How to fix FO picture files created from interexchange

Hi,
I am working on a catalog from a client. There are 645 picture links which were not sent with the job (3GB worth). I did the job in CS4 and saved as .inx so my client could open it in CS3. In CS3, all the picture files are gray boxes marked FO and all the links are missing from the link palette. Is there an easy fix for this?
Thanks

Stephanie sent me the problem file last night and I've done a bit of playing.
It opened after around five minutes (maybe more) in CS3 with the expected missing links and missing fonts warnings and the gray boxes. Many of the gray frames have tags associated with them (FPO - which means "For Position Only" - on page 1) which are separate text frames added to tell whoever is working on the file that these are not the final images. That cleared up one qustion I had.
More importanly though, there were supposed to be 695 links. I looked in the links panel and all of the links were listed as foo.jpg, with a path of C:\foo.jpg, clearly not correct (I didn't count to see if there were 695). So I took a look at the .inx file as text.
.inx is basically XML, I think, but not really intended for human parsing. You can, however read it (and if you know what you're doing, which I don't, edit it) in a text editor, and it's pretty easy to recognize things like link paths. The correct paths seemed to be in place, so foo.jpg is clearly garbage and I have no idea where it came from.
I opened the same .inx in CS4. It opened more quickly, and showed the links as expected, just as Stephanie reported above, so I saved the file as a new .indd and then exportd a new .inx.
The new .inx was also slow to open in CS3, but this time the links were correctly imported and shown in the links panel, though of course they are still missing. This is the correct and expected behavior. My conclusion from this is that there is something odd about the first .inx file.
The first difference I noticed is that my file is smaller by about 100,000 bytes (both are over 17 MB). They are too large to do a complete comparison, but there are some differences in the beginnings of the files which I am not able to interpret, some differnces in swatch listings for Pantone spot colors which I would guess are a settings difference in Ink Manager for using LAB values for convrting spot to process.
I also noticed what appears to be some additional information included in the link listings of the first file which is not present in the second. I don't know how to read the tags or interpret the hex codes included, so I don't kow if this is significant, but I suspect that's the problem.
In any case, I'd like to know if Stepahnie did a plain Save or a Save AS before doing the initial export. My instinct is that a long series of regular saves left a lot of useless change information in the file that found its way into the .inx. Doing a Save As removes all of that garbage data from previous sessions and reduces the size of the .indd file and makes for cleaner export.
The bottom line, I think, is that the original .inx is defective, but that it could be regenerated successfully. If you have the time, can you do a Save As on the ID file, then make a new .inx and send that to me to see how it opens in CS3? I'm going to send you the one I made from the .inx you sent last night which appears to be usable, but it doesn't really solve the problem of WHY the first file was bad.

  • How can I assign image file name from Main() class

    I am trying to create library class which will be accessed and used by different applications (with different image files to be assigned). So, what image file to call should be determined by and in the Main class.
    Here is the Main class
    import org.me.lib.MyJNIWindowClass;
    public class Main {
    public Main() {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    MyJNIWindowClass mw = new MyJNIWindowClass();
    mw.s = "clock.gif";
    And here is the library class
    package org.me.lib;
    public class MyJNIWindowClass {
    public String s;
    ImageIcon image = new ImageIcon("C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Desktop/" + s);
    public MyJNIWindowClass() {
    JLabel jl = new JLabel(image);
    JFrame jf = new JFrame();
    jf.add(jl);
    jf.setVisible(true);
    jf.pack();
    I do understand that when I am making reference from main() method to MyJNIWindowClass() s first initialized to null and that is why clock could not be seen but how can I assign image file name from Main() class for library class without creating reference to Main() from MyJNIWindowClass()? As I said, I want this library class being accessed from different applications (means different Main() classes).
    Thank you.

    Your problem is one of timing. Consider this simple example.
    public class Example {
        public String s;
        private String message = "Hello, " + s;
        public String toString() {
            return message;
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            Example ex = new Example();
            ex.s = "world";
            System.out.println(ex.toString());
    }When this code is executed, the following happens in order:
    1. new Example() is executed, causing an object to constructed. In particular:
    2. field s is given value null (since no value is explicitly assigned.
    3. field message is given value "Hello, null"
    4. Back in method main, field s is now given value "world", but that
    doesn't change message.
    5. Finally, "Hello, null" is output.
    The following fixes the above example:
    public class Example {
        private String message;
        public Example(String name) {
            message = "Hello, " + name;
        public String toString() {
            return message;
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            Example ex = new Example("world");
            System.out.println(ex.toString());
    }

  • Problem printing PDF picture files imported from JPG using HP Colour InkJet cp1700 printer

    When I print PDF picture files imported from JPG using an HP Colour InkJet cp1700 printer, the picture spills over.  A wide range of other PDF files print OK.  Have tried things such as configuring the printer to scale to letter size, etc,, but without success.  Have a Windows 7 64 bit computer and Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended 9.5.5.  Any ideas?

    Hello there! Welcome to the forums @rt70 
    I understand you're having some issues with printing PDF files from a website on Windows 7.
    I would personally suggest trying to print from that website using a different web browser. If you're using Internet Explorer, try FireFox or Chrome, for example.
    You can also try running the Print and Scan Doctor tool, that will search and try and fix printing issues.
    If you have any issues that continue, please let me know what they are and which programs, websites, and web browsers you have tried, along with the results from running the diagnostic tool above.
    Good luck and have a great day

  • DNG files created from Fujifilm FinePix E-900 .RAF raw files

    I'm having a problem in creating DNG files from my Fujifilm FinePix E-900 camera .RAF raw files on my Mac (Mac OS X 10.6.4).  The DNG files are recognized correctly in Adobe software (Photoshop CS4, Bridge, Lightroom 3) but not by any Apple software (including Aperture 3.0).
    I've used Adobe DNG Converter 6.1, Photoshop CS4, and Lightroom 3 to create these non-linear DNG files.  As a point of reference, I've used the same settings to create DNG files from Kodak .KDC raws files that Apple also doesn't support, but these DNG files (created from the .KDC raw files) show up just fine in Aperture 3.0.
    The one thing I find unusual about the .DNG files created from the Fujifilm FineFix E-900 .RAF raw files is that when I do a 'Get Info' on these files, the image dimensions of these .DNG files always shows up as 0 x 0.  (The image dimensions should be listed as 3488 x 2616.)
    So I'm wondering if there is something wrong (a bug maybe) on how these files are being converted to the DNG file format using Adobe DNG Converter 6.1, Photoshop CS4 or Lightroom 3 on a Mac.
    Peter

    Hi Frank, you need camera Raw 7.4 which is only available for PSE11. Consider upgrading or wait for PSE12 to be launched soon. If you regularly shoot raw try Lightroom with PSE10 as your external editor.
    Alternatively, download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in PSE10 (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
    Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.1
    Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.1
    You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

    Open them in Quicktime Player 10.1. Then, use Quicktime's Share menu > iTunes.  That will create an iTunes compatible version and automatically load it into your iTunes movie library.

  • How can I send pictures or email from my desktop to a cell phone?

    How can I send pictures or email from my desktop to a cell phone?
    I use Gmail for my emails.

    By sharing playlists you mean sending the list of song titles along with the songs themselves you can't.  That would violate Apple's contracts with the studios regarding sharing music, videos, books, etc.  Which is strictly forbidden. With the single exception that I am aware of which is Home Sharing.
    If you just want to share the list of song titles you could take a screen shot and email that.  Hold down the home button and press and release the power button.  The image is then stored in your camera roll.
