Imported EPS has boxes in place of some text

I am running Windows 7 and Indesign CS4.
I recently got a new computer and have trouble with the text in eps files. When I open some Indesign files (with an eps file placed in it) most of the font is replaced by tiny boxes. I did not have this trouble with my old computer that was Windows XP (and InDesign CS4). I am not sure if it is a Windows conflict or a font issue?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Sheila

I appreciate the suggestions-
Does this mean there isn't a solution to have eps files in Indesign? I would need to re-save all my eps files as ai files?

If it is only 5 days old, take it back to where you bought it
and get it replaced.

Please help! I defragged my hard drive and now Illustrator CS6 is trying to open all of my complex Illustrator files with a "Text Import Options" box as if they are text files, and they are not opening!

Hi Monika,
I have spent the last two or three days trying to do what you suggested. I uninstalled Adobe 6 from Windows. Some files that CS6 placed on my system during installation remained, including fonts and .dll files.
I had to abandon the Cleaner Tool you suggested because in one screen it allowed me to specify removing CS6 only, but on the following screen it only gave on option to remove ALL Adobe programs. I could not do that because I didn't have the serial number handy for CS3 in case I want to reinstall it at some point.
I tried to get technical help with the Cleaner Tool problem but no definitive help was available, so I reinstalled CS6 again without having the benefit of the Cleaner Tool. I tried to get the serial number for CS3 so I could use the Cleaner Tool but spent 2 wasted hours in chat. Even though I had a customer number, order number, order date, place of purchase, the email address used AND 16 digits of the serial number, in two hours the agent couldn't give me the serial number. After two hours I had nothing but instructions to wait another 20 minutes for a case number.
Illustrator CS6 is still trying to open some backups as Text and otherNone of the problems have been fixed. I have tried to open/use the .ai files in CS6 installed on another system and am getting the same result, so I don't think the software was damaged by the cleaner. The hard drive cleaner is well-known and I've run it many times without any problem to previous versions of Illustrator or any other programs.
When I ordered, the sale rep promised good technical support and gave me an 800 number, but after I paid the $2000, I learned that the 800 number she gave me doesn't support CS6 and hangs up on me. Adobe doesn't call it a current product even though they just sold it to me about 3 weeks ago.
Would appreciate any help you experts can offer. If I can't solve this, the last backup I can use was from June and I will have lost HUNDREDS of hours of work and assets that I cannot replace.
Exhausted and still desperately in need of help...

When I convert my pdf doc to word, the fonts go really weird and it also puts some text into boxes. when I try to select the test and change the font, it does not change it properly?

When I convert my pdf doc to word, the fonts go really weird and it also puts some text into boxes. when I try to select the text and change the font, it does not change it properly? This is making it impossible to amend.

Hi Janedance1,
If the PDF that you converted already has searchable text, please try disabling OCR as described in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when converting PDF to Word or Excel. (If the PDF was created from a scanned document and doesn't already have searchable text, disabling OCR isn't a great option, as the text won't be searchable/editable in the converted Word doc.)
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

When I import my CDs to ITunes it splits some of them into 2 or 3 separate albums. Is there a way I can combine them into one?

When I imported my CDs into ITunes it split some of them into 2 or 3 separate albums. Is there a way to recombine them back into one album?

If your CD has tracks with different artists, then you need to identify it as a 'compilation' CD. Select all of the tracks in the CD, then 'get info' (control-I), and go to 'Options'. Select 'yes' for 'Part of a compilation'. That should fix the problem.

Error when importing EPS files in Publisher 2010

Whenever I attempt to insert an EPS file (possibly other image types as well) into a Publisher document I get a prompt asking for what type of file the source is and then this error:
"An
error occurred while importing this file."
This is running as a Citrix Published Application running on Server 2008 R2 and I've found that this does not happen outside of Citrix. If i login directly to the server via RDP or right from the console I do not get this issue. I've posted in
the Citrix Forums and it looks like this is something to do with MS Publisher and not being able to use the Explorer shell.
http://forums.citrix.com/thread.jspa?threadID=307437
Researched this error and found this article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/224744 (This is unacceptable since the file needs to be in EPS format to keep functionality)
There was another article but I cannot find it for the life of me at this time but it suggested that you uninstall and reinstall Office or repair Office.
I did both with no luck.
I am able to get Citrix to open up publisher with the shell by initiating this command:
explorer.exe /root,D:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\MSPUB.exe
With this command firing up Publisher I'm able to import EPS files with no problem. However I cannot pass an argument to this command so double clicking documents in our Citrix portal do not open up the document but rather just opens up a blank Publisher
file. So this isn't a good "solution."
I should not have to make this command to just be able to import images as a workaround. Anyone run into this in their Citrix environments? Microsoft, do you have anything that can be tweaked with Publisher to allow this to work as normal in
a Citrix environment?

I was able to get a workaround for this. I made a .cmd and put this into it:
if [%1]==[] explorer2.exe /root,D:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\MSPUB.exe %1
if [%1] NEQ [] "D:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\MSPUB.exe" %1
You will need to change your paths to your MSPub.exe and if you are using explorer.exe change that as well. We use explorer2.exe since we've found issues with using the original explorer.exe.
Once you have that CMD file made. Save it to your Xenapp boxes in the same location and then point your published app to that file to launch Publisher.
This worked for us but I'm not sure if it will work for anyone else but give it a go and let me know.

Can imported EPS color graphic print as black in CS3 (Mac)?

I am switching to ID from PageMaker 6 (Mac) and wonder why the newly opened document will only print graphic files (EPS) in composite gray instead of black? There is no option for black output except for text. All other options are Composite gray, RGB, CMKY, etc. I'm using Mac OS 10.4.11 and an old HP 2100M black/white printer and have to fax output to customer for approval. Black text and gray images on the same document is not too cool!
Pagemaker allows you to select "print colors in black" in the print dialog box and everything prints in black. Why doesn't ID seem to offer the same thing, or did I miss something?
Thanks,
Chuck

Hi Bob,
I was afraid you'd tell me that. InDesign can't print a graphic in
black on a B/W printer... not great Adobe. I'm kind of surprised
seeing that PageMaker does it easily. Is it the same for ID CS5?
Trouble is I have literally thousands of PM documents with imported
EPS files. I know EPS is now an obsolete file format, but the reality
of it is that's what I have to work with. To have to go back to each
and every file+ and re-create the graphic in black & white just isn't
feasible. I guess I'll have to reconsider the imminent switch to ID a
bit more.
Appreciate the feedback, even though it wasn't what I wanted to
hear. : )
Thanks,
Chuck

I downloaded and installed Photoshop Elements & Premiere Elements. I then launched Photoshop Elements Organizer and imported approx. 28,000 photos (including some videos). A window opened indicating that many of the photos had tags, and asking if I wanted to add the tags. I said yes, and the process began. When it reached 60% a window opened indicating that "Elements 13 Organizer has stopped working", with the only option being to "Close program."
I've since tried to open organizer several times, but it goes immediately to "Elements 13 Organizer has stopped working". I was able to open Editor, and tried opening Organizer from Editor, but encountered the same problem.
FYI, I have an open case (#0214505556), but have not received the help I need.

This issue is with respect to Elements 13.

Import EPS files? Plugin?

I can export EPS to maintain vector data, but can I import EPS files, while maintaining vector data?
If not, is there any way to open vector data in Photoshop?
A plug-in?

Photoshop cannot import the paths in general. If you copy paths from Illustrator and paste them into Photoshop, we can convert the AICB data to Photoshop paths. If you place or open a file, Photoshop can't do that (it can't handle general case EPS or PDF paths).
But placing an EPS or PDF file will retain the vector nature, so you can resize, rotate, color convert, etc. the content without losing the vector quality. That was added with the Smart Objects feature a while back.

Import .eps files...

I am trying to import .eps files into a keynote presentation -- drag and drop or "insert" works fine in Keynote 3, but fails to work in Keynote '08. It does work for gif and jpeg, but the .eps files I just tried to import into a new presentation were greyed out in the menu....
Any suggestions?

I found the problem, and I will post the solution in order to save others the embarrassment. I have been a keynote user since 1.0 and all the old copies were still on my hard-drive. For some reason (which i still do not understand, and probably does not matter) the system decided to open 1.0 instead of Keynote '08 -- and 1.0 did not have .eps import. In '08 everything does indeed work as it should.

Importing .eps images in MDM

Hi There, i'm trying to use the data manager to import images into the MDM database of .eps format. I have the photoshop options selected but i'm still getting the MDM Server Error message whenever i try to import an .eps image. Has anyone been able to import these types of images into MDM?

Hi Adams,
Yes.Importing .eps file is working perfectly fine for me.
I executed the below steps :
1)Choose Images table from table list in Data manager.
2)In Records pane, Right click > Add .
3) In the pop up window, select Data group >Language (if reqd) > Add .eps files from local drive.
While executing above step, choose the radio button ' Store in repository'.
Note : A data group hierarchy is a must. Incase child nodes are absent in Data Groups, use 'Edit' and add a child/sibling/parent in Data Group.
Please let me know if this resolves .

Import Video Dialog Box on CS3

This is really frustrating. I'm trying to import an mpeg clip
into the stage and the Import Video Dialog Box is way too big for
my screen. I can't resize it and I can't reach its bottom, no
scrolling or resizing allowed. I hit enter and it takes me to the
skinning dialog box, which has the same problem. When I hit enter,
it does nothing, so I'm stuck and unable to import video at all.
Does anyone have this problem?

Are you talking about Flash CS3?

I have an email thread that has become unprintable (and in some cases unreadable) because each email in the thread is indented and eventually the text is very far to the right margin and even beyond. How do I correct this?

I have an extremely long and important email thread that has become unprintable (and in some cases unreadable) because each preceding email in the thread is indented and eventually the text is very far to the right margin and even beyond. Some of the text is even showing up as only 1 letter per line. I tried selecting all and then left justifying it, thinking that that would shift everything to the left, but it didn't work. When I go to print the thread, it shows as 344 pages, which although long, I can't believe it's that long. What do you think happened to cause this and can it be corrected?

Ick. So it can't just work sensibly? Sensible would be either autosave overwrites previously autosaved versions or all autosaved versions would be deleted when the message is finally sent. Allowing previous message versions to accumulate endlessly might be beneficial to someone, but does not seem like sensible default behavior.

The kernel-mode plugin has a new place.

After a pacman -Syu this morning I get this message at the conclusion of the update;
>>> The kernel-mode plugin has a new place.
>>> It's now located under /usr/lib/rp-pppoe/rp-pppoe.so
>>> Change LINUX_PLUGIN to the new path in your /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf
If I have a look at pppoe.conf;
# Linux kernel-mode plugin for pppd. If you want to try the kernel-mode
# plugin, use LINUX_PLUGIN=/etc/ppp/plugins/rp-pppoe.so
LINUX_PLUGIN=
Should I add the route to this plugin or not?
I don't fully understand why I would need this.:/

whaler wrote:I have PPPoE with ADSL. Are there any benefits with the kernel-mode?
I still have issues with this configuration. Kernel mode worked for a few days but with a recent nvidia upgrade (nvidia 190.53-4) it started again to only sporadically connect. So I had to remove the LINUX_PLUGIN line again (or set it empty which may have the same effect).
I would rather like to better understand all that kernel mode stuff. Somehow the drivers appear to interact in kernel mode. But how? Things would probably be easier if someone could point me to some concise explanation.
