Problems with JPGs that have been exported from InDesign

I have used InDesign CS4 for years and recently been upgraded to the Creative Cloud package, I have gone from a PC to a MAC as well.
The problem seems to be when I export a document in InDesign to a JPG file, when I try and use the JPG in other applications such as Powerpoint (for the Mac), the jpg isn't highlighted as an option to insert...like it hasn't been recognised.
I also recently had a problem uploading some jpg photos I had edited and exported to jpg and tried to upload to Snapfish and although I have done this many times before, it said my jpg file was corrupt.
No virus, or anything like that.
Does anyone know whether you can tweak the 'export' settings for indesign, I wondered if it was a compatibility issue?
Anyone help me?
Thanks

Well of course, there are the settings in InDesign's JPEG Export dialog, but there, all you can really do is make sure you're writing a "baseline" JPG in RGB mode. (Disclaimer: I haven't seen the 'CC' dialog, so there may be more about which I'm unaware.)
...when I try and use the JPG in other applications such as Powerpoint (for the Mac), the jpg isn't highlighted as an option to insert...like it hasn't been recognised.
That sounds like it could be a Microsoft Office issue. Can you insert a JPG that isn't the product of InDesign export? This is also why I mentioned RGB. I've seen Office apps choke on or ignore CMYK JPG's.
The number of posts in this forum on the subject of InDesign's JPEG export is unsettling to me. I truly believe it's a case of "Just because you can doesn't mean you should." Maybe I was "raised differently," figuratively speaking, but it would have never occurred to me to develop a workflow around the regular/routine export of raster images from my page layout application. If JPEG is my intended output, InDesign is the last application I'd reach for, perhaps unless I had a rare and specific need of a raster image depicting an InDesign-originated page layout. But even then, chances are I'd export from InDesign to PDF, then rasterize that by opening in Photoshop. If you need full control over raster image output, Photoshop is the much better bet.

  • Printing a PDF file that has been exported from InDesign

    Hello! I exported a file from InDEsign to a PDF, but the entire document doesn't print... it get's cut off 3/4 down the way. My page size in InDesign is 5in x 7in and so is my page set-up in PDF when I go to print but it still gets cut-off.

    The physical paper you're printing onto - is it  5 x 7 or lettersize/A4
    If you are printing 5 x 7 image area to a 5 x 7 sheet of paper, you would need a printer capable of boarderless printing. In general, no printing equipment can print to the edges of a sheet, and all vary by different amounts; inkjets having the largest non-print area.

  • Is there any easier way to edit imovie files that have been exported as mov file then added to FCE 4?? As every move I make has to be rendered and takes forever??? Also my recording is going out of focus without me touching the camera, why has this happen

    Is there any easier way to edit imovie files that have been exported as mov file then added to FCE 4?? As every move I make has to be rendered and takes forever??? Also my recording is going out of focus without me touching the camera, why has this happened any idea what causes this??

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

    And maybe you don't talk to too many people but I've been on many forums on different websites where people have had similar problems and a lot of people in the store were having battery problems where they were draining too fast. What I learned is that all the people who did not download the updates are good. There phone is working the same. The people who have, they're having battery problems
    I have downloaded every update and my battery life is better than any previous iPhone I have ever owned. I see posts from hundreds of people every day, and this is not a commonly reported problem. While there are a few random reports of battery problems, it is no more than I have seen for any other model or any other version of iOS in almost 8 years. Usually problems of rapid battery drain can be traced to bad apps (FaceBook is the worst offender) or corrupt data being synced from iCloud or other sources (gmail, Windows Live, Yahoo, etc).
    The simple test is to restore the phone as New. Do not create any email accounts. Do not install any apps. Do not enable FaceTime or iMessage. Do not enable Twitter or any other social networking app. Use it for a day and check the battery usage. You will find that it is working well.
    And also see this: http://www.overthought.org/blog/2014/the-ultimate-guide-to-solving-ios-battery-d rain. It is the best treatise I have seen on the subject of battery usage.

    If photos were synced from your computer then they can't be deleted directly on the iPad, you will need to remove/de-select them from where you synced it from on your computer and re-sync.

    Using Mail under iOS, 5 Mail continues to suggest addresses that have been removed from Contacts. How do I remove old, obsolete adreesses no longer in Contacts?

    If you open Mail and then in its File menu at the top, click on Window and choose Previous Recipients, you'll get a popup window listing them. At that point, you can highlight and delete any/all.

  • Automatically mark images that have been exported

    Hi,
    i really wished LR had a seperate flag for images that have been exported yet. It would be perfect if LR would set that flag automatically when an image has been exported. Just like in RSP.
    An oh, speaking about Rawshooter Premium, we need a REAL BACKGROUND EXPORT STACK just like in RSP.
    Fred

    @ DW Harrison
    It should simply be a visual hint (in the grid mode especially. could be a star or just an icon) that reminds you which images (of a collection) have already been exported - in whatever format.
    @Grafin
    In fact i _do_ use a color code for this purpose, but it would be nicer if it gets set automatically by LR, not manually my me.
    Regards,
    Fred

  • Getting letters for items that have been removed from my credit report

    I have gotten several credit cards in the past month as I have been working on rebuilding my credit. Over the past few weeks I have been receiving letters from collection agencies for items that have been removed from my credit report. Has anyone else had this issue? Should I just throw this stuff away since it's not longer being reported on my credit report and the collections are so old they've been removed from the report? I am freaking out a bit. Any advice is welcome.

    They were removed because they are over 8 years old.They can still try to collect, they just cannot place it on your reports. If its also beyond SOL in your state, you have to option to sent them a Cease Communications letter, charmingly refferred to as a FOAD letter. (Google it to find the meaning of that acronym).They will just sell it to another JDB, who may send you another collection notice. Keep all correspondence regarding this debt in order to keep track of it. You also have the option to settle it for a small percentage - I would suggest offering no more than 5-10% of the original amount (not some inflated "new balance"), and in your offer letter refer to it as "old, time barred debt, that is not a current financial obligation" but that you are willing to settle only to close out the account.

  • Why is QT not playing my movies which have been exported from FCPX?

    Nov 11, 2012 1:07 AM Hello there. I have posted this post in Mac intel forums but have been redirected to post this post in FCPX forums and hence I am posting this thread here. Hope I will be given the proper answer to my problem/s which seem to be growing day after day. 
    I hope this is the right forum to place this post.
    I have been facing this problem for the past 2 days only and I remember it all started after I had exported my latest project in FCPX. The exported file would not open up in quicktime player, and I started getting this notice even with other movies which were exported earlier and were being played by QT with no problem.
    The screenshot given above came with with a movie I had exported about 2 months ago. At that time QT had no problem in playing it. But now, Why is it not able to play the same?
    FYI, the latest project I had exported was started in fcpx 10-0-5 version and I had upgraded to the latest 10-0-6 version while the project was yet unfinished.
    Apart from this problem, a number of other problems also have simulataneously raised their heads: FCPX is not opening up: stating that there is a corrupt data base which has to either restored or moved. And, when I try to move or delete the corrupt files via finder, I am not being allowed to delete them...error code -50 being the 'culprit'.
    I am growing faint with all these malfunctioning and am in a perplexity of what to do next!
    Any helps or guidance will be deeply appreciated.
    Thanks. Take care.

    Hello, hello, hello to one and all! Both the goose and Karsten's horse have been resurrected. HO HO HO am I on the top of the world. I feel that in asingle moment I have been transferred from the depths of the Dead sea to the top of Mount Everest!
    What seemed to have worked is this:
    I selected one QT movie which was not being opened and subjected it to PMan which did a rebuild and created an new repaired movie. I played it on QT and to my pleasant surprise it opened and I could watch the movie. There was one movie which was not being played in QT. I attempted to repair the same with Pman, but received a notice that it could'nt. It was not an important one and so I deleted the same. I tried playing other movies and found out that QT was playing the other exported movies which it was not opening earlier. Next, before opening FCPX  I first opened the final cut events and deleted, or rather, was able to delete one particular event which I had been suspecting to be the cause of all these malfunctions: it was a still image captured on my daughter's Galaxy and she had sent the same to me via email a few days ago. I had imported the pic. into an event. When FCPX began its refusal to start misbehavior, it blamed this pic as one of the corrupt files which had to be restored or moved. Deleting this pic resulted in the resurrection of my works and I am taking no more chances in this matter. Right now I am in the process of duplicating completed projects on my scratch drive and archiving them in a different drive. I am duplicating them only with the used clips. Guess if any further clips are needed while rediting the work later, I could always import fresh clips into the event.
    Thanks to all of you who have been helping me out in this thread. Any guidance as to how to avoit getting into this unpleasant situation will be received with attentive ears.
