Really wierd stains when inserting photoshop files into my indesign document

Dear Indesigners,
I had encountered this problem before. Then I exported the file as JPEG and printed from there on.
But now it really bothers me what adobe is doing.
I am creating a birthcard. There for I designed the background (in indesign with simple lines & circles). Photo with ribbon I designed in photoshop. The circle pattern around the picture is also in Indesign.
Whenever I print this file from indesign I get really wierd stains on my Photoshop part of the document. You can verify this in the attachment.
If I export this and print from there, the stains are nowhere to be seen.
Is this some weird setting that I have looked over? The Photoshop document is in CMYK format.
This is the export file:
This is the scanned, printed file (increased contrast)

Embedding SWF file into an Indesign document and later export as PDF

Hi to everybody,
I am searching now since 3 days for good solution of my problem. First I wanna tell you that the problem is not just to convert a swf-file into a pdf. I did this many times with all animations, page flip and stuff.My situation is the following:
I have varios catalogues with more or less 12 pages each in an indesign format. Now I created an animated scroll down menu, which appears on an "index-page". On the menu I created buttons. One button for each catalogue. So the idea of the whole thing is to open a document and an index page appears where you have the animated menu and you choose the catalogue you wanna see. Until here it is quite easy. I created a swf file of each catalogue with my animations (as the special page turnover e.g.). So that I just need von Object in with I can load the different swf-files of these catalogues. I already did the process. I linked the buttons to the different swf files and so. So the problem is now when it comes to convert the whole thing into a PDF. Of course I convert it first to swf and then to PDF. After converting it to swf it works 100% fine, but in PDF not, suddenly the swf-files of the catalogues disappear.
So the summary is, that I don't know how to embed swf files into an indesign document, creat buttons and interactions next to swf file, then save it to another swf, and then to a pdf without losing the first swf files within the pdf.
Hope I made my self clear would be too nice if someone could help me or if someone may have a better idea of realizing the whole project.

Jeffrey,
Thank you for the answer. As you have written:
I will also add that the ID's play mode contol [plays once] [repeat play] does not always control the file once in Acrobat.
I presume you mean version of ID older than CS4 or version of Acrobat Reader older than 9.1
It that is the case I will strongly recommend my visitors to upgrade to this version.
I hope that would work.
Thanks again.

Icon issues when embed pdf file into a word document

I recently updated my Acrobat Reader on my laptop with windows 2010 and no every time I need to embed a PDF file into a word document the ICON for the pdf file is not correct, I have to browse manually everytime and it is becoming very time consuming, specially when you need to embed large amount of documents.
This problem it only happens with PDF files, I uninstalled office and the adobe acrobat reader and the problem continues, according to Microsoft support the problem is not word but the Adobe Reader, I do not know what to do since I tried everything on the internet.
It looks to me that somehow when I updated my reader the link between the Reader and Office is broken and office is not correctly linked to the right folder were the PDF reader Icon is located.

You can rebuild the icon database on your windows Vista/Windows 7 system by doing this:
1) rename the hidden file named IconCache.db to IconCache-old.db. this file is hidden so you may need to unhide it. the file is in your profile folder <%userprofile%\AppData\Local> %userprofile% represents the path to user profile folder.
Now Close all folder windows that are currently open and follow these steps.
1. Launch Task Manager using the CTRL+SHIFT+ESC key sequence, or by running taskmgr.exe.
2. In the Process tab, right-click on the Explorer.exe process and select End Process.
3. Click the End process button when asked for confirmation.
4. From the File menu of Task Manager, select New Task (Run…)
5. Type EXPLORER.EXE, and click OK.
Hope this helps and let us know if it worked or not. If this doesn't work then File Association may be another method to try.
Good luck.

How to import multiple XML files into one inDesign document without copy/paste ?

I use InDesign CS6, and I have several XML files with the same structure. Only the data are different.
I created an Indesign layout with some tagged placeholder frames on merge mode, for automated layout.
Today for each XML file I have to create a new InDesign document to import the XML. Everything works fine. Then in order to have all Indesign layouts one after the other into a single Indesign layout, I have to use the copy/paste function.
I mean for example, copy the contents of all documents to the first one. Or add pages of other documents to the first one, then delete spaces between each page.
So my question is the following:
How to repeat this process without copy/paste function, knowing that the
number of XML files could be unknown.
Thank you very much for your answer.

Yes, effectively I would like to catalogue the files into one collection so i can save as one PDF and Print as one.:)
I know I could save each AI as a pdf them then merge the pdf's together in acrobat, but I have nearly 100 files so would feel more comfortable seeing them all together before print / saving.
My concern is that if I insert them in Ai, will the file resolution reduce? and will the ai still be editable and would it update the indesign file?
Thanks for the quick reply

When saving photoshop file in PDF, my document changes, how do I solve this?

Hello everybody,
Im trying to save my CS6 files as PDF documents. When I save my files as PDF some texts or images disappear or deform.
Is there anything i'm doing wrong?
Is there a setting I need to change for saving my files so they don't change?
Thank you for your help!

Hi,
Which operating system and version of photoshop cs6 are you using?
You can find out the exact photoshop cs6 version by going to Help>System Info from within photoshop and looking at the very first line that says Photoshop Version.

Place multiple PDF files (or a folder of PDF files) into one InDesign document

Hi,
I know there are several scripts to place multipage Pdf's in InDesign.
Based on those scripts I made one myself which places a PDF file with multiple pages as an InLine graphic where the name of the PDF file is inserted as a heading.
Works great. But when I want to import 20 PDF files I have to run that script 20 times which isn't handy.
So I'm looking for a way to choose a folder in which are several PDF-files that will be placed inside 1 ID doc.
Any suggestions?

Use .selectDlg():
function getPDFs(){
    var f = someFolder.selectDlg ('Select a folder')
    if (f != null){
        return f.getFiles('*.pdf');
    return [];

Is it possible to implement files into an InDesign document, that are exported from Flash?

I have worked with InDesign quite a lot, and now I'd like to make an eBook using the software. I don't know much about Adobe Flash, just starting to learn, and I'd like to know if there is a file format exported from Flash that can be used in an epub format document made with InDesign?
(I'm not sure if I gave the right definition of things but I hope you'll undersand.)
Thanks in advance,
Bibi

Hi Bibi,
the quick answer is no. You can place swf in InDesign and that will be honored during a interactive PDF-Output, but not with EPUB. If you try to get some animations to EPUB, you must use HTML5, CSS3 and Javascript. This can be done in InDesign CC with the help of Adobe Edge Animate.
But note: There is only a minor support for this feature for different devices.

Script for Place PDF file into a InDesign file

Hi everyone, i need to import a PDF file into a InDesign document and in order to do this i used scripts found over the net (e.g. Zanelli's script ecc.) but i tried this solution:
function(){
    app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.interactWithAll;
    var myDocument, myPage;
    if(app.documents.length != 0){
        myDocument = app.activeDocument;
    else{
        alert("No document opened");
        exit();
     if (app.selection[0] == undefined) {
        alert("Select box");
        exit();
     } else {
            var myPDFFile = File.openDialog("Select PDF:");
            if((myPDFFile != "")&&(myPDFFile != null)){
                myDocument.viewPreferences.rulerOrigin = RulerOrigin.PAGE_ORIGIN;
                myDocument.viewPreferences.horizontalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.MILLIMETERS;
                myDocument.viewPreferences.verticalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.MILLIMETERS;
                var myData = new Array;
                myData[0] = app.selection[0].parentPage;
                myData[1] = app.selection[0].geometricBounds;
                myData[2] = app.selection[0];
                myPlacePDF(myDocument, myData, myPDFFile);
    //FUNCTIONS
    function myPlacePDF(myDocument, myData, myPDFFile){
        var myPDFPage;
        var myPage = myData[0];
        var myGeometricBounds = myData[1].toString().split(",");
        app.pdfPlacePreferences.pdfCrop = PDFCrop.cropMedia;
        var myCounter = 1;
        var myBreak = false;
        while(myBreak == false){
            if(myCounter > 1){
                myPage = myDocument.pages.add(LocationOptions.after, myPage);
             app.pdfPlacePreferences.pageNumber = myCounter;
             myRectangle = myPage.rectangles.add(undefined, undefined, undefined, {geometricBounds:[myGeometricBounds[0],myGeometricBounds[1],myGeometricBounds[2],myGeometricBounds[3]]});
             myRectangle.clearFrameFittingOptions();
             myRectangle.frameFittingOptions.fittingOnEmptyFrame = EmptyFrameFittingOptions.PROPORTIONALLY;
             myRectangle.frameFittingOptions.autoFit = true;
             myRectangle.frameFittingOptions.fittingAlignment = AnchorPoint.CENTER_ANCHOR;
             myPDFPage = myRectangle.place(File(myPDFFile), false)[0];
             if(myCounter == 1){
                var myFirstPage = myPDFPage.pdfAttributes.pageNumber;
            else{
                if(myPDFPage.pdfAttributes.pageNumber == myFirstPage){
                    myPage.remove();
                    myBreak = true;
            myCounter = myCounter + 1;
         myData[2].remove();
what i would is, before the script place every single page of PDF file in the document, determine if the same page of the Pdf file is vertical or horizontal, to make the right section for the page.
Is it possible?
Thank you

I also have a .csv file with the name of a jpeg in one column and a text description of each jpeg in a second column. Is there a way to automatically insert one jpeg (photo) and its corresponding text, each pair on one page, into a Indesign document?

I also have a .csv file with the name of a jpeg in one column and a text description of each jpeg in a second column. Is there a way to automatically insert one jpeg (photo) and its corresponding text, each pair on one page, into a Indesign document?

I would also recommend to write the description into the meta data. This would allow to place a text frame above the image and it is possible to add meta information and file name automatically together with the image, when you place it or even in a prepared template.
Meta data information can be written easily in Bridge in the Meta File Workspace.

How do I insert one file into another with track changes intact?

I gather that Pages does not have a way to insert a file into a document in the way that Word has insert file. So all we can do is copy an entire document and then paste it into the second document. But when I do that I lose the track changes, except for the odd comment. What is the way around this?

I'm assuming you're wanting to insert the contents of one Pages document into another. I don't have a need to use tracking, so I'm not sure if this applies but I think it should.
You can insert sections from one Pages document into another. Open your files & show thumbnails. Sections have a yellow border around all of the pages in that section. Now click on the page in the thumbnail pane & copy. If the file is more than one page & you only want one, you'll need to insert a section break to separate the pages. Then go to your other file, click in the thumbnail pane & paste. If you want to insert the other content into the middle of a section in the receiving document, you will need to insert section breaks at the point you want to insert. The whole copied page will be pasted in. Repeat with another section. Styles will copy over with the sections but headers & footers will not.

Urgent - pls help - Problem while inserting binary file into Oracle DB

Hi,
I am trying to insert binary files into a Blob column in a Oracle 10G table.
The binary files would be uploaded by the web users and hence come as multipart request. I use apache commons upload streaming API to handle it. Finally i am getting a input stream of the uploaded file.
The JDBC code is
PreparedStatement ps=conn.prepareStatement("insert into bincontent_table values(?)");
ps.setBinaryStream(1,inStream,length);
My problem starts when i try to find the length of the stream. available() method of inputstream does not return the full length of the stream. so i put a loop to read thru the stream and find the length as shown below
int length=0;
while((v=inStream.read())!=-1)
length++;
Now, though i got the length, my stream pointer has reached the end and i cant reset it(it throws an error if i try).
So i copied the stream content to a byte array and created an ByteArrayInputStream like this.
tempByteArray=new byte[length];
stream.read(tempByteArray,0,length);
ByteArrayInputStream bais=new ByteArrayInputStream(tempByteArray);
Now if i pass this bytearray input stream instead of the normal input stream to the prepared statement's setBinaryStream() method it throws an error as
"ORA-01460: unimplemented or unreasonable conversion requested".
Now how to solve this?
My doubts are ,
1) preparedStatement.setBinaryStream(int parameterIndex, InputStream x, int length) expects an inputstream and its length. if i have the stream how to find its length with out reading the stream?
2) Also as the length parameter is a integer, what if i have a large binary file whose length runs more than the capacity of integer
3) Alternatively there is a setBlob(int i, Blob x) in prepared statement. But how to instantiate a Blob object and set it here
4) Is there any better way to do this.
Thanks in advance

"ORA-01460: unimplemented or unreasonable conversion
requested".When the setBinaryStream method is used, the driver may have to do extra work to determine whether the parameter data should be sent to the server as a LONGVARBINARY or a BLOB (reference: javadoc)
1) preparedStatement.setBinaryStream(int parameterIndex,
InputStream x, int length) expects an inputstream and its length. if i
have the stream how to find its length with out reading the stream?no. stream may have no specified length. i think you have wrong understanding about stream.
2) Also as the length parameter is a integer, what if i have a large
binary file whose length runs more than the capacity of integer
3) Alternatively there is a setBlob(int i, Blob x) in prepared statement.
But how to instantiate a Blob object and set it here
4) Is there any better way to do this.use ps.setBlob(1, instream) instead

Can't import Photoshop files into Premiere Pro

I am learning Premiere Pro CS6 and I am using a book titled "Classroom in a Book". One of the exercises is to import a Photoshop file into Premiere Pro. I received a generic error message "The importer reported a generic error". I found that if I run Premiere Pro as an Administrator that the issue goes away. I wasn't too worried about it until I realized that my ShuttleXpress does not function when I am running Premiere Pro as an Administrator. Does anyone have any idea what is going on???? This is very frustrating.

I only have one account on the computer and it has Administrator priveleges. What I am doing to make it work is opening the application using the "Run as Administrator" command (e.g., right click application shortcut on desktop, choose "Run as Administrator"). I am not a Windows guru but I would guess there is something different between opening an Application with a user that has Administrator priveleges and opening an Application choosing "Run as Administrator". Also, your answer still does not address the fact that I can't use my jog wheel.
Anyone else have some ideas?

I want to insert .pdf files into a "Master" .pdf file at pre-determined intervals - how do I do this?

I want to insert .pdf files into a "Master" .pdf file at pre-determined intervals - how do I do this?

Hi markm11762689,
When you insert pages, you can determine whether they go before or after the first or last page, or a page number that you specify.
If you're inserting multiple files at once, they will all be inserted in the same spot that you specify in the Select File to Insert dialog box.
There may be a way to handle this programmatically, and there are some very clever folks who visit these forums regularly. Let's see if they chime in...
Best,
Sara

Coverting photoshop file into an illustrator file

Is it possible to convert a photoshop file into an illustrator file - I am using CS3.
My client has sent me a logo which is a small photoshop image of the logotype logo on a black background at 300dpi. The text is 3D and has a gold gradient on one section and silver gradient on another section.
Originally the logo was created by an animator for a film - the animator says he cannot provide a vector file
The client does not want to remake the logo from scratch as the gradients and 3d effects would be different.
I now need to have a vector file for a large print job - can I take the photoshop image - place it into an illustrator file and save as an illustrator file? Is there a better way to do this?
I have tried cutting out the text area of the logo but it is still a bit scratchy round the edges so not really very useful.
Thanks for you help
Regards - Brian

The client made the mistake of not having the logo properly made as a vector in the first place. He needs to accept that fact and let the logo be properly created now. It's easy to turn a vector image into a raster (Photoshop) image, but going the other direction is generally not possible without recreating it from scratch. Although the Live Trace feature in Illustrator converts rasters to vectors, you probably won't like the result, and a logo needs to be be properly constructed, not knocked out by Live Trace.
