Desperate for help! indd crashing when copying/pasting from illustrator

i have cs2; updated programs for indesign and illustrator; on my new imac
i have a bunch of small graphics -- logos, and line drawings -- that i need to place into indd.
they have been scanned and traced in illustrator.
i have copied and then pasted them into indd. HOWEVER INDD crashes immediately over and over. i've tried copying and pasting them from ai into indd into blank documents -- once again crash.
I NEED TO GET THIS PROJECT DONE! yikes.
what can i do to prevent crashes???
AND -- big question -- if i save them in ai. and place them into indd -- i have white boxes around each graphic which I DO NOT WANT. that's why i was copying and pasting to begin with. Are there ways to save graphics and place them into indd without these white boxes around them. I'm open to other formats -- and not embedding -- but need to get rid of the box.
at one point i got a message saying memory was full. now it all just crashes.
please help anyone and everyone. i'll be indebted to you!

ok; i am able to get the objects to show up without the white box when doing this!!!!!
THANK you for that suggestion!!!!!!
but what about copying and pasting?? isn't that supposed to work between indesign/illustrator????

Copy & Paste from Illustrator to InDesign CS4

Hi,
I am aware that there are issues when copying/pasting from Illustrator to InDesign, in particular:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/6.0/WSa285fff53dea4f8617383751001ea8cb3f-6bdda.html
I have the following problems:
1- I copy and paste text from Illustrator to InDesign on the same platform and some (not all) of the text is converted to outline in InDesign. The same font is available to both applications. Why this behaviour?
2- I copy and paste objects containing text from Illustrator to InDesign and some of the objects appear to have moved respective positions when pasted into InDesign. Is this to be expected?
Are there solutions to these problems? Note that if I expand everything in Illustrator prior to copying and pasting into InDesign, none of these issues occur, but everything is obviously in outline form, with the limitations it entails.
My clipboard settings are as indicated in the link above, but I have tried other settings with no more luck.
(Important: Before pasting a graphic, make sure that Illustrator is configured to copy as AICB (see Illustrator Help). In InDesign, make sure that Prefer PDF When Pasting isn’t selected in the Clipboard Handling preferences. If these options aren’t set properly, the Illustrator graphic cannot be edited in InDesign.)
It is not practical for me to create an Illustrator file for each of the Illustrator graphics and import those files via Place into InDesign. I must use Copy/Paste.
I use CS4.
Thanks.

You can copy/paste from Illy to ID by selecting the text with the type tool in Illy and then pasting it into ID. You will not be able to maintain the formatting. If you want to maintain the appearance the text will be converted to outlines.
If you need to get anything other than very simple objects from Illy to ID then you should save as AI and use the file > place command to place those objects as linked graphics into ID.
Your closing statement is irrelevant. Whether you like it or not, this is the way it is.

IDSCS5.5 How to determine if a pageitem was copy/pasted from Illustrator

Hi,
My flow is as follows:
- Open document in IndesignServer
- (XML)Tag every pageitem with our custom IndesignServer plugin (c++ SDK)
- If pageItem is a group, tag every member separately
- save/close the document
My problem is:
- If pageitem was copy/pasted from Illustrator and pageitem has a gradient fill => IndesignServer crashes while tagging.
- Copy/pasted illustrator items with plain colorfills work fine.
Note that:
- Copy pasted pageitems from illustrator with a gradient fill are considerated as group in Indesign.
- The gradient fill of Illustrator is not recognized as such in Indesign ( I could only test with Illustrator CS4).
- The lack of color information in that situation is not enough to consider the object as "from Illustrator".
My question:
- How can i determine if the origin of the pageitem is Illustrator? (I have no control on the creation of the document).
I know this is a hard one...
Thanks in advance for any usefull input!

Unable to copy+paste from Illustrator CC 2014 to Fireworks CS6

It seems to me like Illustrator CC 2014 is riddled with bugs and compatibility issues. The latest one I have found is that I am unable to copy+paste directly from Illustrator CC 2014 to Fireworks CS6. However it does work when I copy+paste from Illustrator CC 2014 > Illustrator CC (previous version) > Fireworks CS6. Anyone else have this problem?

View in Illustrator

I paste always as Smart Object
And special for you, create big file in Ps CC

Looking good but
white 1-Pixel edges are still there, in Cs5 there are no white edges

Copy & Paste From Illustrator to Photoshop not matching document size

I just recently reformated my computer and I've been having an issue with copy and paste from Illustrator to Photoshop. Before I could copy a 2"x2" vector box from Illustrator into photoshop making a new document and the size and resolution would match. That is the new document would say 2"x2" at 300 ppi in photoshop and the preset would read "clipboard". I would then hit ok and paste and it would match perfectly. Now since I've reformated, photoshop always creates a new document with the wrong size regardless of the settings I enter in Illustrator or photoshop. I have document raster and effects set at 300 ppi in Illustrator and I have the new document set at 300 in photoshop, but it always transfers the 2"x2" box as some other size no matter what resolution I change it too. Again this used to work before so I'm assuming there is some setting I forgot about. Does anyone know? The main issue is the clipboard preset is not matching the document size, its almost as if Illustartor is telling photoshop it's a different resolution when it's not. Copying to 72 ppi seems to have no issue, which makes me think Illustrator just isn't sending it out at 300 ppi, but I don't know why as I have the document set at 300 ppi.

Have you found an answer that wasn't posted here yet? I have the same issue.

Automatic downsizing of an image when copy-paste from .doc to .docx in word 2010?

Hello,
I was changing the headers of a series of word documents (some .doc, some .docx) and, in spite of inserting the image from a file in each one, i just copied and pasted the image from one to another after a first insertion.
My source image was a 300dpi rgb jpeg: i noticed that, when coping it from a .doc document to a .docx document the image automatically downsizes to 150dpi and becomes a png; Is there a reason for it? Is there something I am doing wrong? Where can I eventually
control that setting?
Many thanks!
Sara

Strange characters when copy/paste from Word

Hi,
I have in Word u2018hellou2019 and when I paste it in the Notes of IR and save it, it turns into 018hello 019 so the apostrophes transform into these strange characters.
I checked with Notepad, Excel and Wordpad and this issue does not occur, only for Word.
Do you know why this happens ?
It should be a Word/IE setting as this issue does not occur on a Terminal Server. Only on usersu2019
workstations.
Thank you

Hi Shiva,
Some styles for font of rich text aren't be kept when I copy the content from Word 2013 and paste into a wiki page from SharePoint 2010/2013(even SharePoint 2007 like this
post) site as same as yours, it looks like a limitation.
As a workaround, we can publish the Word content as a Blog article in SharePoint site, then copy the content from the blog page to the needed SharePoint page, it will keep the rich text content format, you can have a try.

When we copy/paste content(rich text, tables, styles) from a word document to SharePoint site whole formatting is messed up.

Time capsule crash when copying files from it

Hi, I'm trying to copy files from a time capsule to a windows 7 pc. When I do that the time capsule crashes. I can copy files from the windows 7 pc to the time capsule without problems. Has anybody got a clue? I just bought the time capsule, so it has the latest versions.

What do you see that you interpret as a Time Capsule crash? You can use AirPort Utility to look at the log file of the Time Capsule. Go into "Manual Setup", then invoke Base Station > Logs and Statistics. There might be a message in the log that helps explain the problem.

How Can I Maintain Layout when Copying/Pasting from Web to Pages?

Whenever I try to copy and paste from a webpage that lays out text appearing to be in two columns (such as at http://nfs.sparknotes.com/hamlet/page_2.epl) using Firefox or Safari into either Pages or Word 2004, I lose the page layout. Instead of placing the text left and right, it alternately places one line from the left above another from the right.
I try to Paste and Match Style but that doesn't help. Does anyone have a suggestion? Is it my browser settings? Word processor preferences? One of my students is able to do it properly using, ugh, a PC, so I know it's possible with one of those things.
Thanks.

Other than taking a picture of it (a "screenshot") and pasting it into Pages as an image, you cannot. What you see in a browser has very little to do with what the source actually looks like -- the source is just text with the intended display instructions imbedded. That's why the text lines viewed in a narrow browser window will break differently than when viewed in a wide browser window. When you copy from the browser window, you'll likely get the text string without any of the formatting html tags.

Slightly distorted aspect-ratio (and missing alpha channel) when copy/paste from Photoshop

Maybe this is an old topic (but I didn't find anything on google or this forum):
When I copy images from Photoshop to Flash, the aspect ratio of the bitmap gets distorted. A 728x90 Bitmap becomes 727.6x90 (and so on...). The dpi is set on exactly 72 on both programs. Is there any way to JUST get a 1:1 pixel copy? (except using another program like Irfanview as a "man-in-the-middle")
Although I selected "32 bit color w/alpha" in the clipboard settings of Flash, the alpha channel seems to get discarded when copying from Photoshop. Shouldn't it at least work with Photoshop? I mean, it's an Adobe product after all and maybe the most commonly used together with Flash.
Would just be nice if a copy-paste between PS and FL was an easier thing.
I know there can also be a pixel-aspect somewhere (like used for video productions and wide-screen), but I didn't find settings for that anywhere.
I still use Flash Professional CS5.0

I'm on windows7 with CS5.5 and transparency and size are copied over just fine. You answered what would be my first question, 72dpi. How about the image mode. Are you using RGB 8bit?
I've had lots of issues with the OS not handling transparency very well also, such right-click on an image on a website that you know is a PNG and has transparency, then paste it into photoshop, the transparency isn't saved.
The route that always works (but is a PITA) is of course to save it as a PNG with transparency and just import it.

Muse 2014.2 crashing when I paste from Word

Then it keeps asking me "Why are we using paste?"
Which is strange. Muse isn't copying over those awful Word styles, is it? Doesn't seem to be.
I've been having some MS Office crashing issues. Now I'm getting them with Adobe Muse as well. Any ideas?

In fact, it's doing it again and I caught the whole error for you. I decided to move the Word document text to Notepad because I was tired of Word crashing. I've been copy/pasting and turning text into italic and bold where needed, as well as adding links. And I'm crashing regularly now. Adobe doesn't exit, but the only thing I can copy/paste is the error message below, unless I close out and come back in again.
Error
Adobe Muse CC has encountered an error and will now exit. Please report the last few actions you took leading up to this error to the Adobe Muse CC team.
Expected to be able to paste page items. Why are we calling paste?
OK
