Prevent embedding text into an image from imported .AI

Hi,
First of all, i would like to warn you that i'm just learning indesign so i apologize beforehand for any stupid thing i say.
Anyways, i'm trying to import a file made in Illustrator. Long story short, this file has a lot of text in it and a lot of images, so when i try to import it to indesign, it embeds the whole .AI file and i end up with an image. i would like to know if there's a way to import this .AI file without having to embed it, because i would like to make an e-pub and the text must be editable.
I've already tried copy pasting, drag and dropping and using the "place" command", but all of them give me the same result.
thanks in advance for the help!

Thanks so much, but I figured it out. It was a text wrap problem. I checked the no text wrap box and it worked. I appreciate your response.

  • Exporting text as an image from Photoshop

    I am using a non web safe font and so I am exporting the body of text as an image from Photoshop. Canvas size 900 x 600 pix 72 dpi.  However when viewing in the web browser the text looks soft and pixelated.  
    Does anybody know how I can solve this?   All I want is sharp lookinh text!

    Hi Vikas
    I export files from Photoshop as png's at 72 dpi.  
    Here is our current holding page.  http://www.iheartmylife.co.uk/ All the text on this page has been loaded in as png's from Photoshop along with the image. As you can see none of it is as sharp as it could be.
    Many thanks for your assistance.

  • Import text into a form from a tab delimited file using an action

    Good evening.
    I am using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro
    I have been working all weekend so far on this, and have tried many options.
    What I am wanting is to import a line of data from an excel file into a form, save the file with a name drived from the form fields, close the new file, then go back to the original file, import a line of data, and so on and so on.
    I had all of this working in livecyle with a tool, but now that we are going to Windows 8 and Microsoft Office 2013, the driver that I need to load the excel file into the form is not available--so now I have to redo the forms in Adobe and import using a tab delimited file.
    I would like to do this with an action.
    Thus far, I have the following.
    **Credit goes to George Johnson who helped me with the script to save the file using field names a few months ago**
    To start, I have a folder level script
    mySaveAs = app.trustPropagatorFunction(function(doc,path)
    app.beginPriv();
    var myDoc = event.target;
    myDoc.saveAs(path);
    app.endPriv();
    myTrustedSpecialTaskFunc = app.trustedFunction(function(doc,path)
    //privileged and/or non-privileged code above
    app.beginPriv();
    mySaveAs(doc, path);
    app.endPriv
    //Privileged and/or non-privileged code below
    For the Action, I start with the Form file loaded
    Then I execute a javascript to import the text into the file.
    this.importTextData("/c/data/clerical.txt");
    The next step is to save the file using field names as part of the file name
    --credit goes to George Johnson who assisted me with this on a similar project a few months ago.
    //Get the Field Value
    var fn=getField("Last").valueAsString + "-" + getField("First").valueAsString;
    //Specify the folder
    var fldr = "/c/data/";
    //Determine the full path
    var fp=fldr + fn + ".pdf";
    //save the file
    myTrustedSpecialTaskFunc(this, fp);
    That is as far as I have gotten. 
    What I want to do now is load the original form file, import the next line into the form, save the file, repeat.
    If anyone could assist me, I would greatly appreciate it.
    **note  I had to type this from my I-pad because I kept getting kicked off the internet from my computer.  I hope my code is typed correctly.

    George
    Thank you so much for your response.
    Yes--there are multiple lines in the data file--it will vary from month to month.  It looks like from what you are saying is that I need to do the global variable since it will constantly change, and then increment it as it goes through the text file.  When it reaches the end, then it will stop.
    I looked at the following links--but this is from Adobe 9 API--I don't know if things have changed with XI--especially since 9 used batch processing and XI has actions.

  • How to insert text into sqlite database from AutoCompleteTextField

    You can use SSIS package for that
    Start a new Integration Services project in Business  Intelligence Development Studio/ SSDT. Add a new SSIS package with a data flow task. Add a OLEDB source to connect to Oracle server and add a OLEDB Destination to connect to your local database.
    Select tables for source and destination. On executing package source data will get transferred to your local database.

  • Why does "prepare for web publishing" turn text into an image?

    I have to prepare some supplied print PDFs for use on the web. I used to use "Reduce file size."
    With the new Acrobat, I use "prepare for web publishing". But when I use "prepare for web publishing", all the vector text in my document gets turned into a low-res image.
    Why would this be the case, and please tell me I can turn it off?
    Thank you!

    I'm just guessing here but could it be that the text is not a typical web-safe font? If not, I could see why it does that to preserve the appearance of the document for those that don't have the proper fonts installed.

  • Is it possible to include text over an image from i-photo?

    I wish to overlay one of my images with a caption but have no idea of what I would initially have to do with the original image to get to the stage of including text/wordart etc. Can anyone help?

    You'll need an external editor for work like that.
    In order of price here are some suggestions:
    Seashore (free)
    The Gimp (free)
    Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
    Acorn ($50 approx)
    Pixelmator ($50 approx)
    Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
    There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate. You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

  • Protect a portion of the text in a PDF from scrapers

    Hi,
    I'm  hoping someone can help me. I have access to Adobe CC - I  have been learning InDesign and Acrobat and Photoshop.
    Does anyone know if there is a way to protect only a portion of a PDF - just a selection of text - from scrapers? I want to post a PDF I created online, but I don't want the phone number and email address in it to be scraped by telemarketers etc...
    In other words, do you know if there's a way to either:
    1) In a PDF, turn text into an image so it can't be copied like text - i.e. so if I post it online the phone number and email address can't be indexed by google or scraped by a telemarketer? or
    2) In a PDF, put some kind of copy protection on just the phone number and email address, so just that portion of the PDF can't be indexed or scraped?
    Thanks

    Several years ago Google began to OCR images it found in PDFs so that any text they may contain could be searched and indexed, so I don't think using images is a guaranteed way to prevent this. You can try setting security so that content extraction is not allowed, but there's no guarantee that this restriction will be honored by non-Adobe software that attempts the extraction.
    You could add buttons/links that when clicked will reveal the information you want to hide, either as pop-ups or previously hidden/blank form fields, or use JavaScript to show the information automatically when a document is opened. This would prevent most attempts at automated methods of data extraction, but adds a bit of complication in preparing the document for use.

  • Text block as image -- should I care?

    It was pointed out to me that most of the text on my site is an image, rather than lines of text. All of the text on my site was typed onto the site into text blocks, and none of it was cut and pasted. I did use Garamond for the font.
    A few threads have covered this topic, which I have read.
    Two of those blocks of text-as-image are on my home page and the text in those blocks appears in Google (on the listing of the site on the first "search result" -- or whatever it is called -- page).
    Doesn't this mean that the text in those "text-as-image blocks" (sorry for all the quote marks, but I don't know the real names of these things) are indeed searchable by google, even if they are images rather than lines of text?
    I have tried cutting and pasting the text into TextEdit and then repasting the text back but that didn't solve the problem.
    So:
    1. Does any of this really matter to the search engines and the ability of people to find text on my pages? Or for some weird reason does the home page act differently than the other pages?
    2. Does anyone have a consistent solution to this problem?
    3. Is this something that Apple may think significant enough to have already fixed for the next version -- which I hope is out in a couple of months?
    But mainly, should I even care?
    Thanks!
    Mark

    1. Does any of this really matter to the search
    engines and the ability of people to find text on my
    pages? Or for some weird reason does the home page
    act differently than the other pages?
    No and no. It sounds like your page is already coming up in the search results...graphic or text? It doesn't matter.
    2. Does anyone have a consistent solution to this
    problem?
    Not sure that it is a problem that needs fixing.
    3. Is this something that Apple may think
    significant enough to have already fixed for the next
    version -- which I hope is out in a couple of
    months?
    Again, I doubt that Apple sees it as a problem. iWeb converts text into an image for a reason.... your happiness. Most people would probably want to have a webpage that looks the way it is supposed to look (the way they want it to look). Most people probably don't care about text converted to image as long as it looks the way they expect it to look. This is why iWeb does the text to graphic conversion....to ensure uniform and consistent rendering of the text on the page. I think many, many more people would be upset if iWeb allowed them to put different fonts and text effects on a page and then left it up to a browser to determine how those fonts and effects were to be rendered.
    But mainly, should I even care?
    I think in the grand scheme of things, you shouldn't care. But that's just my humble opinion.

  • How to enter text into text box in Pages '09

    When I manually select a text boxes in Pages, I can paste text into them. I can move from text box to text box using System Events to keystroke tabs but have not figured out how to get Applescript Editor to make the pastes. I am trying to use Applescript Editor to enter text into a pages document that is formatted for labels.

    I have downloaded template U-0089-02_P.doc from Avery, 14 boxes displayed in two columns of seven rows.
    Once you have clicked in the upper left box, the following script should enter text into every box, from left to right and top to bottom.
    tell application "Pages"
    activate
    tell application "System Events"
    keystroke "Box 1"
    keystroke tab & tab -- to go to the next column
    keystroke "Box 2"
    keystroke tab -- to go to the next row
    keystroke "Box 3"
    keystroke tab & tab
    -- and so on
    end tell
    end tell
    The problem is that I don't know how to enter the upper left box from the AppleScript Editor.

  • Is it possible to move text inside an image in dreamweaver cs4?

    Hello, on a site I'm working on, I want a consistant background logo. I already have my heading, and I just want to move the heading text into the image. Is there any way to do this?
    A quick response would be great.
    -Dimitri

    There are a few ways to do it, without seeing a link to your page, it's hard to give you exactly what you need, but you can turn the logo into a background image of a <div> then use standard html text to write over the top of it. Something like this...
    In your css, add...
    #logo {
         background-image:url(yourimage.jpg);
    Then in your html, add...
    <div id="logo>Your text here</div>

  • Uploading my site to Adobe Business Catalyst and I noticed that it turns all my text into images? Why does it do that and is there a way to prevent it from happening?

    I don't mind that Muse does this upon uploading my website, but once my text becomes an image on my site, it creates a light halo around my text making it fuzzy. Is there a way to prevent Muse from changing my text into images?

    Hello,
    I believe you are using System fonts for the text in the site. I would suggest you to use either Web safe fonts or use self hosted font options.
    Please refer to the links below to understand how to work with them.

  • When I import or drag/drop an image from Finder into Pages, it floats the image instead of keeping it inline with text

    I'm new to Pages and I've searched online for an answer to this question but haven't found anything quite what I need.
    When I import an image from Finder (or drag and drop from Finder) into Pages, the Text Wrap default is "automatic" which seems to be "in front of text." I have to manually click each image and then change it from "Automatic" to "Inline With Text." Is there a way to change the default so it's not "Automatic" but "Inline With Text" to save me these steps for every single image I import?
    (If importing from Media Browser would behave differently, I don't use iPhoto except for Photo Stream so I need to bring them in from where I've saved them in my Finder.)
    Thanks so much for any help!

    Good questions...  I'll have to try and figure out when the problem first happened - I was thinking it was when I upgraded to Safari 5.1.4 but that might not be the case...  I'll try your suggestions to see if any of them eliminate the problem (I have restarted recenlty and that didn't fix it) but I'll try repairing permissions,etc.  Thanks!
    hmmm... Mcbuffy: are you implying that you *don't* get the webloc when dragging an image out of Safari and that this isn't a caused by change to Safari but is a big/conflict in mine?

  • I had all photos on a Windows desktop.  Got a mac laptop, installed LR5, and put all images from Windows onto an external hard drive.  When I go to import them into LR on the Mac, they are all locked.  Help, please.  Thanks

    I had all photos on a Windows desktop.  Got a mac laptop, installed LR5, and put all images from Windows onto an external hard drive.  When I go to import them into LR on the mac, they are all locked.  Help, please!

    "I plugged the external into the Mac and moved a folder of images onto the desktop.  It looks like it went from read only to not locked.  Is this possible?"
    Yes, that's exactly what happened. If you buy another drive, you could copy from your existing drive to the new and your files will be read/write. The new drive will have to be formatted as an HFS drive (that's the Mac's format). If you need to format it, you use Disk Utility which is in the Utilities folder on your Mac. Be careful with that -- it wipes out whatever is currently on the drive. Make sure you format the right drive.
    I keep all my images on an external drive, too. In fact, I have two matching drives and sync them so I always have a backup.

    Same here. I've never had trouble with this function before.
    It opens the Photoshop application with all the menus/windows, but it never opens the actual image I chose to work on.
    I'm on a Mac, using OS X Yosemite, 10.10.1  Lightroom is version 5.7  Photoshop is CS5, version 12.0.4
    FWIW, I also can't automate>Photomerge ... . Makes me think Photoshop, not Lightroom, is all wacky. I tried dumping PS preferences
