Dirty tiff display in InDesign CS4
Hi there,
I have built a number of simple images (rings with solid colour, solid colour with a gradient effect applied etc.) in Photoshop Extended CS4 and then saved them as tiff images at 300 ppi CMYK/16bit files. I have then placed them in an InDesign CS4 document and they have come up with yellow pixels. I have noticed that when I scroll through the document that the areas I'm scrolling into come up a similar colour until I stop scrolling and my machine catches up. I have ensured that my display in preferences is set to the highest setting and still the image is dirty.
Can anyone help out a novice please?
Cheers,
Philamon
You'll do yourself a favor if you convert those TIFFs from 16-bit to 8-bit before opening them in InDesign. InDesign can only handle 8-bits of those file. I'm not sure how it handles 16-bit TIFFs but for 16-bit PSD files it reads the 8-bit composite saved with the file.
Your files will be considerably smaller, and will preview better.
The value of 16-bit is in making image adjustments BEFORE saving the file for other applications.

InDesign CS4 page numbering not displaying correctly in Pages Panel
Hello,
I searched the forums for a solution to my problem before posting. I am sorry if I'm doubling someone's question but here I go:
I noticed this problem I have about 6 month ago. When I create a simple document with automatic page numbering everything is fine. When I try and create a section (i.e. I want my numbering to start at 1 at page 3) it actually works however in the Pages Panel the pages are displayed with their basic numbers. You will agree this is rather confusing. I've tryed different files, same files on different computers and so on. The problem has to do with my installation of InDesign CS4 and I suppose it's some kind of a display option I accidentally turned on.
Could someone please suggest a solution? Thank you! -
How to convert InDesign CS4 doc to MS Word?
As a graphic designer, I always design brand stationery elements in InDesign CS4. Often a two colour pantone printing job for my customer to match envelopes and cards, etc.
Now I've got a young engineering customer who doesn't want hard copies. He wants a template(?) for his letterhead and contracts to be able to email. He uses MS Word. How best do I take an InDesign design and convert it to Word? (I hate the thought!)
I offered a PDF file he could print, but he can't use that on the road.
My design for him uses 2 Pantone colours; uses two fonts he doesn't have; and a tiff graphic as a tint in the background that bleeds to the edge.
Anyone done this before?
Will it look the same as my graphic?
Thanks for your advice! :-)One of the major problems with Microsoft Office products is their inability to allow import/placement of either EPS (properly - for screen display at all or for printing to non-PostScript devices) or PDF (simply not supported).
When faced with the issue of please prepare us some letterhead or provide us with a letterhead template (they just want the logo and the other material), my approach has been to do the design in InDesign and export PDF. The Word user creates their document on a blank page (leaving room for the stationery's logo, footer, etc.) and when done, saves as a PDF file. In Acrobat, they then use the Background or Watermark feature to add the stationery PDF to whatever pages of the document need that content. Foolproof and maintains the full graphic quality of the stationery as produced in InDesign, including if so desired, spot colors.

Remove back image while exporting to PDF (InDesign CS4)??
Hi All,
I have two images in my InDesign CS4 file and one image is hiding behind my second image. When I am exporting my InDesign file as Pdf and opening in Acrobat, Acrobat showing bottom image first and then showing my top image.
Is there any way to remove my bottom image which is appearing behind in my top image while exporting to Pdf.
I don't want remove manually because it happening with most of my InDesign file.
Please suggest.
Thanks
BaljeetI would move bottom image to separate layer and then eventually I would switch it off.
If you don't want to change anything in InDesign you can eliminate the second image in your already generated PDF.
Open your PDF in Acrobat Pro.
Advanced -> Print Production -> PDF Optimizer.
You can leave only "Clean Up" check box marked (eventually Transparency if Acrobat will not allow you to switch it off). All the rest leave unchecked.
This operation will remove hidden image.
Correction: It will not remove the image. It just made the PDF to be displayed much more faster that is why the second image appearance was not noticeable. Sorry for the inconvenience. -
InDesign CS4 fails to open PageMaker 6.5 files correctly
After upgrading to InDesign CS4 this week, I attempted to open a PageMaker 6.5 file. It opened, but the pages were out of sequence. PageMaker 6.5 pages 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc., opened in InDesign CS4 as pages 1, 3, 2, 5, 4, etc.
I purchased InDesign CS4 last week for the sole purpose of working on two books I created in PageMaker 6.5. For me, at present InDesign CS4 is useless. I hope Adobe provides a fix soon.
Also the upgrade rejected my PageMaker 6.5 serial number, I tried all the fixes at the Adobe website, finally after half an hour on the phone I was given a challenge/response code which then launched InDesign. If I need to reinstall InDesign, I'll have to go through the challenge response process again, i.e. another long wait on the support line.
I'm using OS 10.5.5 on the newest, unibody PowerBook Pro.From the help files:
Flow text semi-automatically
With a loaded text icon, Alt-click (Windows) or Option-click (Mac OS) a page or frame.
The text flows one column at a time, as in manual flow, but the loaded text icon automatically reloads after each column is placed.
Flow text automatically
With the loaded text icon displayed, hold down Shift as you do one of the following:
Click the loaded text icon in a column to create a frame the width of that column. InDesign creates new text frames and new document pages until all text is added to the document.
Click inside a text frame that is based on a master text frame. The text autoflows into the document page frame and generates new pages as needed, using the master frames attributes. (See About masters, stacking order, and layers.)
Flow text automatically without adding pages
With a loaded text icon, hold down Shift+Alt (Windows) or Shift+Option (Mac OS). -
Problem with File Management in InDesign CS4 on Win 7 64-bit Machine
I have Adobe CS4 and just today have encountered a new problem for which I have no solution. When I open InDesign CS4 and choose the Open File menu, and then attempt to change the way the menu diplays items (e.g., Details rather than Small Icons, ec.), the program crashes and I get the "Adobe InDesign CS4 has stopped working" error message. I first encountered this after attempting to open a folder containing InDesign CS file that I need to open and update. In *that* case, the program crashes as soon as I open that folder (from within InDesign). What I have done so far to solve the problem: I tried using Bridge to browse to the problem folder and open the files from there. Bridge does not crash when I open the folder, and I am able to open any file in the folder *from Bridge* into InDesign CS4. However, when I attempt to, for example, export text from the file, while it does not crash when the window (where I get to specify the name of the exported file and change its location [if I wish]) opens, when I attempt to change how the file menu is displayed (cf. my comment above), the program crashes. *However*, if I simply export the file to any folder other than the one the opening of which crashes the program, too, everything is fine. So the problem seems to afflict the one folder, and any attempt, in any folder, to change how the folder's contents are displayed in what amounts to InDesign's use of the Windows file manager function. Any thoughts would be greatly apprecatd.
potterjDear Peter,
This is me (PottsJazz) under my (foolishly misplaced) original username (potterjazz) here on Adobe Fora. For various reasons, I decided to do a ground-up reinstallation of Windows 7 64-bit and Adobe CS4 and, initially, the ability to specify the way folders are displayed from within InDesign's own File Manager worked as it should. However, at some point as I went along installing all the software packages I use (Office 2010, Firefox, WordPerfect, some file converters, DVD/CD burning software, iTunes, etc.) the problem reemerged. I think it is probably a glitch with Windows 7 64-bit and one of my programs, but it is definitely not CS4's fault. I just have to create folders, specify folder display styles, etc., from outside CS4 and then maneuver within its programs to the folders and file locations from inside. It's a small price to pay for not spending days reinstalling software and testing testing testing. I'll let you know if I ever get a solution.

Importing xml with xslt in InDesign CS4
Hello All,
i need someone's help who's an expert at xml and xslt features of InDesign CS4.
i work in publication, besides our magazines we produce yearbooks with lots of repetative information fields in them. we get the data in xml fromat which we flow in to InDesign. the xml files are very simple, here's an example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<Root>

etc.
</Story>
</Root>
the problem is we don't want <Company_Code> and <Job_code> elements displayed in the InDesign file.
so we created an xslt file that shoud get rid of these two unwanted elements (obviously the xml file above was pointed to this xslt file)
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">

<xsl:value-of select="Pesronelmail_text"/>

</xsl:for-each>

</Root>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
but it doesn't work. could someone tell me what's wrong with the xslt file? or what would the correct xslt file look like?
Thanks everyone!Here's the sort of thing I mean in more detail.

Note that I have renamed the XSL file "transform2.xsl". I have got rid of the "Story" tag, and I have nested the tags more appropriately, with a new tag "Country_name". Here's the XSL:

(That file should be saved as "transform2.xsl" to match the link on line 2 of the XML.)

Scroll speed increases in InDesign CS4
I just installed InDesign CS4 on my Toshiba NB505 netbook running Windows 7 Starter. The scroll is driving me nuts. When I use my touchpad scroll, the first few lines scroll smoothly, but then the speed increases to jump several lines with every touch. The document I'm looking at is only one page, but I can't get to even the halfway point before it starts jumping. This appears to be the only program this happens in. Acrobat scrolls fine; my system mouse settings are fine. I'm hoping there's an option in InDesign I'm just missing.
Please help!You'll do yourself a favor if you convert those TIFFs from 16-bit to 8-bit before opening them in InDesign. InDesign can only handle 8-bits of those file. I'm not sure how it handles 16-bit TIFFs but for 16-bit PSD files it reads the 8-bit composite saved with the file.

[Ann] QR Code for InDesign CS4 and up
Ever needed to create a QR code? There are literally hundreds of free QR code generators on the web, but they all have the same drawbacks:
1. They typically deliver a PNG, either 'click here to download', or you have to drag it somewhere yourself.
2. It's typically an RGB image, so the cautious designer will start up Photoshop to convert it to a monochrome image.
3. .. so you get a file to store somewhere ..
4. ... and after seeing four of them you cannot remember which QR code said what ...
5. .... and, you cannot use such site in a batched environment (well, maybe some people can by building a proper URL, call the website, wait for a response, etc. I bet it's difficult for your average scripter.)
So I had a go on converting one of the existing Javascript solutions -- Patrick Wied's, in case you're curious -- into a construction fit for InDesign. All you have to do is download the zip: http://www.jongware.com/binaries/jw_qrcode.zip -- unpack it, and save the file "QRCode.jsxbin" in your local User Script folder. It ought to be compatible with InDesign CS4 and upwards, for both Mac and Windows.
When it appears in your Script Panel, you can double-click to run and
1. with nothing selected, it prompts for text and error recovery settings, and will place a proper monochrome TIFF bitmap of (approximately) a useful dimension in the center of your current page.
2. with an empty rectangle selected, the new QR code will be placed inside it.
3. with some text selected, the text field will be pre-filled with this.
4. With a QR Code selected which you created earlier using this same tool, the text field will contain the original text, and the quality setting will be retrieved. You can cancel the dialog if you only wanted to know what it said, or change the text or quality.
5. You can call this script from another script to perform batch operations. It accepts two required arguments, and one optional, in this order: text, Error Correction level (1-4), and optionally a destination rectangle to place it in:
app.doScript(new File(app.activeScript.path+'/qrcode.jsxbin'), ScriptLanguage.JAVASCRIPT, ["hello", 1, app.selection[0]], UndoModes.ENTIRE_SCRIPT, "Call QR Code");
6. Since it's a monochrome bitmap TIFF with enough resolution (at its default size it's 200 dpi), you can use the swatches palette to change the white or black parts to another color, or even make one transparent.
7. It's just a small file, and so I decided to always have it automatically embed. That way you can never loose it. The image first has to be created in a temporary file (default location: (Temp)/qrcode.tiff, where (Temp) is your local Temporary Files folder). If this fails for some of you (there always seem to be overly prudent IT professionals who seem to despise users storing files willy-nilly), I'll have to think of something else.
Note: this version only supports plain text mode, not numeric, alphanumeric, or Kanji. Text is converted to UTF-8; for the most common purpose -- web pages -- it should work normally.
Enjoy!
Based entirely on Patrick Wied's implementation of a basic QR Code generator. Patrick Wied dutifully notes
I do not guarantee any resulting QR code generations or detections, use this application at your own risk! - this project is just a study project (non commercial).
and so I advise to always check your generated code using a good QR Code reader.To give back to community, here is the script to generate QR codes for business cards created by data merge
It reads text frames starting with MECARD:, empties them and places QRcode rotated 15 degrees counterclockwise. Enjoy!
var _d = app.documents[0];
var _allStories = _d.stories;
for(var nx=_allStories.length-1;nx>=0;nx--){
var _storyAllTextFrames = _allStories[nx].textContainers;
for(var mx=_storyAllTextFrames.length-1;mx>=0;mx--){
_storyAllTextFrames[mx].select(); // change page
if(_storyAllTextFrames[mx].contents.indexOf('MECARD:')==0){
var obj = app.doScript(new File(app.activeScript.path+'/qrcode.jsxbin'), ScriptLanguage.JAVASCRIPT, [_storyAllTextFrames[mx].contents]);
_storyAllTextFrames[mx].contents = "";
var myScaleMatrix = app.transformationMatrices.add({horizontalScaleFactor:.7,
verticalScaleFactor:.7,counterclockwiseRotationAngle:15});
obj.transform(CoordinateSpaces.pasteboardCoordinates,AnchorPoint.centerAnchor, myScaleMatrix);
//obj.move ([_x,_y]);

Hi
We have been using InDesign CS4 for several months now, and suffer repeated crashes. Our systems support contractors have looked at the network, and say its a software issue. Running it on 2 PCs, Windows 7 OS.
Initaially we thought it was network latency issues, and certainly the number of crashes have reduced since we co-located all InDesign and image files on the PC's hard drive rather than on a network storage device. However, the application is still prone to crashing.
Certain actions seem to spark a crash; but not always. Applying character styles, applying master pages to existing document pages, duplicating spreads and moving pages within the document are all risky actions.
The symptom of a crash are sometimes just a freeze, with no associated warning. That requires a CTRL-ALT-DEL to bring up the windows task manager which will show InDesign as not responding. Alternatively, one gets a warning from InDesign that it has encountered an unexpected problem and needs to shut down.
Now we are working exlusively from our hard drives (I've even tried working with the network cable un-plugged to ensure I'm not inadvertantly linked to a resouce on a network sortage system), we get fewer crashes; maybe just 5 or 6 a day. Before it could be 10-20.
Any ideas?Hi,
Would you please provide with some more details.
Is it happening while working with some specific file or all the files.
I would recommend to try a new user account on your machine.
Is it happneing with one specific machine or all other machines ?
Did you tried re-creating Indesign preferences.
Is it happening only with Indesign or any other Adobe or non Adobe application ?
Are you getting any error message?
Is it Freezing or closing down automatically ?
When did this issue started happening ?
If you remmember any kind of specific change after which it started happening or since the time you have installed it is happening ?
Is your Indesign up to date ?
I would recommend you to try below mentioned document. It might be of help to you:
http://go.adobe.com/kb/ts_kb404723_en-us
Do check if all your drivers are up to if not update them.
System Requirements for Windows:
• 1.5GHz or faster processor
• Microsoft® Windows® XP with Service Pack 2 (Service Pack 3 recommended) or Windows Vista® Home Premium, Business, Ultimate, or Enterprise with Service Pack 1 (certified for 32-bit Windows XP and Windows Vista)
• 512MB of RAM (1GB recommended)
• 1.8GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on flash-based storage devices)
• 1,024x768 display (1,280x800 recommended) with 16-bit video card

InDesign CS4 Mac starts but then freezes
Indesign CS4 Mac starts up but freezes from there. Trying to open files or create new ones results in the filename appearing at the bottom of the Window drop-down menu, but the file doesnt appear on-screen.
The same result occurs when opening files using "Open Recent File" as well as double-clicking the file in Finder or using "Open With" in FInder.
It couldnt have picked a worse time to crap out - right in the middle of an urgent contract!! Dang Cleetus!!
Any suggestions - apart from re-installing the program?
Cheers,
JohnTried renaming InDesign Saved data and InDesign Defaults and restarting InDesign - that didnt seem to fix the problem - after re-starting InDesign it seemed the program didnt write new versions of the files on re-start.
Will head back to the office & connect to my 23" display & see if ID works OK with that - that would confirm that it's a screen pointing issue?
Would re-installing ID help?
Cheers,

Indesign CS4 in Mac 10.6.8, sometimes won't show files, sometimes won't show tools
Indesign CS4 in Mac 10.6.8, sometimes won't show files, sometimes won't show tools. Like I click to open a file from the finder, and Indesign makes that temporary file in the finder, but won't display the pages. At other times I can have the pages displayed but I can't open the tools such as the colour swatches or the paragraphy styles. This all happens at random, although I suspect it is more likely to happen if I have been working in some other program such as Typestyler or Aperture, and come back to Indesign. Kind of like Indesign gets snooty at me working in another program.
I've done the thing of dicing the preferences, but so far the only workaround that has worked so far is quitting and restarting the program. I don't remember this happening so much until recently, in other words the problem seems to be getting more frequent.
But I am wondering if this has happened with anyone else and if there are any other suggestions for avoiding it.
Back in the good old days you would reinstall PageMaker and that would settle things for a while. But now I don't know if a program like Indesign CS4 actually gets corrupted and if it does I don't know what to do. Does the program get corrupted? And should you reinstall a fresh copy? If it's a good idea to reinstall the program how do you do that? Is it possible to download a fresh copy? And if I do, what happens when the fresh copy phones home? I've tangled with the Adobe Microsoft corporation before when Indesign phoned home and got a crossed line.Other things to try:
Examine your specific version of Optima by going to Type menu > Find Font, clicking on the Optima font and choosing More Info (I think) and find the specific version number. See if you can uninstall the font and reinstall another Optima font with a different, preferably newer version number. There has (historically) been a bad version of Optima floating around for years. Maybe you have it.
Use a free utility like FontNuke or FontFinagler to get your Mac OS to reset its font plists. Sometimes that makes the OS feel better.
Use the built-in Disk Utility to repair file permissions. You never know.
Export your old document out to IDML and reopen that resulting idml file back into a new freshly written INDD file. This might remove internal database corruptions.
All these are chicken-soup things to try and they might be good for you.

How do you make the smallest pdf from InDesign CS4 but retain some sharpness?
I have a 2 page brochure, front and back with layered photoshop files and when I make the small pdf I need to make a 100kb file like a client has done in the past. The smallest I can make the pdf file is 460kb. It will not go smaller no matter what I do. Of course I can enter final resolution as 72 dpi but the photos become very fuzzy. I have even reduced the file sizes of the photos and replaced them in the document. The file size remains the same. My client said that Illustrator reduced the size for him smaller in the past but I don't think that is the solution. How do you retain some sharpness in a pdf but keep the file size at a very minimum?
But InDesign CS4 outputs the file no matter what at 460 kb for me.
Still don't know why they got 100 kb.
By not using InDesign. Scott is on the right track by mentioning Distiller - which makes PDFs that are smaller than what InDesign can export. Illustrator can be used (improperly*) in the same way. Both methods can strip out stuff that you don't need if you don't care about printing quality, don't care about reliable display across multiple platforms, don't care about precisely how your fonts are embedded, don't care about the lawsuit that the blind people using screenreaders are going to bring against you, and so on. I don't know which of the above is not in your client's 100k file, or which of the things in my above list will be stripped out by using Distiller or Illustrator, but I bet that one of the people who has already posted in your thread does know, and might be talked into telling us.
But, if you're trying to make your client happy and aren't actually personally invested in making the smallest PDFs known to man, and if you're located in the US, then perhaps the phrases "screenreaders... blind... accessibilty... lawsuit" spoken together might induce your client to rethink this arbitrary desire for miniscule file size of PDFs.
Alternately, you could just save postscript out of both PDFs and just look at the .ps files in your favorite raw-text viewer.

I have created a newsletter in indesign cs4 how can I set zooms for each article for the user
I have created a e-newsletter in Indesign. I have successfuly saved it as a SWF then as a PDF from acrobat.
The problem is that when the user zooms in the resolution is not good.
How can I let the user zoom in to read each article. Would I create buttons with zoom settings for each article. If this is the case do I do it in Indesign or Flash and can I still save it as a PDF file and it will keep the interactivity?
I would greatly appreciate any help with this issue. It is driving me mad trying to get the information I need.
