Saving InDesign files with embedded preview on server

When I save my InDesign files on my internal hard drive, the preview shows up just fine.
But when I save on my work´s server, the preview dissapears.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

I could have sworn that explorer generated its own thumbnail from a tiff image. If I am right then I would say that either the file is actually another format that your program is capable of reading but explorer is not but was renamed to the tiff extention.
Or something happened to the association of the tiff extention.
Something else to check, when exporting the tiff image try an uncompressed version and make sure the byte order is for IBM PC.
I also think image pyramid is not supported (though I am not totally sure what that is, lol.)
One other thing to check, your folder make sure it is not read only and you have enough drive space. These you probably already know, but explorer needs to create a file in that folder that holds the thumbnails.
Hopefully something above will help...

Performance, minimum bandwidth, thumbnail previews for PDF and InDesign Files with web content viewer

Hi,
We are considering using DPS with a web content viewer for large PDFs and/or InDesign files. The client using a web viewer might have very limited bandwidth (some as low as 256Kbps). We ask:
1 - How well does the web viewer perform with very large PDFs and InDesign files (500 MB+) with limited bandwidth? Does the file stream in chunks and the PDF shows as soon as the first page or two are available, with the rest loading in the background, or does the entire file come down in one part and then shown?
2 - Can PDF and InDesign files support thumbnail previews? For example, one image per PDF page and user can scroll forward and back.
Your thoughts and comments are greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
-Stephen

Hi Stephen,
The way the web viewer works is that it converts the PDF/InDesign files to PNGs along with additional HTML assets. Assets are downloaded as they’re ready for a given page (e.g. first, page 1 is filled with its assets as they become available, then page 2, etc), so a reader wouldn’t need to wait for the entire article to load. The next few pages are also loaded in the background, so the reader wouldn’t be likely to notice lag as they flipped through pages to the next page after reading the current one. So the lag will depend on the size of an individual page.
For your question around thumbnails, the web viewer does not load a preview image so the reader would need to wait for the assets I described above to load.
Hope this helps...

Web browser for running locally saved html file with Marquee Text

I have a html file contain Marquee text.
I want to display that html file in oracle forms(10g).
I already use simple html browser but it does not support marquee text.
I already tried to convert the html file into Gif file but Marquee text not appear in gif file.
Is there any browser which support the locally saved html file with marquee text and also it can be embedded in oracle form.
Or is there any way for display that html file within the oracle forms.
Remember I don't want to display that file in separate window.I want to display that html file within the form.

Actually that is what I was doing last night and got a bad flash and bricked my router..so its on its way back to Linksys...

Exporting jpegs with embedded previews?

For compatibility with a web application I wrote using an old workflow ending with a save-for-web in Photoshop, I need to export jpegs with embedded previews. (Not DNG or other format files with embedded jpeg previews.) This happens by default with Photoshop, but Lightroom doesn't do it and I can't find anything to change that in the settings. Am I missing something? And if this isn't included, is it on the to-do list for improvements?

Saving a file with Dreamweaver it doesn't show up finder view of folder

Since I updated Mac Leopard it seems that when saving a file with Dreamweaver 8 it shows up in the files list but it doesn't show up in the finder when I look at the same folder.
But if I save to the desktop the file is visible and if I save to another folder it's visible. Any ideas why?

Hi harvey waxman;
It was my understanding that anything prior to DW CS3, which is version 9, is not compatible with Leopard.

When round tripping with photoshop cc, i get a saved psd file with my original raw,the problem is these are high file sizes and taking a lot of space,can i stop this?

when round tripping with photoshop cc, i get a saved psd file with my original raw,the problem is these are high file sizes and taking a lot of space,can i stop this?

That's not the workflow that I use. I have my Lightroom preferences set to create TIF images when going to Photoshop. I keep the original raw file and the TIF image (usually reduced to an 8-bit image) and only export JPEG's when they are needed to send to a lab or to send to someone over the Internet. JPEG files are highly compressed. I only create them when they are needed, and they are discarded as soon as they have been used for their intended purpose. I keep the raw file and the Photoshop-created TIF in my library. This requires extra disk space. But I always have the highest quality files available.

How do I import a file with embedded timecode?

I'm tryimg to import files with embedded timecode but FCP is not reading the embedded code and is assigning new code with 00 hr timecode.
Is there a way to get FCP to read info from the file header?

The files I am trying to import are are HD quicktime files (1920x1080 23.98 fps) with all timecode and reel# info embedded. When I import them into final cut, all my reel numbers show AUX and all timecode reels start with 00 hr timecode. I'm trying to find a way to get FCP to read the embedded info off the file header.
I am finishing on a Smoke, which has options to read the info from the header and I'm getting it no problem. But our offline editors are not able to read that same code in their FCP 7 systems.

InDesign file with layers to the Adobe Creative Cloud?

Is it possible for me to upload an InDesign file with layers to the Adobe Creative Cloud please?

Hello, Yes you can upload a Indesign CC file with layers and download the same file with the layers. It is still the orginal file as there is not any changes made to the file during the upload or download process from the Creative Cloud.
If you find that this resolves your issue or was helpful, could you please take a moment to come back to this discussion and mark the post as helpful. Doing so greatly benefits your fellow users

Files with embedded profiles shown as untagged in Bridge.Bridge only right about files saved from PS

Photoshop works perfectly when saving files as .psds etc. or PDF-Standards (PDF-X etc.), embedding the profiles correctly. However, InDesign and Illustrator do not embed any colour profiles in .pdfs, in their native formats (.indd and .ai) or any other format apart from .jpg.
Why is Photoshop working perfectly, yet AI and INDD are not? Everything was installed at the same time, and the colour management settings are all synchronised in bridge.
All I want to be able to do is save as one of the default PDF-X settings (via File > Save As in Illustrator), but as I said, saving as the same PDF-X standard across all 3 programs only embeds the profile if saved from Photoshop. I don’t have the slightest clue why Photshop is the only one that works.
Although, according to this post, which seems very similar to my question, it might be Adobe Brdige CS5 that is wrong: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3565578
Because I have files that Bridge shows as untagged, which upon opening do in fact have an embedded colour profile. Ugh, this stuff is confusing!

Thanks so much for your help, I didn't know any of those things. Very interesting.
In regards to Photoshop rasterizing PDFs, what exactly are the ramifications of that? A PDF-X saved from Photoshop is still fine to send to the print press, right?
So far, all the print work I do I design in the colour space specified by my printer, then save as a PDF-X1a (which is also what they specify), by doing 'Save As' in Illlustrator. I also name the file with the colour space, and my printer has not had any problems with this.
The reason I'm asking about colour management, is that I may start expanding into the area of designing adverts for newspapers and magazines, and this involves different colour spaces. And newspapers etc. around here won't be as fussy about colour management as my print-press, which is a very good print company. So it would be better if I knew they were getting PDFs from me with embedded colour profiles.
I think the situation is that when I save things with embedded profiles, that it does in fact work, despite what Bridge, Illustrator and InDesign say. I have .ai files that show up in Bridge as untagged, but when opened in Illustrator, do indeed have an embedded colour profile.
It's very confusing to know what's going on.
A rather non-technical workaround, which alot of people seem to use, is just designing the file in the correct colour space, saving the file in that colour space, naming the file with that colour space, and then when it gets to the printer/magazine/newspaper etc. hoping that (A) there is colour profile data in the file that people can see at the destination or (B) the people at the destination know from the file name that you designed it in the correct space, and so they just Assign Profile at their end, and all is well.
I mean, what's the alternative, I can't suddenly stop using Illustrator and InDesign, and doing ALL my work in Photoshop, just because of what Bridge says!

Illustrator hangs when saving .ai files with linked or embedded images

Hi,
Currently I have a huge problem with Adobe Illustrator. When I place an image file inside an Illustrator document, the program freezes for about 45 seconds when saving. In the beginning I though it was just because my image file was too big, but that wasn't the case.
To test what's going on I created a new document, drew a few lines and saved. No problem, Illustrator saved immediately. Then I placed a bigger image and suddenly Illustrator hang when saving. I repeated this with a very small GIF of just a few kB and again, Illustrator hang for nearly a minute when saving the image. I tried embedding the image instead of linking it, but I still got the same results.
Then I turned of the visibility of the image object by clicking on the little eye symbol in front of the image object and suddenly Illustrator was able to save quickly again. The next thing I wanted to try was turning off compression and PDF compatibility, but then I noticed that Illustrator is actually hanging BEFORE writing the file to disk. When I hit "Save as" Illustrator asked me where to save the new file and then after clicking "Save" it hang (showing "(Not Responding)" in the title bar). About 45 seconds later the save options dialog came up and when I clicked "OK" it saved the file immediately.
Does anybody know what the problem might be? I'm using Illustrator CS5 on Windows 7 x64. The computer is a notebook with 8GB RAM and a switchable graphics card. I tried this on both the integrated Intel graphics unit and on the much more powerful AMD chip. The hard driver I'm saving to is the local hard drive (no network drive etc.).
This is a more or less fresh installation (I haven't used Illustrator before on this notebook) and I can't remember that I had the same problem on my workstation where I used it inside a virtual machine (which doesn't exist anymore).

Yeah, I know that changing the mode results in different colors. I just switched back and forth to check out what's going on.
For CMYK I'm using ECI profiles which are common in Europe and for RGB the normal Adobe RGB 1998 profile. The profiles are synced between all Creative Suite products. I tried sRGB and some of the default profiles which shipped with CS5 but it produces the same result. I also deleted my whole Illustrator profile but without success.
My graphics card doesn't have any updates. But it would be very unlikely anyway that both drivers for both cards had the same issue. If it has something to do with my graphics cards it's more likely the switchable graphics in general.

I need help with Tiger 10.4.11 saving / deleting files on a Win 2003 Server

Some of my Mac users are experiencing extremely slow file saves to my Windows Server 2003 server. It is not specific to file types. Illustrator, Quark all take forever and the file size is not the issue either. They are also having to force quit Finder after attempting to delete files from the Server.
I have found that if they boot into Safe Boot they can delete the files without a problem. As soon as I do a normal login the problem returns.
The problem seems to be specific to the machine. If user A logs on to her Mac she has problems deleting files from the server. If she logs into a Mac that isn't having problems (using her login) she doesn't have problems. If User B who has no problems on her Mac logs into User A's Mac then User B will have the same problems.
In order to rebind the Mac to the Active Directory I had to remove the Mac from AD. So I don't think it's the Computer's SID. I even tried unbinding the Mac, changing it's name and then Binding it to AD. Same problems.
I thought it was the Mac and just wasted a day wiping the Mac and reinstalling everything on it, but when I went to delete a file from the Server, finder locked up and I had to force quit finder.
I even changed the IP Address of one of the Macs having problems, but that didn't work either.
I've done a Permission repair as well with no change.
Anyone help?

OK, there was a System Events in the System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items, but after removing it and restarting I still had to force quit finder after attempting to delete some files off of the server.
I do not have (or can't find) the /private/var/run/startupitems.
The Library/StartupItems has 2 entries: AdobeVersionQueCS2 and IntegoCommon, both of which I removed the other day and tried to delete files after rebooting with the usual (not good) result.
In the System/Library/StartupItems there are 16 items. I will list them as I am not sure what shouldn't be there. I believe that they should all be from Apple though:
Apache
AppleShare
AuthServer
CrashReporter
Disks
FibreChannel
IFCStart
IPServices
Metadata
NetworkTime
NFS
NIS
PrintingServices
RemoteDesktopAgent
SNMP
Thanks for your help so far.

Problem saving fdf file with a file extenstion

When I download a file with a 'FDF' extension, the file contains the name of the PDF template to be used. Preview or ADOBE is supposed to get the PDF and populate it with the data in the FDF file. This works fine with Firefox and IE under Windows, but in Firefox on the MAC the FDF file is saved without an extension. If I rename if to whatever.fdf, it works like it's supposed to.
Does anyone know why the OS is not saving the FDF file with an extension?

No, the value of the /F key in the FDF dictionary (which is what FDFSetFile sets) must be a file specification. See the PDF Reference for more information about file specifications.

Is there a fix for an InDesign file with error code 3?

I have: reset preferences, exported to older file type, opened it on a different machine, etc. Everytime I try to click a page at the beginning of the document, ID crashes and has to reboot. CS6.

Sorry to hear that. Yes, we may be able to assist! Here is a little more info on how we will do this - Markzware InDesign File Recovery Service:
http://markzware.com/support/faq/recover-bad-file-service/
Troubleshooing may help and here are some tips:
Just like a doctor can not always say what caused the symptoms, they can offer best advice standards for prevention. For instance, the typical items such as; system up to date along with all software used in the process, enough hard-disk space for scratch disks, etc.
It is hard to say what actually caused your InDesign file to go corrupt, but it comes down to these likely causes:
* Corrupt Font(s) (or corrupt font caches - see below)
* Corrupt Image(s)
* Power Failure
* Placing images via drag-and-drop from an Internet page
- Watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLM08sT_F3U
* Copying and Pasting Images from Word, PowerPoint, etc into InDesign
- Watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSS0Llx4VEs
* Copying and Pasting text from Word, PowerPoint, etc into InDesign
* Working on an InDesign file over a network or on a remote server
Here is a video on how to tackle the font caches of InDesign, which is good to do once and a while anyway:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nf5ZuiaYgus
For checking individual font files (fonts are like mini apps really), we recommend either FontExplorer XPro or Extensis Suitcase Fusion 4, with the later perhaps the more popular of the two.
Deleting your InDesign preferences can also fix some odd issues. To delete the InDesign Preferences hold down shift+option+command+control on Mac or shift+ctrl+alt on WIndows while starting up InDesign.
Hopefully this assists.

File locked message when saving a file with Photoshop

We've been seeing a problem with several users that is hard to reproduce. Every once in a while when they try to save a file in Photoshop on the server they get a dialogue saying 'the file is locked, use Finder info to unlock the file'.
This file is located on the server and the problem only happens when doing a 'Save', not with a 'Save as'. The server is running 10.5.5 and the clients are 10.4.11. This is happening with Photoshop versions CS1, 2 and 3. It also happend with Illustrator CS3 once.
We've been experimenting with different scenario's using different ACL's and POSIX settings. Also, when the client reboots their machine the exact same 'Save' actions works again.

I've been receiving complaints about a similar issue over the past few weeks, except using Quark and Excel. I wonder if it's related to the 10.5.5 update. Are you sure you didn't get the version numbers reversed in your post? We're having the issue with 10.4.11 SERVER and 10.5.5. CLIENTS.
It's a file locking issue, so you probably won't fix it by changing the ACLs or POSIX permissions. The server thinks a different process still has the file open, so it's preventing you from changing the file. "Save As" works because it creates a new file.
You can probably eject & reconnect the volume from the client instead of fully rebooting.
The question is what's keeping the file open. You can run:
sudo lsof | grep <filename>
... in Terminal to see whether a given Mac has the file open. If the server comes back with a response to that command (don't worry what it says - you just want to see if anything comes back), then you know that the file is locked.
Next, go to each client that could have the file open and run the same command. If none of them have it open, you're probably looking at the same glitch that I've been. The server thinks a file is open but none of the clients do.
