Migrating text formatting from InDesign CC to Flash CC

Since TLF is no longer supported in Flash CC, does that mean that maintaining the integrity of the type from an InDesign layout to Flash is no longer possible? Is there a possible work around?
I'm designing content for interactive labels for a museum exhibit in InDesign and having trouble migrating the text formatting to the interactive programmer who is using Flash. We tried all the options in the export to FLA dialoge and each time the text either turns out wonky or gets rasterized. The text needs to remain editable, so the rasterization will not do.
I know a little bit about Flash, so I can possibily go into her file and make adjustments as needed without having to hang over her shoulder as she makes the edits. Is it possible to use the Creative Cloud Files section for collaboration like is possible in Google Docs, where the changes are live and there is no need for mutiple files.

I've noticed that if you export as TLF and let FlashCC make the conversion back to classic the results are a bit better—at least multiline text doesn't get chopped up. I think you will have to make adjustments in Flash. You want to avoid justified text because there's no hyphenation. Flash doesn't have any justification preferences, so you have to avoid subtle typography.
Is it possible to use the Creative Cloud Files section
You should be able to if the programmer has a CC subscription, or you could do it with DropBox.

Maintaining Text Formatting from Indesign CS4 to Illustrator CS4

Hey folks,
I'm trying to transfer copy a section of text with bullets from InDesign CS4 back into Illustrator CS4. When I copy it over to Illustrator, I lose my bullets. I know I could do this in CS3 and maintain the bullets, but the approach I used in CS3 doesn't work for CS4.
Anyone know how to pull this off without me having to go into Illustrator and kluge together some bullets from scratch?
Thanks!
-Dusty.

Thanks for the response Bob.
How do I convert my Indesign bullets to text, or are you saying I need to create them as Wingdings or somesuch and not as actual bullets?
The bullets are the main issue, but my formatted text isn't transferring either. The text I paste from Indesign to Illustrator removes the formatting I had in Indesign (e.g., font-family, size, etc.)
Thanks,
-Dusty.

How to strip text formatting from text field value ??

Hi everyone,
Have tried to get some info on this but no luck.... I've
created a simple contact form in Flash, but the URL which it's
generating contains the text formatting from the text input fields.
As a result the script that processes the mail send doesn't work.
How do I strip the text formatting out of text1, text2 and text3
before I use getURL() ??
on (release) {
url_var =
"your_name="+text1+"&your_e-mail="+text2+"&message="+text3;
getURL("contact.php?"+url_var, "_blank", "GET");
text1 = "";
text2 = "";
text3 = "";
}

text1.text = "";
text2.text = "";
text3.text = "";
…that should strip the textfields. You probably also
want to add this property (text) in the getURL()

Crystal report : Export to Text format from BI Launch pad

Hi,
We are facing issue in exporting the Crystal report to text format option from BI Launch pad view mode. Currently BI launch pad doesn’t support export to Text format option for crystal report in view mode. But export to text format option is feasible in schedule mode. But customer is not interested in exporting the reports through schedule mode.
Please advise, if we have any alternative way of exporting the crystal report to text format option from BI Launch pad.
Thanks,

Export to ePub from InDesign

I read at http://www.adobe.com/products/indesign/epub/howto/ that it is possible to export to ePub format from InDesign CS4. Is it also possible to export to ePub format from InDesign 2.0? I have a pdf and a Word document that I want to export to ePub format. But I can't get either one of them to open in InDesign. Would this problem be solved if I upgraded to InDesign CS4? Is there another way to make my PDF or Word document into an ePub by using InDesign 2.0 without upgrading?
Thank you.

Liz Castro’s Kindle book is not available in my region; it’s blocked by Amazon.
As for InDesign 2.0, it generally works for what I need, and when it doesn’t do something that I need, I am told that InDesign CS5 doesn’t do it either. So for the time being, I see no compelling reason to spend the $700 on the upgrade.
By the way, I am also told by a colleague who knows InDesign well that while a Word document cannot be opened in InDesign 2.0, it can be “imported” by following the following steps:
-          Create a new InDesign (.indd) file that corresponds to the number of pages, page size, and page margins of the Word document.
-          Place the Word document on the page. This creates a textbox with the contents of the document in it.
-          You may want to adjust the size of the text box to suit the margins.
-          Go to the bottom right corner of the highlighted textbox and click on the plus signal.
-          Place your mouse on the next page of the InDesign (.indd) file and click. This creates another textbox with the continuation of the text from the previous page.
-          Do this consecutively on the rest of the pages and all of the text from the Word document will be imported.
-          Sometimes, the formatting in the .indd file does not exactly match that of the .doc file, particularly for page breaks, tables of contents, indexes, and other front and back matter.
She says that some publishers use this technique, but it is more common to “link” an InDesign file to a text document that contains the text that is to be published. In this way, new editions of a book can easily be generated by simply updating the InDesign file to the source file when the text in the source file has changed.
On another note, if anyone can suggest a good program that can easily convert Word documents or PDFs to ePub files, I’d greatly appreciate the recommendation. I have read about Stanza Desktop and Calibre, both of which can supposedly convert both Word and pdf files to ePub format. There are others well, such as Web-Books.com, which can also supposedly convert .doc files into ePubs. The web site http://selfpublishingadventure.com/converting-word-files-to-epub-files/ recommends eCub and ePubGen, the ePub converter from Google, but the former doesn’t handle Word documents and the author of that web page said that ePubGen inserted arbitrary page breaks.
I’d like a program that can convert Word or pdf files while preserving as much as the formatting (particularly headings, styles, fonts, page breaks, page numbering, and embedded images) as possible without requiring a lot of manual revision. Suggestions/recommendations are welcome.
Regards,
JMT

Exporting to .pdf from InDesign CS5

Probably a real simple question to answer, but I'm stumped. I'm trying to export a 6 page newsletter to a .pdf format from InDesign CS5; it comes out as a 4 page document with the following orientation: The first page is fine (vertical on letter size), the 2nd & 3rd pages show up side by side (horz./letter) as does pages 4 & 5. The 6th page again is fine (vertical/letter). I never had this issue with CS4... Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, Wharton

Hi Tom,
I looked up the Spreads option in InDesign help to see what you were referring to... I see most of the options described, but the Spreads option doesn't appear to available in the "Export to Interactive PDF" pop-up box.
The options I've chosen are: Pages-All; View after Exporting; Embed Page Thumbnails; View-Default; Layout/Single Page; Presentation-Open in full screen Mode; Page transitions-None; Buttons and Media-Include all... I don't believe that the Image Handling section would be the issue, but I chose, JPEG (Lossy), Maximum quality and a resolution of 300.
Thanks

Unable to add special characters such as # and ( in headers of Report in Text format

Hi,
I am working on developing a report that will be exported to tab delimited text format from SSRS. The Report has been developed and it is getting exported to tab delimited text format. However, special characters in the heading are getting trimmed. I would
like to get these special characters in the heading of text file. Any help in this regard will be appreciated.

Hi Abhijit,
Per my understanding that you have add an extension which export the report as .txt format, now the issue is the special characters"#" not display after exportted, right?
I have tested on my local environment and can reproduce the issue , this is by default, when you type some special characters "#" as the textbox name in the properties window or as calculatted field name you will get error pop up window,
if you type the text in the textbox as "#" it will also not display in the CSV or tab delimited text format report.
But we have some alternative method to make them display some way, more details information below for your reference:
Display "#" in the table header
If we want to make them display in the table header, we need to create an new table an put all the table header as one record in the table, because the value in the table can display "#" correctly：
I assumed you have four columns as the table header(Test1#,Test2#,Test3#,Test4#) please create an new table (HeaderTable )to store these value:
Create two dataset2:
Dataset1: display the record from step1
DataSet2：display the record of the report
Create two Tablixs as below and both remove the header column, Tablix1(Dataset1) diplay the value comes from the step1 as the new header column:
Tablix1(Dataset2):Report Data
In this way, when export to tab delimited txt, you will got the table header display correctly.
Display "#" in the textbox outisde of the tablix
If you just want to display "#" outside the tablix, you can just add an calculatted field(Test) and use expression like below to specify the value which you want to display in the calculatted field:
="test######test"
Then you can use below expression in the textbox:
=first(Fields!Test.Value, "DataSetName")
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

CS3 & Leopard - can't copy/paste from InDesign Illustrator?

I have just loaded Leopard and then CS3 onto my new MacBook Pro and then upgraded my existing iMac with another Leopard and the same CS3. Neither machine will allow me to copy/paste images or text boxes from InDesign > Illustrator - It appears to try to (shows the working color wheel - then nothing happens) It will allow me to select/copy the text WITHIN a text frame but will paste text only - not attributes????? I can copy /paste Illustrator >InDesign. also have no problem between Photoshop and either of InDesign or Illustrator?????? Have spoken to Adobe - they have no solution at this point and are 'getting back to me'.... Not a problem on Tiger/CS2 on iMac before upgrade. Appreciate your help!

Possibly running out of ram since it needs to rasterize for photoshop. Save the ai file then let photoshop open it.

Exporting in Hd format from premiere

Hello, I hava a really simple question about exporting in Hd format from premiere.
Proyect:
Flash ANIMATION (1280x720) at 12 frames, Soundboth AUDIO at 44, 1000 stero, plus lots of incidental on mp3.
Duration: 4:00 minutes.
I want to know what is the best way to export this kind of projects into a very small compression, I'm talking about 4mg and still be able to watch the animation at a acceptable compressed quality?

You'll have to experiment until you get one whose quality and file size are acceptable.

Formatting of text fields when exporting from InDesign to Acrobat Pro

How does one preserve the formatting of a text field when exporting from InDesign CS6 to Acrobat Pro? It loses both the font and the alignment formatting in the PDF.

Use a font that allows embedding/ check the font embedding settings in the PDF output settings.

How do I link to Anchor Text from browser to PDF file exported from InDesign?

I see that this question was asked previously but not answered:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3737541
I need a way to link to topics (from an HTML page) within a structured PDF file generated from InDesign, i.e. one that has an interactive bookmarks
panel, that doesn't break the links when the file is updated.
In particular, I don't want to refer to:
* page numbers because the document will repaginate when it is updated, breaking existing links
* named destinations that are numeric as addition/deletion of topics renumbers the named destinations, breaking the links.
Is there any option in InDesign that creates named destinations derived from bookmark titles as that would seem to solve my problem?
I have a similar need, but I have not been able to find an answer anywhere online, even after a several hours of research.
I am on contract with General Electric to develop a UI Style Guide for an international team of developers. My client wants to be able to distribute the Style Guide as a PDF document, but needs to provide links to specific topics when submitting a "Story" in an Agile development environment to the programmers.
Ideally, I would like to be able to create "named destinations" in InDesign such that I can provide the client with a list of URLs similar to this format:
file:\\StyleGuide\Test1-20131024a.pdf\#nameddest=AnchorText-01
However, I can not figure out how to create "named destinations" in the PDF file from the InDesign file in which I have created the Anchor Text in the Hyperlinks tab.
Alternately, the client would be satisfied with the ability to link to specific bookmarks in the exported PDF file that have been derived from the configuration of the Table of Contents styles, but my research has led me to believe that it is not possible to hyperlink from a browser window to a bookmark in a PDF file (only to specific page numbers, search word lists, named destinations, and comments) as described here: http://blogs.adobe.com/tcs/2011/01/tcs-specific/linking-to-a-page-within-a-pdf-and-more.ht ml
Having been using InDesign since 1988, when it was PageMaker, I would prefer to use it to provide GE with the most attractive deliverable, but they are now leaning heavily toward having me licensed with Madcap Flare, which has this capability built in:
http://webhelp.madcapsoftware.com/flare9/Default.htm#Nav_Links/Named_Destinations/Creating _Named_Destinations.htm
Please help me to find a solution that will allow me to continue using InDesign for this project.
Thank you!

Follow-up post (solution is not available):
I have just completed a phone call with Gaurev Sethi of Adobe escalated technical support in which I shared my screen to explain and demonstrate the desire to link from an external URL to a specific location within a PDF file that has been exported from InDesign. After 40 minutes, during which I was placed on hold a few times while he consulted with his team, it was determined that the desired functionality is not supported in InDesign and has been identified as a limitation of the software.
In researching alternate documentation software that supports PDF export, I discovered that Madcap Software supports this functionality in its Flare product:
http://webhelp.madcapsoftware.com/flare9/Default.htm#Nav_Links/Named_Destinations/Creating _Named_Destinations.htm
Note that linking via URL to a bookmarked location within a PDF is not supported:

More about parameters that can be specified to open PDF files are available here:

Although the above link is for a previous version of Acrobat, I could find no evidence to the contrary in the current SDK documentation.

Format changing when exporting from InDesign to PDF

I am using Acrobat 8 version 8.1.2, and InDesign version 5.0.2.
I am noticing a very specific problem when exporting some files to PDF from InDesign.
We often have a format where we have a numbered list of right-aligned number, followed by some text, a leader line, and then another number at the end of the line. This is set up with a left indent and a first line left indent (rather than using the numbered list options), and then the necessary tabs later in the lines.
I am finding since we switched to IDCS3, that when I export to PDF, lines containing this format change in the PDF. The text that appears after the number in the front of the line is pushed over on top of the leader line, leaving a huge white space. On rarer occasions, it will move things in lines that have no indents, but contain tabs that aren't being used.
I have been able to get the files to export correctly by removing the left indent and first-line left indent and using tabs instead (or by removing unused tabs). But we have hundreds of files set up in this manner so going in and changing how they are all set up is problematic to say the least.
Is this a known issue? Does anyone know why this might happen and how I can prevent it?

I haven't tried printing to PDF. I will try that and see what happens. Unfortunetly, where I work we are required to export to PDF rather than print to PDF, so if it works it will only be a clue for me rather than a solution.
Thanks for the reply. I'll try a cross post to the InDesign forms.
