Indesign preview cmyk

Hi There - how can I preview CMYK in my kuler extension in indesign cc2014?

InDesign cc 2014 is currently using the Kuler Flash Panel.  This panel does not allow users to see private themes created by the user.  You can still use your themes in ID by doing one of the below workarounds. 
(1) Download ASE files on kuler.adobe.com: you can download ASE files on Kuler and then import them into ID for preview purposes.
(2) Make your theme public: you can make your themes public and then search for them in the community section of the Kuler Flash panel.  If your theme names are common, you may want to choose a distinct name so they are easier to find.
I hope one of these options will work for you.

  • No InDesign previews

    InDesign previews are not showing. I'm only icon previews. Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    No, it's well behaved now. I grouped and ungrouped with no problems. I dragged on to the page a copy of the type and EPS
    I had put in a library before I got the file fixed, and it still exported properly. And I have edited the text by
    changing its tracking. And again, it's behaving itself.
    All I can put it down to is the amount of fiddling I had to do when setting the type on the path originally to get it
    looking right. Somewhere along the line I guess I caused a corruption that the INX transition removed.

  • Edge Animate Ellipses Changing into Squares in Indesign preview play. What's wrong?

    Edge Animate Ellipses Changing into Squares in Indesign preview play. What's wrong? Previewing on a PC desktop.

    I'm using a OAM file. Placing it as I would an image. In EA, I grouped an ellipse with a text box and then applied the fade on effect to the group. Each fades on as the timeline progresses. I hope that answers your question. let me know if not. I also tried to ungroup the two layers and apply the fade to each individually but it produced the same effect in the content viewer.

  • Batch change shapes in InDesign to CMYK?

    Hi there,
    Is there a way to change batch (600shapes) shapes from RGB to CMYK within InDesign?
    Thanks

    You can also convert all colors both swatches and unnamed colors via a simple script. In AppleScript it would be:
    tell application "Adobe InDesign CC 2014"
        repeat with x in every color of active document
            try
                set space of x to CMYK
            end try
        end repeat
    end tell
    But you can also convert all color to CMYK when you export to PDF, which is the more flexible approach.

  • Can I extract an InDesign preview image?

    Somehow one of my Tiff images that I use in InDesign has been corrupted. PS won't open it (it tells me that it is not a Tiff file), so the only record I have of the image is the preview that InDesign grabbed when I first imported the image. InDesign shows me the image when I go to that page, but when I try to export or print, InDesign tells me it can't find the file.
    This image is not a very important one. It is a simple drawing I made in PS with a few fills and I'm quite happy with the quality that I see in InDesign. So I thought I'd try to export it to PDF and grab the image from within the PDF. Wouldn't export. OK, how about embedding the file and exporting? No go. Print? No.
    That is my problem. Instead of me spending a few hours to redraw the image, given that I'm happy with what I see on screen, can I get the image out of InDesign?

    Sandee, maybe I didn't do what you suggested. Let me use colours to explain what I did. I clicked on the white pointer, clicked on the image and it was surrounded by a brown rectangle, then I copied (or cut) and nothing got copied to the clipboard. I tried images that are OK, and still nothing happened. I am using CS, maybe that's why I can't copy a preview image.
    Do you mean that when you copy an image with the direct selection tool, that you are copying InDesign's stored preview to the clipboard?
    I also tried these:
    1. Copying the image and pasting it back into InDesign CS. That worked, but I couldn't copy the second image to the clipboard.
    2. Cut the image and repasted into InDesign. Again, I wasn't able to copy or cut to the clipboard.
    Maybe trying to paste into Photoshop CS is where the problem lies. I'm going to download a trial version of CS3 to see if that works.

  • Varying black intensity in PDF/InDesign preview - any ideas if harmful?

    Hi guys,
    I am encountering the following oddity in displaying my book as PDF or even inside Indesign.
    The intensity of my Black color is varying on some spreads pretty randomly. Look at the picture below to see what I mean. Notice the difference between the upper and lower part on the left.
    You see, how to the upper part is less black? Of course, since this is a threaded text, the text is exactly the same attribute-wise. There are also no overlaying or overprinting features on top, bottom or whatsoever. Black text on white paper.
    Anyway. So I thought: This looks weird. I checked the color values in Photoshop by importing and rasterizing the respective pages. They seem to match. I did a print test, they seem to match.
    Now the funny part: I thought, this must be an anti-aliasing issue so I made a screenshot from Acrobat and Indesign and what I see is that the text on the pages get anti aliased differently! (right column)
    My question now is:
    Why?
    Where do I set it up to be the same?
    Does it have effects on printing?
    Thanks a lot guys! I am bit worried here, since it happens totally randomly.
    I am on Windows 7 64bit running ID CS5 with all patches.

    Alright, I checked the seperations, all text appears to be on the K channel, nowhere else.
    However, the text appears to get anti aliased with the upper method (subpixel AA) only on layers that contain NO transparency. I checked that with the Flattener Preview and only on pages without transparency I see a difference.
    So what should I do now? Does it affect my printing results? Or should I change the flattener settings? (I would rather not touch that)
    Thanks a lot so far! Happy to hear more.

  • Images: CMYK to RGB in photoshop or just export PDF in Indesign as CMYK?

    Hello again,
    This community has been of great help no end thus far.
    For my booklet, i would say 90% of the layout is images created in Illustrator. What is best practice here for scans or images which have been screen printed or ar basically RGB?
    I am unsure whether it is worthwhile converting images to CMYK in photsohop and then playing with them in Illustrator and then finally placing in Illustrator because of the following:
    Why do this if on "export PDF"  i can use press settings. Would this not convert EVERYTHING in my Indesign booklet to CMYK ready material???
    I'm unsure what to do?
    Best Regards
    Don

    The only reason you might want to convert to CMYK before export is if, and this is the most important factor, you already know the correct output profile for the device on which this will be printed and you will NEVER want to repurpose the art for another device, and if you want to be able to tweak the image and sharpen after conversion.
    If all you were going to do in Photoshop is convert to CMYK, and not do addtional edits after, there is no advantage, at all, to doing that over converting on export from ID.

  • Indesign previews in creative cloud dont show fonts?!?!

    ok.. so surely this is not the way its supposed to happen
    indesign file with a non web font uploaded to creative cloud
    preview gets created with a substituted font.. = design looks rubbish and certainly wouldnt work to show a client as suggested.
    i tried also uploading the font in the hope it would work, but no luck
    any help appreciated : )

    Sorry...thought this was a DPS question.
    Creative Cloud hasn't been officially released. If you're a beta tester please ask this question in the prerelease area.

  • Indesign Preview Issues

    Has anyone had a similar problem to the one we are encountering.
    We use a pdf workflow and we export to press pdf directly from the book feature in InDesign CS6. The export seems to go through with no issues, however after the export is complete, InDesign then attempts to generate a preview which can then take up to 30 - 40 minutes to process.
    I'm aware of the preview preferences within InDesign, however when we were on CS5 this didn't happen. I am trying to find out whether this is peculiar to the CS6 version & if so is there a workaround without turning off the preview preference?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Is this box checked?
    If so, try unchecking it.

  • Show InDesign preview as spread in Bridge

    We recently upgraded to CS5. In CS3, Bridge showed the start spread for InDesign documents as previews, but in CS5 only the first page of a document shows up. For editorial work it is much better to see both pages. Is there any way to get Bridge to show the full start spread again?

    Only the number of pages to preview and their size can be set in the InDesign-preferences, as far as I can see.
    To be a bit clearer: I want is to see both pages of the opening document spread together in Bridge. This used to be the case in CS3.

  • Zoom in to indesign preview in creative cloud

    am i missing the zoom buttons?
    how will i be able to show a client a preview on creative cloud, and get them to comment without them being able to read the text?
    if i upload an indesign page layout, and share it with someone, they cant read small text without downloading the document (thus requiring indesign) is this correct?

    Hi Dave!
    I am a Webdesigner and would love to show clients a full rez crisp view of there sites. The canvas is generally very large for GUI mockups. A 100% zoom would be soooo helpful. In fact I cant currently show my designs through creative cloud for this reason. I totally agree with aurelien-foutoyet This would be an amaizing feature for web and typography designers.
    Thanks,

  • Extract indesign preview

    Is it possible to get/extract the preview file saved in Indesign documents by scripting?
    We are exporting a JPG file of every document, but for large format documents / complex documents til is a slow process. So i thought, perhaps it is possible to use the file that indesign saves ("Preferences -> File handling")?
    Any ideas?

    JavaScript implementations of Base64 decoders can be found on the web. Below is a script that uses Thomas's method to retrieve the thumbnail from the active document and a script I found (and slightly adapted) on Stephen Ostermiller's site (Google's first hit using "base64 decoder javascript").

  • Why are some InDesign previews large and others small?

    I seem to save the individual files out (they are the same physical dimensions) yet some have large previews in Bridge and others have small previews in Bridge. Any ideas? Thanks!

    It seems to be connected to whether or not you saved Preview images when you originally saved the files.
    Re-opening and re-saving in CS4 should solve the problem.

  • Black (K = 100) text in InDesign being reported as CMYK in Acrobat

    These are the settings in my InDesign documents:
    CMYK working color space: US Sheetfed Uncoated v2
    Preserve embedded profiles
    Text set to K = 100
    When I exported to PDF, these were the settings under Output > Color:
    No color conversion
    Include all profiles
    I opened the document in Acrobat and went to Advanced > Output Preview to make sure that what was supposed to be grayscale was grayscale. When I ran the pointer over the text, it came up in CMYK values and not K = 100. That was a surprise. When I changed the SIMULATION PROFILE in the OUTPUT PREVIEW window to US Sheetfed Uncoated v2 (the same profile as in InDesign) the text was listed as K = 100. I assumed the reading being given was actually the color numbers, not 'mapped' color numbers i.e. the color numbers if they were converted to the new space.
    Anyway, it was obvious I wasn't on top of this, so I went to ADVANCED > PREFLIGHT >LIST ALL NON BW OBJECTS to check what was BW and what was not. Up came several hundred items, including every font in the document.
    I could force the text to BW, but I had to go back to InDesign and change the settings (Output > Color) to:
    No color conversion
    i Don't include profiles
    Aha! When I repeated the above tests in Acrobat, no matter what simulation profile I chose, text was always shown as K = 100. A list of all non-BW objects listed only color images -- just what I wanted.
    I need a few hints on why this occurred.
    QUES: Why should including a colour profile when exporting from InDesign cause K = 100 to map to CMYK? Surely the color numbers going to Acrobat are unaltered out of InDesign (i.e. K = 100 is sent as K = 100) so Acrobat must be changing them. InDesign says of "No Color Conversion": "Uses existing color numbers and doesn't convert them". So why does Acrobat report them as changed?

    Guy,
    You only need to include a profile if you need to convert to another CMYK space when the PDF is outputa typical case for including profiles would be one where you don't really know what the print destination is and your CMYK values might need to be reconverted at output. If you don't want additional CMYK conversions (you know the correct destination is US Sheefed) then export as PDFX/1-a, that preset includes an intent but not a profile and your black will not get converted.
    Unwanted color conversions indicate that there are conflicting profiles somewhere.

  • Problem with cmyk transparency blending in Indesign cs6

    Hello everyone! Please give me someone an information about this issue...
    All i have in indesign is cmyk color space in all contents, i have set up the transparency blending option to CMYK (edit > transparency blending > cmyk) but when i set the gradient feather on image 1 i have very bad result the transparency is greyscaled not transparent.
    I try everything but nothin works for me, please help me somebody.
    example 1 show the bad result in cmyk blending transparency
    example 2 show the better result with rgb blending transparency with cmyk contents !!!
    why i can not set the cmyk transparency blending option? because i have bad result and i do not uderstand that

    please explain me the difference in this proces because i do not understand that...
    The effect of transparency changes depending on the color mode, that's why you get this warning when you try to change color modes in Photoshop when there is transparency:
    I can replicate your problem in Photoshop by layering transparent black on an RGB and CMYK version of the same image (Here are the 2 example files—http://www.zenodesign.com/forum/TransExample.zip) :
    InDesign makes things even more complex because you can have different transparent color modes on the same page and you can choose different blending spaces. If color is important I take the extra time to create transparency in a Photoshop RGB file where there's more color contol and I can see the affect of a CMYK conversion and flattening.
