InDesign CS3 inverts JPEGs before export

I'm laying out a youth group's yearbook, and I'm having a fairly hard time of it. The layout is going fine, linking seems to work, but when I go to export the file to PDF, many of the JPEGs have inverted (they are now negative). I am at loss as to how to fix the problem. It seems not to have affected the images I most recently opened and re-saved from Photoshop, so my next attempt to rectify the situation will be to open every file in Photoshop and re-save it. (I think I'll script it.) If that doesn't work, do you have any suggestions?

That was the problem. Thanks for your help.

  • Indesign CS3 - copy paste and export problem

    When I try to copy text in Indesign CS3 and paste it in Word 2007 - or even in notepad - nothing happens. Pasting works fine when I stay in Indesign, but not when I try to paste it in another application.
    So I tried to export text to RTF (selecting text, export to rtf, give a name als save), but no file was created.
    Pasting text from another app. into Indesign just works fine.
    Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?
    Thanks for any advise.

    I solve this problem in windows XP using the Phaedra's first optimistic tip and worked fine to me.
    When I tested the IDcs3 in another profile it was clear that the problem is not in the program, but in permissions or another detail in the user config.
    To simplifly my life, I create a new user account "MIGUEL2" in Windows as admin powers. With this new account I "reboot" my oldest ("MIGUEL") account to user mode. Restarted windows and, with "MIGUEL2" I reset the privileges to "MIGUEL" to admin user.
    Now I can export txt and rtf files from IDcs3. ;)
    You can skip the last step and work only with the new account or just work as user, not admin...
    Really weird. Why this happened? I don't know... but I'm happy that was too simple to solve...

  • InDesign CS3 crashes when I export a PDF. I have updated it to 5.0.4 but it still crashed. I bought it as part of the Design Premium pack. How do I uninstall InDesignCS3 and reinstall the original software?

    Hi, the title says it all
    I've been trying to find out on the Adobe site how to uninstall CS3 Design Premium and then reinstall the original software in the hope that this will eliminate the crashing problem, which only started yesterday.
    You're help will be very much appreciated.

    Run the cleaner tool and reinstall.
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    Just be aware that none of this will matter if you are using a newer version of e.g. Acrobat that by ways of updates may introduce/ have introduced an incompatible version of one of the PDF libraries commonly shared and used by all Adobe programs. you have to tread lightly and be careful...

  • InDesign CS3, Cannot Export (greyed out) or Print

    HELP!! I am having trouble Printing and Exporting in InDesign CS3 only(mac osx), I can Export and Print on all other Adobe programs that are installed on my computer.
    I can also still create a PDF through the Adobe PDF presets, but cannot EXPORT or PRINT!!! Under the File Settings, Export is Greyed out, while Print is Black, but nothing happens when clicked.
    Any ideas???... My printer driver is working good as I print to 3 printers at the moment and make pdfs of a regular basis and this has never happened before. It just seemed to happen out of the blue when I turned my computer on one morning. I've been working the long way around for now, but now need it fixed desperately!!!

    The classic question is what were you doing just before this? Programs usually don't stop working for no reason "out of the blue," so most likley something else has changed on your system.

  • Export indesign pages as jpegs?

    I can't seem to export my indesign files as jpegs in CC. I am able to export pdf's and eps files, but not jpegs or png files. There is no error message or warning, the dialogue box comes up as normal, but the files never export. Has anyone else had this problem? I have never had an issue in earlier versions of Indesign. Any help is much appreciated!

    It's working for me, and I don't remember this being reported here before.
    I'd suggest starting by restoring your InDesign preferences:

  • Is there a way to trace back an indesign document from which a certain jpeg was exported?

    I have a jpeg image that was exported from indesign a long time ago.

    Depending on how the text interacts visually with the image, it might be possible to use the fill property of the content-aware deletion feature of recent Photoshop versions to remove the text with little or no evidence of the deletion, then apply text over the graphic however you like.

  • How can I restore proper PDF exports from InDesign CS3 or CS5 in Snow Leopard?

    I had no problems exporting PDFs from InDesign CS3 (on a Mac Pro running 10.6.4 Snow Leopard) until this past weekend, when all the fonts appeared bitmapped or thin and raggedy, and the images lost some color depth and contrast. When I copied the InDesign document to my MacBook Pro laptop, also running 10.6.4, the PDF emerged with its original quality. Calls to Adobe support referred me to documents concerning incompatibilities between InDesign and Snow Leopard. One of these documents was several pages long, but I could not print it from the Adobe website to my HP All-In-One Officejet, because one-third of the document was hidden under a white panel. This makes the document impractical for troubleshooting, because I don't have enough screen real estate (even on a 23-inch display) to keep the document open along with all the pages and dialogue boxes needed for reference. Back to phone and chat support, I was advised to upgrade my Creative Suite Premium CS3 to CS5 ($800!!!) and purchase the latest Acrobat Pro upgrade ($200), with no guarantee that this $1,000 cost would actually solve the problem. I did download the trial version of InDesign CS5, and it did NOT solve the problem. I'm also concerned that the problem did not exist until last weekend. Prior to that, my CS3 and Snow Leopard combination worked just fine. I then checked the forums and was dismayed at the variety of problems associated with PDF files, for which there seems to be no general fix. Meanwhile, I have hundreds of ads I'm supposed to be preparing and emailing as PDF proofs to businesses around the country. I have two books of 120 and 256 pages that need to be submitted to printers in PDF format with all kinds of fonts and image files belonging to my clients. The last time I submitted a book to a printer via email, the job went perfectly. This time, and next, it's obvious I won't be able to send PDFs at all! If that's the case, my 27-year-old directory business will be unable to absorb the expenses necessary to start all over with new computers and software, and I will be out of business. Period. So-- does anyone have a way to fix this? I would surely be grateful.

    I'm on a local network, built on Apple's Airport Extreme. but I'm the only computer user on it. I use it for transferring files between the desktop computer (Apple Mac Pro) and laptop (Apple MacBook Pro) and, occasionally, to print from the laptop to a Xerox Phaser printer.
    About a year ago, I added an Apple Airport Express to the network, allowing me to play iTunes music from the laptop through a Panasonic BluRay player connected to a home theatre sound system. No problems of this nature appeared with that installation.
    About four months ago, we connected a DirecTV satellite receiver system to the D-Link router that carries wired network service from the desktop computer to the Xerox printer. The satellite TV system includes a series of modems that allows DVR recordings to be accessed and played from any of the TVs in the house. (As you would now perceive, I run my publishing business from my home). However, this set-up has been functioning for about four months, and I did not encounter the PDF problem until last weekend.
    Now -- about the fonts.
    Because of the many ads that I publish from various sponsors, it is possible that different versions of the same fonts have invaded my system. In the "missing font" alerts I get, InDesign frequently is seeking TT or T1 versions, which I replace with Adobe fonts when possible. Adobe Creative Suite Design Premium included a fairly large collection, which it keeps in one folder.  The Apple OS also includes a bunch in a separate font management folder; and there are carry-over fonts that came with the business when I acquired it 10 years ago. Some of those fonts may go back 25 years to the book's inception. However, in the past several years, I have generally rebuilt all the ads that appear in my publications, substituting newer versions of fonts. Hence, the preflight program has been able to locate and include all the necessary fonts in the packages that go to the printers.
    Once again, I have been able to export good PDF files for all the varieties of ads and books included in my system, until last weekend. One of the documents is built entirely with Helvetica Narrow, for which I have only one version.. Another document consists mainly of Times, and there are 3 or 4 versions of that font in the system; but the version contained in the document has not changed from when it exported properly.
    So... I guess the complexities involved in the network and/or fonts could be part of the problem, as you suggest, but golly -- I hope not. The last thing I want to do is disrupt and rebuild the network or font collections. The font situation especially would set back production for months if not years, because so many individual ads and off-site clients would be involved in the process.
    I'm sorry if I provided more details than you expected. I didn't mean to take so much of your time.
    Thank you.

  • Indesign CS3 text frame parameters and export PDF

    could use some help with the following:
    I need to edit and export a large number (7000) Indesign documents (one page)
    1. check for locked text frames and unlock
    2. group all text frames
    3. set grouped text frames at x=8 millimeters, y 10 milimeters
    4. export the documents to PDF in a subfolder called "Out"
    5. save and close the documents in the same subfolder as an Indesign CS3 document (orig is CS2)
    This is what I've been trying soo far:
    Now only checking one text frame - should be all text frames
    "close document 1 saving yes" doesn't work because the originals are from CS2
    I get a PDF called "Adobe Indesign SC3"
    set processFolder to choose folder with prompt "Choose a folder that contains Innd Docs to process"
    tell application "Finder"
    if not (exists folder "OUT" of processFolder) then
    make new folder at processFolder with properties {name:"OUT"}
    end if
    set the destination_folder to folder "OUT" of processFolder as alias
    end tell
    tell application "Finder"
    try

    set myBox to text frame 1 of page 1
    set properties of myBox to {locked:false}
    move myBox to {8, 10}
    end tell
    export document 1 format PDF type to (destination_folder as string) & docName & ".pdf" using PDF export preset "[Drukwerkkwaliteit]" without showing options
    close document 1 saving yes
    tell application "Finder" to move thisFile to destination_folder with replacing
    end timeout
    end tell
    end repeat
    end tell
    end
    end
    Any help is greatly appreciated - Doing this manually is a lot of work!!!!!

    You're asking for the name of the application, not the document -- you need<br />to do it after your "tell myDoc".<br /><br />You could also get the name from the alias you open, rather than the open<br />document, something like:<br /><br />repeat with thisFile in listFiles<br />set oldDelims to AppleScript's text item delimiters<br />set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {":"}<br />set docName to text item -1 of (thisFile as Unicode text)<br />set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oldDelims<br /><br />You should also move your "set properties of view preferences" line to after<br />your "tell myDoc".<br /><br />-- <br />Shane Stanley <[email protected]>

  • Export to pdf vs. print to pdf, from InDesign CS3

    We are using Indesign CS3 on Windows XP. We are creating documents for offset printing, with 300dpi photos placed in the document. We are finding that when we "EXPORT" to pdf, and choose a "high quality print", the pdf is fine. However, if we 'print to pdf' and choose "high quality print", the photos in our pdf are more pixellated, and appear to be 150 dpi or lower resolution. Is this a problem with CS3? Does it make any difference how the tiff files have been placed, or sized, in InDesign? Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    In the print dialog, when printing to PDF, under the graphics panel, make sure you change the default value of "Optimized Subsampling" to "all" for the "Send Image Data" field.

  • Will InDesign CS3 export to PDF on it's own?

    I am planning to purchase InDesign CS3 but do not have Adobe Acrobat Pro.  Will I still be able to print or export an InDesign file to pdf without it?  If not can I buy PDF Converter Professional to make this possible?  I am working on a PC.  thank you!

    Indesign has it's own PDF generator so you wouldn't need Acrobat to create a simple PDF.
    If you want to create fillable forms then you will need Acrobat.
    One thing to keep in mind, CS3 is a few versions expired and is not being sold legally anywhere (unless someone is selling their personal copy and hasn't used it to upgrade to a newer version). You'll want to be sure you are getting a ligitimate version.

  • INdesign CS3 suddenly crashes when trying to export pdfs

    I have exported PDF-x1as from Indesign for years with no issues. Suddenly today, indesign crashes when I select EXPORT. I have indesign CS3 on a macbook pro running 10.5.8.
    I work from home, and have to get some pretty huge projects out to the printer, and so I'm getting nervous about this not workling!! I'm trying to remain calm.
    I've restarted indesign with the control, option, and shift keys down, supposedly renewing the prefs. When that didn't work, I reinstalled it from my original disks. Still doing the same thing.
    Please say someone knows a fix!!!

    ok - I've spent countless hours now searching for an answer. I was about to upgrade to snow leopard hoping that would solve this issue, when, buried deep somewhere in these forums, I found the solution that, at least so far, has worked for me! Here it is, in case anyone else is having issues:

  • Export a Indesign(CS3)  Document as PDF(Windows)

    Hi,

    attributes.I dont know proper code.
    Can anybody give the code to implement it.
    Or any reference to find it.
    Thanks,
    Ravi sharma

    Arthur,
    You can't export the document directly to HTML, but you can use the Cross-Media Export to make and XHTML file for Dreamweaver (or other editor). It will generate an HTML page and a blank CSS style sheet, as well as gathering the images, but web and print are entirely different formats so you won't have anything resembling your ID doc when you get through, as far as layout is concerned. If you want people to see your layout as is, you need to use PDF. Try changing the compression settings for the export to bring the size down, but it will be a compromise somewhere most likely.

  • Exporting from InDesign CS3 to PDF: Headers disappearing

    Hello all,
    I have a bit of a problem I can't seem to fix. I looked all over the support forums, documentation, etc., but haven't found anything that resembles this.
    I'm trying to create accessible PDFs in Indesign CS3 (Windows XP). I tagged everything in the document, lined them up correctly in the structure pane, mapped tags to styles, and exported to PDF with tags enabled.
    The problem is the headers (H1, H2, etc.) don't show up in the tags or content windows in the Order Panel (Touchup Reading Order) in Acrobat Pro 8. Instead, they show up with Span tags. Alt text for my images are showing up, which leads me to believe I'm doing something wrong.
    I don't get it. Am I missing a step? Is this just an oversight that CS4 solves?
    Also, InDesign's Structure pane doesn't correspond correctly with Acrobat's Reading Order. It looks to me like the Reading Order is determined by the order in which objects appear in the original InDesign document. Stuff that is sent to the back ends up at the top of the Reading Order in Acrobat. This is a big issue for screen readers.
    Any thoughts? I'm at a loss. I'd rather not retag all my headers in Acrobat.
    thanks
    Kurt

    Even so - I don't know why - but the problem is with some fonts that the Euro doesn't show.
    I always use the Euro font for the Euro symbol and never have an issue.
    Even if you do manage to get the Helvetica Euro to show up in the PDF there is a chance it can drop out at the RIP stage and not appear in print - I've seen it happen far too many times.
    Euro font is your friend.

  • Export InDesign pages in jpeg, then rename the jpeg automatically.

    How to rename separated jpeg files automatically ?
    Exemple of my InDesign document :
    Page 1 :
         Product #26356
    Page 2 :
         Product #920009
    Page 3 :
       Product #910573
    I need to export them in jpeg after for a technical reason. But, how to rename the jpg with the product #, without writing them one by one ?

    I think a script would suit you best.
    You could InDesign apply the Product code via the Text Variables.
    And I think a clever scripter could use that variable to name your jpgs.
    There is the Batch Convert script http://www.kahrel.plus.com/indesign/batch_convert.html
    It's free - and it will convert your InDesign documents to JPEG.
    But there is the additional "Run Script" and I think it might be possible to do it somehow.

  • Is there a way to export data from Framemaker 7.0 to InDesign CS3 for the MAC

    I am asking this question for our Advertising department so I am not too close to the situation. Another company that is part of oujr platform designed their catalogs in Framermaker 7.0. We have Framemaker 6.0. The only reason we have it is to work with this other version of Framemaker 7.0. Our advertising people use InDesign CS3 for the Mac. Right now Advertising gives the person with Framermaker 7.0 changes to be made to their catalog. He exports the file as an IMF file and she pulls it into Framermaker 6.0.
    We tried to upgrade from Framemaker 6.0 to 9.0, but that wasn't possible.
    Ideally we would like to take a 600 page catalog created with Framemaker and convert it to InDesign.
    We would also like to take the files created with Framemaker 7.0 and import them into InDesign.
    Is there a way to do this?
    Thanks in advance.
    dh 

    You can convert FrameMaker MIF (interchange) files to InDesign with the dtptools.com MIF Filter plug-in for InDesign. The plug-in is free, because you have to pay for the pages you convert. The bigger bundle of pages you buy, the lower cost per page.
    dtptools.com also has a really free plug-in for FrameMaker that converts .fm files to .mif, whole directories at a time.
    The converted InDesign files usually look very close to the original FM files, but it's possible to create things in FM that fools the converter, so you'll need to look the conversions over carefully.
    I reviewed MIF Filter in some detail in InDesign Magazine in a late 2007 issue.
    You should be aware that InDesign CS3 is no longer sold, so you can't buy more copies for all your users to be working in the same release. While it's possible to exchange files between ID CS3 and CS4 there are some things that don't convert perfectly, so you'll still have to inspect closely. I believe the most-common issue is text reflow.
    It's not clear if you intend never to go back to using FrameMaker for any of the catalog work, except perhaps for creating original text.
    Without seeing an example of the catalog pages, it's impossible to recommend any useful strategies. You can post a screen shot to this forum by clicking the camera icon in the button bar above the reply entry area. Inserting with the camera puts the picture on the forum very quickly, vs. attaching the picture as a file (it takes hours or days.)
    There may be other strategies for creating your catalog.
