Placed Illustrator graphics have larger frame than graphic size

I am creating artwork in Illustrator to place in InDesign. I have created separate layers for each element and then I use InDesign’s object layer options to select which layer is visible.
The graphic in Illustrator is 1.2175 in wide by .161 in tall. Upon placing into InDesign, the frame is 1.2869 in wide by .2413 inches tall.
When placing I am using the “Crop To”: Bounding Box (Visible Layers Only)
Why are there margins around the artwork? I would like the InDesign frame to fit tight to art.
I have attached screen shots from AI and INDD below.
Thanks,
Phil

I may be on to something.
Besides the text needing to be converted to curves, the stroke needed to be set to outside.  With the stroke set to center the frame in InDesign was expanded.
Can anyone else confirm this?
Thanks,
Phil

  • Cisco cat2960: large frames

    Hi All.
    I was checking my ports on errors on a subject switch and all was OK. but one ios command -
    "show controllers ethernet-controller <my interface>" has shown me that some ports have
    "Too large frames" in transmit section and "Valid Frames, too Large" in receive section.
    does it mean that my switch drops this frames?

    I have no stack. My cisco-cat switches are connected through twisted pair (utp5).
    с2960[gi0/1]======[gi0/1]с2950[gi0/2]======[gi1/0/15]с3750
    ====== - it s gigabit trunk connection.
    i have checked ports on other switches and it has surprised me: c2950 have no large frames , but c3750 have large frames.
    I have set mtu in 9000 only on c2960. i thought that some one who is connected to this switch(PC or other network device) sends large frames. I did not think that large frames can be on other switches.
    it seems to me that problem has occured because of ipx traffic in my network and fallback bridging on my c3750.

  • How to display graphics larger than canvas size?

    How do I display graphics larger than canvas size in Java AWT?
    I tried setting the canvas size() to a value larger than my monitor size, and then adding scroll bars to the canvas, but the scroll bars and the canvas won't go beyond the monitor size in pixels, which is only 800, so the large graphic I try to display gets cut off at the bottom.
    How can I overcome this problem? Has anybody encounter a similar dilemma before?

  • Today, I randomly happened to have less than 1GB of hard drive space left. I found very large "frame" files, what are they?

    I found very large "frame" files, what are they & can I delete them? (See screenshot). I'm a (17 today)-year-old film-maker and can't edit in FCP X anymore because I "don't have enough space". Every time I try to delete one, another identical file creates itself...
    If that can help: I just upgraded to FCP 10.0.4 and every time I launch it it asks to convert my current projects (I know it would do it at least once) and I accept, but everytime I have to get it done AGAIN. My computer is slower than ever and I have a deadline this friday
    I also just upgraded to Mac OS X 10.7.4, and the problem hasn't been here for long, so it may be linked...
    Please help me!
    Alex

    The first thing you should do is to back up your personal data. It is possible that your hard drive is failing. If you are using Time Machine, that part is already done.
    Then, I think it would be easiest to reformat the drive and restore. If you ARE using Time Machine, you can start up from your Leopard installation disc. At the first Installer screen, go up to the menu bar, and from the Utilities menu, first select to run Disk Utility. Completely erase the internal drive using the Erase tab; make sure you have the internal DRIVE (not the volume) selected in the sidebar, and make sure you are NOT erasing your Time Machine drive by mistake. After erasing, quit Disk Utility, and select the command to restore from backup from the same Utilities menu. Using that Time Machine volume restore utility, you can restore it to a time and date immediately before you went on vacation, when things were working.
    If you are not using Time Machine, you can erase and reinstall the OS (after you have backed up your personal data). After restarting from the new installation and installing all the updates using Software Update, you can restore your personal data from the backup you just made.

  • Illustrator file contains pdf text rather than graphic

    When I open an illustrator file I created about a year ago I now get a file that is filled with text saying:
    This is an Adobe® Illustrator® File that was
    saved without PDF Content.
    To Place or open this file in other
    applications, it should be re-saved from
    Adobe Illustrator with the "Create PDF
    Compatible File" option turned on. This
    option is in the Illustrator Native Format
    Options dialog box, which appears when
    saving an Adobe Illustrator file using the
    Save As command.
    When I follow the instructions it literally saves the warning text that is shown, and there is no graphics.
    When I try to "place" the file into a new illustrator file the preview shows my graphic, but when it is place it is just the repeating message.
    Has anyone seen this or know a work around to get my graphic back

    Looks like the file is corrupt.
    Either you didn't save it with PDF compatibility or both parts of the file got corrupted.
    When following the instructions did you save it under a different name or did you overwrite the existing file?
    If you overwrote it, then your file is most probably gone forever. If you still have the original file you could try and recover it using third party tools. See a list of tools inthis post by Jacob Bugge: Re: How to recover an Illustrator CS2 file that crashed, with Illustrator CS5.5 ?

  • Packaging an InDesign document with Placed Illustrator Files which contain PLACED GRAPHICS!

    I've got an InDesign document 215 pages long.  Each page contains a placed Illustrator document... and each Illustrator document contains a placed TIFF.
    When I package the InDesign Document the Illustrator files are gathered into the new location, but InDesign does not gather the TIFFs.  I need to get this material to the book designer, but relinking 215 pages is going to be a very risky and time consuming process--one that will have to be done OVER and OVER again as the project moves from one location to another.  Can anyone recommend a solution?  Why doesn't InDesign look for nested files?
    Does anybody understand what I'm talking about?
    --Jay

    The reason behind link (.psd in layers) means in the future it can be edited.
    If the person receiving to package needs to edit the layers of a PSD placed in an Illustrator file, then yes you would have to manually include the layered PSDs. But if it's just a matter of ensuring full res and color managed output downstream then saving as PDF does that and preserves the links to layered files locally. So if I save as PDF trash a link and reopen the PDF in Illustrator it will look for the link:
    If you save as .ai with the links embedded, the users downstream would be able to unembed and edit a flattened version of the placed art.

  • Frame in frame with graphics problem-or maybe not

    Hi from Croatia.
    Well I have and extremely demanding costumer that wants to control every single bit of the project.
    The problem is as follows.
    I have a book that every once in a wile has annotation which above and bellow has a graphic line (not simple line but complex graphic imported from illustrator.)
    I tried to anchor one object above and another bellow this text which lets say stands in the middle of text frame and for me everything works ok.
    But this demanding customer wants that those annotations are in separate frame so that he can have full control over them(?).
    So I made frame in frame-put wrapping around this smaller frame.
    The problem is- is it possible to put those graphics in this smaller frame, create text object and add it to library so that i can use it multiple times. I have more than hundred of those annotations.
    And is it possible when i cut the text from this main frame to paste it in this smaller one and that this small frame automatically fills with text so that frame expands vertically according with amount of text. I am not placing text but pasting. I hope you have understood but in every case here is an example.
    Main text frame(text fills full width of page)
    sadbhjasdsdab
    sagsafgsfgafsd
    agsfgfasg
    (Now smaller frame with graphic fills full width of main frame)
    ewfewtf
    agasg
    sdagasdga
    (text fom main frame continues)
    fasdfs
    dsgasgasg
    dfgdfsg
    dfsgsd
    Uf this was exhausting even for me.
    THX for any help.

    I tried to use 3 row table with header and footer, but the problem is that indesign does not allow tables to break when the part of table goes to another page.
    And THX for in for on those plugins.

  • Windows Graphics 20 times slower than Linux Graphics?

    Hello,
    I am working on a java application to visualize 3D crystal structures. The atomes in the structure are drawn with "DrawOval" and "FillOval". Most of the processor time is spent on these two commands. Since I want to draw several thousands up to tens of thousands of atoms in real time, performance is a serious issue.
    The program works well, however I made the following observance: The code running on Windows XP is about 20 tims slower (approx. 100 ms/frame vs. 5 ms/frame) than the same code running on the same computer under Linux!
    Why is there such a big performance difference?
    Is there a way to have the same performance on the windows machine as on the linux machine?
    Is it necessary to use a different way to display circles?
    Hardware: AMD dual Athlon, NVidia GeForce4 Ti 4400.
    Thanks a lot for your help!

    I should say I'm surprised that there is such a big difference in performance, but if you want really great performance you might want to look into using OpenGL, even if you only do 2D graphics. 3D drivers are usually more optimized than the 2D counterparts (simply because of greater demand, unless you look into HighEnd CAD graphics cards).
    Obviously OpenGL will only be faster if you've got accelerated 3D drivers for every platform.

  • [JS] CS4 How to position a graphic within a Frame

    I have a JS script that I am converting from CS3 to CS4 and I am finding that the behaviour for positioning a graphic within a frame has changed.  I have code that sets the geometric bounds of a graphic to a negitave value within the frame, within CS3 this works great.  However using the same code on CS4 to set the geometric bounds does not produce the same result.  The graphic is always placed at 0,0 and it ignores the negitive top and left values supplied.
    Does anyone know what has changed with the geometric bounds of a graphic within a recrangle frame?  How would I set the position of the graphic within the frame since setting the geometric bounds does not seem to work any longer.
    Thanks,
    Sheldon

    I have yet to determine why the behavior is different from CS3 to CS4 and how to correct the positioning within CS4.  To help explain the problem further I have included a sample script which demonstrates the problem.  I have run the script on both CS3 and CS4 and included screen shots of the results when the resulting INDD file is opened.  Could someone help explain why the position of the image is wrong in CS4 and what I can do to correct the problem?
    Here is the sample script ...
    for(i=app.documents.count()-1;i>=0;i--){app.documents.item(i).close();}
    app.textPreferences.useOpticalSize = false;
    app.textPreferences.typographersQuotes = false;
    app.textImportPreferences.useTypographersQuotes = false;
    app.taggedTextImportPreferences.useTypographersQuotes = false;
    app.pasteboardPreferences.minimumSpaceAboveAndBelow = "300p";
    app.textFramePreferences.firstBaselineOffset = FirstBaseline.ascentOffset;
    app.colorSettings.cmsSettingsPath = File("C:\\etc\\Friesens_Yearbook_Custom_Color_Settings.csf");
    app.marginPreferences.top = '24pt';
    app.marginPreferences.bottom = '48pt';
    app.marginPreferences.left = '36pt';
    app.marginPreferences.right = '36pt';
    var doc = app.documents.add();
    doc.viewPreferences.horizontalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.points;
    doc.viewPreferences.verticalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.points;
    doc.documentPreferences.pageHeight = 792;
    doc.documentPreferences.pageWidth = 612;
    doc.documentPreferences.pageOrientation = PageOrientation.portrait;
    doc.documentPreferences.pagesPerDocument = 2;
    doc.documentPreferences.facingPages = true;
    doc.sections.firstItem().continueNumbering = false;
    doc.sections.firstItem().pageNumberStart = 2;
    var pg = doc.pages.item(0);
    var frm = pg.rectangles.add();
    frm.geometricBounds = ['200.5pt','200.2pt','447.8551pt','415.5206pt'];
    try{frm.place (File('c:\\test.jpg'), false);}catch(err){};
    if(frm.graphics.count() > 0) {frm.graphics.firstItem().geometricBounds = [frm.geometricBounds[0]-147, frm.geometricBounds[1]-49, 407.04+frm.geometricBounds[0]-147, 271.68+frm.geometricBounds[1]-49];};
    var objStyle = doc.objectStyles.add();
    objStyle.enableStroke= false;
    objStyle.transparencySettings.blendingSettings.opacity = 100;
    frm.applyObjectStyle(objStyle, true, true);
    frm.rotationAngle = 59;
    doc.label = '824203.indd';
    doc.packageForPrint('c:\\test\\824203\\', true, true, true, true, true, false, '', false, false);
    for(i=app.documents.count()-1;i>=0;i--){app.documents.item(i).close();}
    The line that I highlighted is the one that adjusts the images position within its frame.  It uses a formula to determine the exact position relative to the containing frames position.  This is why you will see the calculations to determine the geometric bounds.
    Here is the result of the script using InDesign Server CS3, notice the position of the image based on the 'Direct Selection Tool' highlight area (this is the desired result):
    And, here is the result after running the script against InDesign Server CS4:
    As you can see the Image is placed at the lot left corrner of the frame which is wrong.  Any insight into the diffrences in the behavior would be appreciated.
    Thanks

  • How do I create a text style in CC libraries? Every time I drag and drop text into library form Photoshop or illustrator it turns it into a graphic.

    How do I create a text style in CC libraries? Every time I drag and drop text into library form Photoshop or illustrator it turns it into a graphic.
    If I select the text layer and click the text style button in the library it just creates a new text style for Myriad Pro 12pt - I'm not using that anywhere in my document.
    Can anyone help? Seems like a bug to me as I'm trying what the video tutorials are saying.

    I realize AI is an illustration program.
    Do you realize it is an object-based vector-based program? Do you know the difference between raster-based and vector-based content?
    My question seems to be all over the forum but no one has been able to answer other than exporting to these file formats, which make text look awful and of no use....
    And yet everyone else in the world makes proper web images every day using a plethora of programs, including these...go figure.
    Am I missing something?
    Yep. Pretty much.
    Hello Adobe! People use transparency on website logos.
    Hello, cocteau! What you're calling "transparency" is inherent to object-based vector artwork. But web browsers don't support object-based vector artwork, except via file formats like Flash and SVG, or by viewing as a PDF in a plug-in version of Reader. Raster imaging in general only supports "transparency" by either indexing a specific color (i.e.; "don't display this color", as in GIF) or including an alpha channel (i.e.; "blend all the pixels with existing pixels, based on values from this extra channel", as in PNG). It's all in the raster file format you use, cocteau; it has little-to-nothing to do specifically with Adobe software. Such things are among the most basic matters understood by someone doing web design.
    When I export an eps from .ai file, and open the eps in photoshop,...I save as a gif for the web, it goes back to the original problem...creates jagged text. I"m giving up on this garbage...Thanks a lot adobe! Lower the price of this software if this is all that can be done.
    Once it leaves Photoshop (or Illustrator, or whatever) as a non-proprietary raster image format, it's all about what the format can do re "transparency". You can do this stuff with most any graphics program. You should read about basic web design and the differences between raster and vector content, rather than rant.

    Thanks for any advice!!!

    Anything you have that is powerpc code only will not run on a new machine.  OS X 10.8 has no support for powerpc code (universal binary programs should be fine).
    Other than that warning, without knowing exactly what programs you have, and what version you are on, it is hard to say whay will or will not migrate alright.
    you might need to do some web searching and check apps at sites like roaringapps or on the programs Company web site.

    Please help. I think I just bricked my own phone. Despite worries after reading all of the rpoblems people have had upgrading their iphone to Ios 6, I used iteunes to do this to my iPhone 4. (I upgraded to the latest itunes.) Now after 1.5 hours of everything seeming to work OK, all I have is an Itunes graphic on my phone and nothing going on any more in Itunes. The phone doesn't shut down normally or anything. Suggestions? Should I just do a restore operation? I did back up my apps and pics.

    Thank you. I ended up performing the Restore after I did an Update, and performing the restore solved the problem----I now have a functioning iPhone with all of my data, pics, and apps on it. Fortunately I made sure that I backed up my iPhone before I tried to update to iOS6. Man, what a headache though, and it sounds like I had it easy compared to some other horror stories I've read. I won't update my iOS on my iPhone again; i've learned my lesson. It remains to be seen whether iOS6 will be worth it :-)

    Hi harrrrrsh,
    Here is a helpful guide on upgrading to Win 8.1. Your system hardware seems to meet the minimum requirements.
    Expand "Can my PC run Windows 8.1?" and navigate to the Win 8 Upgrade Assistant. Select run or save the Win 8 Upgrade Assistant to your desktop. Then run the upgrade assistant from the desktop for a detailed analysis of your PC and the steps needed to complete the upgrade.
    Upgrading from XP to Win 8.1 is a big move and you may have device driver problems. You may also have some issues migrating third party legacy software to the Win 8.1 installation.
    I have upgraded Win XP PC's to Win 7 with very few issues but have not moved an XP PC to Win 8.1.

    When I open Final Cut Pro, it says final cut pro requires you to have a quartz extreme graphics card. However, I have used the same thing for over a year already without any problems! Please help!
    It's an iMac 27inch quad core late 2009

    I bet you used Software update to download a few items recently (including a recent system update), and have not yet restarted your Mac. To confirm this, launch software update, and follow the instructions. Once you restart and the install completes, relaunch FCP, and you'll probably be good.
    (I just did that to myself the other day).
    Hope it helps!

    Today I stupidly tried to install CUDA accelerator forgetting I have Intel/AMD combo graphics card and not NVidia. Now when I try to launch AE or PremierePro I get this Last log message was: <140735120521568> <GPUManager> <2> Sniffer Result Code: 3.  I have trashed the CUDA program and reinstalled Premiere and AE but no joy.  Same message followed by another error box with options to Retry, Send to Apple or ignore.  I have tried all 3 options but nothing works!  Every time I launch either program same message appears.
