Jpeg Help on Indesign 2.0 (yes, 2.0)

Hi,
looking for help on Indesign 2.0. They haven't updated in a while at work (or ever updated really), but I am trying to see if there is a way to save an indesign document as a JPEG file. I know it is possible with newer versions, but it doesn't seem to be an option available when I go to "Save As" or "Export". Any ideas? Thanks.

Which is why I mentioned the Acrobat export as an alternative... not the only/best way.
For a single page or a few pages worth of conversions, or instances where I want the highest quality, I do use Photoshop.
But, if I am asked for multiple pages and the highest quality is not an issue (conversion to a series of small thumbnails for instance), I prefer to export from Acrobat. Automatically sequential numbering of the files is a good thing, IMO.

I need help with Indesign.

I am working on a book project using Indesign 1.5. I have got a new computer. Installation of the Indesign software was problem free but when i open my book project i have a problem that i can not figure out.
When i put the marker in the middel of a text and pressing the enter tab, to move it down a line, the text after the marker disappear and a red + showing at the bottom of the text box.
I will appresiate it a lot if anyone can give me help with this set up problem!

Try pressing the primary Enter key to the right of the Home Row, not the Enter key in the number pad. If that doesn’t work, look at your paragraph spacing options wherever the paragraph formatting is in that version. Space Above or Space Below might be set too high.
In the future, please both use a more appropriate subject line and provide your platform. This forum is for people needing help with InDesign, so “I need help with Indesign” is just as helpful as leaving the subject line blank. We’re here to help you.

I need help installing InDesign CS6 upgrade

I need help installing InDesign CS6 upgrade because on this new computer I cannot install the version that it was upgraded from.

Stevel18 you can install the upgrade to Creative Suite 6 directly. During the installation process you will be asked to enter the serial number of the product which qualifies you to own the upgrade.

Can you help with InDesign CS5 index problem?

   This is my first attept at creating an Index. I've pretty much tried everything I can think of to get this index to work properly. I think I might have made some fundamental errors in creating this document. I created a document and not a book. I placed 5 text files without linking them. I thought I could simply use the index panel and enter my words from the toc and front matter and InDesign would find all the occurences in the document. But when I ran the index I got the toc pg numbers and the index pg numbers only, i.e., Illumination vi-225 (p225 being the index pg). So far I have:
reentered all the index entries to using the "whole document" because I had originally chose "This page" for each entry - that didn't work
then I threaded the 5 text files thinking that might work - nope!
then I saved the file as a book and tried using that - that didn't work.
   And yes, I have searched the Adobe CS5 help books, videos, online sites, etc. I'm hoping it's something simple! I would truly appreciate any help with this. Thank you!

You don't have any Shape layers, so you won't have any fill or stroke options. If you had a rectangle and line layer, you have either deleted them, or caused them to be rasterized. That would also remove any Fill and Stroke options from the Options bar.
The 'little camera' at the bottom of the Tool bar, is the Quick mask icon. Clicking on it toggles between standard and Quick mask modes, like you said. Clicking on it is exactly the same as hitting the q key. It has absolutely nothing to do with Shape layers.
What you need to do now, is regroup. What exactly are you trying to achieve, and what do you expect to see in your Workspace? You will have noticed that your workspace is context sensitive. It automatically changes according to what tools are selected, or what function you are using at any particular time.

Newbie question: saving jpeg files in indesign document

hi there,
i'm rather new to indesign and i can't get this thing to work:
whenever i place a jpeg image (or for that matter, any other image format) into an indesign document and later move
the jpeg file to a different location on my harddrive and then reopen the indesign file, the image is all pixeled. it seems like the image
isn't saved inside the .indesign file, but is more of a referal to the file on my hard disk.
is it possible to embed external files (like jpeg) into the actual indesign document and save them within this document?
i'd be gracious for any help.

Grant's answers are correct. You SHOULD use linked images and you should update them on the Links panel.
There are specialized reasons it might be necessary to embed an image, but in general it's not a good idea: (1) It makes the files unnecessarily large, (2) if you make changes in the image, it can be updated in the InDesign file.

Help! InDesign file to HTML for email

Yes, I know, I do everything with InDesign and have successfully for years. When I had to design an email blast, I designed it in InDesign, and sent it to a company to convert it to html for me, and then they sent it out with our list as a blast.
My new company, does everything internally, and wants me to do a email blast, and they're real cheap on sending anything to a vendor for help. I don't work at all in DreamWeaver, and know nothing about html.
Is there any 'easy' way to take a document in Indesign and get it into html, or something suitable for an email blast????? Or save it in such a way, it can be brought into Constant Contact????? Arghhhhhhh......

The best advice I can give you is to use Constant Contacts free HTML email templates: http://www.constantcontact.com/email-marketing/html-email-templates/index.jsp
These templates are easy enough to edit and have a foundation already set for email clients. Typically they will be constructed in tables with inline CSS. Constant Contact also have basic templates without any design: http://www.constantcontact.com/email-marketing/html-email-templates/basic.jsp
Using InDesign for this job is really not the way to go. In fact, using any graphic application other than an HTML editor is only going to give you a headache. If this is going to become a regular thing in your job, start learning HTML and make your life that little bit easier. There are a vast amount of resources available online to help you get the basics down.
@2. timm.hughes, don't even go down that road!

Hotfixes are special, out-of-band patches created to fix specific problems, so they are never published to Windows Update. Often the hotfix gets incorporated into a released patch that is published on Windows Update. If this hotfix was incorporated
into a released patch, and you applied that patch to your system, the hotfix would see that its files are older than the latest files on the system and would give you this message. Because the hotfix is not for general distribution, there is rarely documentation
saying that it has been superceded.
Generally there is a file list with a hotfix/patch that gives you the version number of the affected files. You can go through those files to see that you have the latest files. The problem is finding the actual patch that updated those files.
Without going through lots of patches, it is hard to find which patch made the hotfix obsolete.

Help with InDesign and using MacBook Pro with 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2GB

Have a Mac Book Pro running 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2GB RAM is there anyway to use InDesign and if so what version would run on this machine and would I still be able to interface with a printer to produce a magazine? Or is it possible to upgrade/gut this machine for a new processor and RAM, if that is even possible, and could I then run a CS program say 5.5?

Thanks for all the help - it is confusing though. I tried to download the trial version of CS5.5 to explore before buying the student version and the program download froze. I have deleted the doadload assistant and spoke with Adobe who told me my machine would not be compatible unless I upgraded - maybe the RAM to 4GB.
You got bad (wrong) advice.
If the download didn't work, it has nothing to do with the performance characteristics of your machine. You could download CS5.5 on a low-end PC from 10 years ago, it doesn't take much.
Unfortunately Adobe's download manager is a bit flakey. Best advice is to use Firefox and try the download again.
It doesn't have anything to do with the power of your computer, be it speed, processor type, or RAM.
Make sure you're using FIrefox (if not, download and install it first), and then try the download again.
Also, the download manager depends on Java. Make sure you have Java installed (but I think you must, because otherwise the download would not have started?).
If it still doesn't work, give us some more detail. Error message? Screenshot?

Help with InDesign spread previews in Bridge CS6

Our company is updating to CS6 and needs to be able to view InDesign files as spreads as we did in CS3. We produce many catalogs a year and each spread is a separate file. We use Bridge (CS3) to view the entire catalog at once. Now, with CS6, we can only see one page of the document, even though the preference is set to 2 pages in InDesign. We need an update. Please help!

I don't believe so. It's how Bridge displays InDesign files. In CS6, it's showing a single page and not the full spread that it used to. There is a preferance in Indesign that you can set the size and number of pages to preview. It's set to 2, which is the default.
This is a critical feature that needs to be restored. The link for the feature Request is not working, nor is the reporting a bug link.
After reading someone's comment, it appears that InDesign does not write the appropriate meta data for bridge to preview the spread, so perhaps it is an InDesign issue. Nevertheless, it has not been fixed since 2011!
How can I get through to Adobe???

Need help with InDesign interactive PDF

Ive created an interactive pdf through InDesign Digital Publishing. When I preview it in the folio builder everything is working the way I set it up. But when I publish and go to adobe's Digital Publishing to view it, only a few pages will show. I tried sharing it with another and they can only view two of the 10 pages. And the 2 pages they see do not work well. I was in CS6 and am upgrading to Cloud hoping that might help? Any ideas of what im doing wrong?

This is my first file I have built in InDesign's Digital Publishing Layout. I built it as an iPad format horizontal and vertical layouts in one file. I added it as an article to one folio (first as pdf and also tried automatic). I created it with buttons, some basic animation (images that fade from one to another). Pretty basic stuff. When I go to view it in the folio builder or folio layers it is fine. When I click on folio producer it sends me to: https://digitalpublishing.acrobat.com/app.html#x=folioproducer to view the "content" which isn't all there. And that is what is seen on the iPad. Does that make sense? I new to this and obviously doing something wrong. Thanks for any advice to get this to work.

Help! InDesign interactive PDF buttons not working in Safari or on iPad

I made an infographic in Indesign for our university magazine with a QR code to link to an interactive pdf. Nothing too complicated animation wise, simply buttons that you can click on to view different parts of the graphic. However, the buttons are not working at all in Safari and on the iPhone and iPad, the buttons disapear completley. Please help.
http://bit.ly/yrTN4R?r=qr
Thanks,
Gretchen

Whether buttons work correctly in a PDF file depend entirely on what PDF reader you're using. Here are a couple of important facts:
* While corrected created interactive PDFs will display correctly in the FREE Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat, they probably won't display correctly in Apple's Preview application which is probably what you're viewing in Safari.
* None of the PDF readers currently available on an iPad (e.g., iBooks, GoodReader, etc.) correctly handle interactivity like buttons on an iPad.

Extract embedded png and jpeg files from InDesign, or do I even need to for 4/C printing?

I am creating a catalog, both as a pdf for nxtBooks (online) and they want to use the same files for printing. I don't know if it's digital or, if that would even matter. I was given and old document to pull some information and images from. Some of those images appear to be embedded into their old ID document. This is not something I have ever done, but I'm old school. To make it even better, these images are old screen shots, and no one kept the originals. They appear to be scaled down in their document, so doesn't that mean there is a larger file hiding somewhere?
On the other hand, is this necessary? I know it will be OK for online viewing, but what will happen when I create a press quality pdf? Will this cause problems for the printer?
And while I'm at it, are printers OK with linking jpegs rather than psd or tiff files? I know the color would be more accurate if I converted, but this client doesn't particularly care about exact color matching.
Thank You!

But the image does not connect to anything in the links palette. It is showing up as if it were a jpeg, png or tiff, but it sure isn't acting like it. So strange.
Pasted images don't show in the links panel. If you export the page as a PDF/X-4 and look at the image via Output Preview>Object Inspector you'll get its effective resolution, pixel dimension, and color info. Recent versions of InDesign are capable of maintaining full resolution and color properties of pasted images.

Help with indesign epub not appearing correctly on ipad

Can someone please tell me why my epub does not appear correctly when viewed on my ipad? It seems to push like a quarter of my full page image onto the next page. I don't want it to do this! I want it to looks like it does in ibooks on my mac.
See the links to below images that show how it looks on indesign, ibooks and ipad.
