Convert Indesign file to editable Powerpoint presentation?

I know I can save an indesign file to a pdf and convert to powerpoint from there, but not everything translates. Drop shadows, some dingbats, and some text formatting do not translate, so I have to edit within powerpoint.
I read about a plugin called ID2Office v2.0. Has anyone heard of it or used it?
Thanks!

Hello
I represent Recosoft. We make ID2Office (http://www.recosoft.com/products/id2office). This exports/converts InDesign CS5-CC 2014 files to PowerPoint, Word and Keynote formats. You can view the Youtube video I've posted below how it converts the file:

  • Batch Convert InDesign Files to PDF: Acrobat 9 Pro Opens CS3

    A question came up in the InDesign forum about batch converting InDesign files. I've never really needed to do it but I was aware of the batch convert command. The OP reported errors so I tried it myself and while it worked, for some reason Acrobat 9 Pro is opening InDesign CS3 even though I have CS4 and CS5 installed.
    I can't seem to find any way to change the default for INDD files. I tried launching ID CS5 first, but Acrobat still launched ID CS3. If I double click an INDD file in Windows Explorer, it opens in CS5 so the operating system has the default correct.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Bob

    Thanks,
    I just found that out, too.
    What I'd like to find out is how to fix this.

  • Convert mts files for editing in Final Cut?

    Is there a way to convert mts files for editing in Final Cut Express or Pro?

    Well, first, if you are talking about AVCHD video, FCE & FCP can directly import it from your camcorder.  They will also import AVCHD from an SD card or even your hard drive provided you have saved the entire AVCHD folder structure, not just the .mts files by themselves.
    If you only have the .mts files (without the surrounding AVCHD folder strucutre) then you should be able to use MPEG Streamclip to convert them to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec for editiing in FCE.  MPEG Streamclip is free and works great.
    If that doesn't work, then look into ClipWrap, which has a $49.99 price tag.
    This will work the same for converting .mts files to ProRes assuming you already have FCP installed, which gives you the ProRes codec.
    FCE & FCP do not, however, directly import video from DSLRs because the camera manufacturers have each done some proprietary stuff in their implementation of video in their DSLRs.  However, if you have a Canon DSLR & FCP (that is, FCP 7) there is a Canon EOS video plugin that will enable you import the video directly from the DSLR into FCP7.  Not sure it's supported on Lion (10.7.x) just yet, but if you have a Canon DSLR it's worth a look.

  • Convert InDesign File to a Word Document

    I am trying to convert a file from an InDesign file to a word document and have fallen into a problem. I also have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and have tried to save my InDesign file as a PDF, so far so good. It looks perfect, but when I save the PDF as a .doc all of the text and pictures have moved around and the different frames used in InDesign have joined and there is no way to rearrange the pages like they were originally. I need to convert these pages to Word Perfect so that I can send them out and they can be edited. How can an InDesign file be saved to be used with Word Perfect? I thought if I converted it to a PDF and then to a word, everything would be fine, but the file isn't be converted correctly.

    > How can an InDesign file be saved to be used with Word Perfect?
    Short answer is you can't do it easily. Didn't you post this question in
    ID forum awhile back?
    If not, it was discussed there and you might want to search there. If it
    was you, nothing's changed. What you want to do is just plain work and
    you'll never get the same type of layout in a word processor as you will
    in a pagelayout application.

  • When I convert InDesign file to pdf, the background of my image is no longer transparent

    I am working with InDesign CS3, and when I place a .gif file onto the document, the background of the image is transparent, which is what I want. However, when I convert the InDesign file to a pdf, that same image shows up in a white box. Why is this happening? Is there a setting that I am missing when I convert it? Thanks in advance

    I am converting it via export, and actually it is an ai file, my apologies.
    The white box does not appear in InDesign print preview. 
    I corrected the link, but still no luck.
    I am opening the document in Adobe reader, and overprint preview is turned on.
    Keep the suggestions coming please! I really appreciate it.

  • Convert .VOB file to edit in FCPX

    Can anyone please suggest the best way to convert a .vob file to edit in Final Cut Pro X?  I read that Mpeg Streamclip was the business, but when I load the .vob file, it appears only as a sound file with no video.  The .vob is definately a video file.  I also get a message about Apple Quicktime Mpeg-2 playback component is not installed.  It says I have to buy this part, but I haven't read anything about needing this.  Maybe I do. 
    Besides "how", also what is the best format to convert to for editing in FCPX?
    Thanks!

    Frokm the MPEG Streamclip web site
    The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion and Mountain Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion and Mountain Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
    To install the component in Lion or Mountain Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b8 betaabove; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component M. Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion or Mountain Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
    The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion and Mountain Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion and Mountain Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.
    Thanks, I downloaded and installed the beta from Squared5.com.  However,when I run the Utility MPEG2 Component M.Lion, I get a dialog "Please double-click the file QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg to open the quicktime MPEG2 disk image". 
    How/where do I get the QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg?  e.g., trusted site.  Do I need to purchase the MPEG-2 Playback Component from the Apple Online Store?

  • Convert video files to editable format to use on PrPro CS4

    Hello,
    I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 v4.2.1 (I can't use CS5 because I have a 32-bit system). I'm running it on HP Pavilion dv9750, Windows 7, 2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor T7500, 2GB RAM (DDR2) and NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS.
    I'm planning to create a clip of about 4-5 minutes, that would be projected on a big screen. My sources are photos, WMV (from Windows Live Movie Maker), MOV (from iphone 4), and MP4 files. I must use these sources. I'm aware my computer is pretty weak, but that's all I have right now. I know I should convert these files to a more editable format. Which one would you recommend? I'm using Xilisoft Video Convertor Ultimate 6 to convert my files (Maybe there is a way to do it through PrPro?)
    I was thinking of creating the project in 9:16 ratio. None of the files are in HD, so maybe I should create it 720p quality? Which preset would you recommend? Which output would you recommend?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    There are a number of video apps available in the iTunes App Store that can easily handle those videos without any need for conversions. Do a search in the iTunes app on your computer for the file types and it will show video apps that can open those file types.
    If VLC 2 ever makes it to the iTunes App Store, be sure to grab it, it will be free, I use VLC 1.1 on my iPad for avi files, but it is no longer available in the iTunes App Store.

  • Options for converting '.vob' files for editing in PP Pro CS3...

    Hi,
    I'm using PP Pro CS3 (Windows) and I have a few projects here where the source material are '.vob' files only.
    Now because PP Pro doesn't support that file format, I'm looking for options to convert this footage to a format - suitable for editing in PP Pro CS3 - that does NOT explode in file size.
    Converting to uncompressed .avi is up 20 times the file size, DV .avi is about 5-10 times the file size.
    Here are the options I've tried so far:
    1. importing '.vob' files straight into PP via the Avisynth method
    --> works, but PP crashes randomly and it always crashes when rendering more than 2-3 min
    --> all my system drivers are up to date
    2. renaming to .mpg or .avi
    --> works for some files (only) but you get random red frames in your footage
    3. converting to mpeg-2 via...
    a. Carbon Coder - best quality so far - looks like original
    b. Premiere Elements 4 - no de-interlacing option, takes way too long, quality worse than original
    c. MPEGStreamclip - no options selectable, quality is worse than original
    4. converting to 'DV avi' via...
    Carbon Coder - PE 4 - MPEGStreamclip - VirtualDubMod
    --> file size explodes (5-10 times of the original .vob file), quality looks on all kinda the same and NOT better than the mpeg-2 output from Carbon Coder - that's why I don't wanna take the storage hit...
    Are there any other methods or ways to convert '.vob' files to a suitable editing format (with a reasonable file size) ?
    Thanx for your help !
    Mike

    Take the storage hit and be done with it. Hard drives are cheap these days. Editing takes lots of space. Might as well get used to it.

  • Converted InDesign file for smaller .pdfs

    A year ago I created an InDesign file that, when I open it the words - 125%(converted), are added to the name of the file (after the .indd). You can't see - @125% (converted), in the file name when the file is closed.
    Does anyone know how I must have created this, "converted" file?

    It's been created with an older version, that's all. The text in the title is there to remind you.
    If you need to know what it was created with, open the document, hold Apple (presumably -- on the Windows vs it's Control), and select "About InDesign". There it shows the full document history.

  • "font" problems when converting InDesign file to negative

    the printing service we use for our college newsletter, which is done in InDesign CS3, says he is having "font problems" when he turns the file into a negative (the master used for printing paper copies of the newsletter). I use only a standard font, "Times," in various sizes.
    he did not have this problem with InDesign CS2, and he is as yet unable to explain exactly what the problems are but said there are 3 pieces of equipment involved that each contribute to the problem: old vs new operating systems (OS) in RIP unit and workstation to newest applications and older RIP unit. (I haven't a clue what any of this means...)
    he has asked we create an "outline" of the InDesign file before sending it and believes doing that may help. however, when I create an outline of the document, all of the font turns bright red-- is this what is supposed to happen or am I doing something wrong?
    can anyone help me figure out how to help the printer?

    The .sitx file extension is a Stuffit executable, a way of compressing files so that they take less time to transfer. This has nothing to do with your problem.
    What I'm recommending is that you Export PDF (File > Export > Adobe PDF). Choose the Press Quality preset and send the resulting PDF to your printer. Scott's suggestion will give you a PDF with outlined type, but before you go that route, try a Press Quality PDF, which will have live type and embedded fonts.
    The best reason for sending PDF to your printer is to avoid font problems.

  • Converting InDesign File to PDF for Web

    Hi,
    I designed an ad that is to be used for web view only in InDesign (CS3 on PC). The file restrictions I have been given require that it is 72dpi and a PDF file. When I convert to PDF(smallest file size,no spot colors, compressed), I end up with a file that is 4MB. I'm assuming a file that is 72dpi and 6.25"x9.25" shouldn't be that big. When I look at the "Audit Space Usage" window, 90% is under "Contents Stream" (I don't know what this means).
    I'm new to creating files for web viewing so I'm not sure how to go about accomplishing this without losing image quality. I've tried "reducing file size" and the "PDF Optimizer" in Acrobat. I always get the message "The PDF document contained image masks that were not downsampled." when I attempt this.
    What do I need to do to create a PDF file with these specifications that will retain some of the image quality (won't look pixelated and be read-able)? I don't mind recreating the ad in Illustrator, or Photoshop if I can guarantee that I can end up where I need to be.
    I would really appreciate any tips on this!!

    You mention pictures. If the file is mostly pictures, then the first step is to reduce the picture content, possibly by using 256 colors rather than millions and such. Check the properties of the settings file for the conversion (I don't have current versions available to check right now - you also did not mention your Acrobat version). It is probably best to down sample in a graphics program such as Illustrator or Photoshop (depending on the image being vector or bitmap) and then include them in the original. It is always a good idea to work on a copy and leave the original in place. Trying to do the reduction in Acrobat is not the best approach.

  • Converting raw files post editing

    I'm new to iPhoto as I usually use Photoshop CS4...after my hard drive was replaced, CS4 would not run.
    Soooooooo
    After I edit a RAW file in iPhoto, how do I convert it to jpeg for sharing, storage, printing, etc?

    To add to what Larry said:
    The Raw workflow is like this:
    Import a Raw. It's copied in as a byte by byte copy. Then a Jpeg Preview is made automatically.
    Why the preview? As you know, you can't really do much with a Raw - print it, use it in a slideshow or in a document - so iPhoto creates the preview so the shot is available in other apps immediately.
    When you edit the Raw your decisions are recorded in the iPhoto Database, your Raw file is untouched - just like any photo in iPhoto. The Prevew is updated with your new decisions.
    If you then share the file via the Media Browsers etc, it's the Preview that get shared. You can print it from iPhoto.
    Other than that you can then export it in a variety of formats - Jpeg, Tiff, Png for more varied options. You do this via the File -> Export command. This User Tip
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
    As for storing: it's stored in the iPhoto Library and permanently available.
    The difference at heart here is that CS4, which you're used to, works as a file editor. iPhoto works as a non-destructive photo processor.
