Different B5 template page sizes in Illustrator and Indesign

Hello, I just created new document in Indesign but also needed to prepare backgroud image in Illustrator. What I've found is that B5 template page sizes are different in both apps. Is it for any reason?

Hmm... that is quite strange. B5 should definitely be 176 × 250mm. I would just manually correct it. But as for the reason why, I have no idea. Could be an glitch. A 7mm dif on the width and 6 on the hight makes no sense to me. I know Illustrator likes to round values off, but that's not the case here.

Template/Page size questions

Hey guys, I will explain what I am trying to do then maybe someone can walk me through it. We have a advertisement flyer type thing that I need to come up with an ad for, each ad is 4x3. I need to come up with an ad front and back, and figured that Pages would be best. Should I set a custom page size for 4x3 and then edit within (and if so, can I still use the supplied templates with this smaller scale?) Or would it be best to just edit and organise in standard letter size and then shrink to scale? Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

You can export to PDF from the File menu or print to PDF from the Print menu. Either should work but I just always use the Print menu route.
For JPEGs, open the Pages file in Preview and do a Save as... to JPEG (or various other formats).
As for templates, my own workstyle is to make my own templates. I do most of my layouts from a simple blank template that is letter size and set for half inch margins. From there I lay out everything from scratch. Other than the title, my newsletters do not follow a set design. I design each one according to how I want to present the content. I use lots of Text Boxes and only occasionally use the default text layer for other type documents.
Judging from many posts, I would suggest the following "Law of Pages" — If you are new to Pages, do not undertake any job that is Big, Critical, or (MOST important) whose deadline is tomorrow. (Of course you could apply that to any program.)
Pages will do one heck of a lot, but you've got to learn it, just like anything else. Play with it. Explore it. Have fun with it. Then undertake serious work.

Tiger,
Have you sliced the images, converted your design into HTML/CSS and tried to click the links?

Suddenly, my CS6 Illustrator and InDesign programs won't let me choose a custom size - it's greyed out. Can anyone help?

Printing problem with Epson R290 Illustrator and inDesign

I am running CS2 on Leopard and have recently purchased an Epson R290. The first time I used it with Illustrator and InDesign it worked fine but now whenever I print anything it prints a tiny version (about a sixth of the real size) of the design in the top left corner of the page. It does this both with new documents and old ones that used to print ok.

Since I posted the message about this problem I have discovered that it can be worked around by choosing a higher quality print. ie if you choose plain paper when printing from Illustrator or InDesign the printer prints a reduced size image but if you choose Ink jet mat or glossy the print comes out fine. I don't have this problem with Photoshop but that may be that I always print high quality from that application. I don't use Appleworks Draw so don't know whether this solves the problem for that application but iWork documents print ok.

Adobe Illustrator and InDesign CS5 crash when trying to place images. Happens around 5+ times a day.

Hi there
This Mac is quite new and was originally a migration (using Migration Assistant) from an older Mac.
Illustrator and InDesign in CS5 were both crashing often and most of the time it's when placing an image (in either application) – it doesn't crash each time I try to place an image, but 90% of the crashes are when placing an image.
We tried lots of things, like cleaning out the fonts, clearing font caches etc. After several months of that, we decided to wipe the Mac clean and start from scratch. It has been reformatted with a clean install of the OS and only minimal additional software added. Although quite a few fonts have been reinstalled, they all validate in Font Book.
One other thing of note is that the Adobe Updater fails to complete an update and so we have had to update each application manually from the Adobe website.
I would be so grateful someone could help shed some light on what is going on. Here's an EtreCheck report. Can also provide crash reports from the Console if useful.
Thanks!

Arial Narrow for Illustrator and inDesign

How do I get Arial Narrow installed for Illustrator and inDesign? It's loaded as a Windows 7 True Type font in my computer.

Sounds like a different version of Arial was used on these previous documents. Can you create a new document with the Arial Narrow you have installed, save it, close Illy or ID, then reopen the document without the warning?
If not, your copy of Arial Narrow could be corrupt despite Adobe products being finnicky about such things.

Smart objects from Illustrator and Indesign dimensions problem

I have been trying to find an answer to this problem for 6 months now and surprised no one else has tried to find any answers.
When we import something from illustrator or indesign as a smart object, for some reason the objects width and height will not keep their dimensions in proportion.
When the asset is first imported as a smart object it says the width and height are exactly 100%. However after that if you try to change the dimensions they will be out of proportion, usually the width will be 100% but the height will be out by about 1% to begin with. When you scale up, the percentages fall further and further apart. See image attached.
This has become a real problem for our workflow as the creative director insists we must correct every layer which has this issue by typing in the sizes manually, but then this doesnt always fix the problem either depending on which version of photoshop you are using.
Why does this happen, and how can we fix it for good?
Thanks, Chris.

I do not have the answer for I don't have illustrator and indesign. I do have Photoshop and have notice that it try to match resolutions and maintain sizes but it may also scale placed object etc. There are some some Photoshop preferences setting that can effect some operations. Photoshop also has support for non square pixels.
Make some test if illustrator and indesign have setting for pixel aspect ratio and DPI resolution. Make sure all documents have the same pixel aspect ratio and same DPI resolution and that the vector object to be imported are not larger then the Photoshop document their being imported to.
Thanks for the suggestions, but none of these would be the answer. Illustrator is Vector so it does not use DPI / Pixel aspect ratios etc.

CS5 (Illustrator and InDesign) randomly centers my workspace

When I'm zoomed in while working in Illustrator and InDesign, CS5 will arbitrarily center itself away from the area I'm working on. Sometimes it's on another page in the document, sometimes it's on the pasteboard. How do I make it stop?
I'm running 10.6.8 and using a bluetooth mouse (if that helps in any way).
Thanks!

You mean while you are allready zoomed in or while you zooming in? Because if you have something selected in InDesign, it will automatically center on that obcet the moment you start zooming.

CS6 Illustrator and InDesign colours are changed when the PDF is saved.

CS6 Illustrator and InDesign colours are changing when the saved PDFs are displayed on some different computers and for digital print output. I have ensured that the colours are all CMYK and tried different adjustments like preserving the numbers and the like but nothing is working. It prints properly on my inkjet and has displayed properly on different computers.

You need to read up on color management, color profiles and all that....

Adobe Illustrator and InDesign Error code 16 - Help!!!!

I installed Adobe Illustrator and InDesign on Windows 8.1. They worked great until I closed the programs and tried to open them up again. I now get the error code 16. I re-installed several times now and each time I close either one of the programs and reopen, I get the same error code 16. I've done a clean uninstall and re-install and I've followed the procedures about ensuring that file permissions were correct. No luck.
Please Help!!!!!!
Nothing works.
