Multiple Indesign pages to Flash

Hello,
I'm creating a interactive cd in Flash.
In my flash file is a movieclip that consists 103 frames. Every frame is a different page.
I'm using Indesign to create this pages because its the best way to work with so many different pages.
When I export the pages to .jpg everything looks and goes wel. Only the quality becomes very low when putting the swf to fullscreen.
I've tried exporting it as .swf but is it wisely to put 103 .swf in a flash file? I'd like to keep the text vector and readable on every screen size.
Does anyone have a good workflow for this?
Thanks in advance,
Thuuske

I believe that as long as your swf's do not have any actionscript in them, you will fair much better haviung 103 swf's versus 103 jpeg files. Using native graphics in Flash swfs normally saves a bundle of file size and you get the vector graphics as well. As soon as youy introduce jpegs, tyou need to get their resolution up tot a level that has them presented clearly, which usually means increased filesize.
One thing you might try before you change to trying swfs, if you haven't done so already, is to make sure you have the Allow Smoothing option assigned for all of the jpegs. This can help resolve matters of images looking bad at different sizes, though upsizing is more often the dangerous direction to head.

Is it possible to print multiple InDesign pages on one sheet?

Say I have a 10 page InDesign document. Each page is fairly small. When I go to print out those proofs, can I print all 10 pages on one sheet of paper? Or do I have to copy each layout separately onto a new document to group them? Just to save paper really.

I agree. That's not gonna happen even with Feature Request...everybody loves drop shadow...
are you kidding me?
That horrible drop shadow bar adds no value to thumbnail prints and causes designers to have to trim the prints to the thin line page edge that prints. With the bar under the thumbnail, it interferes with page design decisions, which is really the whole point of printing thumbnails--to save paper while quickly evaluating the design of the page.
It would also be helpful to have thumbnail print options galore, for printing miniature booklets with pagination controls, etc., for little samples we could give to our clients.
If the InDesign software engineers would add realistic drop shadow controls for thumbnails, that would be fine. But designers still want the ability to turn off the thumbnails.
KILL THE WORTHLESS DROP SHADOW BAR AND PLEASE GIVE US MORE THUMBNAIL PRINTING OPTIONS.

Adding multiple indesign pages into one manual

HELP, I am trying to make one big manual out of 60 different indesign files. How do I do this? I have been trying to find help on it without success. Can someone help me?
THANK you!
Stephanie

There are time one might need to actually combine documents, rather than use the book feature. To do this:
Open up the first and second documents (or as many as your computer will handle)
Make the second doc the active one.
Go to the Move menu on the Pages panel.
Choose all pages and select the first doc from the pop-up destination menu.
Click OK/Move.
Close second doc.
Save the first.
Repeat as needed in document order.

Automatically place images within multiple InDesign documents

I work for a publishing company of agricultural trade magazines and work on few titles each month. We are trying to streamline our production procedures and previous company I worked for had a script they used to place images within text pages by searching for the file name, however there were some limitations with this script (it would only work within 1 InDesign document and only within 1 InDesign story at a time). The company I am with now breaks out each editorial story into separate InDesign files and we place image boxes when the display ads are going to go. For our purposes now, I am looking for a script that, once all of the image boxes were tagged with the image file names, could search between multiple InDesign documents in a folder and automatically place all the images for us. Is anything like this available or able to be created? If so, would it have the capacity to search between multiple InDesign documents and search the entire document for the image file names? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Kasyan,
They were tagged using a program called Pathways created by a computer programmer the company used at the time. The issues that I was working on were annual Buyers' Guides so they were mainly just listings and inline graphics. The kinds of issues I work on now are monthly issue with various stories and no inline graphics, but display advertisements. And each story is created and laid out in a separate InDesign document. So I would need a script that can search an entire group of documents for file names and/or image boxes instead of just in one story in one document for inline graphics. (sorry if this is confusing).
I currently do not have a script to work from and am looking for something new that can be used to save use the time of placing every ad manually.
Thanks for your help and feedback!

10.6.2 Causing Browsers to Freeze on Pages w/Flash?

Every time I navigate to a page that has Flash elements into it (e.g. YouTube), Safari hangs and my computer beach balls. I can't view any pages with Flash elements in them (or at least pages that have multiple Flash elements) without Safari freezing and causing me to kill Safari through Force Quit.
To try to fix this problem, I reset Safari (resetting every available option), repaired permissions, restarted, and nothing worked. Then I used the Flash uninstaller from Adobe's website to uninstall Flash, then reinstall a fresh copy which did not work.
I reinstalled Snow Leopard, updated all of my system's software, and then tried to view YouTube.com and the same problem still occurred.
Now I originally thought that the Safari 4.0.4 update caused the problem. However - after I reinstalled Snow Leopard and updated to 10.6.2, I downloaded to Camino to see if YouTube would work, but to my surprise it didn't. The same exact problem I'm having with Safari (entire browser freezing when viewing a page with Flash such as YouTube) is also happening with a 3rd-party browser (Camino).
This leads me to believe that 10.6.2 may be the source of the problem (as I never had this problem with 10.6.1), not the 4.0.4. Any ideas on how to correct this problem? I cannot go on websites with Flash elements in them, even with a 3rd-party browser.

My Flash problem isn't crashing my browsers -- at least not on the sites I'm visiting -- but I believe I've got the same problem and it has resisted all fixes. I did my first upgrade via Software Update, but I've used the combo installer twice now. I've reset the PRAM multiple times. I've repaired permissions over and over. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Flash player, even tried reverting to Player 9.
No matter what, Flash won't work properly. The problem appears to be in the settings, and may be limited to a failure to permit 3rd-party Flash loads. However, I cannot change my settings. At first, I could at least change local settings via right-clicking on an embedded Flash. That's no longer true; I get the popup window, but no clicks work -- I can't even cancel out.
Meanwhile, the settings panel on the Adobe site hasn't worked since I upgraded my OS to 10.6.2 and Safari to 4.0.4. All checkboxes show up as blank, and most don't change when I click on them. I can move the slider on the amount of data that can be stored on my computer, but neither that no any other settings stick -- just switching tabs and returning shows settings reverted to the default. And no matter what I've done, the settings panels for sites I've already visited shows nothing in its list -- it is not registering any of my previous visits.
This problem affects both Safari and Firefox. However, I also noted that if I try uninstalling Flash while those browers are open, I will be reminded to close Firefox ... but Safari doesn't show up as being active.
Sounds to me like something in either 10.6.2 or Safari 4.0.4 is blocking some component of Flash.

Merging Multiple InDesign Documents?

I am working on a product catalog that is split into multiple InDesign documents. I need to merge them into one InDesign document. Is there an easy way to do that?
Thank you! Damon

Thank you! Subligaria12! Peter answered my question and your thread was also very helpful as well! I did need to combine my pages in this manner as well!

How can I setup multiple home page tabs?

I am trying to setup mozilla like I have internet explorer. This is to say with multiple home page tabs on opening. Can I do this, if so how?

Multiple Summary Pages

How can I use multiple summary pages in a single OPM project ?

If possibly using JS/Jquery anyway, I'd suggest you don't need multiple summary screens but instead a a single summary screen from OWD with a single list of goals presented by default. Use JS to add a search function and dynamically modify the HTML to make the sorted/grouped lists appear as you desire (on the same page without any requests to the server). Only upon clicking on a goal would the question pages in pursuit of the selected goal begin.
You might get some good ideas on implementation from the searchable combo-boxes in v10.4.1 - summary video available at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmmQeFt6qCQ&list=UUtUHPDCD1EFH_ftnhR_i-dQ&index=5&feature=plcp shows the properties that control behavior.
You'll probably want to look at the velocity templates in \Release\web-determinations\web-inf\classes\templates\ (after a build). Look at question_screen.vm for an example of how the comboboxes are rendered and for javascript inclusion within a velocity template. Also look at summary_screen.vm as that is what renders the summary screen and will likely be where you will want to add your JS search functionality. (also shows how the list of goals is rendered by default).

How to set multiple home pages, the option is gone (replaced my hard drive and had to reinstall firefox) This version seems to only offer tabs, not pages?

My old version of Firefox had the option for me to set multiple home pages. My hard drive recently failed and had to be replaced, so I had to install the newest version of Firefox. The only option I see when I go to tools, options, general is to set the one home page. (and maybe tabs) I would like to open several of the same pages every time I open my Firefox. Does anyone know how to get this back, or which version had this feature so I can downgrade to that particular version?
Also, I was wondering if there is a way to get the bookmarks I had on the old version back. I think they are lost forever, but if anyone knows, I would be thankful. I do still have the old hard drive, but the way it failed was actually when you tried to open any browser, the hard drive would go and blue screen, this is why the old hard drive had to be replaced. Thanks. :)

So you mean you want to open new windows with the same page when you open Firefox?
[[How to set the home page#w_set-more-than-one-website-as-your-home-page|Set more than one website as your home page]] should help if you want to open multiple pages when you open Firefox.
As for recovering your bookmarks, you can try to plug that hard drive into a working computer, and then read [[Recovering important data from an old profile]] to copy your bookmarks from it. However, if it is failing you may not be able to do that.

I have a macbook pro using version 10.7.4 and I can't print multiple size pages in a pdf file using the brother laser printer hl-5470 dwt

I have a Macbook Pro using the 10.7.4 version. I recently bought a Brother HL-5470DWT Laser Printer. I can't seem to tell the printer to print multiple size pages in my pdf files.
No matter what I do it still prints all the documents as 8.5x11! It isn't pulling the paper from both printer trays.

Rearrange pages when printing adobe form with multiple master pages

Hello!
Good day to you all.
I have an issue in regards with printing my adobe form with multiple Master pages. I have 4 master pages:
1st master page: a
2nd master page: b
3rd master page: c
4th master page: d
all with different headers and footers all having the same contents (items). I don't have issue with one page content (it just prints 4 pages with different headers and footers). The issue comes out once the items exceed 1 page.
What happens is that the preview/print shows (example: 3-page item)
a1-a2-a3-b1-b2-b3-c1-c2-c3-d1-d2-d3.
What i need is to print these such that all 1st pages of the 4 master page to be printed first, then all the 2nd pages, then all 3rd pages. Please see below:
a1-b1-c1-d1-a2-b2-c2-d2-a3-b3-c3-d3
This is because we will be using carbonless copy paper during printing and it's possible that it would be printed on batch jobs. Please suggest ways to do this.
Thanks a lot in advance!
Best Regards,
abap_peer_dangs

Hi,
Is that requirement of multiple pages as groups only at the time of print or at print preview also...?
Can you have a Print button on this screen or you should be using the Abobe toolbar's Print button..?
Well if this on a click of a button in the form and the requirement is only at the time of print and not on print prieview I can have a JS script which does this...
Let me know if this suffice, I can try with a local file and send you the script.
@ Chris: I didn't understand what do you mean by reported, I was eager to hear and learn a solution from you may be a new approach which I am not aware of ...?
Cheers,
Sai.

Subject: WHEN I TRY TO OPEN A PDF FILE, THE READER OPENS HUNDREDS OF MULTIPLE BLANK PAGES .
Something is definitely wrong with your install of Reader.
A PDF consists of only the number of pages it was created with. Reader can and will only open those pages... IF it's installed and working properly.
Opening multiple blank pages from a document which contains none is a clear sign that the software isn't functioning. It's like putting a movie into a DVD player, and your TV starts a picture slide show of your last Summer's vacation. Not possible unless there's something seriously wrong.
Uninstall Reader 9.
Use either Adobe's clean uninstaller or Windows Installer Cleanup Utility (http://download.microsoft.com/download/e/9/d/e9d80355-7ab4-45b8-80e8-983a48d5e1bd/msicuu2. exe) to remove all Reader installer files from your system.
Reinstall Reader 9 from a new download (do not use the old one if you still have it on your system)

Switching pages from flash-gui

I tried to switch to a page using a flash-button inside an rma which functions as a gui.
To do so I use an external interface call:
var jsCaller:Object = ExternalInterface.call("eval","this.pageNum = 1;");
I use eval frequently to call various methods within my document-script and so far it has never failed me. However, in this case, when I push the button, acrobat crashes.
It seems to switch to the page (at least the scrollbar indicates that) but before anything from that page is actually shown, acrobat crashes. The version I use is Acrobat 9 Pro Extended (version 9.1.0). I tested this in reader 9.4 and found the same behaviour.

Yes it does, and it will. The problem is that by switching pages the Flash annotation is disabled, but both Flash and Acrobat expect the externalInterface function to have a return value. As the Flash Player instance is killed halfway through the handshake, it takes Acrobat down with it. Probably should've fixed it, but it's not a major priority, as;
(1) hardly anyone uses it, and if they do they find out very quickly they can't
(2) it crashes in a safe-ish way, so there's no exploitability in the bug
One way around it is to call a doc-level function from AS which itself fires off a short delayed function call to set the pageNum value, so you can return the handshake to Flash *before* the page changes and the link gets severed. If your SWF is running in a pop-up window and set to manually disable, then it'll be fine.

Multiple blank pages follow body of message in webmail

Approximately after the update to iOS 7.0.2 and whatever version of updated Safari, when checking web mail using Safari, I get multiple blank 'pages' at the bottom of emails. These multiples will grow in number/size each time I view a message. If I try to print a message out using Airport Extreme and a compatible HP wireless printer, the blank pages ( with notation of the page number, etc.) will number in the hundreds and as high as 1600. I have spoken with Apple customer support and with HP customer support and they have found no problems with my iPad3. If I forward my problem email to someone running an original iPad with the iOS 5 and older Safari, they open the mail in web mail through the same provider (noip.com) and have no problems with the lengthening blank space on the bottom of the emails. Not a perfect test perhaps, but.... When looking at the message source, there is no apparent blank space or coding after the end of the body of the message. I know I can retrieve my mail using Mail and IMAP on the iPad. But, if possible would like to figure out what is the issue if I can before I switch over.... Has any one got ideas as to what could be causing this?
Thank you!

Tap Settings > Safari
Tap to clear Cookies, Data, and History
Then reset your iPad.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Then try printing a page from email in Safari.
if that didn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
Then restart the iPad and try again.

Multiple indesign files for product brochure one data merge file

I have multiple indesign files for product brochure and there are price changes for various products.
attached is a screen shot of the folder where all the indesign files are located as you can see each one has been laid out as a spread.
Rather than opening each individual indesign file to amend prices can i quickly? or is there a way of compliling all documents into one file and quickly updating the price with the data merge file.
thanks in advance.

Absolutely not.
(1)     PDF/VT-1 files must also be PDF/X-4 files. The “create PDF via distillation of PostScript” method precludes this since PostScript supports neither live transparency nor color management.
(2)     The efficiencies of PDF/VT-1 require use of Forms XOjects and Image XObjects in the PDF file. That requires direct PDF creation that you get from PDF export. This is not available via any route that uses stink'in PostScript as an intermediary.
(3)     Adobe most strongly endorses PDF creation from InDesign via the export function, not printing to PostScript and distilling. Such PostScript is optimized strictly for printing and not for PDF file creation.
