Embedded .tif-pictures in InDesign 5...

Hello
A colleague sent me an InDesign CS5 file with a lot of embedded .tif-pictures. I wanted to open this file
with my InDesign 5.5 but there was always the error message: missing the link with .tif-pictures.
My colleague wrote:
"because this
file is quite old and used older versions of InDesign originally it
seems to have embedded the .tiff files - so I don't have them on my
computer. It seems your version of InDesign is not supporting the
embedded files. I'm not sure how to export them from the file, and to completely
re-create them as .eps would take a long time. I'm not sure what to do
about this.
What could we do?
Is it possible that my colleague export these .tif-pictures somehow? If yes, how?
Thanks for all answers!

Your friend should use the LInks panel. He/she should select each embedded file (it will show the embed icon) and choose Unembed Link. They will be prompted to relink to the original (which they say they don't have) or create a folder to put them in.
If that does not work, the embedded images have become corrupt and are no longer readable by InDesign.

Why do the colors appear different from photoshop when I place a picture in indesign?

I am new to indesign, and photoshop for that matter. But when I place a picture in indesign the color looks completely different from what it was in photoshop. Is this just a display issue or will it print with the wrong color?

You have a profile mismatch. Make sure the document and PS file's assigned profiles match. If you are not assigning color profiles then the Working Spaces in Color Settings have to match.

Please see above for what I have selected from the media panel.
In terms of the 'PDF Interactive export dialog' I am not sure what you mean, could you please talk me through this?
This is the instructions that I have been following http://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/dynamic-pdf-documents.html#create_interactive_docume nts_for_pdf
However, where it says
"Buttons And Media
Select Include All to allow movies, sounds, and buttons to be interactive in the exported PDF file. Select Appearance Only to include the normal state of buttons and the video posters as static elements."
I cannot seem to find this menu, the only one I can find is Buttons & Forms and when I open this all of the options are graded out. Please see the screen grab below...

Scale Previews, tif or jpg in safari 1.31, 2 page tif pictures?

Hallo,
how can I make safari to show tif pictures smaller?
Can safari show tifs with more than one page (faxes)?
Thanks Frank

Resize/re-scale & optimize all images for the web in your graphics editor before you insert them into your web pages. Saves bandwidth and reduces page load.
Cycle2 is a responsive slideshow. If you want all images to remain 400px and not responsive to layout, you'll need to modify the CSS code a little.
Details on using Previous & Next links are in the documentation.

Mirror a picture in InDesign

I have tried to make a mirror picture in InDesign, but have some small problems.
If you see in the attached image, I have taken a copy and pased it and flip.
On the picture it is a original i scanned, and the other is mine, how do I make it simular?
The corner of the box don't start as on the original.
Thanks to all replys...

Yes, its a boiler, you have right. We only fresh up the catalogue of our products and the
pictures look better in that way. I see your point, but all the products in that catalogue is already big and
not so interesting from the begining. I think this will be good in a catalogue.
If you see this attached file I have tried to do some mirror, will take it little more down on the opacity.

Embedding google map in Indesign for DPS

Has something changed with the lastest update ....?
In the past, when I needed to place a embed a map, I just went to google pick up the embed code and Cmd V into Indesign. I'll see a static image but it is "live" when when tested on the iPad.
Since the update, this does not seem to work anymore... the embedded code is not a static image on on iPad during testing.
Am I the only one experience this issue? Or am I doing soehting wrong?
Thanks for any help.

Thanks Bob. I could have sworn that I downloaded the lastest update! I had just downloaded the update again and checked the dates. The last update I had was the version of 23 jan 2013. The one I just downloaded as per your advice was 30 Jan 2013. Seems to be working again!

Video embedded in picture frame on wal

Need advise on which After Effect plugin to use which will enable video to be embedded into a picture frame on a wall where the frame and the video would get larger or smaller depending if you walk towards or away from the object.
I am trying to create a video montage using after effects and adobe premier pro. I am trying to create the effect of walking down a hallway and having video clips of a person life a picture frames on the walls on each side of the hallway. As you walk towards each picture frame, the frame would get larger and the video clip inside would get larger as well. In order to accomplish this, I thought that I needed to take video walking down a long hallway panning the camera from side to side. I would then use after effects to create a picture frame and insert it into the video. I want that frame to increase or decrease in size depending upon if I am walking to or from it. I also want the video insert to also increase or decrease in size the same time as the picture frame. My question is, can I do all this using Adobe After Effects? If so how? If not, is there a 3rd party plugin for After Effects that will allow me to create this effect.

You have the tool you need: After Effects. But there is no way to give you a step-by-step description of what you need to do in a simple forum post.
There are no plugins that will do this task for you. You have to learn the application -- you can't just jump in and start creating. You'll fail. People have tried to do that, and they've eventually done what almost every AE user has to do.
They start from Square One:

Unable to add picture to Indesign file: error the file is already open.

I am hoping that someone may have an answer for my question as I can't seem to find a solution anywhere else.
The Setup:
We have a primarly windows network with windows servers and network shares. (Yes all the shares are NTFS formated)
We have six Desktop MACs OS X 10.5.4 added to this network and the MACs have loaded on them the complete Adobe CS4 suite.
The problem:
The issue happens when one of our users is attempting to drop a PSD file into an opened Indesign file.
They user opens the Indesign file first from the network share in folder1, the user the goes to folder2 and attempts to drag and drop a PSD into the Indesign file they get the error the file is already open.
So my first question what would be the most likly cause of this error?
Second question is we also have a program called AdmitMac loaded on the MACs for authenication with the servers.
Could this be interfering in anyway? AdmitMac uses Kerberos authenication, do the Adobe program recognise this Authenication type?

grmg,
There is nothing wrong with the ID file or the PSD file. If the user moves both files to their desktop the drag-n-drop function works just fine.
Even if just one of the files is on the desktop and the other on the network the drag-n-drop works fine.
The issue is when both files are on the network server, that is when we get the error.
Also it doesn't seem to matter what the file type is, the same thing occurs, if both files are on the Windows Server we get the "File already open" error
The Artist just need to make links in ID to the picture files until the final revision.
(We would perfer to keep the files on the server for backup purposes. In the past we have had one to many contractors come in to do work and they do everything on the desktop and when they leave they sometimes delete their desktop. As such the files never gets backed up.)
I need to know what tweak, change or update I can apply so that both files can be on the server and the Drag-n-Drop function still works.
thanks for the reply.

TIF output from InDesign

Pre purchase question regarding InDesign. I am doing simple layout, which have generally done in Photoshop, for output to an inket printer one page at a time. I am considering purchasing InDesign to do this. Is it possible to output individual pages from InDesign as TIF files? If so can you specify the resolution and output color space as well as color space conversion settings? Thanks.

InDesign certainly has much better typography than Photoshop, and better control over placing and cropping/scaling multiple images, in my opinion, because that's what it is designed to do. Are you certain the RIP won't accept PDF data? I didn't see anything on the website that discussed file formats
I really appreciate your thoughts on this thought -- I want to do it the best way possible -- though it seems like there is no best way given the issues.
There is one line of type, so this is not about the typography -- though in the past I have done similar projects with more type which has been fine with the files created in PS and print with this RIP and printer. It's much more about the photography. I appreciate InDesign may be better for placing multiple images that is why I have been thinking about buying it to do this. I used to do this work with another page layout program and to get the output ripped those files with PS to create a TIF I could print. Ugh! I saw the type was degraded too, though ok for that, and that is partly why I switched to doing this in PS.
ImagePrint, per my post above, will not print PDF files unless I add the optional print through application (additional cost) and then border less printing is not supported (want borderless).
Are all of the images in the same color space? If not it might make more sense to composite the pages in the RIP itself, if you can. The problem with using a raster format, even converting a high quality PDF exported from ID, is that you degrade the type.
Peter
Most of the images are in Adobe 1998 but some are in ProPhoto RGB (coming from Lightroom) and in any case will convert them all to Adobe 1998 when placing them in PS files. I don't think the layout tools in the RIP, while quite good, are nearly as good as what I can do with PS.
Thanks! Any more thoughts greatly appreciated.

How to create embedded scrolling pictures

Please look at http://www.cashmerebark.com/cec/cec2.html. Note the left and right arrows and numbers under each of the two large pictures near the top of the page. They don't work right now because this is just one large jpg. How do I make them functional? Frames? I want people to be able to scroll by clicking on the arrows and to be able to go to any one of the 10 pictures by clicking on its number. Also, I want each picture to be a clickable link to a page within the site. Thanks.

you can use the Set Image URL action for each number.
You'll need to give the first image a name in the inspector and then simply indicate which image should substitute it when the number is clicked

Embedding a picture and using command buttons

I developing CVI test software to production test keypads. I would like to take a picture of the actual keypad and superimpose command buttons for keys and a textbox for the keypad display. This will make an interactive display for the operator. Can this be done? When I move the buttons on top of the picture they are visible but do not operate. Any suggestions?

Are you sure the button are on top of the picture? Can you see them? If they were on top they should be operable.
To set the picture below the command buttons you must select it and press F7 key: with this the picture is moved to the background and the buttons should be operable -and visible.
The problem at this moment will be to "hide" the buttons so that they have no visual effect but they remain operable. You can achieve this by painting them with transparent colour (note: this will not be possible if you have set Use Windows Visual Style for Controls attribute in panel advanced attributes: try disabling this option to test the operation).
Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

Embedding Videos (links) in InDesign, Where can I host them online?

Hello all,
I'm at a real loss here. I'm teaching my students to use Adobe Indesign's interactive publishing features. That's all well and good but we are having some issues with video. I understand that when you link a video in, it doesn't imbed - it goes into a resources folder. I've accepted that there is no way to actually embed the videos on the front end. However, there is a way to embed via a link which would solve the problem of having this extra tagalong Resources folder and prevent the file itself from becoming giantic.
The problem is you cannot embed files from youtube, vimeo, flickr etc. because the file paths do not start with http:// and end with .mov/.flv etc. I've tried truncating the links but that's ineffective.
Is there a free service somewhere that the students can upload their videos which will provide the proper file path?
I understand that if they all had their own hosting none of this would be an issue - they could just host the videos themselves and make a filepath through their own domain/hosting. However, not all of the students have this option, and the Swf/PDF is useless unless they can send it without that resources folder attached. We want the final file to work no matter where it is by linking back to a hosted video.

I would consider teaching DPS for my interactive class because I know many students would embrace it, but I'm afraid it's going to be a major hassle. Very few students at this school can afford Ipads (many don't even have personal laptops) and I'm not allowed to add any books to the cirriculum and require that they purchase them (though they can be suggested). Ultimately I think they will be disspointed to make a app and then never get to try it on an tablet device. I don't even own one so I can't really even practice the transition myself.
I'm not sure if they can sign into Apple ID yet, we are transitioning to Creative Cloud which might help next year. Currently I cannot even install basic drivers on the computer, and if the software isn't already on the computer or updated I cannot do anything about it. I learned all this when I tried to teach Fontlab and have them design a functional typeface. I hardly have access to change settings in these labs let alone install Fontlab or one of the similar free versions. I ended up having to do something much less relvent, by having them do it in Illustrator.
Unless there are lots of free learning resources (like good video tutorials, books etc) and it doesn't require any installation, updates, or money I can teach it. Kind of limiting. Corporate talked about beginning a digital publishing major - if they do they will provide Ipads and then they can start teaching some of this stuff. I know all the PDF features availble in Acrobat are still in InDesign (they very neatly divided the digital published section to show what is only swf output and what can be PDF output). I do cover the differences and teach them to make digital forms. I think they just like all the animation and fun stuff that a Swf provides. I still think it's good for them to learn motion paths, timing, and alternate layouts (I suppose thats the begginning step to DPS in a way). I appreciate all the input.
