Importing PDF and Photoshop files since using Windows 7 64bit

Hi,
I recently upgraded (?) to Windows 7 64bit.  I have notices when importing PDF and photoshop files into the InDesign document, the resolution of the graphics are off and the lines are choppy.  Even the fonts are illegible.  What happened?  Are there some settings that I need to into and tweek to bring everything back into alignment and focus?  (If those are the correct words.)  When I view the PDF files in windows, they are normal.  It is only when imported into InDesign that they are distorted.
Thank you for any help.
Clark

I run Maximized, so the window fills the available space (you can set the shortcut properties to open that way so you don't have to do it each time), or you could resize the window from the top, then grabe the title bar and drag it upward on the screen. Windows should remember the size and position, but it may not, being Windows, after all.

  • Import .pdf and ai file in indesign cc

    Hi,
    I'd like to know if there's a way to import pdf and ai files in indesign cc 2014?
    Thanks

    If you're asking how to use a PDF or ai as a graphic in InDesign, File>Place is what you want. If you're asking how to manipulate the elements of a PDF or ai after it has been placed in InDesign, that's not how it works, although you can turn layers on or off in a placed ai file if you go to Object>Object Layer Options.

  • Opening PDF and PPT files without using BuddyApi

    Hi, please excuse my newness.
    I'm wanting to open pdf and ppt files through Director (I'm using 11.5) but I'm struggling with finding the right code to make it work. I saw that a lot of people are recommending Buddy Api. However I'm cheap and was hoping that there would be a way to open files without having to resort to using/paying for this xtra. Is there a reason why opening files in Director seems to be such a hassle?
    Thanks in advance.

    I'll also add that from my understanding, an unregistered version of Buddy API can be used in commercial applications.
    Buddy API is a great Xtra and if you're going to be developing applications with Director, this Xtra will be a valuable purchase. Buddy Xtra is recommended a lot in the Director forums for a good reason.

  • Can't uninstall dreamweaver and photoshop 32 bit from windows 64bit

    I have dreamweaver and photoshop cs6 installed on windows 7 in the c:\program files (x86) folder. I want to remove it, but it won't work.
    The cleaner tool also doesn't list these files and in the program manager of windows 7 I also can't uninstall it. What should I do, can I uninstall it manually?
    I think it has something to do with the 32bit vs 64 bit versions of adobe dreamweaver cs6 on my pc.

    Hi Rusido,
    If the products are uninstall from Programs & features>> Uninstall a program then you can manually delete the folders.
    Thanks!

  • Importing Illustrator and Photoshop files to Premiere Pro CS4 (without rastering)

    Hello,
    I've made some economics graphs in illustrator that i'm importing into premiere.
    Premiere pro cs4 doesn't import illustrator files as layers, just a single image.
    I exported from illustrator to save as a .psd to maintain the layers.
    I then imported the .psd into premiere which created a folder with all the .psd layers.
    I dragged the .psd layers onto the timeline so I could animate them with dissolves, but noticed they became pixelated.
    I rendered the layers and they still looked pixelated, even after export they were pixelated.
    From what I understand, illustrator files become rasterised when you export as .psd.
    Is there any way of maintaining the crisp vector graphics created in illustrator when importing into premiere?
    Can I avoid rastering the files?
    Thank for your help in advance
    Kind Regards
    Ant

    Thanks for your reply and welcome to the forum.
    I wondered why premiere was doing such a bad job of anti-aliasing...it turns out that all the .psd files were imported as square pixels instead of rectangular so I right clicked and selected interpret footage, then selected conform to DV PAL1.45.
    I assumed that as I set up the original Illustrator document as a video document (720x576) it would maintain the aspect ratio.
    Somewhere between exporting to .psd then to premiere the aspect ration somehow changed?
    I've found a great tutorial that appears to have a better workflow than the method I was using, by first creating a template in premiere, which can be exported directly to photoshop, maintaing  the correct aspect ratio. It means i'll have to draw up the graphs in Photoshop now instead of Illustrator.

  • IBookAuthor supports importing PDF and indesign files?

    Hi  everyone!
    There is any possibities to import a PDF or Indesign application in the iBookAuthor to re-edit and we add interactivity widget. Also we can get the Actual view as per the source.
    Thanks,
    Muzammil

    Not directly, no, sorry.
    iBA allows 'Insert' of WORD or Pages Chapters.
    Other content would require text copy from the source and paste into an existing iBA template with rework as required for matching original layouts.

  • Slow to open Illustrator and Photoshop files from FileServer

    I have a client that has 5 or so Mac users who cannot open Illustrator and Photoshop files from our Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard. At first, we thought it might be the size of the files over the network because some files are 2-3GB, but they are even having issues with files 200KB. We also tested network and bandwidth speeds, but they are all connected to Gigabit connections and running with PowerMacs.
    Some users have a workaround by copying the files to their desktop to open, but that is becoming tedious as well.
    Does anyone have another solution or know what might be cause to this?

    >Anyone know a way?
    You want to edit a Photoshop file, buy Photoshop. You want to edit an Illustrator file, buy Illustrator.

  • Installing Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.5 and PhotoShop 5.5 on windows 2008 R2 SP1 using Terminal services

    Hi All,
    Is it possible to install Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.5 and PhotoShop 5.5 on windows 2008 R2 SP1 using Terminal services. We are planning to use xenapp to publish these application.
    Please let me know if this is a supported environment.
    Regards
    Radhika

    As far as I know you will NOT be able to access OpenGL functionality through Terminal Services. as the OpenGL implementation provided in that environment is software, version 1.1 - not GPU-accelerated.
    I seem to recall there was a thread about a year ago here where someone was trying to do what you are asking.  I vaguely remember they were able to make it work, but I'm not sure.  You might try doing a search of this forum.

  • How do I generate PDF and CHM files from the a command line in windows?

    I am trying to set up a PC to build some documents during the night. I was looking for a way to get framemaker to generate PDF and CHM files via a command line in windows? How is this done with FrameMaker 12
    Thanks for the help
    Alex

    Hi,
    The part with generate a PDF via a jsx seems to work OK, except when FrameMaker decides that it will not work anymore. I must say I am not impressed with the stabillity of FrameMaker 12, there is room for a lot of improvement!.
    I have given up on how to figure out how to get FrameMaker 12 to generate chm files via jsx scripts, any pointes are still very welcome.
    The route I have taken is I make a RoboHelp project for each chm files I need to generate. The only thing this RoboHelp project contains is a link to the actual FrameMaker project I want to generate a chm file.
    To make the chm I start RoboHelp with a script that
    1) Opens the desired project
    2) Sets the desired output chm files name
    3) Generates the chm file
    4) And finally quits RoboHelp
    Below is a copy of the jsx in case anyone can reuse anything.  And yes parameters are transfered via enviroments variable. I have later learned there is some way to read the parameters given at a command line but this seems to work so I stick to this for now.
    // Get parameters
    var RhProjName = $.getenv("RH_PROJ_NAME");
    var RhChmName = $.getenv("RH_CHM_NAME");
    var RhLogFileName = $.getenv("RH_LOGFILE_NAME");
    var RhLogFile = new File(RhLogFileName);
    RhLogFile.open("w", "TEXT");
    RhLogFile.writeln("RH_PROJ_NAME : ", RhProjName);
    RhLogFile.writeln("RH_CHM_NAME : ", RhChmName);
    doc = RoboHelp.openProject (RhProjName, 1);
    var sslmngr = RoboHelp.project.SSLManager;
    for(var i = 1; i<=sslmngr.count; i++){
      var ssl = sslmngr.item(i);
      if(ssl.name == 'Microsoft HTML Help') {
        // Set the output location and file name
        ssl.setSpecificProperty("DestinationProjectName", RhChmName);
        if (doc.saveAll(true) ) {
          RhLogFile.writeln("saveAll returned TRUE");
        } else {
          RhLogFile.writeln("saveAll returned FALSE");
        if ( ssl.generate() ) {
          RhLogFile.writeln("ssl.generate returned TRUE");
        } else {
          RhLogFile.writeln("ssl.generate returned FALSE");
      } else {
        // alert ("Found " + ssl.name + " dont do anything");
    doc.saveAll(true);
    RhLogFile.close();
    RoboHelp.closeProject();
    RoboHelp.quit();

  • Since I have connected my iPad with the MacBook through ICloud I have problems in Preview of opening PDF- and JPG-files. Does anyone have a solution for this?

    Since I have connected my iPad with the MacBook through ICloud I have problems in Preview of opening PDF- and JPG-files. Does anyone have a solution for this?

    I'm not sure I understand the connection between iCloud and this problem.  Is it simply a problem of coincidental timing (ie, the problem happened after you set up iCloud)?  If so, there's almost certainly no connection between these two events.
    Where are you getting the files you're trying to open, and what specifically happens when you try to open them?

  • A working method to load local PDF and HTML files on iOS

    I had a lot of trouble getting this to work, and I'm hoping this post saves someone time. Some of the information that's been posted in other locations is either wrong, incomplete, or might only work on Android. By the time you read this message the information here may no longer be accurate, so here's the testing environment:
    Window 7
    Flash CS 5.5.0
    AIR 2.7.0.19530, which was compiled on June 28, 2011
    iPad 1, version 4.3.5 of iOS
    Let's get started.
    On iOS, you load external PDF and HTML files using the StageWebView class.
    On Windows, StageWebView works but the HTMLLoader class is a better choice if you're creating a desktop app.
    You can also load HTML files by reading in the file's text. The information in this post is only for loading external HTML files.
    StageWebView will not load a file that's in File.applicationDirectory. All files bundled in your app are placed in File.applicationDirectory, which means you'll have to copy any external file you wish to load with StageWebView to another directory.
    So where can you copy your file? File.applicationStorageDirectory won't work. File.documentsDirectory does work.
    Several people have recommended copying to a temporary file using File.createTempFile(). This works, but there's a catch: it seems that, like Windows, StageWebView relies on a file's extension when determining how to load it. When you create a temporary file on iOS using File.createTempFile(), the file will have no extension (and on Windows, File.createTempFile() creates a file with the extension .tmp, which is equally problematic).
    The solution to the file extension problem is to rename the temporary file by appending the original file's extension. AIR currently does not have a <file>.rename() function, so you'll have to do it using <tempFile>.moveTo().
    Here's some code I've successfully tested several times on both iOS and Windows. The file is copied to the temp directory. The file's extension is restored by just slapping the original file name to the end of the temp file.
            private function loadExternalFile():void
                var webView = new StageWebView();
                webView.stage = this.stage;
                webView.viewPort = new Rectangle( 0, 0, 1024, 555 );
                // Works with either html or pdf files.
                // These are stored in the root of the application directory.
                var fileName:String = "euei.pdf";
                //var fileName:String = "euei.htm";
                var sourceFile = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath( fileName );
                var workingFile = File.createTempFile();
                try
                    sourceFile.copyTo( workingFile, true );
                    // You have to rename the temp file
                    var renamedTempFile:File = workingFile.resolvePath(workingFile.nativePath + fileName);
                    workingFile.moveTo(renamedTempFile, true);
                    webView.loadURL( renamedTempFile.url );
                catch (err:Error) { }

    I tried this with Flash CS5.5 and AIR 4.0 SDK. Any pdf loaded simply fills the viewPort with black. Also tested with a png version of the pdf and that displayed just fine.
    What's the purpose of copying to a temp work file? I found that webView.loadURL( sourceFile.url ); gave me the exact same results.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Freehand can't convert EPS files into editable vectors. I
    usually run
    EPS files through Illustrator and then into Frehand. If you
    don't have

  • PDFs and Word Files open on iMac but not Macbook Pro

    I own an iMac and a MacBook Pro. Recently, I've been having an issue with some PDFs and Word files that have been emailed to me from different contacts. All open—and can be seen using Quick Look—on the iMac. However, on the MacBook Pro it's a different story. When I try Quick Look all I see are the icons. When I try to open the PDFs in Preview (default app for me) I get an error message saying the file could not be opened and might be damaged. When I try to open the Word doc in Word, Pages or Bean I see all of the extraneous header information etc and the text is all mixed up in that formatting junk. I have repaired permissions, cleared out my user cache, restarted—pretty much everything I can think of. But no luck. Thought?

    Brilliant suggestion! I checked all the display settings on my iMac 27" and confirmed they were the same settings as my MacBook -- until I checked the Window 7 screen resolution. Because of its size, I had expanded the screen across most of the monitor. When I changed the resolution to one suggested or configured by Windows, Approach worked fine. I've now tested it on quite a few of the settings, and as long as I let Windows determine the best resolution (on my iMac 27" it seems to be 2043 x 1276), Approach works like it should. Thank you!
