Images not centred when placed into InDesign CC 2014

Hello,
Since updating to InDesign CC every time I place a new image into a doc it drops down within the containing box a by a few mm. Auto fit is not on and the problem happens when placing an image via cmd + d or dragging and dropping from bridge or finder. Any ideas?

Thank you for your reply. I ditched the InDesign Defaults pref but couldn't find the InDesign SavedData file. I have uninstalled and put a fresh copy back on to my mac, this seems to have resolved the problem. I guess this was a pref file some where, I just could locate it.
Thanks for your help.

Illustrator vector images loses layers when placed into InDesign

I have a illustrator image that I want to paste into InDesign - I have tried pasting and placing however it appears both ways do not paste all the image elements. See below - any ideas?
Selected all and copied in Illustrator:
Then, pasted (and placed) into InDesign - missing neck, shirt

Pasting Illy artwork is for very simple drawings. Complex shapes and objects may not coming into ID exactly the way you want.
Why aren’t you placing the graphic?

Eps images looking pixelated when placed in Indesign

I am creating a catalogue. The images I am using are eps files.
In some instances the image once placed into Indesign come out completely or partly pixelated.
I have checked the display performance and it is on high quality. I am also placing the image not copy and pasting.
What do I need to do to fix the problem?

I don't know what PDF profile you exported to, but try PDF/X-4 and see if it results in a better PDF.
It sounds like the AI file could have either transparency and is being flattened or the PDF profile used to export is flattening the PDF gradient itself. The white lines...do they get larger as you zoom in? If not, they are stitching lines and usually do not print.

Why does my high res photoshop image appear blurry when placed in InDesign and Exported as PDF?

Hi there,
I have a problem I've been trying to solve for days but just can't find the answer anywhere on the internet.
I have a large, good quality photoshop file (2268 x 979 pixels, resolution 300 pixels per inch). When I place it into InDesign, the image appears OK (I've changed my display settings to HIGH) - I then resize it in InDesign to 10% and the file still looks great! Then, when I export it as PDF (high quality print) it looks blurry.
Does anybody know why? The strangest thing is, I've placed other photoshop images in the same InDesign file and they look crystal clear. It is just this one I am having trouble with. I've saved it in the same folder as the other pictures, I've tried placing it as psd. , jpg. , photoshop pdf, png. everything...
The image looks great in both photoshop and indesign, only when exported as pdf it looks awful.
Any help will be greatly appreciated,
Many thanks in advance!
Weronika

It's probably the extreme reduction -- you're throwing away 90% of the image pixels and interpolating, and then using jpeg compression on top.

Why does a TIF image look blurry when placed in InDesign file?

Hi all,
I've placed a logo in my InDesign file that I saved out of Photoshop. It appear blurry when in InDesign and I do have it set to high image quality display so that isn't the issue. It is also set as CMYK and I haven't resized it after saving from Photoshop.
I tried saving a jpg so it would be crisper but then I have a white box behind it when placed in the InDesign file.
Any help is greatly appreciated as I need to send it to print but can't let it go until I'm sure it won't print like a blurry mess.
Thanks

Sub-pixel sampling. Read up on it. you are placing your images at odd values and it gets resampled. Can be anything from the image inside the frame, the image frame itself, some styling option in ID...

Images appear pixelated when brought into indesign/exported to pdf

When i drag a large image file into indesign it appears very pixelated and cannot figure out how to get the resolution better, it also looks even worse when i export the project to a pdf file. Does anyone know how to fix this?

It may be that the image is too large and ID is having a hard time deciding on what to do with the file. If you use the FIle>Place method and look in the Links panel, what are the Actual and Effective resolutions given for the file?

Why do my pdf files disappear when placing into Indesign CC?

I was working a late night rush project. When I came to the point of placing pdf files in my indesign CC document nothing worked. The first files showed up missing their header. They next file simply did not appear on the page. They previewed ok. The eventual work around was to place them in Indesign 5.5, an older program. Then they came in fine. I need to have an answer to why this happened. I was not placing the files from the cloud on somewhere on the internet but from my hard drive. I am getting very frustrated with this new CC application.

Try showing the import options and make sure the crop option you want to use is one that is not grayed out.

.jpg resizes when placed into InDesign

I am trying to place two images into my ID document. The first one is a 350x200px jpg. The second is a 728x90px jpg. Both have been saved out of PS in the exact same way. The first jpg places at 100%, but the second places at 50%. I have tried creating new jpegs for testing, checked all my settings, but I can't find why this is happening. Why aren't both of my images placing at 100%?
I am on the most up-to-date version of InDesign (8.0.1).

Hi HammyKG,
You need to take a look at the document settings for your images. It sounds like they have different pixels per inch (PPI) measurements.
If I have two images that are both 300px by 300px:
and place them in InDesign, but one is 72ppi and the other is 300ppi they will place at different sizes:
It is a little bit confusing if you are coming from a web design background where pixels are the only way to define size, but in print PPI is king. If you have Photoshop you can open these images and change their PPI by going to Image > Image Size and changing the Resolution option. If you are printing the document I would recommend you make the PPI 300. If you are using it on the web I would make it 72ppi.

Grainy PDFs when placed into InDesign

Certain PDFs are becoming grainy with a lot of noise in InDesign CS3. Not all placed files, just certain ones. HELP! Any reason why?
Much appreciated!!

Joanie:
It's hard to say. Maybe you could post some pics.
It's unclear whether you're talking about printing out of InDesign (or exporting to PDF), or just your screen previews. For screen previews you could try selecting all and then right/control clicking on any element and selecting high-quality from the display performance.
If you're having trouble printing or exporting it might help the troubleshooter to do the above steps and see if they appear on screen in high quality display mode as grainy as they print.

Highlighted PDF text not showing when Placed in InDesign document

I'm trying to create a document using ID4 to compare two PDF's, an original PDF and a revised version with the changes notated using the Acrobat Highlight tool. When I Place the highlighted PDF into the ID document the highlighting is not imported. Am I doing something wrong? Is this feature not supported? Any assistence would be greatly appreciated.
JRS

No that would not be supported.

Illustrator files sometimes have a white BG when placed in InDesign

What determines if an Illustrator .ai file or Illustrator .eps file will have a white background when placed in InDesign? Usually when I place a .ai file, the background is white, and when I place a .eps file, the background is transparent. But I have noticed in other people's files that placed .ai files have a transparent background. In all cases, the placed file is pure vector. I would prefer that the background be transparent all the time, unless I give the object frame a while fill in InDesign.

This Gaussian Blur is probably created as a bitmap effect, not as live transparency. That makes sense, too, since EPS doesn't support transparency effects.
No option to change this in InDesign, unless you want to resort to ad hoc hacks such as setting the entire image to "multiply".
You can try to get hold of the original Illustrator file; if the blur is done as a transparent effect in that, ID sohuld be able to process it correctly.

Sharp Photo When Placed in Indesign, Text becomes Blurry...

I have a Photo (with Sharp Text) that when Placed in InDesign, the Text Becomes Blurry (as in Unreadable)...
What's Up with that? And, more Importantly, what can I do to Correct? Thanks (can attach if needed)

Is this on screen or in print? Check Display Performance. Right-click on the image to change the display performance of only that image, or use the View menu to change the Display Performance of the document. Higher display quality generally slows the program down, although it can be slight. If the text is a text layer in Photoshop consider saving as Photoshop PDF. This will keep the file fully editable in Photoshop but the text will be vector paths in the PDF, rather then rendered raster art at the image's resolution.

PDF Comments Disappear Upon Placing into InDesign CS5

I am creating an InDesign document in which I need to pull information from several files. One such file is a PDF with comments inserted via the typewriter tool.
Upon placing into InDesign, the comments do not appear, although the original text within the PDF does appear.
Will you please tell me if you know why this happens and if there is a workaround?
Thank you!

To amplify on my previous response, executing a one line JavaScript will flatten all annotations / comments within a PDF file into the base document. This line of JavaScript is:
      this.flattenPages();
This is documented in the JavaScript API Reference that is part of the Acrobat X SDK, freely downloadable from Adobe's web site.
This function is more fully documented in the PDF file I've attached to this posting.

Thanks Dov - this solved the issue!

My new iPad mini will not charge when plugged into adapter. Any suggestions?

my new ipad mini will not charge when plugged into adapter. What should I try?

Does the charger get warm at all? Plug the cable into your computer with iTunes open. Does it say not charging.? If it does, the cable is good. The iPad will charge very slowly when pluged into your computer.
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

IPhone will not charge when plugged into computer

My phone was not working, and so I took it to the apple store nearby. Here were the problems:
-error message saying "this device not made to work with iPhone"
-would not charge when plugged into computer OR wall charger
-person on other end of phone calls said i sounded really far away and had trouble hearing me
-when i shut it off, it restarts itself immediately
-cant do a manual reset holding the power and center buttons at same time
-when plugged into the computer, mouse freezes, and a message appears saying ""power surge on hub port A usb device has exceeded the power limits of its hub port."
At the genuis bar they told me they cant help me cause that little water damage indicator inside the headphone hole is pink instead of white! I have never ever ever ever ever EVER gotten my phone directly wet. The only thing i could think of was the humidity in the bathroom when I'm taking a shower, and using the timer to use hair remover on my legs lol. But i think this is totally unfair, they wont repair my phone, or even really look at it because of this supposed water damage. My phone has worked fine up to this point, and the thing that happened that started all of this is when i dropped it about a foot off the ground in a DRY parking lot.
Is there any way they will replace my iphone at no charge?

Well don't give up try again maybe your luck will change when you go back up there,let somebody else look at your phone not the same person that told you that.I would get a second and a 3rd option about my phone.When you go back don't even tell them what somebody already told you up there ones.
And after the 3rd time I'll ask them well can they send your phone off to be fixed,It might not be nothing wrong with your phone it might be just they eyes playing tricks on them.Cause I promise you I know my phone had gotten some water in it cause I was sitting on the porch one day me and about 6 other people one of my cousin came out and through a bucket of water at my brother and I was sitting right on the side of him.And when I say my phone look like I than gave it a bath witch when they did that I had already had call the Apple store and told them something was wrong with my phone.And they had gave me appt to come up there,so I went to the Apple store I wanted say two day's latter after I made the appt to let them see my phone but my cousin and brother was playing with that water the day before I had to go so I guess that's why I was mad cause I was going to get other phone the next day after apple look at my old phone.So even with all that they still gave me other phone and I don't see how I didn't have no water in my phone cause of how much water they had through on my phone.
I guess I was luck cause if they would have told me that I would have freaked out so badly.And the reason why cause I wouldn't had my phone for five days and for them to tell me they couldn't do something oh yea they would have done something cause I would have went to jail that day for tearing up something in the store that worth my 400 and something dollars I spent on my phone and it would have bent one of them computer that would have bent history.
But I'M telling you,you going to be okay don't give up.Make you other appt and see what they say.
