Images Change in Document after Saving

Help! This problem has plagued me in both Pages and Keynote. I have designed a brochure in Pages and used "copy & paste" to place multiple pieces of clipart from another document into the brochure. Once I have everything laid out just as I'd like it, I save the document. I also export it as a PDF or WORD format so that it will be compatible for others to use. After saving and exporting, I close the program. Later when I reopen the document in order to make changes, my graphics have all been replaced by a single random image that has been used somewhere in the document. There isn't a rhyme or reason regarding which image is duplicated, but in every place in the document that had artwork, it is repeated.
As I mentioned this happened in Keynote as well as Pages. In this instance, I was using many photos which I inserted using the media selector (rather than "copy & paste"). When I came back into my project, all the photographs had changed to a single picture. AGGHH.
Am I just not doing something right? Or is this a flaw in the programs?

I never got this odd behaviour.
Most of the time, I don't use copy-paste but dag & drop which stores the picture file in the document in the original format.
When I uses copy - paste, I always get a tiff file in the document's package.

Help - Images change in document after saving

This issue has been plaguing be for a while and is quite frustrating. When I am working on a document for a scientific poster, I iwll get everything placed how I would like, then export it to PDF (where everything looks as I intend it to), but when I reopen pages to make additional edits some of the images have been changed to be a different random image in the document. This is extremely frustrating as the placing of figures and graphs in the poser is really time intensive, and every time it happens I have to start over. Other than this issue pages is great for working on these posters, but this issue is frequent enough, and a large enough annoyance that I am thinking of not using it any more.
There is an old discussion chain where someone was having the same issue, but it was never resolved and is now archived so I cant add to that thread.
Any help to resolve this would be greatly appreciated. These files are quite large due to the size of the poser (about 36" x 48", and ~130mb) in case that helps.
Thanks.

You need to learn some basic techniques in Pages and OSX.
1. When you drag an image onto a page it usually comes in as a floating object with wrap set, this causes text under to move so that it runs around the object. Usually this is what you want.
2. In your case you should create "placeholders" which are dummy images in the correct place, size and style which are replaced when you drag an image from the finder onto them.
Make a placeholder with an imagebox containing any graphic you like, set it up the way you want it with border, color, wrap, fit etc then:
Menu > Format > Advanced > Define as media placeholder
3. You can print just about anything to pdf from almost any application on OSX using the Print PDF button at the bottom left of the Print dialog box.
4. Pages has a beautiful graph tool which works in conjunction with a mini spreads sheet in the document:
Toolbar > Charts
5. Pages also works very well with graphs produced in Numbers
Download and read the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu.
Also iWork '09 The Missing Manual is an excellent reference

How InDesign comes to know about any changes on document, but not saved. As it shows * on the name of document when it is opened and any changes. And after saving * symbol is get removed from the name of document. How and where indesign@ handles this?

Are you just asking because you want to know, or do you have a problem you need to solve? I don't know how to write a program, but I think what your are describing is not an unusual thing for a program to do. The * tells you that changes have been made since the last save, and the program reserves a portion of memory for undo functions. I suppose a coder could tell you how it works, but I don't think it would help an average user to know, but that's just my opinion.

PLACING Images in Illustrator documents and saving.

Is there any way to just embed pictures in an illustrator document, because I know when you PLACE (File> Place) them in, it creates a link, and if you accidently delete a pic or something it won't show up in your document you open. My question is: Is it possible once you place images in your document, to embed them permanantly without having them linked at all, yet still preserve editing capability?
I save out a lot of PDF's and sometimes the images are linked to the pdf's as well. I always have (preserve illustrator editing capabilities) checked when I save out my PDF's in order to make changes regularly. ANY HELP??

To embed images go to you links palette flyout menu and choose embed.
Experienced Illustrator users usually do not embed because
makes your illustrator files larger and slower.
cannot keep track of resolution or color space
they can keep track of their files without losing
making edits later is a longer process
overall control and management of image quality is better
Embedding images on large projects increase the overall project file size, because you make a copy of the image within illustrator each time you embed.
To edit embedded images, you need to copy from illustrator and paste them into photoshop. Problem is you do not know what original resulotion they are and you maybe upsampling the image or changing the colorspace/profile. If you still want to embed, you are better off , keeping an original image in your job folder, that you can edit in Photoshop, and then use the links palette in Illustrator to relink.

Change where documents are saved

Acrobat X saves documents automatically to my own user directory and will not allow me to save them to "Public" folders - says that isn't authorized. I want them to be saved directly to "Public" folders without having to move the file after it's saved. How do I change this?
Powell 10

All my software installs with User: Jackie on the C Drive as the
administrator, and where files are usually stored by default. But I work in
the User: Public\My Documents folder because my husband and I share files
via our home network. So, when I convert a web page to Acrobat, for
example, the file goes to User:Jackie. When I try to change the location to
User:Public\My Documents, it says I don't have permission to save to this
file and would I want to save it to User:Jackie instead. Which I do. And
then I move it to Public\My Documents. A hassle.
With Microsoft Office, you can indicate your preferences for which is the
default folder is for various types of files. Is there something like that
with Acrobat?
Thanks for you quick response.

Dimmed images are not dimmed after saved as PDF.. please help!

Hi,
After dimming multiple images in AI, they are dimmed in the program but once i preview the pdf I saved of the .ai file, the images are not dimmed. What am i missing?
Thanks!

Dim is an Illustrator layer options attribute, that does not tranfer over to the .pdf. You will have to either group all in the layer and set transparency to you dim percentage, or draw a white rectangle and fill that with a percentage of white.

Home Screen Image changes "Color Theme" after software update

Any reason why the PC version of CS6 doesn't open a save as document after saved like OSX?

I am running cs6 on both PC and Mac. On my pc if I save a Photoshop file on it as a save as, it does not open the file immediately. I have to close the original file, find the file then open it. Very time consuming and also confusing if you are working fast. On my Mac if i save a document in Photoshop, doing a save as, it saves the doc, and opens it right there and you just continue to work. Any ideas?

Maybe I wrote this wrong. Here goes again.
On a mac, when you save as (for reference lets call it documentA) so I am working on DocumentA and want to make an iteration, I save as DocumentB, on OSX, it saves it as DocumentB (which is now the open doc in the PShop window) and I just keep working. No issues at all.
However same scenario on a PC, If i have DocumentA open and want to make an iteration I save as DocumentB, and DocumentB does not open, what remains is DocumentA. I then have to close DocumentA drill down to find the newly saved iteration (DocumentB) and then open that and continue to work. As you can see when working fast how this can become confusing.
If you would like I can do a screen capture video to show you. It may be system specific and not the norm on PC hence the reason I am on the forums trying to find out an answer.
Short story: on my PC saving a document does not leave the new document open it leaves the OLD document open. on OSX save as leaves the NEW document open.

Why can't I view my edited projects in the documents after saving from PSE10?

Aftrer I work on a project and save it, it is unable to be opened as a file in the document folders on our server. I can still open and view it in the photoshop program but not on its own. Thus, I cannot attach the finished products on web sites, etc. When I go to open the file, a blank Adobe screen pops up with a message that says something like 'cannot open this file because damage has been done to it.'
We have the program on two computers in the office (the max), and this is not happening on the second computer. What happened, and how can I fix this?
This is what comes up:

I should note that this problem did not occur before, and I could open the files easily in the saved documents whether I saved them as a jpeg, etc. Now when I want to view them, I can only view them in the Organizer. In the computer Documents file, the Adobe logo shows up rather than the thumbnail of the edited product. I am not trying to attach these in an e-mail and know that if I want these as a picture I need to save it as a JPEG. But, like I said, this was not a problem before and just started happening. Even when I want to upload the file on the web site, the error message comes back at me stating that it cannot open the file.
Not only do I have problems viewing my own Adobe Photoshop files but other finished products from others when I want to save and open the file. (We have a management group that helps to create templates for certain products in our office, and that is what I am referring to.)
WHAT IS GOING ON?!

Pixelated images in cover flow after saving in PS

If I resave any images in Photoshop (without any reduction to file size/resolution), they appear extremely rough (as if they're tiny thumbs) when previewed in coverflow.
Images downloaded direct from a camera always open in the Preview application - these only show as the default file icon ie. not the actual image.
Any help appreciated.
thx

If the image already has a custom thumbnail, that is what CoverFlow will display. If it doesn't, then CoverFlow will draw a thumb from the image content, and it will draw thumbs up to about 500 pixels in size. By resaving the photos with Photoshop, you undoubtedly got Photoshop's custom thumbnails clapped onto the image, and those thumbs are only 128 pixels. You have a choice: if you want to see custom thumbs, because they will display faster in Finder, then you will see those in CoverFlow and the quality will be poor at larger sizes; or you can forgo having custom thumbs and allow CoverFlow to draw the larger size thumbnails it is capable of showing. Finder will also draw thumbs for other views for files that have no thumbnails, it will do this on the fly, and will display them just fine, just noticeably slower. You tell it to do so using View->Show view options and check the box to "Show icon preview"--you need to do this for each sort of view (and the wording for showing an icon varie slightly with each sort of view). You can then click the "Use as Defaults" button at the bottom for Icon and List view. Individual folders that have their own settings (they have the "Always Open in" option checked at the top of the View Options pane) won't be affected, if you want them to you'll have to change things for those specific folders in the options pane.
Also, if you opt to not have custom thumbnails, you will need to tell Photoshop to stop putting them on the images. You do this in Photoshop's preferences. There's one "gotcha" doing this though: if the image has an alpha channel Finder will display the file as if the alpha channel were turned on as a mask. The only way to actually see the complete thumbnail for the image is with Photoshop's custom thumb, which will be 128 pixels max size.

Wrong display of values in the document after saving

Hello;
We have a problem in our SOLMAN system about our service documents.
When we change the user staus or priority or something like that(F4
fields) and then save the document, the changed values are updated in
the database but old values are shown again. When we re-enter the
document we can see the true values.
May you please help us in solving the problem?
Best Regards,

For what it's worth I have been having similar problems. Check the application log SLG1. Every time you save it creates entries.
I haven't been able to change the component. Also, I can't get SAP to acknowledge that it is not normal to save text in the description and not have it show up anywhere. Note 1001810 covers my situation exactly but I am above the support pack recommended. I have decided to just apply the new SPS 12 that is just out.

Creation of Shipment Document after Saving the Material Document in SAP ETM

Hi,
The SAP ETM (Equipment Tools Management) is active in the system.
As per the process flow We need to create a material document say with movement type 501.
The moment we save this document the system should create the Shipmenty Document in ETM.
The required BADI's and the function modules are activated and the required linkages are also activated.
Still the system does not behave as desired.

Jpeg image is super low after saving from a better version in PS

Im not sure how to explain this really. the past 2 projects that I have worked on have been a real nightmare. my canvvas size is 4 x 6 inches @ 300 ppi. The image looks fine in PS.
When I save it as a jpeg I choose the maximum quality size. An example is below. I didn't take these pictures and I didn't even put this one together. My sister in law did for their wedding "thank yous". I don't know how to fix this problem tho. ( i helped him tweak some colors in one of the panels)
the image size as far as pixels go is 1838 x 1238
when he prints this it is super grainy
thanks for any help you can offer.
I might also add that I'm sending him this via imail or wahtever Mac's email service is called. and grainy isn't like poor film quality grainy, but pixel grainy because it's been blown up grainy (which it shouldn't need to be blown up because i want it at 4x6 and tat is what it is set as)

Curt,
Thanks for the reply! I looked in to it some more and the issue happened when I tried to attache the image to the email to send it. evidently mail downsamples your image unless you specifically tell it "actual size" which you don't get the option to do when you initially attach it. So they were receiving a much downgaded image because of that.
what was helpful from your post was the bit about "printing from the thumbnail rather than the image" I think this has happened to me before as well, but never understood why. Thanks very much!
Kyle
