Can an illustrator or photoshop file be exported into InDesign?

Hi,
I need someone to create a layout for me & he doesn't know InDesign, only Illustrator or Photoshop.
Once he's done the work, can int then be imported into InDesign if I want someone else to make changes to it in InDesign?
Thanks

Yip, Placing via File, Place is how you import AI and PS files into InDesign but cannot be edited.  They will be linked into InDesign though so the edits can be made using AI or PS and they will update in ID.
If it is a simple drawing made in AI, without any special or AI specific effects applied, then you can sometimes copy and paste from AI to ID and then you can edit it in ID, otherwise it will paste as an embedded EPS.

    How can i turn a photoshop file into a website with knowing code? can i upload Muse or DreamWeaver?
    I created a few images (pages for a site) on photoshop and want to turn them into HTML code for a website- Can i Just upload the file into one of these programs and make a file with the correct code imediatly?
    I was reading about using EDGE Reform but i did not understand if i can create the code with it, in the end it says it still needs to be sent to website developer after?

    You need to look at Dreamweaver as a code editor. You need to learn to create good, clean HTML code with style sheets to make websites with Dreamweaver.
    There are tutorials that will take you from a layered .PSD file to HTML. Here's a good one:
    http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/site-builds/from-psd-to-html-building-a-set-of-website-d esigns-step-by-step/
    Adobe's Muse is a semi-WYSIWYG website layout creator for small websites (1-5 pages). But there is no way you can go from a .PDS file to Muse, you have to start the site in Muse.
    I have seen a few Muse sites and they're OK, but there is some code that Muse creates that is kind of odd. If you want a good, clean website that will work for you or your business, Dreamweaver is the best choice. Alternatively, you could hire a pro.

  • Slow to open Illustrator and Photoshop files from FileServer

    I have a client that has 5 or so Mac users who cannot open Illustrator and Photoshop files from our Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard. At first, we thought it might be the size of the files over the network because some files are 2-3GB, but they are even having issues with files 200KB. We also tested network and bandwidth speeds, but they are all connected to Gigabit connections and running with PowerMacs.
    Some users have a workaround by copying the files to their desktop to open, but that is becoming tedious as well.
    Does anyone have another solution or know what might be cause to this?

  • How can one  read a Excel File and Upload into Table using Pl/SQL Code.

    How can one read a Excel File and Upload into Table using Pl/SQL Code.
    1. Excel File is on My PC.
    2. And I want to write a Stored Procedure or Package to do that.
    3. DataBase is on Other Server. Client-Server Environment.
    4. I am Using Toad or PlSql developer tool.

    If you would like to create a package/procedure in order to solve this problem consider using the UTL_FILE in built package, here are a few steps to get you going:
    1. Get your DBA to create directory object in oracle using the following command:
    create directory TEST_DIR as ‘directory_path’;
    Note: This directory is on the server.
    2. Grant read,write on directory directory_object_name to username;
    You can find out the directory_object_name value from dba_directories view if you are using the system user account.
    3. Logon as the user as mentioned above.
    Sample code read plain text file code, you can modify this code to suit your need (i.e. read a csv file)
    function getData(p_filename in varchar2,
    p_filepath in varchar2
    ) RETURN VARCHAR2 is
    input_file utl_file.file_type;
    --declare a buffer to read text data

    utl_file.get_line(input_file, input_buffer);
    --debug
    --dbms_output.put_line(input_buffer);
    utl_file.fclose(input_file);
    --return data
    return input_buffer;
    end;
    Hope this helps.

    I can't save previous word files I have into iWork's, I have dropped the file into pages, but it says it can't convert text, even though I have changed a selective fond from pages! Help!

    Take us through this in more detail.
    What is the Word file? From a PC?
    What version of Word and what is the file extension?
    What is it about the text that is different?
    When you say fond do you mean font/typeface? If so what font, and is it on your Mac? Is there something special/different about this font?

  • How do you Place rtf files from LibreOffice into InDesign CS6

    I am new to InDesign CS6. I am having a problem Placing LibreOffice rtf files into InDesign.
    I am using LibreOffice 4.3.2.2, Lotus WordPro, and Windows 7. I am saving my work in rtf files. Each page has two columns.
    Placing rtf files from WordPro into InDesign works with no problems, but - I wonder just how long WordPro will continue to work with Windows 7 so I would like to switch to LibreOffice.
    When I Place a rtf file that has two columns from LibreOffice into InDesign, I get a loaded text cursor, but nothing loads. I can take this same file, remove the columns so there is only one column, and it loads just as it should. Further, if I load the one column file into a Master set up for two columns, the file loads into two columns with all the proper formating.
    Please guide me in how to Place the LibreOffice two column rtf files into InDesign.
      Thanks.

    Thanks to everyone who read about my problem. I have solved it myself by using "RTF Import Options."

  • Importing Illustrator and Photoshop files to Premiere Pro CS4 (without rastering)

    Hello,
    I've made some economics graphs in illustrator that i'm importing into premiere.
    Premiere pro cs4 doesn't import illustrator files as layers, just a single image.
    I exported from illustrator to save as a .psd to maintain the layers.
    I then imported the .psd into premiere which created a folder with all the .psd layers.
    I dragged the .psd layers onto the timeline so I could animate them with dissolves, but noticed they became pixelated.
    I rendered the layers and they still looked pixelated, even after export they were pixelated.
    From what I understand, illustrator files become rasterised when you export as .psd.
    Is there any way of maintaining the crisp vector graphics created in illustrator when importing into premiere?
    Can I avoid rastering the files?
    Thank for your help in advance
    Kind Regards
    Ant

    Thanks for your reply and welcome to the forum.
    I wondered why premiere was doing such a bad job of anti-aliasing...it turns out that all the .psd files were imported as square pixels instead of rectangular so I right clicked and selected interpret footage, then selected conform to DV PAL1.45.
    I assumed that as I set up the original Illustrator document as a video document (720x576) it would maintain the aspect ratio.
    Somewhere between exporting to .psd then to premiere the aspect ration somehow changed?
    I've found a great tutorial that appears to have a better workflow than the method I was using, by first creating a template in premiere, which can be exported directly to photoshop, maintaing  the correct aspect ratio. It means i'll have to draw up the graphs in Photoshop now instead of Illustrator.

  • How can I make title screens in either Illustrator or Photoshop and import them into Premiere Pro?

    I'm having trouble finding the identical aspect ratio to import either an Illustrator or Photoshop title screen into Premiere Pro. There are so many ratios to choose from with Premiere Pro that I've about lost my mind. I was able to import Photoshop title screens into iMovie with no problem. I'll be importing the finished video into my YouTube channel. I want it to be widescreen but have no clue which ratio to use. Thanks for any help you can provide.

    I always start with New Image in Photoshop, and then choose a Video Preset, that matches my PrPro Sequence. I use one with Guides. I usually choose to create that New Image with a Transparent Background.
    Once complete, I just do a Save_As to PSD, which will be Imported into PrPro. If you have Ps Layers, you have two choices on Import: you can Import as Footage, which will Flatten your Layers, or you can Import as a Sequence to keep the Layers separate. Depending on what I will be doing, I might select one, or the other. If you Import as a Sequence, you can then animate each Layer individually.
    Good luck,

  • Simple Edits to Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop files

    We need to be able to make simple edits to Photoshop and Illustrator files -- e.g. fixing typos. I am hesitant to buy a copy of both programs at over $1000 when we will be using 0.01% of the program!
    Desire is to open, make edit, save in original format.

  • I can't open some photoshop files it says "The command "Set" is not currently available."

    What does this mean and how can I fix it? A corworker will make a photoshop file (Poster for example) and when i try to open it on my computer it wont open and says "The command “Set” is not currently available." What does this mean and how can I fix it? Thanks!

    You are running some sort of automation when you open files - because that error message comes from automation (actions, scripts or plugins) that are trying to target something that isn't there.
    Event Scripts was the obvious choice.
    Automation plugins, or Flash Panels are the next most obvious -- try disabling all third party plugins and Flash Panels.
    The error might come from Generator, if you have the latest Photoshop CC.

  • How can I have a smaller file in export ?

    Hi! I have the last version of Imovie, if I import a video of 120 minutes (500 mb / 720p) and then I want to share it as file, with the same quality, the dimension of the video go up to 7gb... How can I have a smaller file? 

    You might try "Export as QuickTime..., click on the Options, then Settings, and select a lower level of compression, fewer key frames, a restricted lower data rate.  Also, click on the Size... button and make sure your setting it to 720p, not to 1080. 
    Lower "Quality" in compression may affect fast motion, but not the resolution of most images.

  • Can't import layered photoshop files

    In Motion's File Browser all I get is a big white image with an error message saying "This layered photoshop file wasn't saved with a composite image". I have maximum compatibility checked in photoshop (for saving files) which is the ONLY thing in PS that mentions saving with composite images.
    This is lame. But not as mind-numbingly lame as not being able to modify JPGs (already in use in Motion) without quitting the program, saving the JPG, then re-opening Motion to get the file to update.
    Apple really needs to make this program more compatible with the world's most common photographic editing program!

    I use layered Photoshop files on a regular basis with no issues. Make sure the .psd file is in the RGB color space - won't work in CMYK or greyscale.

  • Can LR Web module converting file name hyphens into underscores be disabled

    Hi,
    I have problems when creating webpages from within LR.
    First I develop the RAW files and converts them to jpegs. Under Lightroom 3 I use the following settings under "Export location":
    Export to: Specific Folder
    Add to This Catalog: ticked
    Existing Files: Choose a new name for the exported file
    This is thus native Lightroom. For existing files the new filenames are generated with a hyphen follwed by a numeric suffix. as follows: for FileName.jpg this would be FileName-2.jpg, FileName-3.jpg.
    Afterwards I use the web module with the TTG Highslide Pro plugin to generate the webpages. For each image on the page there is a link to the original image to download it. It is here where a problem occurs. With the above mentioend naming convention (adding a hypen when files do already exist) there is no problem at all to display the photos nor as a tumbnail, nor in the slideshow.
    When trying to download the high resolution image however a problem occurs. The file can't be found. This is due to the hyperlink pointing to filenames like FileName_2.jpg and FileName_3.jpg. As the image itself is having a hyphen followed by a numeric suffix it can't be found when the link is pointing to that file using an underscore instead.
    So to me that's a little problem as I am not at the steering wheel at any of the two moments where a naming convention is applied; the automatic filename generation at time of export from Lightroom and the change of the hyphen to the underscore when generating the webpage.
    Any Idea how this can be solved? Or having an underscore used by the automatic naming in Lightroom, or using the hyphen (leaving the filename as it is) when generating the webpage with the LR web module.
    I posted that question already at the TTG forum and got the following respnse from Matthew: "Lightroom's Web module converts file name hyphens into underscores. It's not something I have any control over at all."
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Kind regards,
    Patrick

    I have the same problem in that filenames created with (for instance) photographer-place--year_month_day-filename.cr2 are exported by Lightroom 3.4.1 correctly, without change, into jpg versions, but TTG Highslide Gallery Pro (or, rather, Lightroom) forces a conversion eliminating the dashes and replacing them by underscores. TTG states on its website that this is unavoidable in the Lightroom web module, and recommends entering one's wishes in the "File Handling" tab within Lightroom Preferences.
    However, my LR preferences include the standard File Name Generation option "Replace illegal file name characters with: Dashes (-)" so this would indicate that a dash is not regarded by Lightroom as illegal and therefore should be left alone. As is in fact the case on a normal export from a raw cr2 to jpg: no change in Lightroom and therefore no problem. But export via LR via TTG causes an unwanted conversion from dashes to underscores.
    While searching the web I came across this old post http://thephotogeek.com/ttg-web-gallery-client-selections-lightroom/
    which mentions the question as a LR2 bug.
    I then exported a web gallery using LR's standard web template and here too all file names are converted from dashes to underscores, despite what is entered in LR's preferences. So my conclusion is that this remains a LR bug, and no fault of TTG.
    I am delighted with TTG and couldn't do without it, but am still stuck with this issue which shouldn't need to be an issue at all, if only LR would leave things alone.
