CS3 InDesign: How do I make a framework?

How do I make a framework?
Thanks

aha!
Well, a picture is supposedly worth a thousand words, so here's 2,000 for you:
I made a rectangle with 6mm width to visually estimate the stroke weight. It's really easy to get InDesign to show object dimensions in millimeters, but I couldn't figure out how to specify stroke weight in millimeters in a reasonable amount of time. So 17 points is my close-enough guess as to how to specify a 6mm stroke.
That picture of two squares right underneath the tab of the "Swatches" panel will let you select whether you're choosing a color for the frame edge (stroke) or the inside of the frame (fill).
Any questions?

New to indesign how do i make a magazine to pdf and get code for website

Hi,
I am learning indesign, I cannot seem to figure out how to create a magazine than convert it to PDF and get a html code so I can have display on my website. Is this even possiable? I have watch the videos maybe I am missing something. Can someone offer advice please or links.
Thank you.

Here are some sites for learning html/css. Some sites are getting a bit old, I have not updated the link for the w3.org site yet. But this should point you in the right direction. And make sure your pop up blocker is on, some of these site will open a new window with an ad. I tried to mark as many as I could, but I may have missed a few.

When placing an image in InDesign how do I make sure it's not too pix-elated?

Do I change its pixel count in Photoshop? I'm creating a brochure in InDesign and It looks blurry when I place it as my background.

You should also consider the size of the image (pixels) relative to its print size.
e.g.
desired print resolution: 300dpi
desired image print dimension: 8.5" wide
necessary pixel width: 8.5" x 300dpi = 2550px
For a 'background' image, you may be satisfied with 150-200dpi, so the 8.5"-wide image could be as small as 1275-1700px wide.

How do I make Indesign CS3 the default rather than Indesign CS4?

Indesign 6.0.2 is driving me crazy, that spinning ball spins for every character I type. It takes 5 minutes to write one word. I want to use CS3 instead, which works great with dynamic spelling, which I have turned off in CS4, but don't want to dump CS4. How do I make CS3 the default? When I open CS3 and save, it saves it as CS4 so to open it I can't click on it I have to open CS3 first. Illustrator in CS4 works great.

The only way to make a mac recognize CS3 as default would be to completely remove CS4.
In OSX new version trumps older versions. you can however have both apps open drop files you know are cs3 on the CS3 dock Icon or an Alias on your desktop. CS3 does not save as CS4 its just that the OS makes all ID files look like the newest version.

How do you make images transparent in inDesign?

How do you make images transparent in Adobe InDesign CS5.5?

Dittco wrote:
It IS possible: Select the image. Open effects (Window > Effects). Switch from "normal" to "multiply". Viola! White background is gone.
That only works with a white background. In addition, it introduces a transparency effect, with its associated problems.
With a rather light background: Select the image. Open clipping path (Object > Clipping Path > Options). Select Type > Detect Edges; use Threshold and Tolerance to get as close as possible to the edge of your image. This may be difficult because of a too low resolution image, or too much fringe on the edge -- if all fails, use the Inset Frame value to force the mask "into" the image. Click OK, and the background is gone.
But that's not the only way: you can always create a clipping path manually, and then you are in total control, not limited by transparency side effects, auto-edge detection, and busy backgrounds.

How can i make a photo that is 10 x 6.6 to 10 x 8 without changing the image in Photoshop CS3?

How can I make a photo that is 10 x 6.6 to 10 x 8 without changing the image in Photoshop CS3?

I could be snarky and say change the image in a different version of Photoshop, but NO...
The only way to make a photo that is one size into another size is to change the image. You have a few choices about how to change it:
One way is to simply expand the height from 6.6 to 8 inches using Image>Canvas Size, using the default setting of having the image centered and leaving the background either black or white, your preference. This will add background color to the top and bottom of your image. This won't change the image itself, but it will change its surroundings.
Another way is to resize the image using Image>Image Size, entering the new dimensions after turning off the aspect ratio lock (resample on). This will stretch the image vertically, however, so it's probably not a good option.
Finally, you could resize the image using Image>Image Size, leaving the aspect ratio lock on and resample on, and increase the height from 6.6 to 8. This will have the secondary effect of enlarging the width from 10" to a greater width. Then you crop the resulting image back down to 10" width, which involves losing some edge areas of the image.

CS3, Encore; How to make a file for a mediaplayer

Hallo there,
How can I make a file in Encore CS3 that is readeble in a mediaplayer like a Popcorn.
I know how to build a Blu-ray ofcourse, but I want to deliver a file to my customer for his mediaplayer.
Can someone help me, because Adobe helpline in Holland does not cover Adobe CS3 anymore.
I hope to hear from someone out there on this planet
Greetings,
Bert

From Encore nothing that results in a single file.
2 options.
1) Build to a folder and play the DVD folder. The method varies on the mediaplayer. For Windows Media Player on XP, I just right click the first .ifo file in the VIDEO_TS folder and "Play."
2) From Encore, Export to Flash. The produces a web page (and folders) that can be played locally through a browser.

How can I take my pdf book and revert it to indesign so I can make a few changes on it?

How can I take my pdf book and revert it to indesign so I can make a few changes on it?

As far as I know, the best approach is to place pdf-file into a new InDesign document with “Multi Page Importer” script. Then create a new layer above the layer with PDFs and make small edits there creating new objects – text frames, etc – and hiding the original parts in the PDF below.
That isn't an option - the obscured content will often still export and it'll completely mess up accessibility and compliance.
The only true option would be to export a Word file from the PDF (using Acrobat Pro), import the text into a brand new INDD document using the usual style-mapping workflows, then export the images from the PDF separately and place them all back into the layout. Quicker than typing it all in again, but only just. Consider it a learning curve.

I upgraded from snow leopard to mavericks only to find that my backup files of all my CS3 indesign, illustrator, photoshop wo't run, how do I uninstall mavericks and get my old system back

I upgraded from snow leopard to mavericks only to find that my backup files of all my CS3 indesign, illustrator, photoshop wo't run, how do I uninstall mavericks and get my old system back. I retired from graphics a few years back but still have old clients I do work for and maintain files for. Would not have upgraded if I had known of the incompatability.

You did not due any due dilligence to investigate if your legacy apps would run, you should upgrade your apps. However if you feel you have to downgrade back to SL then click

How can I make a small swf file out of InDesign

I have a 200 page book (PDF). I am trying to make a flip book to preview in web browser. How can I make a small swf file out of InDesign with the PDF I have?

There is another point:
if you are using JPEG images together with SWF as output file format, you could get smaller images by:
1. using the Export For Web menu for generating size optimized JPEGs in PhotoShop opposed to Save As JPEG
2. stripping all color management (ICC) information off the files (SWF is not very good in color management besides sRGB, I think…)

How do you make InDesign CS5.5 save a mixed-case word to the user dictionary?

My spell checker will save most words to the user dictionary, but not all upper case or mixed case words. In my work these are often these since the are commonly used acronyms.
How do I make it save these to the user dictionary?

You haven't mentioned that you have an Adobe product that can create forms but if you have Acrobat, you would save it as a Reader extended PDF (you may or may not want t use Designer as mentioned above. That creates a certain type of form which it sounds like you don't need).
As far as the usage limit, if only a few people will be filling it in, they can do it an unlimited amount of times. The 500 limit only comes to play if you have sent the form to an unspecified amount of people (such as a form for customers that is available on a web site). Then you could only collect the data from that form 500 times.
But, let's talk a little more about what software you have. Acrobat? If so, what version (saving the extended file for Reader users is different between versions.)?

Promblem opening .indl file in cs3 indesign

I have an .indl file from taken from a mac version of CS3 at school. I operate a CS3 version on vista and when I try to open the file I get this message. Any suggestions?

Ah yes, MateoMM, as Jongware has pointed out please ignore what I said about indl not sounding right! It's a "library file" rather than an Indesign document. But the fact it has likely been created in CS4 or 5 is the reason you can't open it in CS3. As to how you can make a library compatible with an earlier version though I am completely stumped.

How do I make multiple buttons in my flash animation?

I am new to flash, and I have no training in it whatsoever. I
created a flash animation with flash CS3 for my photography
website, and I want to link each of the images to different
galleries on my site. When I created my first button it worked
fine, but when I try to create actions to link more than one image
as a button, keep getting an error that says "1021: Duplicate
function definition." How do I make each image as a separate
button?
I used the video of this tutorial as my guide to learn how to
create a button:
http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/flash/articles/flacs3it_firstflash_pt1.html
Also, when I run the animation to test it, it loops, and I
don't want it to loop. How do I stop it from looping?

I used the method shown in the tutorial I mentioned to create
it (created a new layer for the button, selected the area of the
image for the button,used modify -> convert to symbol
-> button, I edited it so it was an invisible button by
moving it to the hit frame, gave the selected area an instance name
of Hizumi_btn, inserted a new layer for actions and added the code
I have attached to this post.
I assumed that I would just need to repeat this procedure for
each of the other images in my animation, but when I did that I
received the error.
I greatly appreciate any help you can give me.
Thanks for the information on how to stop the animation.
Here is the code I used to create my first button.

How do I make Flash use the original Photoshop file, not a .png one?

Hi, this might be kind of a basic question/problem but I can't seem get Google to help me. Since I've recently started out with Flash, I guess I just missed some newbie thing out, still very greatful for help though, since this'll soon be causing a brain hemorrage...
Ok, here goes:
I'd like to draw key frames in Flash, just simple drawings/skelettons using the pen tool, basically to create the movement itself. After that, I want to export the frames that I drew as images to Photoshop in order to apply texture and colour, and then put them back into Flash again, without tampering with the Flash doc I've already created, since the animation is already done. I want the file(s) that I'm working with to remain the same files throughout the process, from Flash to Photoshop and back to Flash again, like the way InDesign works. Is this even possible?
If this isn't possible at all, I guess the alternative is to draw in Photoshop and then import the drawings into Flash, put them in order and then make any eventual changes after you've created the animation in Flash, this is less smooth though still possible. But here emerges (sort of) the same problem:
When I import images from Photoshop, create animation out of them, and then realize I have to make some changes in the original PS pic file I head back to PS to correct it. But it just doesn't work the way I want it to... If I modify the pic file in PS, then use the "update" alternative in Flash Library, Flash just tells me that the file can't be found, and does not update the image. If I choose the "edit in PS"-alternative from right clicking on a symbol that is in the library, the file opens as a .png file in PS, not as my original file! It seems to me that Flash is creating its own library, not using the existing document. Is there anyway to go around this? How do I make Flash use my PS file which allows me to change it as much as I want (as with InDesign)?
This is driving me crazy, what I'm working on is supposed to be full HD, I can't use a freaking .png file... Gah!
Very many Thanks in advance!
(If anyone has any suggestion for alternative software, that's also very welcome!)

If you start the artwork in Flash, you are starting with a vector drawing. If you export this art as a .png so that you can edit it in Photoshop, you will be translating the artwork to a bitmap image at a specific resolution. When you edit this .png in Photoshop, you can save it, as a .png, and then import that .png into Flash.
After you import the .png, place it on the stage in a new layer. Position the new artwork over the old artwork. Then throw away the original artwork. Now, when you want to edit the artwork, go to the original file in the movie's Library and select Edit with Photoshop. When you save the file in Photoshop, the updated file will appear in the Flash movie.
If you have Illustrator, you can export your original artwork as an Illustrator file. Then you can open this file in Illustrator, edit it, and save it. Then, as above, import the .ai file into Flash and toss out the original. Now you can edit the original file through the Library in your Flash movie.
Alternately, you could start by creating the artwork in either Photoshop or Illustrator. Then import that art into Flash. Now you have a link to the editor for either file in your Library. This may simplify things.
Working with Photoshop and/or .png files will give you a larger finished file than working with Illustrator files. In either case the finished resolution of the Flash movie will be the computer's screen resolution, 72 ppi.
