Objects disappear in preview mode

I am using InDesign CS3. I have placed drawings from Illustrator CS3 on a page and also have text on the page. When I work in normal viewing mode I can see all the text and drawings. When I go to preview mode all of the objects are not visible (text and drawings). I have checked this on other files and I do not have the problem on any of my other InDesign files.
I have also made sure that Window > Attributes does not have any of the objects set to nonprinting.
Does anyone know what I have selected to make this occur?
Thanks so much for your help.
Cathy

Go back to Illustrator and check the attributes there. Also check to
make sure you haven't placed them on a non printing layer.

Chart disappears in preview mode

Xcelsius 2008
Version 5.4.0.0
Build 12.4.0.1166
I recently upgraded to version mentioned above. I can see the data for the values in the chart in design mode but the chart does not show up in preview mode or exported formats.
Thoughts?

Hello
I upgraded to SAP Dashboard Design but face the same problem. I had traces of Office 2007 in 2 systems and removing it and repairing office 2010 did help resolve the problem in one machine but not the other. Still looking for a work around.

The issue remains on the machine #2, even after doing the same steps as machine #1. I did notice that the desktop PC has a different set of updates under Add/remove programs as compared to the laptop. I am going to get the updates on my laptop to match the updates on my desktop and then check the issue with Xcelsius again.
Can you confirm with MS Office 2010 update should be installed as part of the requirement?
Until then please advise.

TS2516 Why does text disappear from some of the pages? No matter what I do, to include reviewing spelling, the text will disappear in preview mode.

Why does text disappear from the pages in my iPhoto book project? When I try to buy the book, it comes up with spelling errors (which are names that the dictionary doesn't recognize), but even after clicking "ignore", the text disappears when I preview the book. Even this is inconsistent because the same words appear on other pages. There is text on other pages that disappear for no apparent reason. This has become very frustrating and time consuming.

Are you previewing using this method? http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2486

My multi-state object disappear's when I export to PDF but works in Preview mode?

I created a multi-state object which is a series of logos that appear when a button is clicked. There are two buttons one is set to go the the previous state and one is set to go to the next state. When I view it in the preview mode it works fine but when I export it to PDF nothing happens when I click the buttons. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Multi-state objects are NOT supported in PDF. The PDF standard preceded the development of multi-state objects. It's now under the control of the ISO so may be slow to adapt.
They work when exporting to SWF or with the Adobe Digital Publishing Suite.

Data Disappears from Line Chart in Preview Mode

Help! Line chart data present in design mode, but disappears when in preview mode. I have a dashboard that I update monthly. Simple line charts. Now, the line chart data is visible while in the design view, but does not show up when in the preview view or even when converting it to a PDF or Powerpoint. SWF issue? Inputs are needed!
Thanks,
Stan

Hi Stan,
The answer to, why the data disappears in runtime mode, depends on how you retrieve the data in your dashboard.
It seems that you have some sample static data in your spreadsheet that shown in design mode. But chances are that this data is set to be overwritten in runtime mode, if you import your data using QAAWS, Live Office or similar.
I would suggest you to add a "spreadsheet table" component (found in the bottom of the Selectors category in the components browser) to your dashboard. Set the spreadsheet table to display some of the cells in the spreadsheet that you expect to get populated during runtime.
In this way you can verify if data is actually present in the relevant cells during runtime.
By the way - this is also a best practice method to test data-retrieval in Xcelsius.
I hope this helps.
Kind Regards,
Simon

Why do some pages disappear in portrait mode?

iBooks Author 1.1
I created a new template page when I authored a book. I added this page to the end of several chapters. When I preview the book in ipad the page shows up in landscape mode but disappears in portrait mode. It is composed simply of two text fields.
Any ideas?
Thank you,
Scott

Not sure whether this applies to your sitation, I suggested this as a last straw…
Click on the layout page for the affected pages in the top section on the pane on the left. In the inspector, click the layout tab and select the layout pane. Near the bottom is a tickbox "Shared with portrait layout".
I tried to attach a screenshot, and Safari lets me select an image to attach, but the "Insert" button remains greyed out. I tried jpg, tiff, and png, no luck. I've attached images before and noticed that I sometimes have to try two or three times before the "Insert" button becomes active after selecting an image. This time, it didn't work at all, sorry.
Michi.

Unable to view photos after adjustments (except in preview mode)

I upgraded to Aperture 2.0 and would like the program but for an annoying glitch. Each time I open aperture I can make edits to one or two photos without problems, but then photos start to disappear from the viewer window. There is nothing but a blank canvas where they were. The photos will only reappear after a restart to aperture. The will appear in Preview Mode just fine.
Anyone have any ideas what the problem could be. I recall this happening a few times with 1.5.6, but this is now happening every time I use Aperture 2.0.
Thanks.

yes I get this more often on my Powerbook G4, and have had it a couple of times on my brand new MacBook Pro. With the MBP it's usually half or quarter of the image turning black. With the PG4 it's the whole image turning black. There are several threads on here about this issue with lots of respondents. This issue existed in 1.x and was fixed at some point (was gone in 1.5.6). Sadly it's returned.

Elements in Design Mode and Preview Mode are Different

I've encountered an irritating problem in Muse. The elements arranged in design mode are shifting erratically in preview mode. I'm trying to set up "buy" links for my client's CDs using amazon, cdbaby, itunes icons. The buy buttons are place below the audio player widget from MuseGrid. Right now they are just pics - no hyperlinks attributed. If anyone has advice, I'd be grateful as this problem is driving me nuts and costing me hours!!! I am using the

Hi,
Please try grouping the objects on the page. It resolved such issues in most cases.

CS5: Spell Checking in Preview Mode?

I like to compose in a WYSIWYG interface, so I use Preview Mode to dodge all the visual distractions. I may be mistaken, but it seems like the upgrade to CS5 killed the ability to see spellcheck cues in Preview. I guess it makes sense, but I was wondering if there is a pref or a setting I am missing to enable it. Thanks!

Are you talking about Dynamic Spelling or the traditional spell checker under the edit menu?
The latter should be showing you highlighted words it finds, the former disappears.

Critical Help: Xcelsius 2008 (crashes on snapshot and preview mode?)

I just upgraded to Xcelsius 2008................. everything seemed to work fine until I built my first model with Xcelsius 2008.
For some reason, I can not place the Xcelsius 2008 into "Preview" mode.......... when it goes into preview mode is leaves out data on the charts......... and when I try a snapshot back to Excel to see what is wrong............ it totally crashes.... then Xcelsius 2008 and MS Excel shut down and have issues starting up?????? I never had this problem with Professional 4.5
I am pretty familiar with MS Excel and Xcelsius (however, I do not understand why it would crash when I attempt to preview??); do you know if there is a fix or if others are having this problem? Can you forward to an engineer?? Please, Please............ this has been a trying process....... I am questioning whether I should have really spent the $400 to upgrade.
Also, I downloaded the SP1 zip files..... what files specifically do I use? there is 50 or more files in that folder.
Please help..........my only option is to delete Xcelsius 2008 and go back to the the old Professional version 4.5?? Thought I would check in with you...........Thanks for helping!!!!

Hi, I had the same problem. I solved it just waiting more time.
It happens when you're trying to make a snapshot of a very big excel with inside some "critical" formulas like VLOOKUP or SUMIF or COUNTIF. Are you using some of these formulas?
If your answer is YES, what I can say to you is that when you make a snapshot you'll be able to open the excel only when you'll can to exit from the snapshot...(not when the time icon disappear )
Try this way, and let me know if it's ok.
Enjoy,

Javascript works in Designer preview mode, but not when invoked via process

I have a fragment consisting of a subform and a text object. The subform has the following Javascript for its initialize event:
var cars = $data.input.cars.car.all;
var showMe = false;
for (var i = 0; i < cars.length; i++) {
if(cars.item(i).color && cars.item(i).color.value == 'RED')
showMe = true;
break;
if(!showMe) {
this.presence = 'hidden';
The code is supposed to loop through all my input XML data's cars, see if each car has a color element, and if so, see if the color is RED. If any of the cars have a color of RED, the fragment should be visible. Otherwise, it should be hidden.
The Javascript works fine when I preview the fragment in Designer using a sample XML input file with no color element (i.e. the text in the fragment is hidden).
The Javascript works fine in my main document (which has the fragment included in it) when in preview mode in Designer.
The Javascript does not work when I invoke my process in LiveCycle server. I pass in data that has 1 car without a color element, and for some reason my fragment is visible.
Is there something wrong with my Javascript? Is this the wrong way to check to see if an XML element is present? Is something else wrong?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Andy

I guess a more appropriate question might be:<br /><br />How can I tell if my XML input data does or does not contain an element? Let's say I have<br /><br /><input><br /> <cars><br /> <car><br /> <make>VW</make><br /> </car><br /> </cars><br /></input><br /><br />How can I use Javascript to safely determine if the car has a <color> element?

Issues between Design mode and Preview mode

SERIOUS issues going from Design to Preview in Muse. Line breaks change, objects on the page shift, etc. This happens when I look at my page in the preview mode through Muse, as well as when I preview the page in a browser. I also get a warning message saying there is a font being used that is not installed and has been replaced. This is a font that I do, in fact, have installed on my system, but after getting the error message so many times, I re-formatted all text to a Web Font called Questrial, and still get the error message referring to the previous font. SO FRUSTRATING. Any ideas?

I have this problem where the images are not appearing or are appearing cropped.

Correctly Hide Edit Mode Elements in Preview Mode

Hello,
I wanted to know how I should modify the code below to correctly show content in the correct mode? The code below works, but when switching to preview mode, I have to manually refresh the page to get the "Preview/Publish mode text" to disappear. I'm aware I could modify the sidekick to force a refresh, but I'd prefer to do it similarly to how CQ does it (eliminate all edit mode components immediately without refreshing the page). Thoughts?
import="com.day.cq.wcm.api.WCMMode"
<%
    if ((WCMMode.fromRequest(request) == WCMMode.EDIT) || (WCMMode.fromRequest(request) == WCMMode.DESIGN)) {
        %><div>Edit mode only text</div><%
    } else {
        %><div>Preview/Publish mode text</div><%
%>

Hi,
As the above code is evaluated server side and edit/preview is triggered client side this approach will not work for you.
You could use the fact that CQ is adding "cq-wcm-edit" class to page body in edit mode and "cq-wcm-preview" in preview and hide your divs by CSS.

How to view report in online preview mode

hai all,
i wish to view report in online preview mode for existing reports.
ie. output in-report online preview mode
any idea please
thanks in advance
rcs

Hi,
there is an SBO setting inside
Administation>System Init>Print preferences>Print Draft Watermark on Draft
Then a "DRAFT" watermark will appear if it's printed before adding.
In CR use a stored proc to get data back according to the Objectid@.
Then if its the object id of a draft then add a CR watermark.
Hope this helps.
