How to output from InDesign for best photocopy results?

Hi,
I need to output a color newsletter created in InDesign to be printed in grayscale for b&w photocopying. Because the newsletter has a few photos and other grayscale images, the InDesign file needs to be printed to my printer at a lower lpi for the best results to be photocopied.
The original is in color because the newsletter is primarily shared digitally. However, the client has a need to print copies on their photocopier for other distribution needs.
How can a file be EXPORTED or SAVED or PRINTED in a way that I can play with the lpi output in order to find the best results with their copier?
Thanks.

Does this need to be copied "off the glass" on this copier, or does it have a printer interface? Copying halftones is always a problem, and you don't normally get to set the screen frequency for a desktop printer (some postscript printers might allow it) -- in general they only have the abilitly, due to low resolution limitations, to output a very small number of actual frequencies and the odds that you'll find a screen that doesn't create an interference pattern onthe copier are pretty small. IF there is any way to adjust the lpi value, it will be in the printer driver.
If the client's copier has a printer interface, that's the way to go. Make a grayscale PDF (or if it's a monochrome machine, just send it the color PDF and see how it prints) and print, rather than copy, so you aren't re-screening the images.

2) How to SMI Label/Format a disk while OS Installation in Solaris 11.1?
As we know that ZFS is the default filesystem in Solaris 11.
We have seen in the Oracle documentation that for rpool below are recommended:
- A disk that is intended for a ZFS root pool must be created with an SMI label, not an EFI label.
- Create root pools with slices by using the s* identifier.
- ZFS applies an EFI label when you create a storage pool with whole disks.
- In general, you should create a disk slice with the bulk of disk space in slice 0.
I have seen the solution that using format -e, we change the labelling but all the data will be lost, whats the way to apply a SMI Label/Format on a rpool disks while OS Installation itself.
Please provide me the steps to SMI Label a disk while installaing Solaris 11.1 OS.

Oracle recommends below things on rpool: (thats reason wanted to apply SMI Label)

Is any one else have issues with interactive PDF output from InDesign CC (2014)

I am currently trying to produce a document with a level of interactivity I have achieved many times before.
The interactivity is just a web style menu, show/hide the menu shows button set one, clicking on those shows a second set of buttons, and clicking in one of those goes to destination page and hides all menu buttons once more.
When output from ID CC 2014 the result is loads of missing buttons and no working menu.
Its not a corrupt ID file. I tried a brand new empty file, recreated basic structure with simple one state buttons and achieved similarly useless results.
If I back save using IDML and open in CS5, export from there, it works beautifully, so problem is not as many have been recently, to do with Acrobat browsers.
If I back save and open in InDesign CC (not 2014), export from there, it doesn't work, so problem is shared there!
Anybody any suggestions? Experienced similar and found a cure?
SOLVED BY A COLLEAGUE:
You can (no longer) use full stops/decimal points in button naming. Menu was hierarchically labelled as 1, (1.1, 1.2), (1.1.1, 1.1.2) etc.
Renamed 1_1, 1_1_2 etc and all functionality has returned. Why you could and now you can't, who knows!
Hope this helps you if you stumble across here with the same issue.

Thank you for reporting this.
I would consider this a bug in InDesign CC v9.x and v10.x and would report it:

How is Output determination done for a PO ??

Hi
How is Output determination done for a PO ??
I need the O/P to the vendor sent in the form of a PDF file.
is it possible !!
cheers

Hi,
1. Condition Table
SPRO > Material Management> Purchasing -> Message -> Output Control->Condition Tables->Define Condition Table for Purchase Order
Select:
Purchasing Doc. Type,
Purch. Organization,
Vendor
2. Access Sequences
SPRO -> Material Management-> Purchasing -> Message -> Output Control->Access Sequences->Define Condition Table for Purchase Order
3. Message Type
SPRO -> Material Management-> Purchasing -> Message -> Output Control->Message Types->Define Message Type for Purchase Order
*4. Message Determination Schemas*
4.1. Message Determination Schemas
SPRO -> Material Management-> Purchasing -> Message -> Output Control->Message Schema->Define Message Schema for Purchase Order-> Maintain Message Determination Schema
4.2. Assign Schema to Purchase Order
SPRO -> Material Management-> Purchasing -> Message -> Output Control->Message Schema->Define Message Schema for Purchase Order-> Assign Schema to Purchase Order
5. Partner Roles per Message Type
SPRO -> Material Management-> Purchasing -> Message -> Output Control-> Partner Roles per Message Type ->Define Partner Role for Purchase Order
6. Condition Record
Navigation Path: SAP Menu-> Logistics -> Material Management -> Purchasing-> Master data->Messages-> Purchase Order-> MN04-> Create
Now you create PO (ME21N) and save it. Go to ME22N and print the PO by giving output type.
Output of GR
After setting table, access sequence and output type for GR,run MB02 transaction, enter material document number. Double click one line item and select messages. Separate screen will be opened to configure outputs. Give the required fields and save the document.
Now Run MB90, you can take printout. Output Type: WE03 or WE01 or WE02

Exporting graphic from InDesign for Web

Hi Everyone,
My goal is to create some large buttons for the web. I probably should have done this in another program, but since I'm a beginner to Adobe and still learning, I drew them in InDesign, the program I'm most educated on. I created an embossed box with rounded corners and added on some product photos and text.
I copied and pasted the boxes onto a transparent background in Photoshop, the exported them for Web as PNGs. They came out very pixelated. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for any help!

Copying just takes a scrap of the actual data from InDesign to Photoshop in your workflow. Hence you're getting pixelated output. The best way is to work in Photoshop use Pen tool to make curve corners and then place Photos and add text layers.

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.

P Spier wrote:
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 output from media encoder to camcorder via firewire?

I am using CS5.5 media encoder to output edited hi def footage from premiere as DV widescreen to sony FX 1 camcorder via firewire.
How do I route the output from media encoder to the firewire output?
This is the same camera I use for acqusition & import into premiere via firewire.
Media Encoder appears to be encoding the footage properly.
Thanks in advance for any help.

How do I route the output from media encoder to the firewire output?
You don't--or can't, rather. You'd need to use Premiere Pro for this. Check this help page for details: Exporting to videotape

How to output to DVD for duplication

OK, my video is finished. BUT, the file is very large: 5.3 gigs at present. I'm sure that its too large for a dvd disk. So what's the limit for filesize and how can I reduce my video to the necessary size for reproduction?
Also, now that my dvd burner isn't working correctly, I need to send the video to a company that can make copies for me. So my other issue is, how do I output the video from Encore for duplication to DVD? Can encore export all the settings, including menus and content? thanks
My understanding is, a dvd can't be any larger than maybe 4.7 gigs, and that's really pushing it.

Tell Encore to create an image ISO on your hard drive... any other computer with ISO aware software may be used to write a DVD
If you exported from PPro as MPEG2-DVD and your 2 files (audio and video) total 5.3Gig you will need to author in Encore and create a dual layer project for writing to ISO
While some is for CS5 and later, many of the ideas/tutorials in the link below do still apply
The PPro/Encore tutorial list in message #3 http://forums.adobe.com/message/2276578 may help, with more help in message #5

PDFs from InDesign for print then web?

The workflow is supposed to be: we simply take the PDF files which were created from InDesign and then sent to our printer, and give them to our web service company who has our online edition finished by morning. But we're upgrading our photo processing for the print edition, which results in overly bright photos for printing on newsprint. With a 48 page tiny-town newspaper, it would be a major problem to replace all of the photos in the layout with specially processed ones for web. But we need to have PDFs for our web service company that contain, richer, higher contrast photos for web.
Is there some trick other than manually processing new photos for every page and manually re-linking each one on every page? Maybe CS4 has some feature that makes this easy, i.e., automated web version of an InDesign layout, i.e., links to an alternate folder of photos just for a web version?
CS2 / Mac OS 10.4.11 / various Mac hardware

RGB-workflow is just a way to do things... You can do it in at least CS2, CS3 and CS4 softwares, propably with earlier versions too. It basically means that you adjust your images in some wide RGB gamut, like AdobeRGB, then save them without making CMYK conversion and place them to indesign layout as RGB images. When you export your PDF, you make that RGB-CMYK conversion to all images at once.
Normally people can use same adjustments for both web- and print images. When image is adjusted well, icc-profile that will be used for RGB-CMYK converion will take care of fine tuning like compensating midtones and Total Ink Limits...
In InDesign CS4 you can use Photoshop PSD images with adjustment layers. If you really have to make some adjustment that would be nice to get rid off in indesign, you may toggle visibility of those adjustment layers in InDesigns Object Layer Options tool.
I still suggest that you try to fix your workflow so that you don´t have to make any extra adjustments to images for printing after you have once placed them to indesign layout. It should be possible, millions of publishers do that every day...

Exporting a PDF X:3 from indesign for Blurb

Ok, I can't seem to get around this problem at all and I'm really getting frustrated. I have an indesign file that I want to export to a PDF X:3 file for blurb. From indesign I click on file>adobe pdf presents> blurb template. Then it asks me to name it, I do, then I click 'save' and the next box comes up with the 'export' button at the bottom. When I click 'export' the box goes away but then nothing at all happens- no status/ progress bar, no other messages, nothing. Then when I click on the PDF file on the desktop (or wherever I saved it) nothing opens, and the file size is listed as 0 bytes, so clearly it is not exporting.
Can someone please tell me what step I am missing to correctly export a PDF X:3 file? Like I said, I'm completely at a loss on this one. Thanks!

It's helpful to check the box to open the PDF when export is complete so you know it's finished. The progress bar, as Manish mentioned, is in the Background tasks panel on CS5 and later, but there is also a little scrolling horizontal lines icon that appears in the menu bar when a background task is working.

How to set FROM ADDRESS for EMAIL activity in Process Flow

Hi all,
Can any one tell how to set(which address) FROM ADDRESS for EMAIL activity in Process Flow?
Thanks,
Suvvi

Did you set what OWB guide says:
To execute a process flow with an email activity, you may need to access different host machines and ports. New security measures implemented in Oracle Database 11g Release 1 restrict access to hosts and ports. You must explicitly grant access to hosts and ports that the email activity accesses using the DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN package.
For example, the user OWBSYS needs to send an email through the mail server mail.example.com using port 25. The DBA must perform the following steps:
1. Create an Access Control List (ACL) for the user OWBSYS using the following command:
EXECUTE DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN.CREATE_ACL
(’acl_for_owb_cc.xml’,’ACL for Control Center’,’OWBSYS’,’CONNECT’);
The ACL has no access control effect unless it is assigned to network target.
2. Assign the Access Control List (ACL) to a network host, and optionally specify a TCP port range. Use the following command:
EXECUTE DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN.ASSIGN_ACL (’acl_for_owb_cc.xml’,’mail.example.com’,25)
3. Commit the changes made using the COMMIT command.

Weird output from InDesign CS4

I have a PhotoshopCS4 tiff RGB placed in an indd doc, and am printing it on my inkjet (Epson Stylus Photo R1800). The image looks fine in PS, but when output from indd it gets weird patterns in certian areas. When I print it from PS it prints fine. See these attachments:
In PS:
From indd:
Here are my specs:
Mac os 10.5.8 on Dual 2.3ghz PPC G5
PS & Indd CS4
Epson Stylus Photo R1800
Printer Driver 6.12
Any ideas?

I seemed to narrow it down to a setting in the print driver. When in the Print dialog in ID, then hit "Printer...". In the pull down there is the "Color Matching" menu. The problem occurs when "ColorSync" is selected. When "Epson Color Controls" is selected the problem does not happen.
Any ideas?

How can i download indesign for osx 10.5.8 in trial version?

I have an iMac with OSX 10.5.8 and i'd like try the trial version of inDesign. Where can i find the appropriate version and how can i dawnload it? Thanks Shantam

That's not quite true...
You can still get the CS5 trial from Download Adobe CS5 Free Trials – All Direct Links without Akamai | ProDesignTools, but at the nd of the trial period there is no way to buy a license. If you only need it for fixing an existing file, or you can finish your project in less than 30 days, then that might be an option.
