Problems importing images or text via "place" in inDesign CC 2014

I just installed inDesign CC 2014 on my new iMac. I have a major problem when trying to "place" objects/text files in a document. It takes 30 seconds to 2 minutes or more to populate each and every window on the path to the file I need. What is this? Is this a known issue?

I posted this on the forum page thread:
To "populate each window" : after hitting the "place" command keys (cmd+d) on the mac, the window that opens is EMPTY of files and folders. The delay is several minutes now, also on every subsequent window down the path to the actual file that I want to import. Meanwhile, these files are immediately visible in the finder windows when clicking on the desktop. My OX is Yosemite 10.10.1. This lag happens before getting to the stage of seeing the miniature in the mouse pointer.
Is this a known issue in the new CC inDesign 2014? Is Adobe aware of it?

How to import images from web via CSV in Indesign CS4?

Hi,
I am using Indesign CS4 and i want to import pictures from my homepage.
I have a CSV export from a database with products and the url to the
product picture. I want to import the information for the products and
the picture via data merge. I added the @ in the name of the column
where the url to the pictures is. Everything works perfect when I use
a lokal path, but I need to get the pictures from the website.
Is it possible to import pictures from a website via CSV data merge?
What steps are needed for that?
Would be great if you could help me.
Best Regards.

thank you all for your answers, that was what i thought.
yes, it starts with http://domainnaime.... it's from an extern webspace
then i will backup all pictures and put them in the local network and try over ip-address if that also won't work then I'll copy then locally
altough, it would be great if it works via ip-address

Problems importing images into Livecycle Designer 8.0

Hello all,
Recently, I have been having problems importing images into the livecycle forms. I put in the image field and link the image but it would just show a broken link symbol. i usually edit the image in photoshop and save as a jpeg. I can't figure out why Livecycle takes some images but not others.
Please help anyone

Never mind, I figured it out, have to save files in RGB format, not CMYK

Problem with images and text displaying correctly

I don't really know how to explain this problem and I had two screenshots ready to upload to show the before and after but we apparently can't upload photos now...SOOOO I will try my best.
The issue began when I got a new computer at work (Windows 7 instead the Windows XP everyone else has) and was/is present for me in InDesign CS2 and since we were planning on updating to CS5, I figured that having an updated version would fix whatever issue it was. That was a wrong assumption unfortunately.
When I open any document, all images and text are displayed properly until I scroll up/down or side-to-side and NOT using the scroll wheel for up/down. This is probably so confusing and I'm sorry I can't describe it better...the mouse I use has two programmable buttons that I set to coast up and down and to go side-to-side I can push the scroll wheel to one side or the other and it coasts that direction. When I do either of those things, the text looks like it is permanently greeked and the images look....weird lol like they are in 16 bit or something like that. To fix the problem in CS2, I have to click and hold on a text block until I am able to adjust text so that I can see it adjust in real-time. In CS5, I have to do the same basic thing except I don't have to click and hold as it does that by default (awesome feature btw!!)
I have already updated my graphics card driver (Nvidia 9400 GT 1GB) and my processor driver (Intel Core2Duo 3.0ghz) and I have 4GB of RAM. I tried updating both CS2 and CS5 but both are updated already. I've also tried doing the whole inx. export and cleaning the preferences file or whatever that is called. Nada. If someone thinks they can help me, I can send them the two images I was going to upload here. Email me at justgeig (at) gmail (dot) com Thanks in advance!

maybe greeked isn't the right word...i don't know how to explain it
here is the correct view. It is much more noticable when the whole document shows this.

Importing images with text into Final cut pro

I'm using FC Studio on a 15" Powerbook 1.67 GHZ 1.5 GB RAM OSX 10.4.9 with a 300GB external HD.
I'm editing a short film and am using some still images. I've successfully imported and used photographs edited in photoshop. I'm trying to import what is essentially a screen shot of a MSword Doc consisting of boxes, text and graphics.
I've exported the word doc to PDF and imported to photoshop with 300dpi and saved as both jpeg and png. When viewed in photoshop the resolution of the text appears normal. It imports sucessfully but when viewed in full size in the timeline or external monitor the resolution of the text is terrible. I've also tried adjusting the scale of the image in the Canvas.
I've read up on this issue a little and have tried reducing and increased the image size and dpi. Has anyone else tried to import still images with text??
I apolgise if this issue has already been addressed - I've tried using the solutions provided for still images (without text) but have come up against a wall!
I would appreciate any help or feedback!

I have used Adobe Illustrator saved out as.png with great results.
Larry jordan has good info for you here;

Difference between importing images from iphoto via drag & drop vs 'media' button

Hi (long time reader of this community, but my first post),
i'm creating a huge document (approximately 200 pages) in Pages (5.0.1, Using Maverick on a 27 inch iMac).
In the new version of Pages the "Media" button only produces small images that makes it difficult for me to choose which photo i want.
Is there a difference between importing images from iphoto drag & drop vs 'media' button.
Or is it better to just drag and drop the original jpegs (which i also have in a folder).
Is Pages the best program to use for this type of project? it is a profolio with about 4 photos, text, text boxes etc on each of the 200+ pages.
any help much appreciated.

Pages 4.3 might be up to the job. I very much doubt Page 5.0.1 is. It lacks more than 90 features of its predecessor and is very buggy to boot. You probably have an iwork09 folder in your Applications folder. I suggest you trash Pages 5.0.1 and use Pages 4.3 until Apple makestheir new "Eddie Cue" ready for prime time (if, that is, they ever do).

How to send files like audio,video,images and text via RMI..

Hi everyone,
As I am working under a project, my own, of creating a chat machine, I've thought to make it capable of doing everything that MSN or yahoo MSN can do. Till now I've just been able to send messages and some small icons as expressions. So, my next step will be making my progam able to send even other files like audio, video, images and text to the person on the other machine to whom I'm chatting. But as I don't have any idea on how to start doing it, I want anyone who think he/she can help me to give me the basic logic that is used to do so. I would very much appreciate it. I've used vectors to store the text messages which is visible to all the users using the chat program enabling them to see various messages in it.
thank you...

Hi,
Now, I got stuck because the code doesn't seem to work well. For large files with around 40 mb or more size couldn't be sent. I have constructed the code, just rough sketch, as follows:
** In the Server Implementation class I've used FileInputStream to read the contents of a file that is sent as an argument to the method.
** Similarly, in the client side I've used RandomAccessFile to save the received array of bytes.
public void sendFile(File f)
   ChatServer cs=(ChatServer)Naming.lookup("rmi://localhost/ChatServer");
   cs.readsAndStoreTheFileInTheServer(f); // In the Server Implementation the contents of the file is read and saved in an array of byte. later method is invoked by the client to get the array of the saved byte.
   cs.message("-Accept-"); // When a client receives this word then a JComponent with accept and cancel button will be constructed from where other clients can save/cancel the sent file.
}For small size files this code works well but for files more than 40 mb of size it is useless. I wonder if there's any other alternative.
regards,
Jay

Importing Image Trace from Illustrator CC to InDesign CC

I am using InDesign CC trying to import image traced objects from Illustrator. I did this once successfully, but now when I try to paste the object into indesign, it says: "This command would create a large number of page items and would severely degrade performance. Data will be placed as embedded EPS. Then the image becomes very low res and I cannot work with it. How can I bring in the image with outlines to be able to manipulate the image? Thanks.

You would need to simplify the paths, or paste them in small groups.

Problem with importing images shifting text

Hi,
I custom designed a heading and menu on a blank page, and then I added images for a slide show (hyperlinked each one with next previous). My logo or heading is in the exact same place but when you go from one page to the next it giggles/or looks like it's shifting (this looks horrible when you are going through the images). The images are PNG and not very big in size (approx. 380 pixels by 580 at 72 DPI). The text shifting problem does not happen if the images are shrunk or kept at a really small size. I've tried everything I can think of and it def. has to do with the images being a certain size, but it does not make sense as I should be able to work with images that are this size -- they are not even very big to begin with! Any help would be so greatly appreciated. THanks!
Best,
Corinne

you appear to be a mac genius
Thanks for the compliment but mostly I just regurgitate what I've learned here. Regarding the image size I don't think you need to do anything. The only set of photos that are jpgs and can be downloaded are those in the Mollen and Drew section. The rest of them are java based and cannot be downloaded, only obtained via a screen capture. I don't know what you did differently for Mollen and Drew's page but it is different from all the others in that first gallery. However, the other pages can take the view to the overall gallery were the links to Blank # are visible. The few pages I visited of those, Blank 34 and 41 had jpgs for the large view that could be downloaded. Is that what you want? If so you might consider putting a watermark on the photos. This example was done with Photoshop but there are 3rd party applications that can automate the process, putting any text or icon on the photo in the location of your choice. iWatermark is just one of several. You can find them at VersonTracker.com.
The current iWeb converts the photos to 800 x 600 and uses java for the slideshow and gallery. This makes it more difficult to download a photo. A viewer would have to make a screenshot of it in order to get a copy.
Of the five one your gallery page only Mollen and Drew are of the type of page that has jpgs as the larger image. How was that page created as opposed to the one for Georgeen and Tobias. They are two different types of photo/slideshow pages.

Problem importing image bet InDesign/ Photoshop

I hope I can articulate this well enough.
I'm taking an image from an InDesign document, editing it in Photoshop, then dropping it back in InDesign.
The image is perfectly fine in InDesign, and it seems to be fine in PhotoShop. However, once I edit it and drop it back in InDesign, that's where the problem occurs. The photo now has the white background attached to it, which screws with the background in InDesign. While in Photosho, it appears to not have a background (selecting the entire image correctly only highlights the image itself and none of the background). Does anyone know how I can import it back into InDesign without gaining the white rectangular background?
Many thanks!

How are you getting the image from InDesign and into Photoshop? How did you get the image into InDesign in the first place? Is the image linked or embedded?
Basically, you're doing it the wrong way. You start with a Photoshop file, save it, then File > Place the inGe into InDesign, linking to the Photoshop file. You edit the image by editing the Photoshop file which, being lnked in InDesign, is updated on the fly.

Problem importing images into RoboHelp 10 from FM 11

I am using Adobe TCS4, on Win XP SP3, to import or link structured FrameMaker 11 books and documents into RoboHelp 10. Our default graphics types are generally eps and tiff images, in anchored frames and imported by reference into FrameMaker, and FrameMaker equations. When I import a FM document into RoboHelp, things appear reasonably correct, equations are converted to jpegs, but the other images typically do not appear. Instead, blank images are created in the appropriate size, and named <docname>00001.jpg, etc, where <docname> is the original FrameMaker document name.
During import, the Images portion of the FrameMaker conversion settings list "Use Distiller to Generate Image". If this box is checked, RoboHelp nearly always crashes when there are non-equation images in the file. If that setting is unchecked, the import generally completes, but the images, except for equations, are not imported. Remarkably, occasionally one or a few of the correct images doappear in the RoboHelp html; in these cases, it is usually one or more tiff images that have somehow been successfully converted to jpeg; but the majority of images are not converted.
I have tried a few other things, without success. For example, I have replaced all the images in the Framemaker document with jpeg images, then imported into RoboHelp, but the results are the same, with empty renamed images created, and original images not imported. I have also tried reducing the image sizes in the Framemaker to the exact size size required in the output; in other words, so images appear at 100% size in Framemaker. This approach also has not been successful. I have also tried importing to another format in RoboHelp, such as png, with no success.
I have had some occasional success, for example rare occasions when one or two images appear in the RoboHelp html, and a single case in which nearly all of the graphics imported correctly. That FM document is somewhat different from the others because nearly all of the referenced images in FrameMaker were PDF. The successfully imported PDFs were imported into RH as jpegs of the same name. The only files that failed to import were a few eps files which were imported as blank images named aqccording to the <docname>0001.jpg scheme.
Aside from converting all of my images to PDF, and modifying documents accordingly, I have run out of things to try. So, I was hoping to get some advise:
1) Is there another approach I can try?
2) Should I uninstall and reinstall TCS4?
3) Is there an import log that could tell me the mapping of FrameMaker image name to RoboHelp image name, for example: fm0201.tif > <docname>00001.jpg? At least then I could use that list to manually import the appropriate jpgs into Robohelp.
4) Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
5) What is it with the constant crashes when "Use Distiller to Generate Image" is checked. In these cases, Distiller keeps chugging away, producing images, until RoboHelp crashes.
Thanks very much, I appreciate any suggestions.
Chris McCauley

I remember reading that document on images, parts 1 and 2, I think, but did not find any solution to this issue there. I have seen your posts on the path length, and have tried to reduce them as much as possible by moving files close to the root directory. I continue to have issues with cross-references, but I have not spent much time yet in fully diagnosing that problem. I'm experienced with Framemaker for many years, and I'm beginning to feell familiar with many parts of RoboHelp, so I thoiught I'd try to knock these issues one at a time, in either order, actually. thanks for your suggestion.

Intermittent problems importing images into Captivate 5 from PowerPoint 2010 slides

Occasionally, when I import slides from a PowerPoint 2010 pptx file, certain of the images don't move over into captivate.
Most (if not all) of my images have been saved as .jpg files, so I don't believe that there would be problems with different file types. Some of the images may be saved at different quality levels; could this possibly affect the import process?
I can't identify what about these images somehow mark them as "different" to Captivate, and therefore prevents their importation.
Any help that can be provided is appreciated.

Hi Rahul,
I would but I am not the original poster. You will have to wait for JDPJDPJDPJDP to send you the file.

Problem importing images from CCO to WLSE 2.13.1

Hello,
I recently upgraded my WLSE Express from 2.13 to 2.13.1.
Now I have a problem with importing firmware images from cisco.com. Every time I get the following error:
Image download started for device type: BR1310 version: 12.3.11-JA1
Device type: BR1310, version: 12.3.11-JA1. Image import failed. Imported file is not a valid image.
Is there any workaround other then import it manually?
Thanks,
Peter

Most likely due to CSCee37875. Workaround is to use Import from Desktop instead, after downloading the image from CCO outside of WLSE.

Help problem importing image

i have imported an image using actionscript using urlrequest
heres ,my problem i have set its x and y bu the image is to big, i want to resize it, i have tried the height and widt but it doesnt work
what other can i use? tnx!

So when you load an image using Loader and URLRequest
var ldr:Loader= new Loader()
     ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onComplete)
ldr.load(new URLRequest("YOUR_IMAGE_HERE"))
addChild(ldr)
function onComplete(e:Event):void{
       ldr.height=    ldr.width=100
Strangely the loader is to be a proxy, yet is not a true proxy, therefore setting width and height can only be done after you have the item completely loaded

Problem importing images into Lightroom 5.6

I use an iMac 10.9.5. I've been importing CR2 files converting to DNG into Lightroom 5.6 with no problems.
Suddenly, files are taking an age to import and Lightroom hangs without loading all the files. I have to force quit Lightroom and then my computer hangs and won't shut down. I close by holding the button down on the back of the iMac. Then Lightroom fails to open. After many attempts I've managed to start Lighroom again but I still have the same problem loading the files. I have tried deleting the com.adobe.Lightroom5.plist file in the Preferences folder, as suggested on this forum but that hasn't cured the problem. I don't know whether this has caused a problem but I used a Transcend multi card reader for the first time this week instead of my usual reader. Perhaps there was some kind of issue with compatibility although there shouldn't have been. Now though, I can't upload from my old card reader properly either.
Any ideas?

Thanks for your reply dj..paige. It could have been the new card reader that caused the initial problem but I used more than one card so I don't think the card is the problem. The original reader wouldn't work either.
Update: Lightroom now seems to be back to normal. I don't know why but it seems to have sorted itself out. Perhaps deleting the com.adobe.Lightroom5.plist file in the Preferences folder had an effect after all, after a few attempts at opening and closing Lightroom.
I'm sending the Transcend multi card reader back for a refund as I'm sure this started the problem.
I've wasted two days sorting this - nightmare!
