PDFs & InDesign plus Photoshop & Illustrator

Does anyone know if InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator have any dependency on Distiller to make their PDFs?

All the CS products export directly to PDF without first converting the data to PostScript. That allows live transparency to be preserved in the PDF file, which is a huge bonus for those of us in the printing industry. Until all the RIP manufacturers offer full support for PDF Print Engine technology, transparency flattening will remain a fact of life. Far better that we control the flattening at print time than the customer flatten the job willy-nilly without understanding our needs.

  • Layered InDesign to Layered Illustrator? Photoshop? (CS4)

    Howdy!
    Is there any (relatively) simple way to get a layered InDesign file into a layered Illustrator or Photoshop file?
    I'm hoping for something better than copy/paste each layer.
    Thanks in advance!
    -Ted

    You MIGHT have luck with exporting a Layered PDF and opening that in Illustrator, but don't expect miracles, or flowing type, or even everything where it belongs. Illustrator is not a general purpose PDF editor and will only give really good results if the PDF started life in Illustrator.
    As far as I know there is no way to get a layered file into Photoshop in layers, or in any sort of editable condition, for that matter.

  • Can Adobe Illustrator match inner bevel effects of inDesign and Photoshop?

    Can Adobe Illustrator match or simulate inner bevel effects of inDesign and Photoshop? If it is possible, please explain how to get a soft inner bevel on type or vector shape in Adobe Illustrator CS4 that can be set up to be identical (or, at least, very close) to the layer styles of PS and the type/fill/stroke/object effects of ID. So far, I have not been able to achieve the same look with 3D extrude and bevel in AI. I want a solid red object with a soft 16 point white-tint highlight and a soft 16 point black tint shadow. If it is not something that is possible with 3D extrude and bevel settings, this something that must or could be done manually with the gradient mesh tool?

    I’ve vectorized everything except the 3D red portion.

  • Error message when creating PDF from Indesign and Photoshop

    Hi, I reinstalled my Adobe CS2 product, and now get an error message each time I create a PDF from either InDesign or Photoshop. The message reads:
    The instruction at "0x0045c9e5" referenced memory at "0x0215ebdc". The memory could not be "read".
    I appreciate any help in resolving this issue.
    Thanks --Alex

    How do you create the PDF? There are multiple ways and it might make a difference.

    I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 plus I create PDF files for work some are scan pdf docs. When I install Photoshop Elements 10 it DOES convert all the PDF files to Photoshop Elements-10 Docs. it even changes and shows the PSE-10 Icon. So I am alway installing PSE-10 or uninstalling it. If I send the  PDF file that has been automatically converted to a PSE-10 the person I send the file to can not open it because they do not have PSE-10. What can I do to stop PSE-10 from converting my PDF files? Don't tell me to upgrade PSE-10 I tried their on-line program and  it is too advance for a hobby photographer like myself and their Help Desk is impossible to reach.

    Hi,
    Can you please share the logs?
    You can use the Adobe  Log Collector tool (Log Collector Tool) and share the corresponding zip file @ [email protected]

  • Which is better software for brochures and PDF forms ? Photoshop or InDesign ?

    Which is better software for brochures and PDF forms ? Photoshop or InDesign ? and why ?

    If you are going to be making a lot of brochures, with photos, you probably want both. Photoshop to edit the photos, and InDesign to assemble and layout images with text.

  • I'm attempting to create a pdf from InDesign and the Illustrator image does not appear properly.

    I'm attempting to create a pdf from InDesign and the Illustrator logo does not appear properly. The logo has a light blue color background with a black to white gradiant over it with a multiply designation set at 100%.  I flattened the logo in illustrator before importing into InDesign. When the pdf is created, the blue background of the logo drops out and the only thing showing is the graduated screen of black. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

    Thanks for your reply Peter,
    I'm on Mac OSX (10.5.8) using Acrobat 7 Professional and Acrobat 
    Reader 9 to view the pdf. I created it by exporting. Attached is a 
    screen capture of the letterhead. Since I posted, I sent a test pdf to 
    my partner's computer eventhough it didn't look right on my system and 
    she said it looked fine to her. I've restarted my computer and tried 
    again and still get the same results.
    Thanks for your help,

  • Creative Cloud has installed 2 versions of Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign

    Somehow, in updating my CC apps, I ended up with...
    Photoshop CC & Photoshop CC (2014)
    Illustrator CC & Illustrator CC (2014)
    InDesign CC & InDesign CC (2014).
    Can I delete the 3 CCs and keep the 2014s? (I'm assuming the answer is yes.)

    The simple answer is yes if you don't need CC for plug-ins and Flash-based Extensions which are not compatible with CC 2014.
    e.g. Photoshop CC's Oil Paint Filter, Mini-Bridge and Kuler panel have disappeared in CC 2014.

    Adobe seems to have a penchant for unintentionally confusing users, especially at upgrade time.

  • What happen to TOTAL TRAINING, where i can buy a tutorial in DVD of a creative cloud CC Design: InDesign, photoshop, illustrator, acrobat?

    Many year ago, i bought the entire collection of DVD of Total Training of the Creative Suite Design, and came with InDesign, Photoshop, illustrator, acrobat, version cue, and was wonderfull learn all, now 10 years ago, i try to get now the Creative Cloud CC for Design, and only found tutorials online, or with Lynda.com any sugestions?

    Looking at the current options readily accessible on Adobe.com, for students and teachers it appears that the only options are to get the entire suite for $20/month or the photographers bundle (LR + PS) for $100/year thru Aug 29, so not sure what the price would be, now, so no there is not a way to get 3 apps for cheaper than the entire suite, since there is no single-app price.
    If it’s any consolation, for non-educational individuals, the single app price is $20/month and the full-suite price is $50/month, so for three applications like you want to use, it’d be cheaper to go with the full-suite than buy three individual app subscriptions.
    The bottom line is that as a student or teacher you’re able to access the full suite of apps for the price of a single app once you’re out of school, and that is as low as Adobe will go.
