Add colour to imported EPS

I haven't used ID for a while now and I'm a little rusty. I'm sure there's a way to add a colour to an eps that I've imported from AI but can't for the life of me figure out how to add it.
Any ideas?

>I'm not sure if David meant bitmap mode in the Photoshop sense,...
Yes--I did mean as in Photoshop.
I did not discuss grayscale because I was responding to a preview quote about bitmap images.
I was not dealing with the file format at all, but I usually use TIFF for bitmap-mode images since the PSD format has not advantage for that mode (that I know of). JPEG would be a BAD format for bitmap-mode images (I realize Peter was just giving a list of formats, not commenting on which would to use.)

Importing .eps images in MDM

Hi There, i'm trying to use the data manager to import images into the MDM database of .eps format. I have the photoshop options selected but i'm still getting the MDM Server Error message whenever i try to import an .eps image. Has anyone been able to import these types of images into MDM?

Hi Adams,
Yes.Importing .eps file is working perfectly fine for me.
I executed the below steps :
1)Choose Images table from table list in Data manager.
2)In Records pane, Right click > Add .
3) In the pop up window, select Data group >Language (if reqd) > Add .eps files from local drive.
While executing above step, choose the radio button ' Store in repository'.
Note : A data group hierarchy is a must. Incase child nodes are absent in Data Groups, use 'Edit' and add a child/sibling/parent in Data Group.
Please let me know if this resolves .

I want my wife to be able to see my calendars on my IPad /I phone on her mac and for her to add to it . She can then see my work movements and also add in any important events from home life. Can it be done without sync of email and contacts?

I would like my wife to see my calendar on her mac from my iPad so she knows my work movements and can add in any important events I need to be aware of at home. Can I do this without upsetting her mac/iPhone arrangement and without sync of contacts and email?

I'm not sure how iCloud will handle this, but I believe it will allow something along these lines - cloud syncing of the calendar between two. For now, you could just move your calendars to Google calendar and sync it to your iPad - then - you can subscribe to each other's calendars, give priviliges to add events to them, etc.

Error when importing EPS files in Publisher 2010

Whenever I attempt to insert an EPS file (possibly other image types as well) into a Publisher document I get a prompt asking for what type of file the source is and then this error:
"An
error occurred while importing this file."
This is running as a Citrix Published Application running on Server 2008 R2 and I've found that this does not happen outside of Citrix. If i login directly to the server via RDP or right from the console I do not get this issue. I've posted in
the Citrix Forums and it looks like this is something to do with MS Publisher and not being able to use the Explorer shell.
http://forums.citrix.com/thread.jspa?threadID=307437
Researched this error and found this article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/224744 (This is unacceptable since the file needs to be in EPS format to keep functionality)
There was another article but I cannot find it for the life of me at this time but it suggested that you uninstall and reinstall Office or repair Office.
I did both with no luck.
I am able to get Citrix to open up publisher with the shell by initiating this command:
explorer.exe /root,D:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\MSPUB.exe
With this command firing up Publisher I'm able to import EPS files with no problem. However I cannot pass an argument to this command so double clicking documents in our Citrix portal do not open up the document but rather just opens up a blank Publisher
file. So this isn't a good "solution."
I should not have to make this command to just be able to import images as a workaround. Anyone run into this in their Citrix environments? Microsoft, do you have anything that can be tweaked with Publisher to allow this to work as normal in
a Citrix environment?

I was able to get a workaround for this. I made a .cmd and put this into it:
if [%1]==[] explorer2.exe /root,D:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\MSPUB.exe %1
if [%1] NEQ [] "D:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\MSPUB.exe" %1
You will need to change your paths to your MSPub.exe and if you are using explorer.exe change that as well. We use explorer2.exe since we've found issues with using the original explorer.exe.
Once you have that CMD file made. Save it to your Xenapp boxes in the same location and then point your published app to that file to launch Publisher.
This worked for us but I'm not sure if it will work for anyone else but give it a go and let me know.

Can imported EPS color graphic print as black in CS3 (Mac)?

I am switching to ID from PageMaker 6 (Mac) and wonder why the newly opened document will only print graphic files (EPS) in composite gray instead of black? There is no option for black output except for text. All other options are Composite gray, RGB, CMKY, etc. I'm using Mac OS 10.4.11 and an old HP 2100M black/white printer and have to fax output to customer for approval. Black text and gray images on the same document is not too cool!
Pagemaker allows you to select "print colors in black" in the print dialog box and everything prints in black. Why doesn't ID seem to offer the same thing, or did I miss something?
Thanks,
Chuck

Hi Bob,
I was afraid you'd tell me that. InDesign can't print a graphic in
black on a B/W printer... not great Adobe. I'm kind of surprised
seeing that PageMaker does it easily. Is it the same for ID CS5?
Trouble is I have literally thousands of PM documents with imported
EPS files. I know EPS is now an obsolete file format, but the reality
of it is that's what I have to work with. To have to go back to each
and every file+ and re-create the graphic in black & white just isn't
feasible. I guess I'll have to reconsider the imminent switch to ID a
bit more.
Appreciate the feedback, even though it wasn't what I wanted to
hear. : )
Thanks,
Chuck

Import eps or pdf as image

Hi everybody:
Anybody know how to import eps or pfd files into a pdf document, onto an existing page? as an image, not as a page?

Does that work in Acrobat Adobe Pro XI? That is what I use and it does not want to do it. Maybe there is a setting or function that needs to be turned on?

Import EPS files? Plugin?

I can export EPS to maintain vector data, but can I import EPS files, while maintaining vector data?
If not, is there any way to open vector data in Photoshop?
A plug-in?

Photoshop cannot import the paths in general. If you copy paths from Illustrator and paste them into Photoshop, we can convert the AICB data to Photoshop paths. If you place or open a file, Photoshop can't do that (it can't handle general case EPS or PDF paths).
But placing an EPS or PDF file will retain the vector nature, so you can resize, rotate, color convert, etc. the content without losing the vector quality. That was added with the Smart Objects feature a while back.

Importing eps files into keynote (or pages)

hi,
i'm running keynote 3 and used to have no trouble at all simply dragging (or importing) eps graphic files into keynote presentations. then for no apparent reason i lost the ability to do this and now when i try to import any eps files, keynote just hangs.
can anyone help?

njmitham,
welcome to Apple Discussions.
EPS files are converted to PDF when you drag them to keynote. The same happens when you open the EPS file with Preview.app.
So, try to open the EPS file with Preview and see what happens. It might not be a Keynote problem but a problem with an image library.

Importing eps files in keynote

It is annoying that keynote 6 does not allows one to import eps files directly into the presentation.
The presentation looks low res when the eps is converted into either a pdf or into other bitmap formats.
My presentations on keynote5 look much crisper when compared to the ones made on keynote6.
Is Apple planning to bring back vector formats into keynote6 ?

How to add metadata on import

I can not for the life of me figure out how to add keywords on importing images. I have scoured the net looking for answers and cant find anything. I see the "Add Metadata from", but there is nothing underneath it where you can add information. The tutorial video from Apple shows fields underneath where you can add information, but I cant figure out how to get that to show up. This is driving me craaaazzzyy!! Any help sure would be appreciated!

I'm having the same issue as the image in the previous post. Anyone else have this too or a fix?
I am running 10.5.4 and the most recent version of Aperture w/ all updates
I have read thru the suggestions and deleted the plist files with no fix.
I also re-installed and the issue remains. The machine I am installing it on was just recently formatted and re-installed.
This is very confusing, looking forward to any help or suggestions.
Thanks,
Ian

Import .eps files...

I am trying to import .eps files into a keynote presentation -- drag and drop or "insert" works fine in Keynote 3, but fails to work in Keynote '08. It does work for gif and jpeg, but the .eps files I just tried to import into a new presentation were greyed out in the menu....
Any suggestions?

I found the problem, and I will post the solution in order to save others the embarrassment. I have been a keynote user since 1.0 and all the old copies were still on my hard-drive. For some reason (which i still do not understand, and probably does not matter) the system decided to open 1.0 instead of Keynote '08 -- and 1.0 did not have .eps import. In '08 everything does indeed work as it should.

How can CS2 not recognize spot colours in an imported .eps file?

Hello
I am using InDesign 4.05 on OSX10.4.11. I have been using InDesign since 1.52 and have always regarded the program as exceptionally bug-free apart from lately as I use CS2 more and more. I am reluctant to upgrade to CS3 just yet.
I am pretty sure I have never seen this behaviour before. If I import an eps of a logo which only consists of two spot colours, the colours are added to the swatches but show as CMYK. Of course if I preflight it then wrongly shows that the doc is CMYK only. If I then create a PDF and then check the PDF in seps view in Acrobat, the colours are showing as CMYK???? I have checked and rechecked the logo with the spot colours in it in Illustrator CS. They are 100% definitely showing as spot. If someone else told me this I would not have believed them - please tell me I am not going mad. What could cause this?
ps. I have another piece of extremely odd behaviour too, which I will do as a separate post.

propage,
I have no trouble at all placing that EPS in CS2. Both spot colours show up.
I distilled it and checked in Acrobat, too.
The only problem is that the lower right yellow bit is *not* a spot colour in Ai.
The detail that the colour names are added to the swatches when you import the EPS indicates that the spots are in there.
That leaves only the conclusion that something is wrong woth your Id document e.g. there are process-swatches of the same name before you place the eps.
>I take it I should abandon eps and move to ai?
Buko would certainly and definitely say so. That's why I quoted him ;)
Most of the rest of us think there are special workflows where working with eps still makes sense but the are rather few and when only Ai and Id are involved Ai is almost always the better choice.
