Maintaining resolutions when placing embedded files

Hi,
I am just getting the hang of placing embedded files into my documents and the issue I am having is when I place an embedded psd into another document it seems to shrink it down and lose it's sharpness. Why is this and how do I fix it?
Thank You!

If your images are different resolutions they will appear as different sizes. Please post screen captures of your problem.

Disappering cursor when placing multiple file in Indesign.

When placing multiple file (jpeg, tiff's, pdf files,etc.) in a indesign document, my cursor disappears. If you can get to the desktop and click on it, it will come back.
first started in Indesign CC 2014, Any fix for this?
Thanks, Dennis

Hi,
This is an expected behavior, when you place an image in InDesign then it display the preview of the image however you this has no impact on the output unless the image placed is of low-resolution itself.
In order to have good resolution of images, you may switch to View > Display Performance > High Quality.
Thanks,

Colour shift when placing PSD files into illustrator

Hi there
I have tested this issue on CS 3,4 and 5.
bascially if I create a CMYK document with a colour image and save this down as a psd file with the coated Fogra 39 embedded in it. If I create a new file within Illustrator with the same colur management and place the psd file into the document and check the link option (so it is a linked file), the colour shifts when using the colour picker. If I print the document from each APP they visually look different as well.
If I place the psd into illustrator without selecting the link option the colour has the same CMYK values as the psd within Photoshop and also prints correctly.
i can only assume that there is an option somewhere in regards to the "link" option and how this changes tha colour values somewhere? If not is there anyway I can get around this issue so I can use linked files without the CMYK values changing?
Thanks in advance
Paul

Hi guys
Thanks for the responses.
I use bridge to blanket the colour settings so this i feel this is not the issue here. If you have a moment and would kindly create a colour tint within PS of what ever colour, save this down as any format and place this into illustrator with the link checkbox checked you will see the colour data has physically changed for the CMYK values. This results in the prints looking different as well. If you deselct the link check box when placing the file the CMYK values are the same.
I tried the overprint preview option. This changes the viewable colour on screen but not the CMYK data of the file.
There seems to be a fundamental floor with this link option for some reason.
I might have phone Adobe direct for this iisue as I cannot find a fix for this.
Many thanks
Paul

Indesign pain when placing vector files

Hi All,
I need some help!!
I'm working on a fairly large catalogue where there is 300+ vector files placed into the Indesign document. As I place more I'm finding Indesign just get slower and slower. GRRRR!!!!! Even when I copy and past an image I have to wait. I'm sick of seeing that bloody beach ball.
I'm running CS5.
Am I doing something wrong? Is it just a case of Indesign not being able to handle that many .ai files???
PLEASE HELP. Because it's doing my head in!
umit.

Well I'd stop copy and pasting illustrator into inDesign straight away. That can introduce problems. I'm not a fan of that workflow, others are, but I don't recommend it.
Placing the files is the preferred method
==========================================================
What version of InDesign are you using?
If it's CS5 or later go to Preferences> Interface and change the Live Screen Drawing to Delayed
See if that helps
==========================================================
Also go to View>Display settings and choose "Typical".
==========================================================
File size might be causing slowness issues due to overhead in the indesign file.
Try doing a File>Save As and save it as a new file name.
==========================================================
If that doesn't fix it then I'd try
File>Export>InDesign Markup Language (IDML)
When you open that exported file in INdesign it will open as Untitled
That might speed up the flow
==========================================================

ID CS6 shows low resolution on placed AI file.

I placed an AI, full vector, file into ID. Didn't see any problems until I ran preflight and it popped up with a low resolution warning. The vector is scaled down inside ID, but still shows a 90 ppi. I couldn't find any placed images in the AI file, which is a very busy kid's logo (below). I tried googling the situation but haven't found any solutions. Anyone know what's going on or how to fix this?

Solved this problem. It seems like some of the gradients are actually embedded images. Why someone would do that is beyond me. Now to just replace all the images with actual gradient.

How do I maintain resolution when printing to PDF?

I'm printing an edited file, 36" X 24", to a PDF document. When I do, the resolution of the original document is severly degraded.
I've tried changing page sizes, fooling with teh driver, etc, all to no avail. Using Acrobat X Standard.
Am I missing something obvious?

It seems you consider the 36" x 24" as the resolution, but it's the dimensions.
The resolution only applies to anything that is bitmap, making it look better or worse, depending on the resolution setting.
But if you set the paper size to 36" x 24", you'll get a PDF with that dimensions and a variable resolution. It depends on where the PDF is used. For screen, 150dpi is usually sufficient. For images, there is an additional quality setting. For printing, 300dpi or higher is rec'd. Resolution can be set in the PDF printer properties.

How to set jpeg resolution when saving pdf file as jpeg

I'm running Acrobat using interprocess api, I can invoke a script to save a pdf file as JPEG, but I need to be able to set the resolution of the saved jpeg file.
Any clues as to how I can do that ?

Hi
I am running a stand-alone version of Framemaket 10.I try to convert a documentation with a lot of screenshots in it. Regardless of the settings on the Reference pages of the first document of the book, Framemaker converts all graphic files to *.gif, and these are downsized so much that they become illegible. I would like to have them converted to JPG, with little resolution loss, so they are still readable.
I think Robohelp is too expensive…

Hi shams.hq,
I don't understand how you bother to copy an application in your server directories. It's really piece of cake to deploy with Tomcat.
All you have to do :
- with Netbeans, you build the project : a WAR file will be created in the dist directory of your project;
- launch the server, if it's not running;
- with your web browser, connect to the Tomcat Manager;
- from there, you may upload and deploy the WAR file of your project.
Et voilà ! Tomcat will unzip the WAR and install your classes and libraries at the right place.

Formating fonts when placing excel files.

I need some help. I am creating a catalouge for my business and we use a "proprietary font". We are using an excel spread sheet to link our data to the ID file, as our prices change a couple of times a year and I don't want to keep having to change the cataloge one line at a time. When I place the excel file and change the font and do the set up all is good. It is only when I change a price in the excel file and update the ID (cs5) file that ID changes my font to Times New Roman. Is there a way to have ID keep the font formating so I don't have to change the font everything every time I update the excel file?
Thanks
David

Thanks Bob.. I knew someone would know this. Though I felt silly asking the question in the first place. I do love forums.

Inconsistent behavior when placing a file in a transformed frame

I've been playing around with the sample plug-in SnippetRunner's SnpPlaceFile::PlaceViaHelper() method to allow it to place a file inside a frame. If a frame is selected, I compute boundsInParentCoords as follows: InterfacePtr<IGeometry> itemGeometry(selectedItemRef, UseDefaultIID()); boundsInParentCoords = itemGeometry->GetPathBoundingBox(); and in the call to layoutHelper.PlaceFileInFrame(), I use the frame's UIDRef (selectedItemRef) as the parentUIDRef but I get the database for the importFileCmdData->Set() method using the active layer UIDRef. This works fine, unless the frame has been transformed before I do the place, in which case it works in some cases and not in others. Specifically, it works for Scale, Rotate, Horizontal Shear, and Horizontal Flip, but it doesn't work (i.e., the image is placed at the wrong location) for Translate, Vertical Shear, and Vertical Flip. Can anyone explain why this works in some cases and not in others? Is there something else I'm suposed to be doing? Or maybe I'm going about this all wrong. In either case, I need help. Thanks. Bob

Mail 6.0 bug when placing EPS file

When composing an email, I've always dragged .EPS files into the compose message window, and had the window render a preview of the .EPS file.
Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, the file doesn't preview, and the window freezes. I'm unable to continue typing or edit type.
The present workaround I've discovered is to Close (Command-W) the window, choose "Save", and then open up the saved composition from the Drafts folder. The .EPS then previews as expected, and the email can be further edited and sent.
Another bug I'm experiencing is the lost ability to drag image files out of received emails onto the desktop or Finder windows. I'm having to use the Save drop-down option to save out attached files.
Is anyone else experiencing these bugs, or know of a proper fix? I really hope Apple addresses this with a patch soon...

I am having the same problem, both with attaching .eps files and drag and dropping. Both things worked fine with Lion but not with Mountain Lion.
I called Abobe as it happens with Illustrator files and they say it is an Apple thing. The senior tech at Apple I spoke to for over and hour didn't know why it was happening.
I am also having trouble with pdf files looking black in the open preview and looking black when attached to emails. If I drag them to my desktop and open them they display full color, however mailing them looking black to a client is not an option.

How to get poster image (from_movie) when placing SWF file with JS?

I am able to place the poster from movie (flv) file. SWF files seems to belong to Movie class. I can place the generic posters (standard, none and proxy_image), but not "FROM_MOVIE".
I am getting the following error message:
"Error 81926" "The poster image could not be changed to the requested image".
I will attach my code (sligtly modified from the sample "placeMOVIE" which is coming with CS5) containing also code for other property settings to be tested.
Hoping to find a good solution for this, thanks in advance!

You can put the poster for SWF using UI Media panel as shown here. So does this mean that there is a bug in a scripting environment?

File size or resolution when exporting to PDF file.

Post Author: Esio Nunes
CA Forum: Deployment
Hello,
I'm using the following code to export my reports to PDF format, by an ASP.NET page:
CType(crReportClientDoc, CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ClientDoc.ReportClientDocument).PrintOutputController.Export(CrReportExportFormatEnum.crReportExportFormatPDF)
But I need to produce files with sizes lower than now. Making some tests in Adobe, I note if I reduce the pdf resolution, the files became with a reduced size. Does anyone know if is it possible to configure the resolution when generating PDF files by Crystal? I looked to ExportEx method and PDFExportFormatOptionsClass, but I didn't find any about it.
Thanks to all
Ésio

Nope. Crystal uses an old version of pdf (1.x I believe) for backward compatibility reasons.
There is no way to reduce the size of the pdf that you export other than changing what is on the report itself.

Placed PSD file has Jagged Edge

Products:
PS CC
AI CC
I have a 2500 x 4088 px PSD file with no jagged edges, until it is placed into Illustrator.
I believe that I have placed the PSD file in its original size, but may be wrong. My artboard was created to be larger than the original image, and when placing the file I simply clicked on the artboard.
I have not knowingly increased or reduced the dimensions of the placed file.
Will the jagged edge be present if I place the AI file into InDesign?
Is there a setting somewhere that I need to change to remove the jagged edge?
Thanks

Hi John, thank you.
I verified that the anti-alias box was checked, and it was. I usually do not print, so your suggestion was well taken. When the document printed, the lines were as smooth as I expected them to be.
A few days ago when troubleshooting my Windows 8 system, it recommeneded that I perform a Refresh -- so I did. It notified me that it would keep all files and I thought nothing more of it, but learned that the refresh deletes all installed programs. I had to reinstall all Adobe products (among others).
After the re-install I created the attached image. There was a version of the same size that I created before the refresh, and when I placed that image into Illustrator, it appeared smooth with no jagged images.
I don't know why the jagged edges are present on the screen, but ultimately it's the print version that matters (save as to web produced smooth edges, too).
Thank you for your response, it was very helpful.

Placed .ai files becomes transparent on PDF??

Hi fellow InDesign users,
I have a problem with my CS3 InDesign (fully upgraded/updated) and CS3 Illustrator (also fully upgraded/updated)
I have an Illustrator file which I would like to place in my layout. The artwork is completely white (C=0, M=0, Y=0, K=0) and is shown correctly when I preview my layout in InDesign, however when I export it to PDF and try to print the file, it disappears from the layout leaving everything else to print normally.
I can print just fine directly from Illustrator, I can also export my art as a PDF from Illustrator and print it correct.
I can also have other white (C=0, M=0, Y=0, K=0) elements and text on the same layout and they will print fine as well.
The only thing not working is the thing I need :( a way to print my placed (C=0, M=0, Y=0, K=0) Illustrator file.
I have tried to look at my PDF export options and also my import options when placing the file and I can't figure out why it won't print.
Please help!

Can you see the file when you preview in InDesign with preview overprint?
If you have set this file, which isn't white but blank (0000), to
overprint then it will be leaving the background instead of knocking it out.
