Converting Illustrator to In Design using copy and paste

I designed a 32 page catalog in Adobe Illustrator but now I need to take it into In Design before I can make a booklet to send to the printer. I tried just copying everyone on an artboard and pasting into In Design but I can't get it to work. Suggestions?

Firstly - Illustrator was not the correct tool to create a 32 page catalogue.
InDesign should have been used from the start.
Secondly - you shouldn't have to create the booklet - that's the printers job. Even when I was in prepress we would have someones send 1000s of single page pdfs. It was no hassle to put all these together and make a booklet.
Thirdly - you could just PDFs of your Illustrator files and then use Acrobat Professional feature to Combine Files.
Fourthly - if you really had to you could File>Place all the documents into InDesign. Then make a PDF from there.
You'd still require Illustrator to edit the files.

  • Missing images and not able to use copy and paste anymore - just blank rect

    Hello!
    I've a problem that really scares me.
    I use severall png and pdf images. But at one point keynote looses the media and just displays these grey rectangles instead of some images. I tried to figure out if it just happens with pdf images and replaced the missing pdf images through png24 images with transparency. It first worked fine (they showed up) and then it tells images can not be saved. If I open the presentation again, the images are missing. And it seems that the more images and slides i put in the presentation, the more images are missing…
    But there is more: I even can't copy and paste these images anymore. If I try to copy one of the images I just have replaced (because they have been lost by saving), it just pastes the blank grey rectangle instead of the image.
    This really is a problem because I now have to repetitive tasks (like same animation for the same image in the same size) over and over again. And when I save the doc – they are al gone again…
    It really scares me and I don't have an idea how to solve this.
    It also happens, if I repleace an pdf image with an png image and than try to copy this new png image. However I am able to drag the image from the Finder again.
    I am working on a PB G4, 1.5 GHz, 1 GB RAM.
    My Keynote Version is 3.0.2.
    The Keynote Dokument is saved and opened from a G4 X-Serve wich is only used by Macs (so no Windows Filesystem anywhere). I still have anough space on both, my local and the server volume. I don't transfer the Keynote document. So it should not be a problem with the names on the files… And the files are just exported from Adobe Illustrator (png 24 files with "save for web" and the pdf files are saved as Illustrator pdf) – so they should really be fine and not corrupted…
    At this time the Keynote document has a size of 179 MB (because of a video) and only 16 slides. And the theme was built from scratch – so no import from Powerpoint or so…
    I looked through the Keynote preferences and found a thing like (sorry self-translated from german version to english) "scale placed images to slide-size". I wondered if keynote saves a copy of the sacaled image after that and corrupts the image itself? But I don't think so.
    I've had these problems with earlier versions of Keynote, but it occured just sporadically and I could solve it through pasting it again. But this time I can not solfe it anymore.
    Does anybody encounter same problem? Or has a hint?
    I really would appreciate, because I have to finish the presentation very soon and are not able to work properly with that. Furthermore, I am scared of saving and opinging the presentation again, because the lost files can not be replaced…

    I now have a hint:
    As a colleague said, he encountered some problems with usagerights on our fileserver (XServe). He said he wasn't able to read files he put on the server himself again…
    If this is true, the same could have happened to Keynote for placed images, as Keynote writes these images as separate files in the doc package…
    I will try to work on my local volume and see if it solfes the problem.
    But sooner or later I will have to place the whole thing on the server again…
    Do you think this is the reason?

  • Why won't illustrator Cs5 allow me to copy and paste layers when they aren't locked?

    I am working on a project and when I try to copy and paste unlocked layers to paste them in to another image it doesn't paste. The only thing it pastes is the text unformatted. I tried resetting the settings by removing the setting file to see if I can set Illustrator back to square one and it isn't working. See Picture for before (copy) and After (paste)

    I am also using windows 8 on a pc. I would say it was the OS but it was working fine untill yesterday. I am begging for help on this. It is really ruining my work flow today.
    Thanks for any help you can give.

    I just opened the document "san_jan_email.ai" and this is what i see:
    i didn't try to copy and past yet, cause the document it seems fine, have you fixed it? otherwise i can say another stupid thing, i dont know if it's cause the document is too "heavy" for your computer? have you seen if you are not going out of ram or of some hard disk space? at first i could thinking about resetting the settings in Illustrator but since you just said that you already did it, and also that you tried with a CS6 copy, i think it's not that the case.
    edit: i tried to copy and paste as well, for me it's working.

  • Cannot use copy and paste function in PSE10?

    Today i went to copy and then paste an image onto another one,i could not use the copy or paste function(in pse 10). Only the paste function was usable  and when i hit it it pasted the picture of an eagle onto the image. This eagle i had copied from a particular website(unrelated to photoshop) amd pasted it to a folder in windows live photo gallery. I tried deleting this eagle from the windows gallery,but still i could paste the eagle onto the other picture.  And it created another layer with the picture of the eagle.This is very strange. How can this be corrected. Also as usual my lassoo tool is malfunctioning in pse 10?  Maybe uninstalling  and re-installing pse 10 would solve the problem  and if so can you give me instructions on how to do this safely or refer me to a link.  Would appreciate a quick reply. Thanks!!

    Thanks Barbara for your help  and your nice explanation as to how the copy and paste function works. Never had a problem before but now it functions normally!

  • Mini Bridge using copy and paste

    I currently have CS5 extended installed on a desktop (xp 32 bit) and a laptop (Win7 64 bit) all files are up to date. When I start Photoshop create a new file, start mini bridge to select the file I want to copy and paste into my new file. I select the file,it opens in Photoshop I press these key strokes (control-A; control-C), move to the file to be copied to and press control-V. The file may or may not be copied. Even pressing control-V several times. You can press edit; paste and still nothing happens. But press edit; paste special; the file will be copied into the file.  If the file is copied on the first try go back and select a different file and repeat the process. To get the file pasted into the document I; created a new layer; control-V; file is copied to a layer.  If I create a new layer then turn off this layer press: control-V the file can also be copied to a layer.  All of the above is when I start mini bridge to navigate to the files. 
    Now close Photoshop and Bridge.  Restart Photoshop start Big Bridge (not mini bridge)! Create a new file; use Big Bridge to navigate to the file you want to copy into the new document, files opens into Photoshop enter the keyboard short cut or tool bar to select the file, copy the file. Now switch to the file to be pasted into  press;control-V or select; file; paste; now everything's works.  Try this process with different files to be pasted into the new document and it works flawless every time.
    The above problem is present on both computers.  My question is has anyone seen this or am I the only one?  I stumbled on this a couple of days ago, sure I can work around this using Big Bridge. 
    Thanks in advance for your replys.

    It seems as though the window is losing focus. If after you Ctrl+C, switch over to the other document and then press the enter key twice or switch tools or click on the document window (with the move tool), then it seems to paste.

  • Using copy and paste in Adobe Bridge 5.0

    When using Adobe Bridge 5.0, and while adding metadata to photos, whenever I use the command control-C to copy and paste metadata entries, my software locks up and I have to reboot.  The last time this happened, I was told to clear my Cache, and that worked, but now I have cleared the cache several times and rebooted, and the software still locks up.

    Hi BOX697,
    I would suggest posting this question in the Adobe Bridge forum, located here: http://forums.adobe.com/community/bridge
    You will probably get a quicker answer there!

  • How to use copy and paste

    how can i use the copy and paste thing in Nokia E71?

    Taken from page 28 of the E71 user guide:
    "To copy text, press and hold the shift key, and scroll to highlight the word, phrase, or line of text you want to copy. Press the function key + chr + c. To insert the text into a document, move to the correct place and press the function key + chr + v."
    Not all text can be highlighted for copying, for example the text from web pages.

  • Numbers 3.1 - erases content of cells when using copy and paste

    I have a spreadsheet that contains formulas in every other column....  A copy and paste of the formulas on this release (delivered with Maverick) erases the content of the adjacent cells in the spreadsheet....
    In other words....  If I select cells C6, E6, G6, I6, etc.  Command C to copy, then paste these cells into  C8, E8, G8, I8, etc using Command V the software erases the content of cells D8, F8, H8, etc....   This copy and paste has worked for years and now it fails, causing me MUCH frustration since the only workaround I have found is to copy the cells one at a time.....
    Thanks for your assistance

  • Using Copy and Paste

    When using "COPY" where does the copied text go so I can retrieve it later and paste it somewhere?

    When you use the "Copy" feature it is stored in a cached area of the device which you cannot see.
    So then next time you tap and click paste it will paste the copied text

    If you copy-paste a structure you'll create copies of all controls and indicators used, whereas if you ctrl+drag you'll duplicate the code but use the same controls. It can cause some baldness.

  • Why can't I copy and paste from Illustrator to Flash?

    I have this silly but frustrating problem. I've drawn a
    series of objects in Illustrator and have copied and pasted many of
    them into separate frames in Flash and all of a sudden they won't
    paste. There are 3 objects I'm trying to paste onto each frame and
    2 of them will paste, but 1 won't. I don't have anything locked and
    I have no clipping masks in Illustrator. They will copy and paste
    in Illustrator. I've tried copy and pasting them separately, I've
    tried opening a new Flash document and pasting, I've tried
    restarting my computer. Does this sound like just another freak
    thing or does anyone have any ideas? Is there some keyboard
    shortcut I might have bumped in Flash to change some hidden
    setting...? But then why is it just 1 of the 3 objects that won't
    paste?
    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    I think I tried all the options and none worked. Even so, the clipboard options say "Clipboard on Quit". That sounds like it has nothing to do with between active programs.
    I'm able to paste from CS5 TO CC though.

  • Copy and paste image from IE to Illustrator

    Dear Illustrator users,
    I need to copy and paste images from IE10 or IE11 (Internet Explorer) to Illustrator (CS6, CC).
    I right-click image, choose "copy" in Internet Explorer
    now I can paste it to mspaint, word, photoshop, etc. It works fine..
    but when I try to paste image to Illustrator, it pastes url link instead of image.
    I know this problem comes with IE10. When I downgrade to IE9, it start to work fine.
    Any suggestion?
    Kind Regards,
    Jarda

    Hi Jacob,
    Thank you for a quick answer. Your suggestion is correct, but saving image to a file is an additional step.
