.
    To get the good stuff from export you start with a well-formed Tagged PDF.
    Goodstuff In — Goodstuff Out
    or
    Garbage In — Garbage Out
    "GIGO"
    Be well...

  • When I export an indesign document the graphics are missing from the eps file.

    When I export an indesign document the graphics are missing from the eps file.

    The why it isn't working can be a number of reasons. While I never have exported an EPS out of ID before, I just tried it and it worked fine.
    What "graphics" are missing? I used bitmaps, native drawn ID vector, lines and a placed EPS file. Came into AI as an opened EPS fine.
    Links up to date? For items not hitting the EPS, are they on a layer set to non-printing?
    In the export dialog,General tab, PostScript Level 3? Data format set to ASCII? On the Advanced tab, Send Data set to All? OPI off?

  • Problems converting from .ai to .eps/.pdf

    I recently designed a logo for a client that included both a gradient and transparency.
    I flattened the transparency, expanded the strokes and embedded the text before saving a copy of it in .eps and another in .pdf (PDF/x-1a:2003)
    When I opened both files in Preview, I found these two problems:
    I didn't have this problem when I saved the file in other formats (.jpg, .png)
    What caused this and how can I fix it?
    Also, while I'm here, is PDF/x-1a:2003 preset optimized specifically for printing?
    Thank You!

    JPG and PNG are mostly for web work and essentially rasterize the art--the problems you're seeing are the result of stitching (a process that takes place when transparency is flattened)--if you are prepping files for 'print house'-- DON'T FLATTEN transparency or expand strokes, embed text. or save as .eps or PDF/x-1a--instead--just save as .ai and .pdf (use the 'illustrator default' PDF setting) that will allow the print house to use their RIP to process the file(s)--unless of course, the print house has 'specific' settings they want for PDFs--in which case, call and ask what setting they prefer (note: the illustrator default PDF setting will generate a larger file, but that's why there is so much portable media available-ie-CDs, DVDs, thumb drives, and a variety of free FTP sites to send files to printers).

  • Can you auto replace eps files with tiff files

    Hello
    We have a document that has been supplied to u with 3000 images in it. The original positional files were eps files but the final high res files will be tiff's. Is there a way to find and replace the eps files with the tiff files?
    Many thanks
    Beefcake3

    Are you using CS3 or CS4?
    With CS3 you might be able to use the LinkOptimizer that you can buy from here http://zevrix.com/linkoptimizer.php
    With CS4 you can swap out a bunch of files for another bunch in another folder - http://indesignsecrets.com/relink-from-one-image-file-type-to-another.php
    Are you sure the EPS are just raster images? If there are any text, vectors etc. they will be converted to raster elements when saving to a tiff.
    Perhaps a PDF would be better if you don't like EPS?

  • Are there problems converting from Adobe Bridge to Organizer?

    HI,
       I've searched for information on this and haven't found anything so maybe there aren't any problems :} but...Murphy and I are good friends so I have to ask if there are problems.
    I currnetly run Elements 8 on a MacBook and have about 2000 pictures in Bridge and some in Iphoto. I use bridge for pictures for web design and Iphoto for family stuff.  I 'help out' with the computer stuff at a cat shelter in town and they have just bought Elements 10 and run the PC version.  I am thinking of upgrading to 10 so I will be familiar with their version but am worried about converting from bridge to organizer. Are there any known problems?  Is there a tutorial some place about the conversion from bridge to organizer.
    Thanks for any ideas

    You have no pictures in Bridge. Bridge is just a browser; it just shows the current state of any folder to which you point it, so that's no problem. If you really want to use organizer, it will pick up your metadata keywords when you import the photos. Photos from iphoto will be duplicated on import to the organizer (normally it just makes a dbase pointer to the existing photo) to avoid inadvertently writing into the iphoto library, which can corrupt it and cause loss of the photos it contains.
    You will lose any stacks in bridge when you import the photos into organizer.

  • How do i match a color exactly from an .eps file?

    How do I match a color in pages exactly from a jpg or eps file?

    The Color Selector has an eyedropper tool, the magnifying glass next to the color field at the top. Click on it and anywhere on screen to pick up a color.
    Why not just open the eps in Pages, which will convert it to a .pdf?
    .eps/ai/pdf files may have spot colors and they can't be matched exactly in Pages but will print through from the .pdf file as a separate plate.
    jpegs do not have an "exact color", they are made up of a cluster of different colored pixels.
    Also there will be differences depending on whether the color you are selecting is RGB or CMYK.
