Trouble with placing eps into InDesign

Can you place an eps file that has a drop shadow into indesign cs6 without having a white box around it appear. I know that the illustrator file places correctly, is this just something that can't happen using an eps file.

EPS does not support transparency.

Placed QuarkXpress 7 eps into InDesign CS3 prints with slanted type

any suggestions to fix?

placed QuarkXpress 7 eps into InDesign CS3 prints with slanted type
The problem may be in the HP print drivers.
Printing to Epson printers works, printing to HP 132, 5000 or 2200 produces slanted type, even at Adobe.
Printing to disk as a Postscript printer and then printing the ps file using the pdf printer works fine.

Acrobat 5 - Placing PDF into inDesign and Output to Colour Separations are Wrong

Acrobat 5 - Placing PDF into inDesign and Output to Colour Separations are Wrong
I have a 2 Page PDF file from my client which I have to have setup 2UP on 450x320 for Metal Plates for the Press.
I setup my page size in inDesign and Placed each page from the PDF file into the inDesign Document.
Because I need 4 Metal plates (CMYK) I had to check the Colour Seperations for the file by outputting it to a Postscript file with CMYK SEPS and then using Adobe Distiller to turn it into a PDF file for me to view the Seperations.
As I've shown in the screen shot below. The CYAN plate has boxes all around the images in the PDF file which will come out on a Metal Plate.
Compared to the Colour version of the Client's PDF they supplied me, there is no boxes around the images.
I know this is a error with dropping a PDF file into inDesign, outputting to a PS file and then Distilling it to the SEPS. I've had the same problem when I've opened a PDF file that has been distilled in Illustrator and the Artwork is sliced into pieces and uneditable.
Has anyone else found this problem and if so is there a workaround?
I'm using Adobe inDesign CS and Adobe Acrobat Professional Version 5.

Im facing a similar kind of problem. I want to store and retrieve Office files, PDF and Jpegs into/from the database to view them on web in disconnected mode. Please reply as I cant find any help/documentation regarding saving BLOB data into files. I was able to store file data into BLOB, using DBMS_LOB package.

You can't do it in one step. Add to iTunes first, Once the tracks are in iTunes you may convert to a different format.

Fonts issue with MathType EPS in InDesign

We have been using MathType 6.7e version for creating equations as eps format on Mac OS 10.6. We will import the same into InDesign CS6 for doing pagination. On a particular title, we have used the OTF font name "KozGoPro-Regular.otf" (Chinese/Japanese font) in the MathType to create the equation.
When we place this eps file (MathType) in InDesign CS6, a pop-up error message appears on the InDesign (screen shot appended below) and the eps file has turned to grey box without appearing actual content. The problem is with the font using in MathType equation and import into InDesign whereas no issue if we could apply the same font for a text in InDesign. The appearance of the text shows right font without issue.
Much appreciated if you could help me on this issue.

Can you try to convert the EPS in the Distiller to a PDF file, but make sure that
you have not used any false style on the first place in the file,
that all used fonts and styles are installed on the computer,
that the file and the licence is allowing you to embed the font into a PDF and
that you make a Distiller Joboption which will embed completely all used fonts, or at least all used glyphs.

Problem with importing graphics into InDesign

This is a fictitious example to illustrate my problem...
I have .PSD file measuring 10cm square. It's completely blank except for a layer containing a 5cm square box in the middle. When I import to InDesign it places as a 10cm square picture frame (with the 5cm image in the middle surrounded by blank space), rather than a 5cm square picture frame "snapped" to the edges of the .PSD content.
This means doing a "Fit Frame to Content" now makes the InDesign frame the same dimensions as the .PSD document (ie. 10cm square), when it used to make it 5cm square (i.e the same dimensions as the CONTENT of the .PSD document). Any ideas about changing this back? I've no idea what's changed recently...
Apologies; that's been described incredibly badly. I hope someone understands what I mean!
Thanks in advance

Thanks guys. But in the past when this has happened it's seemed to be linked to the last image I opened in PhotoShop. Often I have to render PDFs in PhotoShop to send visuals to printers and, depending on what I pick in the "Crop to:" drop down box, in the past has altered the way my next image imports in InDesign. In the past if the next .PSD image imported into InDesign with the extra white space around it, I turned Import Options on and then got similar "crop to" options in InDesign, and (off the top of my head) chose "Bounding Box" to resolve the issue. Now I'm just getting the option to turn layers on or off.
That said, InDesign does now seem to be behaving exactly as you (Daniel) describe. This is annoying because I've been testing this now on a .PSD graphic which used to place and crop to the content, but now places at the size of the full PhotoShop document.
And Rik: I agree that I could crop the original images in PhotoShop, which would technically resolve the issue - and may end up being what I have to do in the short term. But I've got a bee in my bonnet about this now, because this isn't how InDesign has been behaving for me for the past 5 years.
I've tried deleting the preferences for both InDesign and PhotoShop in the vain hope it would be as simple as that. That didn't work.
I'll keep searching for the answer...

Problem with imported images into Indesign

I have scanned a book as a one bit (B & W) 600 dpi document. I have imported the document into Indesign as i need to integrate some decsreened pics in. I then export the finished document as a press ready PDF and the image virtually disappears off the page and what is left is very distorted. the type is twice as high and about five times wider than the original image.
I have contacted the scanner company and of course they put the issue with the exporting to the PDF.
Can anybody help??

This is bug #2960217 filed by me in September, relating to Indexed over Gray colorspace, also with a Fujitsu Scansnap S1500M.
I have scanned a book as a one bit (B & W) 600 dpi document. I have imported the document into Indesign as i need to integrate some decsreened pics in. I then export the finished document as a press ready PDF and the image virtually disappears off the page and what is left is very distorted. the type is twice as high and about five times wider than the original image.
The scanner that i have used is a Fujitsu Scansnap S1500M.
In short, don't use it in Grayscale (Or BW, I guess) modes. Use it in Color, or make sure to process the iamge in another app (like Photoshop) and save
it with a normal colorspace.

Placing a PDF with hyperlinks/buttons into InDesign and retaining all the link/buttons after reprece

I got a PDF file that has multiple links/buttons and I'm placing into an InDesign CS2 document with other items and then exporting out as another PDF for a digital edition magazine. I want to retain all the links/button once I export?

James,
I doubt that will work. But it should be easy enough to find out. If you
print to pdf from ID, I guarantee is will not work. If you export from
ID, I doubt it will work, but ask in the ID forum, since the creation
does not depend upon Acrobat.

Placing screenshots into InDesign

Hi All,
I'm running into a problem I can't seem to surmount. It's a very simple thing I need to do. I need to place a screenshot, taken from a Mac, into an indesign document, without it being pixelated or blurry. Should be easy, right? Wrong.
Adding the image to the frame causes it to immediately resize to fit the container. What am I doing wrong? No amount of changing the fitting settings seems to get it to original quality.
The resize content button is not what I want. I just want it to be it's own size!
To try and work around, I created a frame with the exact dimensions of the picture then placed the picture in the frame. It was still far blurrier than the original when exported. The original, if viewed from preview, is totally fine and crisp.
I've tried JPEG and PNG, no difference. I exported it through photoshop at maximum quality and still no visible difference.
In short, how do I get a screenshot from my computer into the end result PDF document without it losing quality?
I'm new to InDesign and hoping that I'm just missing something that can easily be cleared up. It's nothing to do with the display performance, which is set at maximum.

Pieman wrote:
I'm sorry but that's not true at all. The image comes onto the inDesign doc far bigger than the original image that I captured and as a result it's pixelated on the pdf. I'm hitting CMD + D to select the image, then double clicking the page. The image then automatically sizes itself.
I'm not sure why you're double-clicking the page. Cmd+D should just open the Place dialog. You navigate to the image file location, select it, and click the Open button. You now have a loaded cursor. Click the page once where you want the placed image to land. This places the image at 100%...or, it's "original" size. With it still selected, check the Info panel for its dimensions and effective resolution.
For what it's worth, placing screen shots has always been a bit of a tricky proposition, although you're correct in endeavoring to simply and only place them at 100%. The sequence I wrote out above (same as Bob's in post #5), is the way to do it. It's really not clear whether you've tried it exactly that way or not, but if you have, and the image is coming in significantly larger than expected, as you hinted, it would be worth the effort to get some empirical measurements. Open one of the problematic screen shots in Photoshop; call up the image size dialog, and check the dimensions and resolution. Compare to what reads in InDesign's Info panel. Post the results here, if you like, and we'll take it from there.

Placing EPS into Photoshop Doc Question...

I need to have a script place an eps vector graphic into a photoshop document, centered, and 30 pixels from the top.

Try this
But this forum does not format the code correctly it strips some spaces that are required in the code!
you will have to modify some of the fields IE ('Plc ') ( "Lyr " ) These should be FOUR characters in this case Plc Space Etc.

Trouble with flv insertion into DW CS4

I am having a problem when I want to insert an flv file into a web page using Dreamweaver CS4. I use the menu selection INSERT/MEDIA/FLV and fill in the proper boxes in the popup window including the file name, the type of skin, detect dimensions, etc... When I use LIVE VIEW or PREVIEW IN BROWSER, all I see is a box where the video should play with icon images of rewind, start, fast forward butons and get no video or sound. It doesn't matter which browser (IE9, Opera, Safari, Chrome, or Firefox). All browsers (and Flash players) are current as I update when I am asked to. Sometimes I get the YOU NEED A MORE RECENT VERSION OF FLASH PLAYER (or something like that). Again, all browsers and flash versions are current.
This happens on my laptop running Vista and my desktop running XP, although the desktop just started doing it. The desktop has older browsers/ flash versions but was not having the problem until recently. My laptop is the computer I use to upload to websites. Funny thing is, that other pages I have in the same site using the exact same template I use for these video pages, work fine in the preview modes. Just the most recent. And to top things off, after I upload the files to the server, they work fine. The problem is just local previewing from within DW.
sites where I have files uploaded are: www.dg-band.com and www.richardsinkler.com
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as this has me pulling what's left of my hair out.

And, did you upload this folder?

Trouble with passing values into table !

Well my problem seems to be very small but have tried a lot of books and e-books to get a possible solution, but all in vain.
The problem is I have a table, lets say 'tab', which has a varchar2 column, lets say 'col'.
I want to be able to make an insert into this 'col' column of the table 'tab'.
Simple inserts with all symbols work fine. But when I run the following insert, it fails.....
insert into tab
values('abcn&def');
Assume the table tab has a single column 'col' of varchar2 datatype. When I run the insert statement it prompts a value. Is there anyway I can store '&' as a part of the data?

In SQL*Plus ampersand character (&) is the default character to identify a parameter.
Either use set define off or set define to a different character.
SQL > set define off
--- this will turn off & as the input parameter definition charatcer
or use
SQL > set define *
-- this will set * as the input parameter definition charatcer instead of &

Trouble with Files organizing into Folders.

I am really frustrated with Itunes today. I am trying to reorganize my library from scratch. All of my music is saved to an external Hard Drive, from which I will be pulling music from and adding it back into my Itunes library. My problem is that I can't stand it when Itunes organizes my music into folders.
Artists > Albums > Songs. I dont want this. I just want all of my tracks to be in one folder, organized by name. Now I when I go to preferences and under te advanced tab, the "Keep Itunes Media Folder Organized" box is UNCHECKED. And it is still organizing my songs into folders when I add my music to itunes.
I am pulling my hair with frustration on this one and I dont know what to do... PLEASE HELP!

I'm suddenly having this problem also. "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" and "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library" have NEVER been checked.
On March 2, 2012, iTunes updated and now all the songs that were in my Singles folder were renamed and moved into individual Artist folders that never previously existed. I now have 1000s of Artist folders with a single song in each. I also now have 1000s of exclamation marks in front of the songs in my library because iTunes can't find the songs it moved!
I've spent several days reversing what iTunes has done and I'm still not finished. I'm also concerned about the next iTunes update destroying my days and days of work by moving my music again.
How do I prevent iTunes from renaming/moving my music files when I'm not allowing the program to do that in the first place?
