Export table as image in InDesign CS6

I want to export a table as an image to use in an epub. When I open the Export dialog box, the Selection button is grayed out and I can't export just the table. Anyone have any suggestions why the Selection button isn't available?

Solved! You have to use the selection tool to select the text frame. Then you can export the selection.

  • How do I create a Table of Contents in InDesign CS6 for print that easily converts to epub?

    How do I create a Table of Contents in InDesign CS6 for a print book that easily converts to epub? 
    Can anyone point me to a link for a step-by-step (not a video) on setting up all the elements of a print book properly (pages, table of contents and index) so they will convert and reflow perfectly from print to epub in InDesign CS6. This is not about building an ebook from ground up, but taking 50 backlisted print books (converted from old versions of Quark to InDesign) that now need to be converted to epub formats.
    OR could someone point me to the link in the Adobe InDesign CS6 support that explains how to create a Table of Contents for a print book (5.5" x 8.5", 288 pages), one that will convert when the file is converted to ePub (for MAC OSX)?
    Just downloaded the 706 page inDesign CS6 reference manual from Adobe <http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/indesign_reference.pdf>  but there's not even a search feature on the pdf file.
    Up until this week, we have only done print books, creating the TOC the old fashioned way, as a fixed page, comprised of two columns: page numbers and chapters/subject. The files I have created are taken by our printer and printed beautifully.
    However, when I convert the same book to epub in CS6, the character and paragraph styles converted beautifully - but everything else is all over the place! The table of contents is on different pages, the columns split apart. That goes for the page contents as well - everything is all over the place. when it's converted to a pdf -- total perfection. Never any problems converting with perfection to pdf format and reading those on the various readers.
    (Thank you so much in advance for any help).

    <http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/indesign_reference.pdf> Adobe Digital Reader does have a search feature for reading pdfs. Found the TOC instructions on page 176 of 706 pages. 

  • Invert image in InDesign CS6

    How can I invert (make a negative image) a Tiff (or JPG) image within Indesign CS6?
    This can be done in Photoshop, but I don't want to keep swapping applications or have to make and save a new (negative) image in Photoshop and then import into Indesign.
    This was so easy in Quark years ago!
    Thanks!

    Set the fill color of the rectangle holding your image to Black, and the fill color of the image itself (select with the white arrow) to Paper.
    This will only work on grayscale and black-and-white images; then again, those are the only logical candidates to make negative.
    In case "it is not working": there is a difference between a full color image containing only gray pixels and a real grayscale image. The former cannot be changed in ID, the latter can.

  • Images in InDesign CS6 tables

    In InDesign CS6 is there a way to define tables cells to images instead of text (like you can in QXP). My aim is to import images into cell, but I want them to fill the full cell size.

    Sorry - InDesign doesn't offer that function - you'd have to set that up manually.
    Give your cell 0 padding all around.
    Get the measurement for your cell
    Create a graphic frame that size.
    And cut and paste it into the cell.

  • Problem exporting Illustrator gradient images into Indesign.

    I created and overlapped 3 gradient images in Illustrator cs6 and saved @ an eps file.  When imported into Indesign thin white lines appear where the images overlap.  How to fix?

    Thanx Kris -
    I saved file @ a pdf and it exported perfectly.
    Will also try your suggestion.

  • How can I get text to appear over my placed or pasted images in InDesign CS6?

    I am new to InDesign and am having a few issues. I have a basic template for a site that I have built in Illustrator. I have placed the design into an InDesign document (I have tried both copy/paste and the Place feature). When I try to use InDesign to overlay text on top of the image, it shows up fine whenever I export to an image file. However, when I export to HTML, the text gets pushed directly underneath the image in web browser (it's visible, but shows on white space below my desired template). Is there any way to fix this? I have already tried enabling "Ignore Text Wrap" on the text frame and the text itself is set to the front of the document. Thanks!

    InDesign is not a web authoring tool. If you’re expecting text to simply overlay a graphic in export HTML from InDesign you’re going to be highly disappointed.
    I’ll make the assumption you know nothing about web authoring tools and HTML/CSS. I suggest you look into Muse.

  • Trouble with re-sizing images/textboxes InDesign CS6

    Has anyone had any problems re-sizing images or text boxes in InDesign CS6?
    I have been doing it for months by selecting the corners and dragging them in or out but suddenly it's stopped working. The arrow no longer changes to a double arrow when I hover over the corner and all I can see is an hourglass when I hover over any type of frame.
    I can resize images only be changing their percentage in the transform objects -> scale options.
    I tried re-setting my preferences and it didn't help.
    Please advise me if there is something else I can do. 

    Tried that and it didn't help.
    The only thing I can think of is that there is something wrong or slow with my remote desktop connection which is affecting functionality. No one else seems to have had this problem.
    Thanks for your effort though.

  • High quality images in indesign CS6 get pixelated

    I have been using indesign CS6 for a while now. Recently, when I place some images into a document, they are pixelated. They are high quality images with a high resolution. Even when I shrink it down considerably to fit in the document, it still gets pixelated. I have "view High Quality" checked & the image prints pixelated as well. When I preview the image, it looks fine. Any ideas?

    Can you post a screen shot of the image placed on ID to have an idea of what you're looking at? If possible can you share a sample image via dropbox?

  • How do I update only the page numbers of a table of contents in Indesign CS6?

    Hi there!
    Please help! I'm making a medical book with more then 1300 pages and about 40 different table of contents.
    I want to update only the page numbers on all the table of contents. But I only see the option to update the complete table of contents.
    I saw on other forums that this is a familiar and very old problem. Did Adobe already fixed this?

    hahaha thanks no I won't Using cross-references in the future! but sending the request anyway; nothing ventured, nothing gained!
    Thanks again!

  • Is it possible to swap images in Indesign CS6?

    If I had a page with several photos in different frames. Is it possible to select two different frames and swap the images around?
    Also, does anyone know how to make sure all the frames in the page are identical in height and width and stroke?
    Thanks in advance,

    That is very useful  for when I initially layout out a page with a layout in mind. Most of the time though, I drag all the photos onto a spread and then start aligning them, the gaps are rough but then I adjust them all manually until each gap horizontally or vertically are the same. It'd be nice if there was a script so that all the images on the page were a certain gap horizontally and vertically to each other whilst maintaining their alignment. Does that make sense?
    An alternative would be if I could set up a Grid of image frames and merge some of them, preserving the gap measurements.
    Thanks Peter,

  • Acrobat DC breaks InDesign CS6 PDF export?

    With Acrobat DC installed it seems as if I can no longer export a PDF out of InDesign CS6. The export function under the menu is greyed out. It works fine with InDesign CC 2014 but not with CS6. I still have customers that require me to use CS6. Anybody else have this issue?

    They SHOULD not be connected. InDesogn export doesn't use Acrobat, and doesn't need it.  I suspect a different problem. I don't know what but I have seen mentions of it in the InDesign forum.

  • Indesign CS6 default CSS created - How to disable

    I am facing an issue in Indesign CS6 where in when I export the book to epub, Indesign CS6 automatically creates its own CSS.
    With this version of InDesign CS6, it adds our CSS document to InDesign's automatically created CSS, instead of replacing it. So there are two .css documents, both linked to all the XHTML documents. It does this even if the "CSS options" are not clicked. It just creates a much shorter default style sheet with rules for body, div, and all images.
    Request someone to please provide a solution where I can off the automatic created CSS while exporting to ePUB.
    Regards
    Arvind

    The solution is to upgrade to InDesign CC, where you can choose whether or not InDesign CSS is included.
    Since CS6 will never be upgraded, that's really the only way, except to manually edit the CSS. There have been major advances in EPUB export since CS6 in the past two or three years in the Creative Cloud versions.

  • InDesign CS6 ePub Export : Tables with header and footer in HTML

    Hey there,
    does anyone know, whether InDesign CS6 also exports Table Headers and footers correctly into the XHTML-File of the ePub.
    What I mean, is whether the elements <thead> and <tfoot> are created?
    Or is it only possible to steer this via the CSS-Classnames which can be given in the tableformats?
    Generally I think it would be better if the user had the chance to map other exporttags to its elements than just p, em, strong, h1-h6.
    it would be useful to also put in other elements by hand.
    Best regrads.

    By "also", do you mean the behavior is changed with respect to CS5/CS5.5? In those, thead and tfoot are created correctly. (Although, quite disconcerting, in the order "thead / tfoot / tbody". ePub renderers based on Webkit display them correctly nevertheless, but others do not. An extremely annoying free interpretation of the W3C rules.)

  • Incorrect images from .indb file export to ePub in Indesign CS6

    I am having problems exporting images to ePub and get a different result from the same file depending on whether I export directly from the .indd file or from the .indb file.
    When I export to ePub from the individual chapter (.indd) file, everything is fine and the images appear in the correct locations where they have been anchored.
    When I export via the book  (.indb) file, images are being replaced with the incorrect file in the resulting ePub.
    Looking at the HTML, it seems not all images are being exported from the .indb file and when the image is missing, Indesign is substituting the next available image from the alphabetical list in the images folder so I'm getting incorrect images peppered throughout the book.
    Any idea where I've gone wrong and how to fix it? I've produced several ePubs with images and never come across this before.
    More details on how I've set up the files and any other info I think might be relevant below if needed.
    - I'm using Indesign CS6 (8.0.1)
    - I'm producing an 11 chapter book.
    - Each chapter is a separate .indd file for ease of editing.
    - These 11 files have been added to an .indb file for export to ePub.
    - Images are all anchored to their captions within the text.
    - On Export to ePub settings for images I have selected to insert a page break before the image and that settings apply to anchopred objects.
    Nothing else is selected (I don't want to preserve appearance from layout.)
    - I'm using the Articles panel feature for order of content.
    - In the original file supplied, the images were placed as .tiff images. I saved them to jpeg and relinked them using the "relink to folder" and "match same file but this extension" options.
    - No links are flagged as missing.
    Any help much appreciated.

    The solution points to how, it appears, the book panel export is functioning: each file exports a set of tags referenced to itself; file01 adds a "1" to its tags, and so forth. What I was able to do was use a file referencing all of the tags in the style suite in two ways:
    first, I exported to an epub the single file, creating a fairly clean CSS, which I then extracted and renamed;
    then, making certain that file was the "source" file in the book panel, I mapped for export all of the tags, being careful to be certain each tag/class combo was same as in renamed clean CSS;
    I synchronized the whole shebang;
    I exported to epub, adding my clean CSS as an external style sheet, selecting only "include embeddable fonts".
    Bingo!

  • Indesign CS6 export images and text

    Hi there,
    I am looking for a way to batch export from Indesign files (with Incopy shared stories), text as RTF and formated images (cropped to the frames they are in) excluding bleed where full page is used. The RTF should retain "bold" and "italic". For images, I need to change the settings (colour management, size, pixels, resolution, file format, file name convention. Some examples of interfaces of some scripts I really love to use are down bellow:
    I believe a script that will have a combined interface features as the screen-shots attached would be so awsome for so many Indesign users.
    Thanks

    First, I appologize for being so vague in my post.
    @stephen0218. The extended feature I am looking for I would call it Indesign Export Extended, where this would give you way more options than it does now, to export elements, text, images, pages, selections etc.
    @[Jongware] They are 2 scripts (not plug-ins): first image is, as Vamitul mentioned, a screen-shot of Russle Brown's script for Image Processor in Photoshop. Tottaly agree, darn fantastic scripting work there.
    The next two, are screen-shots of batch-process script that Peter Kahrel wrote. The greatest Indesing script I found. Not to mention it's free too. You can still feel free to donate on his website:http://www.kahrel.plus.com/indesign/batch_convert.html.
    For an upcoming project, my need will be to be able to batch export from Indesing, the text as RTF and formated images (cropped as in Indesign) to a certain location.
    For text, I have to mention that the all the stories are shaded with Incopy users. So basically, Peter's script does this except, if text is part of an Incopy assignement, won't be able to check-out that story and grab it.
    For images, I need to export all the cropped images, with their original colour space, file name and size in pixels.
    This is the basic for what I need. Than I though that combining these 2 requirements, with the features and interface of the screen-shots above will be a huge asset for any Indesign user:
    - setting up the source location
    - destination folder
    - target format/file type
    - separate export options for each file format (for instance for images export: file format, compression, colour management, resize to fit, don't enlarge, file naming option etc).
    I hope this makes sense.
