Trouble with re-sizing images/textboxes InDesign CS6

Has anyone had any problems re-sizing images or text boxes in InDesign CS6?
I have been doing it for months by selecting the corners and dragging them in or out but suddenly it's stopped working. The arrow no longer changes to a double arrow when I hover over the corner and all I can see is an hourglass when I hover over any type of frame.
I can resize images only be changing their percentage in the transform objects -> scale options.
I tried re-setting my preferences and it didn't help.
Please advise me if there is something else I can do.

Tried that and it didn't help.
The only thing I can think of is that there is something wrong or slow with my remote desktop connection which is affecting functionality. No one else seems to have had this problem.
Thanks for your effort though.

Invert image in InDesign CS6

How can I invert (make a negative image) a Tiff (or JPG) image within Indesign CS6?
This can be done in Photoshop, but I don't want to keep swapping applications or have to make and save a new (negative) image in Photoshop and then import into Indesign.
This was so easy in Quark years ago!
Thanks!

Set the fill color of the rectangle holding your image to Black, and the fill color of the image itself (select with the white arrow) to Paper.
This will only work on grayscale and black-and-white images; then again, those are the only logical candidates to make negative.
In case "it is not working": there is a difference between a full color image containing only gray pixels and a real grayscale image. The former cannot be changed in ID, the latter can.

High quality images in indesign CS6 get pixelated

I have been using indesign CS6 for a while now. Recently, when I place some images into a document, they are pixelated. They are high quality images with a high resolution. Even when I shrink it down considerably to fit in the document, it still gets pixelated. I have "view High Quality" checked & the image prints pixelated as well. When I preview the image, it looks fine. Any ideas?

Can you post a screen shot of the image placed on ID to have an idea of what you're looking at? If possible can you share a sample image via dropbox?

Images in InDesign CS6 tables

In InDesign CS6 is there a way to define tables cells to images instead of text (like you can in QXP). My aim is to import images into cell, but I want them to fill the full cell size.

Sorry - InDesign doesn't offer that function - you'd have to set that up manually.
Give your cell 0 padding all around.
Get the measurement for your cell
Create a graphic frame that size.
And cut and paste it into the cell.

How can we place the MultipagesPDF, with spceify the position through InDesign CS6?

when we import pdf file through script of placemultipagepdf in InDesign CS6, we are unable to specify the position, and percentage of document. Pl

In case you mean the sample script in Applications/Samples/[Insert Programming Language]/PlaceMultipagePDF: What is your question?
1. "The script does not ask for these values". That seems to be correct. It does not, and never did. So it is working as intended.
or
2. "We want to enhance the script and add this functionality but we are unable to do so ..."
2a. ".. because we cannot find the proper commands to insert." Placing PDFs has been asked before (many times), search this forum for tips.
2b. ".. because we cannot write scripts, plz do the useful". That is not what this forum is for.
Way more likely is that you are confusing Adobe's example script with the much more powerful MultiPageImporter by Scott Zanelli (http://indesignsecrets.com/zanelli-releases-multipageimporter-for-importing-both-pdf-and-i ndd-files.php).

Trouble with creating an image sequence in QT Pro 7.4.

I'm having trouble creating an image sequence in QT Pro 7.4(Windows XP). I have a folder containing a JPEG sequence (alternative a PICT-Image sequenz). I Open image sequence, choose the image-frequency and choose the first image, but QT created only the first image in a self-contained movie. But, the same images with the same procedure with QT Pro 7.2 on another Windows XP- PC created a correctly self-contained movie. Is this a bug in QT Pro 7.4?
Please help me and apologize for my bad english!

You have to revert to an older version of QT. After Effects users are having the same issue. Here's a link to a temporary fix (reverting back to older version):
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3c05dee6
1) I downloaded QT 7.3.1 from the Apple Support Downloads website.
2) I downloaded Pacifist from their webiste
3) I installed Pacifist on my machine
4) I opened the QuickTime DMG file and drug the PKG file out of it
5) I launched Pacifist and dragged the QuickTime 7.3.1 PKG file onto the Pacifist window.
6) I clicked on "Contents of QuickTime531_Leopard.pkg" to select it in Pacifist
7) I choose "Install" from the Pacifist menu at the top of the window
It started installing and I chose "Replace" when ever it prompted me. You can actually click a little check box that says "Don't Keep Asking Me This" and then you don't have to click "Replace" a 1000 times.
9) I restarted my computer (Intel Quad-Core 3 Ghz) went to System Preferences>QuickTime and checked that I was now actually running QT 7.3. YES!!!

Problem with cmyk transparency blending in Indesign cs6

Hello everyone! Please give me someone an information about this issue...
All i have in indesign is cmyk color space in all contents, i have set up the transparency blending option to CMYK (edit > transparency blending > cmyk) but when i set the gradient feather on image 1 i have very bad result the transparency is greyscaled not transparent.
I try everything but nothin works for me, please help me somebody.
example 1 show the bad result in cmyk blending transparency
example 2 show the better result with rgb blending transparency with cmyk contents !!!
why i can not set the cmyk transparency blending option? because i have bad result and i do not uderstand that

please explain me the difference in this proces because i do not understand that...
The effect of transparency changes depending on the color mode, that's why you get this warning when you try to change color modes in Photoshop when there is transparency:
I can replicate your problem in Photoshop by layering transparent black on an RGB and CMYK version of the same image (Here are the 2 example files—http://www.zenodesign.com/forum/TransExample.zip) :
InDesign makes things even more complex because you can have different transparent color modes on the same page and you can choose different blending spaces. If color is important I take the extra time to create transparency in a Photoshop RGB file where there's more color contol and I can see the affect of a CMYK conversion and flattening.

How can I get text to appear over my placed or pasted images in InDesign CS6?

I am new to InDesign and am having a few issues. I have a basic template for a site that I have built in Illustrator. I have placed the design into an InDesign document (I have tried both copy/paste and the Place feature). When I try to use InDesign to overlay text on top of the image, it shows up fine whenever I export to an image file. However, when I export to HTML, the text gets pushed directly underneath the image in web browser (it's visible, but shows on white space below my desired template). Is there any way to fix this? I have already tried enabling "Ignore Text Wrap" on the text frame and the text itself is set to the front of the document. Thanks!

InDesign is not a web authoring tool. If you’re expecting text to simply overlay a graphic in export HTML from InDesign you’re going to be highly disappointed.
I’ll make the assumption you know nothing about web authoring tools and HTML/CSS. I suggest you look into Muse.

Please assist, i'm having trouble with seeing my images in adobe reader XI

I'm creating a presentation in google docs but when i download it as a pdf and view the file in adobe reader XI some of the photos that shows up perfectly in google docs is not appearing in adobe.
All i see is an empty box where the image should be with a red 'X' inside of it. This happens for quite a few images throughout the presentation.

I do not know Google Docs; is it Google that creates the PDF file? If so, you should ask Google what's happening.

Trouble with flash and image links

Hi
I have been using Dreamweaver for a while, but only for simple websites.
I have now started on a new site, using a template based on css, with two sidebars. I am new to using css, and are "learning by doing"
I wanted to use flash to make navigation buttons in the sidebar to the left, but when I put the flash into the box on the template it does not appear on the page in my browser, or it shows as a white field. So I moved the flash-file to the main part of the page, and it appears there. I have also attached links to the single buttons in the flash,when I made the flash-file, but they do not seem to work at all when I publish the site.
I gave up the project of using flash buttons as navigation and tried to use images instead in the sidebar. The problem then was that I get the blue borders around the linked images. I have found the solution to that of this forum, but as being new to the whole css thing I do understand how I can apply a rule, and where to do it.
My site is here: www.zookjempen.no/test
Here you can see my flash buttons in the middle of the page, but nothing happens when they are clicked. Originally I wanted these buttons on the left, where the white rectangle is, which is the same flashfile.
Could someone please try to explain to me why I get the white field instead of the buttons, and what I need to do to get the buttons to work when clicked?
As I said I am pretty new to css, so plain english would be great.
Thank you.

Thanks. I was thinking of doing screen captures and showing those. But, I fixed the problem.
Maybe it was my particular case, but it was sure screwed up. By recreating the Home page with the links at the top, checking to make sure it was OK, and then duplicating that page for remaining pages, I solved the problem.
Interesting though, even though my "Gallery" page was long ago deleted, if I change the name of a current page back to "Gallery", it gets screwed up again. (This, even though the page is working fine prior to the name change.) That's either my defective site or an iWeb bug.

Having trouble with full frame image

I want to make my image expand with the website and different screen sizes so it's always the full background. As you'll see on large screens it doesn't expand all the way and on the iPhone it doesn't as well. I've tried everything. I've stretched the box to both sides of the page as well as both top and bottom of page so you see the red appear around the box. I thought this would work. I've changed the page height from tall to short. I just can't figure out why it won't expand. Any suggestions?
as you'll notice at the bottom. I've made the background color of the land but where the water is it doesn't expand all the way.
as you can see on the phone it's worse and doesn't expand all the way
the site is www.montysbay.com/contact.html

Embed the image first:
[Embed(source="logo.gif")]
[Bindable]
public var imgCls:Class;
then assign it:
this.source = imgCls;

Having some troubles with annotations, hyperlinks, images within PDFs

Hello all.
I am having a few issues with my PDFs and I hope that someone can assist me.
First, I want to state that we are using LCES2 SP1, with Workbench, Designer, Workspace, PDF generator and Reader Extensions. We do not currently have Output.
Situation:
I have created several forms in Designer that present the user with information from an XML submitted via a .net app. The info includes customer data, URLs to other pages and a URL to an image/s which I embed within the PDF for presentation.
In addition to the customer data, the forms present one or more embedded images from the XML which are different every time(dynamically embedded in form). We also present several URLs from the XML which I have hyperlinked. We also need to capture Annotations/markups on the PDF.
I have the dynamically populated images displaying correctly to the user. Annotations and the hyperlinks are basically functioning correctly as well.
My issues:
The problems that I have encountered are:
1. The embedded images that are presented do not show the annotations on them. It seems as though the annotations are marking on the PDF behind the embedded images. For example, if I draw a line across the PDF, the line is there but will not show on the actual images. Is there a way to push the images back and bring the annotations etc in front?
2. The hyperlinks work correctly except that when we open the PDFs in Workspace, the hyperlinks open the page within the Workspace area. Is there a way to force the Hyperlinks from Workspace to open the page in a new browser tab or page? I have attempted to use the target="_blank" with no success.
3. The annotations are being captured and collected ok within LC. I can see the updated XML which includes the markups etc. I have attempted to then use the updated XML to present the PDF, including the annotations, to the next user in the TaskAssignment. Even using Reader Extensions, the annotations/drawings do not display to the next user in their Task. However, if I open the same document using Acrobat Pro, the annotations are displayed correctly. Anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong? Do we require the use of Output to flatten the document with the annotations?
Thank you all for your assistance
David

Hi,
three years later I have the same problem as David posted in no. 1.
I created a PDF form in LCD with image fields and text fields that are filled within another software. In LCD I placed the fields in the background. After the pdf fields have been filled within the other software the user wants to add markups and comments on it.
But the markups on the PDF appear behind the images and texts. I need the markups in front, how can I manage this??
Best regards,
MiHue

Trouble with aperture importing images or perhaps seeing drive.

i keep my images on an external bus powered drive (120gb lacie rugged drive), for a while aperture would let me import images (i want to use a referenced library) from this drive. at some point aperture would not see any of the images or folders on this drive. aperture may have appeared to think it was some other kind of volume? (a cf card perhaps?)
are there any known problem with bus powered drives and aperture?
this was all with the 30 day trial version which has since expired, i'm afraid that i am a little vague with info. to compound matters ive had a drive failure, so while this all happened with 10.4.8, but now i'm now back on 10.4.6.
i have an educational version (xmas present) that i can install, but before i break the seal and install it, i want to make sure that i will be able to use this drive to store my images.
thanks!

You were right the format was set to sRAW2 after resetting the files are seen by Aperture, however, a new problem has arise. The adjustment area only sees the normal and not the RAW. In other words adjustment tab is not designated in the tool section.
