How do i ope an illustrator file on indesign and then continue editing?

Designed a business card in illustrator. Now want to open it in indesign and then continue editing, placing etc.

You don't do it exactly that way. Once you Place the file in ID (AI file with PDF Compatibility enabled), you right-click on the the file in ID and choose Edit Original which will open the file back in AI. There you can continue editing.

Illustrator files into InDesign and Editing

Hello,
I designed some pages in Illustrator that were intended to be coded as a web site, and now the client wants to print them for a trade show.
He's adding content, and now it looks as though there will be 16 pages.
The thought of re-creating, editing and then flattening and saving as PDF 16 pages separately (though using a template), makes my head spin a little, so I'm thinking I should use InDesign so I can have one multi-page document instead.
I've searched and found differing opinions on the most efficient way to achieve this.
One suggestion was to drag and drop from Illustrator to InDesign, but then I lose the text editing capabilities, which I will need because my client keeps making text changes.
I'm a little overwhelmed, and some advice on how best to approach this would be VERY much appreciated! The files are basically just a couple of layered background colors, a photo with a title at 85% opacity and text.
Thanks for any help!
Jen

The thought of re-creating,
Why re-creating?
Me, I would keep Illustrator files in Illustrator. If you want to put them together to make one big PDF, maybe it would make sense to Place each one on a page in Indesign, but make the edits in Illustrator and update the links in Indesign.
I don't have Illustrator CS4 yet, but I read somewhere that it finally does multipage AI files. So if you have AI CS4 you could combine your files into one file (I think).

How does one convert a photoshop file into inDesign and maintain edibility??

I have an entire print file done by another person in Photoshop but would like to convert it into inDesign for fluidity. 1st of all, is that the best scenario? 2nd, is that a possibility? I've begun working with the files in inDesign by creating Photoshop PDF files for it to be linked to; however, that keeps all of the editing within Photoshop. And I would like to have the entire document in inDesign only. This is my dilemma, can anyone offer advice?
Thank you!
K.D.

You can't convert Photoshop to editiable InDesign (though there is a plugin from RecoSoft that claims to make editable ID files from PDF: http://www.recosoft.com/products/pdf2id/).
About the best you can hope for is to leave pixel information in the Photoshop file (where it really belongs) and place that into an ID document, then set any type in ID.

Doug's got it right. It sounds like you are trying to open a later version file in an earlier version. This will always be handled as opening the PDF portion of the file. Try Googling AI_openMultiPagePDF for a script to open these or Resave from the newer version to the older.

When placing a Illustrator file in Indesign, the Illustrator file sometime changes from 100%.

When placing a Illustrator file in Indesign, the Illustrator file sometime changes from 100%. When you select the placed file with the selection tool, it says 100%, but if you select with the direction tool, file has been changed any where from 98 to 102 %, not staying at the 100%? why is this and how can you asure the size does not change when placed or when updating the illustrator link?

Probably you have inserted files in a frame whose content was previously adequate with "Fit Content Proportionally" or "Fill Frame Proportionally".
The new content in the same frame will have the same characteristics as the previous one

How do I permanently delete music files from itunes AND my computer (without going to the folder to delete each item)? It's a windows system. I've tried 'reset all dialogue warnings' as I've been told to do but no luck. Files are still in Itunes folders.

How do I sync a PDF file between iPhone and iPad in iBooks?

How do I sync a PDF file between iPhone and iPad in iBooks?

If the PDF supports it then you can try opening the PDF in iBooks on your phone and use the 'share' icon (the square with the upward pointing arrow) to email it to yourself (some PDFs a protected and don't support emailing) and use 'open in' in the Mail app on your iPad to copy it to its Mail app.
Or you can connect the phone to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy it over to your iTunes (that should copy PDFs and/or epubs that are in the iBooks app, not just ibooks) and if using a Mac with Mavericks or Yosemite on it then do File > Move Books From iTunes in its iBooks app, and you can then sync it to your iPad.

How to revert back previous working files in InDesign CS6?

I have suddenly replace wrong working files, how to revert back previous working files in InDesign CS 6?
OS Mac version: 10.10.3
InDesign CS6 version

This feature does not exist in InDesign. You're best hope is that you have a backup of the previous file. Moving forward, you might want to try a free product called Radish that allows you to save versions and revert back to previous versions when needed. Here's a blog post I wrote about the product Story Versioning in InCopy | InCopySecrets.

How Do I create Windows Form file in VS and add the form to my VS project?

C#, How Do I create Windows Form file in VS and add the form file to my VS project by using C# code?
I like to create a Windows Form file into my VS Win Form project by using C#. I have the path and the file name.
I need a Win Form with FileName.cs, FileName.Designer.cs, FileName.resx, and FileName (as you see it VS by adding a Win Form manually by using VS)
Rune Brattas

You cannot create a Form from code at run time.
For one thing, the user running your application will, almost certainly, not have a copy of Visual Studio to hand with which to build anything. (Not that you actually need 'Studio at all; Notepad and csc.exe are all you actually
need), but that's another story).
You can do this with an awful lot of pain, using the innards of the compiler from iside your own program, compiling the new Form's source code on the fly and then executing the resulting assembly within your application. IMHO, that's a simply terrifying
prospect especially as the code you will be compiling will be on someone else's machine and over which you will have absolutely no control. If you're lucky, they'll spell something wrong and it won't compile.
The "usual" way to do this sort of thing is to create additional, "plug-in" forms as library assemblies and have your program load and execute these at run-time.

How do I access my *.Nef files in finder and aperture?

How do I access my *.Nef files in finder and aperture? What are the key strokes to finding these files.
BACKGROUND: I shot jpg and nef during recent trips overseas, but can only see the jpg files in finder and aperture. Are the original, the raw or NeF files?

Unfortunately, that horse is in the clover. The distinction would force "raw" to be understood as an adjective (which designates a family of image file formats) and not as an actual image file format, which in turn would help many better understand what raw camera files are. Alas. I suppose one could substitute "one of the raw file formats" in place of RAW.
Alas indeed, Kirby. On the other hand, if mentioning it now and again *does* help someone understand the distinction, then I'll continue to mention it, um, now and again.
And if it prompts someone to ask a question, all the better - I can then ride this particular hobbyhorse around the forum, slaying linguistic sloppiness in my path.
That Apple are guilty of the same error is disappointing though. As you say, Alas...
