Can't save IDML format automaticly

Each time I save as IDML in INDesign CC, I have to manually re-choose the IDM file format in the file dropdown in Windows 7. It doesn't just save my open document as it would in any other case. Why do I always have to re enter and choose this file format each and every time although its the same document? It's open and I'm always forced to do the same procedure of manually picking the IDML format every time I hit CTRL+S and that is getting on my nerves. It really shouldn't be like that? The document is open and it should be enough to choose the IDML format the first time I save the document - right? Can't InDesign remember this? Very annoying.

You have serious workflow issues.
The main one being that all your colleagues should be working in the same version of InDesign as you.
Saving back to IDML so someone with CS6 can open it is not a good workflow. Mostly, any new things that InDesign CC14 can do cannot be translated back to CS6, not to mention any new features that CC15 or CC16 may bring to the table.
Just because your agency/company employs a flawed workflow doesn't mean you guys are doing it correctly!
Just so you know - your workflow is not the norm.
However, I have given you the alternate method of using File>Export and choosing IDML from there will retain it as a sticky.

  • How can I save apple-formatted tunes & then switch to microsoft-based softw

    I received an IPod (30 GB) with 6,000 tunes formatted for apple, but I use windows. I have to reformat, but if I, I realize I will lose the existing library of songs that I want to keep. Is there any way I can do this without losing the current downloaded library?

    If you still have access to the Mac iTunes library those songs came from then you can format the iPod on the Windows machine, then plug the iPod back into the Mac, which can read Windows formatted iPods, then you can put the stuff from the Mac machine to the Windows formatted iPod.

  • I am able to click on a picture in iPhoto to edit it opens automatically in photoshop cs6.  However when i am done editing I can not save that image back into iPhoto.  Can anyone help with a setting I am missing maybe?

    I am able to click on a pic in iphoto to edit it and opens automatically in photoshop CS6. However when I am done editing and save I can not save back into Iphoto.  Can any one help wiht this?

    Thanks Terence. What a relief. I still don't understand what the book I read was talking about then. Here's a quote from the section I was referring to in "iPhoto 08: The Missing Manual" book, p 91 (ISBN: 0596-516185):
    "Note, however, that the instant you edit a TIFF-format photo (Chapter 7), iPhoto converts it into JPEG.
    That's fine if you plan to order prints or a photo book (Chapter 11) from iPhoto, since JPEG files are required for those purposes. But if you took that once-in-a-lifetime, priceless shot as a TIFF file, don't do any editing in iPhoto-don't even rotate it- if you hope to maintain its perfect, pristine quality."
    After my test results, I thought maybe this was something that had changed from iPhoto 08 to iPhoto 09, so I went to the bookstore yesterday and checked the same book for iPhoto 09, and there it was, the same quote! (on a different page, of course).
    Anyway, thanks once again for your confirmation that my test was indeed correct. Linda

  • How can i save a data in text format

    how can i save a data in text format in labwindows cvi
    Message Edited by Tikoy on 04-14-2010 11:30 PM
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi,
    If your data is in an array, the easiest way is to use the ArrayToFile function.
    It automatically creates a file and puts your data in it according to the format you provide.
    If you have individual samples that you need to write once in a while, you can either collect them into an array and then use ArrayToFile or open a file with fopen and write them as they are acquired with fwrite.
    Hope this helps,

  • Can you save your own theme and button set up so I can use the same format

    Can you save your own theme and button set up, so I can use this same format for similar content. I want to keep the button content and the theme the same without having to create it everytime? I am trying to streamline the process for multiple dvd's with the same menu and buttons but different content. Does that make sense?

    I am only new to this caper too, but I am pretty sure you can save a theme as a favourite by pressing the "save theme as favourite" button under file. If you have edited an existing theme but don't want to lose it, make sure you untick the replace existing button.

    If you have a Mid 2010 model: Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery. If later then see below:
    Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
    Partition and Format the hard drive:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    If you have an earlier model:
    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
             with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
             After the chime press and hold down the  "C" key.  Release the key when you see
             a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
         2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
             button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
             After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
             size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
             and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
             (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
             Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
             username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
             Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
             install of OS X.  You can now begin the update process by opening Software
             Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

    I also just ran a quick test on a blank document and using the exact pixel dimensions as the OP I do NOT get the option of PDF - either in CMYK or RGB. This was also done in 8-bit @ 300dpi.
    EDIT:// But reducing the width to 30,000 DID allow me to save as PDF. Must be a maximum pixel size for these file types.
    Well caught.  I rounded the file size down to 100 inches wide which gave me 30,000 pixels.  Adding a single pixel to the width gave me the same save options as the OP.

  • Can I save a file created in CS5 format .ai version 7?

    Hello
    I use a software that interfaces between my pc and laser engraver machine. This software can import documents only in formats of AutoCAD and Adobe Illustrator version 7.0.
    Currently I make my drawings with CorelDrawX3 and later export to .ai 7.
    Now I want to update my software, but the new version of CorelDraw not allow me to export to 7.0. I can make the effort and pay Illustrator (and change my drawing habits), but ¿can I save as 7.0 in the latest version of Adobe Illustrator?
    Thanks

    The latest versions only have 10, (9), 8 and 3 as Save options. No version 7. Sorry.

  • Can't save photoshop documents in correct format?

    I can't save in any other formats than these:
    I've tried reinstalling photoshop CS5, and still no luck.
    D:
    It gives me the options when I change the settings to either 8-bit, or 16-bit. But I can't get it to work for 32-Bit.

    This is what the manual says anyway.

  • HT1320 how can i save me data stored on a non responding ipod classic and says you need to format before using it?

    how can i save me data stored on a non responding ipod classic and says you need to format before using it?
    in another way : how can i save my date stored on my classic iPOD as a external hard .... when that msgs appears .... volume doesn't contain a recognized file system , make sure the file system is loaded .... then , you need to format ??? can anyone help ?

    It sounds like the iPod's storage has data corruption.  You may be able to treat it like an external drive and use data recovery software on it, but it probably won't work because the system is telling you that the drive needs to be formatted before it is recognized.
    If the problem is data corruption and there is no hardware-related problem on the iPod's hard drive, a Restore should fix the problem.  But this will obviously erase the iPod's hard drive.

  • How can I save a Flash or .swf file in AVI format without losing quality?

    How can I save a Flash or .swf file in AVI (or another video) format without losing quality?

    As long as you don't have code in your animation then just hit File->Export->Export Movie, then configure the options.
    Here's an article on exporting sound, images and video. Just skip on down to exporting AVI and it explains the process. The codec is in the Video Compression section. When you click Settings for Video Compression, the codec is in the drop-down at the top. There's various kinds but to get lossless quality AVI you'll have to choose Uncompressed / None for full quality. Again, the file will be huge and you'll need to use another program (like Adobe Media Encoder) or Microsoft Windows Media Encoder, etc, depending on what format you intend to compress it ultimately.
