Getting my indesign files to look what I'm out putting from Photoshop

Has anyone printed Blurb books using Indesign. There is supposedly this PDF work flow for Blurb books when using Indesign for Blurb books. Yet the printers that Blurb uses are best suited for SRGB like most labs..
Blurb strongly recommend one convert their files to CMYK when using Indesign.
I'm trying to figure out why in photoshop my files which will have great color and contrast and I'm using the custom proof setting in Photoshop for the Blurb ICC profile which is CMYK. Yet same color
file inside of Indesign will look different. Help
I'm getting to the point of looking at the rgb color values of my files in the information menu in Photoshop. So once i get my files back where I might have remove a certain amount of red from the file.
The blurb book may come back with the image being too red for my liking which is why I will remove some red from my fils. If I remove a certain amount of red out of the file only to receive a Blurb book where the file
comes back looking a bit too yellow. I need a more consistent way of judging my colors for this Blurb PDF workflow for using Indesign CS5.5 Plus you can get a proofs from Blurb and there isn't any comparison ink jet paperto use
on a ink jet printer to smilar the output for the blurb books
Blurb uses HP pritnters to print their digital book. Help.

Looking at Blurb's printing specs they recommend sending sRGB not CMYK:
http://www.blurb.com/educators/pdf/Blurb-Photographer-FAQ-02-18-09.pdf
They do offer a CMYK profile for soft proofing probably so users see RGB color in some CMYK gamut. I think most online printers do not allow CMYK to be output unchanged particularly if they offer uncoated printing—where unchecked total ink would be an obvious problem in an automated offset process.
Blurb offers one CMYK profile (looks like they've simply renamed Coated GRACoL) even though they print on a variety of coated and uncoated sheets, so even if you converted everything to CMYK using the provided profile, it is unlikely that those CMYK values would get printed—Coated GRACol would not work for Mohawk Superfine.
Since it's likely that all color will get converted on their end, providing the recommended sRGB and avoiding extra conversions is the best bet.

Since the new downlaod, I can't import photos from my Kodak C813. I get an "unreadable file" message. What to do?

Since the new Photo download, I can't import photos from my Kodak C813. I get an "unreadable file" message. What to do?

See if Image Capture will let you upload the photos from the camera to a folder on the Desktop. If it will then check the photos by opening them up with Preview to make sure all of them are good. Then import the folder into Photos.
If that goes OK reformat the memory card in the camera, take some test shots and see if Photo will import.

How to get the Output File Name as One of the Field Value From Payload

Hi All,
I want to get the Output file name as one of the Field value from payload.
Example:
Source XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns0:MT_TEST xmlns:ns0="http://sample.com">
- <Header>
<NAME>Bopanna</NAME>
</Header>
</ns0:MT_TEST>
I want to get the Output file name as " Bopanna.xml"
Please suggest me on this.
Regards
Bopanna

Hi,
There are couple of links already available for this. Just for info see the below details,
The Output file name could be used from the field value of payload. For this you need to use the UDF DynamicFile name with below code,
// Description: Function to create dynamic Filename
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File" , "FileName");
conf.put(key,a);
return "";
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File" , "FileName");
conf.put(key,a);
return "";
With this udf map it with the MessageType as
(File Name field from Payload) > DynamicFileConfiguration>MTReceiver

What type of out put parameter should i have to pass here?

Hi all,
           I'm working on a custom function module. In that i have to call a standard function module "SAPWL_READ_STATISTIC_FILES".
This standard FM is returning the values in changing parameter "ALL_STATS" of type "SAPWL_ALLSTATS". SAPWL_ALLSTATS is a structure in a pool structure "sapwl".
My problem is when i'm testing the standard FM with some input parameters its throughing some values into changing parameter "ALL_STATS", but in my custom FM for the same standard FM i'm passing the same values its not throughing any values into that changing parameter "ALL_STATS".
So can anybody check this standard FM and suggest me how to declare the output parameter type and pass? Its a pool structure there i'm getting problem to define it. Help me out please.
Thanks & Regards

Hello Naidu
Using the sample report ZUS_SDN_READ_STATISTICAL_FILES I can fetch a couple of records from the system (ERP 6.0).
If your selection does not work within your custom function module then perhaps there is some conversion problem with the input data (keep in mind that the SAP-GUI takes care of all conversions, e.g. a date '10.11.2008' is automatically converted into '20081110').

When I run a BAPI , then What is the out put?

When I run a BAPI , then What is the out put format ?
Is there anyone in Chennai regarding this ?

the BAPI i am creating will fetch the sales order header data (along with partner details) and item data and put it in the JMS que (JAVA MESSAGE SERVICE) ....
Can we use more than one internal table where i will put the data
i.e
1. for header data
2. for partner (because the partners will be repeated
3. for item data
and the BAPI will fetch the data from SAP tables and put it in these tables....and we can fetch the data by an integrator software and finally put it in the JMS queue.....

I get an 'error occured' when saving a project after pasting text from Photoshop CC

I get an 'error occured, restart Edge Animate' when saving a project after pasting text from Photoshop CC. If I manually type the text its fine.

when I launch Photoshop CC, I get an error message
and what exactly is the text of that error message?

How do I get back some files (such as what I believe are called style sheets after I cleanup my system by deleting what another program believes are temp files?

I use Windows 7 and Firefox 23.
I use either iSafe or WiseCare 365 to cleanup my system once in a while.
In that process many "temporary" files are deleted, which is fine for really temporary files.
What bothers me is that the next time I open Firefox, my previously open Web sites appear differently.
I believe this is due to a loss of the style sheet files that they use.
In the past I have fixed this problem by resetting Firefox to its basic state.
But then I lose all the tabs that were previously open.
How can keep those files that give the Web sites their appearance?

Use build-in means to clear personal data in the Firefox profile folder and exclude the Firefox profile folder from those cleanup program because they usually do more harm than being useful.

How could I get the pdf-file output to contain more than one page from certain homepages

2011-08-22
I have been using Firefox for many years now. I like this browser better than Safari. However. I have a problem when I have connected to a homepage over the web and want to write the content out to a pfd-file. The pdf-file does sometimes contain only one page. The material is good enough for two or more pages of output. I have checked that using Safari browser. I´d like to continue using Firefox so please tell med what to do!

Which Pro Res File setting should I use when out putting HD to SD DVD?

Which is the best Apple Pro Res setting to use for HD to SD DVD?

Not sure what your source material is or which version of Final Cut you are using, but I will usually use the lower ProRes (not the lowest in the newest version) to export, for DV and HDV it isn't going to increase the quality but works fine to hold the quality of Color Corrections and other things. Of course some of it may vary.
Anyway I will export as a self contained movie so I do not have to worry about moving render files and to have something I can encode to other formats later on (such as the web) if needed. Take that into Compressor and encode m2v and AC3/Dolby Audio....

CSV , text file out put from flash exe

Hi,
I want to save data from flash exe to CSV file and text file
. OS is XP and there will be no server connections. Is this
possible. Please help.
Thanks,
Manu

If th ecomputer you're working with has some server software
running (Apache or IIS) you could save your data with php or asp.
If you don't then you could use the Shared Objects (which works as
a cookie, so you'll be e bit limited here). There was a function
called MMSAVE back in FlashMX, don't know it that still works, that
writes to a text file (but only in the development enviroment).
Let me know a few more details and we'll find a way.

I am trying to burn some cds from my playlist on itunes, but my playlist shows many of my songs in light print and says that it will not burn because it is not a file, these are all songs I have purchased quite a while ago, how do i get them to files?

If they were songs you purchased from itunes, try redownloading them from your purchases...
if that doednt work, make sure the optuon to copy files to itunes media folder is checked in settings, then find and download from the net. and re-add them to your library

Convert Indesign file to editable Powerpoint presentation?

I know I can save an indesign file to a pdf and convert to powerpoint from there, but not everything translates. Drop shadows, some dingbats, and some text formatting do not translate, so I have to edit within powerpoint.
I read about a plugin called ID2Office v2.0. Has anyone heard of it or used it?
Thanks!

Hello
I represent Recosoft. We make ID2Office (http://www.recosoft.com/products/id2office). This exports/converts InDesign CS5-CC 2014 files to PowerPoint, Word and Keynote formats. You can view the Youtube video I've posted below how it converts the file:

Different Colors when printing from Photoshop and InDesign CS3

Different Colors when printing from Photoshop and InDesign CS3
I have the following problem:
When printing from Photoshop or InDesign to a PostScript printer, Adobe recommends to let Photoshop handle the colors (I use the German version, so I don't know the exact term used, it changes slightly in all CS3 apps anyway).
The manufacturer however told me to let the PostScript printer handle the colors.
When I chose this option in Ps's print dialog and then choose ISO Coated as the printer pfofile, the results are fine.
But when I place the exact same image in an InDesign file and print from InDesign or export to PDF and print via Acrobat, again using "Printer handles colors", the results are the exact same as if I had used Ps and chosen to let Ps handle the colors (way too saturated and a bit too red).
·Photoshop CS3
·InDesign CS3
·Test image is a TIFF in CMYK Fogra 27 Coated (which is also the working color space in Ps and ID.
·Printer: Xerox Docucolor 3535
·Printer profile: ISO Coated
How can I make sure the printer handles the colors in other CS3 apps than Ps? I tried it with ID's print dialog (translated from the German version: Color Management > Options > Color Handling: PostScript-printer decides colors).
Thanks a lot!

RE: "You don't indicate what Xerox printers you have"
In my first post I named it, is that the information you need?
Docucolor 3535 using Splash 3535
That's interesting, so I have to find a way to turn off the printer's Color Management function? I mailed them, hope they can tell me how to do it easily. They usually just tell me to not use any profiles and so on, but that's the general rule in this area, I'm really tired of hearing it. Everybody seems to think profiles and LAB mode are nuclear science and I should stay away from it.
Anyway, the test image I'm using is a simple photograph (size A3, 300dpi), so no transparencies at all. I'm placing this image into an equally large ID file and print it from ID, then export it to PDF-X/3 and print it from Acrobat. Hope that helps.

Placed .png files in look blurry in InDesign CS6 & output PDF

I'm brand new to InDesign...just learned it yesterday. I'm using CS6. However, I think I'm following best practices as I've watched many instructional videos and have a folder of images I'm using in the document which I place in the document using "File" -> "Place." I've both put them into frames that already exist (and used "Object" -> "Fitting" and often "Fit frame proportionally" but also other commands) as well as without a frame where I drag a window the size I'd like the file to be after I've loaded up my cursor using "File" -> "Place."
I'm at a loss as my files are 72 DPI and 144 DPI (I'm on a Mac and have checked them out both in Photoshop and using "Tools" -> "Inspector" in Preview) and I have NO idea why they look so terrible in both InDesign and my output pdf! I'm attaching both the files I'm placing and screenshots of what they look like in the output .PDF.
Thanks SO MUCH for any help anyone can give me--I'm working on an urgent project and must figure this out!

This info was quite helpful--thanks everyone!
First of all, I'm not entirely sure I chose the right tool for this job, and advice on this would be welcome. I wanted a document of portfolio pages formatted sort of like a book, so I thought it would be better to use InDesign rather than something like Photoshop or Illustrator (I've learned these tools in the last year but haven't really used them to create documents). My primary goal, however, was to present this information both from my computer and on my website, and a secondary goal was for it to be able to print nicely. So I thought InDesign was the right choice. (I read this article from 2010: Adobe Photoshop vs. Illustrator vs. Indesign | Dream Infinity Studios / Chris Takakura | Art Direction + Design to get some guidance...hopefully most of it is still relevant.) Because of that I wasn't sure whether to use "Intent" -> "Print" or "Intent" -> "Web", so I went with web with a 1024 x 768 page size, hoping that will look OK for desktop (not professional) printing. What do people do when they want something to function in both domains? Not sure if that could have affected anything about the way these images were placed...
In terms of finding a solution:
1. I was using High Quality Display--it was more an issue with my output document. (Though strangely sometimes when I toggle between high-quality & typical displays, sometimes things that looked good when I was working on them in high quality, after toggling to typical and back, look horrid.)
2. It seemed at first that it might be an issue of the way I placed the files, e.g. I was positioning my cursor OUTSIDE any sort of field and dragging a square to the size I wanted my image to be. I'm wondering if it somehow reduced the image size because if I create the square using the "Rectangle Frame Tool" it seemed to work much better. I've also tried just dropping the file without the frame tool and resizing it that way, but my images are actually VERY long & wide, so that's difficult. I was also wondering the "fitting" option I chose may have been affecting the display...I've been trying "Fitting" -> "Fit Content Proportionally" lately.
3. I created some .pdfs of some of the pings from Omnigraffle, and that seemed to help, but that actually makes them look worse because there are screenshots within the OmniGraffle mock-up files which are washed out and pixelated and the text that was added on top stands out too much (see attached screenshot...the one on top is a PDF and the header and footer looks funny and the bottom is a PNG where at least everything looks consistent).
So though some files look better now (especially, ironically enough, the 72 DPI screenshot of Use Cases!), I can't figure out what process I should follow to get consistently good results. Because a) the mockup files look good when I first paste them, and b) they are longer and wider than the content area I'm using and I'm shrinking them significantly, I cannot figure out why I can't keep that level of detail after they've been shrunk to fit. I keep wondering if I'm placing image properly, shrinking them properly, or those Fitting settings properly...

Get a PDF when opening original InDesign File (CS4) to update it.

I need to update an organizational chart MONDAY MORNING if I want to look really smart at my brand new job I started last week. The problem--I have located the orginal file that was created in InDesign CS4 by my predecessor. When I double click on the name to open the file I get a PDF. I cannot edit it very well and in in the time frame I will have to do it. Besides, I need to edit the original documnet. How do I do that? I did not create the origianl so do not know if there are locks etc. I need to figure this out before tommorrow at 6am or it will not look good for me...So far I have been blowing them away. Can't start looking stupid this week when I looked so smart last week! If I can't figure thei sout..I amy have to figure out hwo to correct teh PDF...which as a rememeber form a past experice is nasty and takes much longer. Thank you.

If you double click it in Finder or Windows Explorer and it quacks like a PDF, then that's what it is. The operating system is ignoring the extension and opening it with the correct application; Acrobat here.
This may be an intentional sabotage, or an inadvertent mistake, perhaps caused by the previous worker who had deleted the original ID file and thought that perhaps renaming it as PDF would cover the problem.
In Acrobat or Reader, File > Properties > Description will tell you the application that made the PDF. The Additional Metadata button may tell you who made it - or at the login name of that user. These won't fix anything, but may help you find someone with more info, like the named person.
With your experience, it might be most efficient to place the document into a blank InDesign file on a master page if it's only a single-page document, or on the document page, then create a new layer on top of that, lock the PDF layer, and use it as a template over which you re-draw and re-type what you need to reproduce it. It's possible that a table was used to create the original - if so, create a table in a text frame atop the PDF, and resize columns or rows, and merge or split cells, etc, as needed.
To view your progress, hide the PDF layer by poking the eye of its layer in the Layers panel.
As mentioned, PDF2ID is a commercial product that can do the conversion. I believe there's either a free trial download or they'll convert your file for free to show off its strength.
[EDIT]
It's possible that the PDF was made by converting a chart from a dedicated charting application, even something like PowerPoint or the equivalent in the free OpenOffice (aka NeoOffice on Mac.)
Naming it .indd might also have come from inadvertently including it in a batch file rename operation.
