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.

Hi,
I am using your software: CS6 InDesign Suiteon a PC using a Windows 7 operating system.
Due to eyesight issues, I need to have the menu bars of programs in easy-to-read font and picture size. Specifically, the menu bar across the top (File, Edit, View, etc.), and the menu bar on the left side with the graphic depiction of options.
In earlier versions of Windows (e.g. XP), whenever I changed the screen resolution on my computer to a lesser resolution in order to show the link icons on my desktop in a larger, more readable size, all the software programs, including yours, appeared on my screen with the menu bars in the larger font size that I needed.
However, in Windows 7, this is not the case. Even though I have selected the lowest resolution, making the icons on my desktop extremely large, I cannot read the options across the top menu bar of your program, nor the pull-down menu items that they contain. I cannot see the graphic depictions of options on the left side of the screen. They are all too small. How can I make your program increase the size?

CS6 is not high-DPI compatible/ enabled and that can't be changed. If you cannot6 make it work with your operating system means, then short of joining Creative Cloud and using newer versions there is nothing you can do.

If possible, please try Indesign CS 4.

PDF files cannot be natively opened in InDesign. They can only be placed as graphics.

How to set unequal columns using master pages in InDesign CS3?

I don't have CS3 anymore but I don't think this has substantially changed in the last few versions of InDesign.
Choose View > Grids & Guides > uncheck Lock Column Guides. Then drag the column guides to the position you want.

What is the use of EPS\out in trans directory???

What is the use of EPS\out directory?????

Hi venkatesh,
There was once a transaction called SPADE , which existed in SAP 4.6C, however it doesn't seem to exist right now and I am not sure if there is a new transaction available anymore.
The SPADE transaction was built for creating CRT or Conflict Resolution Transports, check help.sap.com for more details.
When you created a Conflict Resolution Transport its .PAT and .ATT files used to exist in EPS/out directory.
SAP Partners could create their own Add-Ons (their own products that are built around the SAP Server) and provide CRTs to address any conflicts between support packages.
Hope that helps.
Regards,
Siddhesh

How do I use Quite Imposing in Indesign CS6?

My employer swears his previous designer used quite imposing through indesign on a daily basis, but I can't figure anything out about this. I know its a plugin, but I can't find my list of plugins anywhere either. All I need is to find the program, and I can figure out the settings myself, I just can't find the darn thing to begin with.

As Bob says, QUite imposing is an Acrobat Plugin.
Steve Sterling has written a new plugin for ID CS6 that looks interesting, and is less expensive. You can get more info and a demo at Overview | IDImposer

Unable to use 'q' in Adobe InDesign

Apparently I am unable to use the 'q' key within a text box in InDesign. As you can see - I am able to use 'q' outside of InDesign and it also works in at least Photoshop and Dreamweaver out of the Creative Cloud.
Anyone else having a similar problem?
I am using a new MacBook Pro Retina if that aids diagnostics.

We actually can't see anything. I suspect you tried to attach some images, but attachments onthe forum have been disabled for years. You can post a link to images stored on a server, or embed them in your posts using the camera icon on the web page, like this:
I'm not sure why the Q key wouldn't work. Is this true in all files, just one file or only new or only old files? Does it happen in a new user account?

Using Delphi, and the InDesign automation object ("indesign

Using Delphi, and the InDesign automation object ("indesign.application"), I need to open a indd file, move to a bookmark and insert text or picture at that exact location. Any examples of such code I could start with?

Hi Bill,
Sorry to be so late getting to this thread!
If you want to add something to a page, or find an object that's on a page, you need a reference to the page. Simply displaying the page with ShowBookmark won't give you a reference to the page--InDesign scripting, for the most part, doesn't rely on the selection and current view in the way that Word scripting does (this is a good thing, but that's a topic for another day).
You had to have a reference to a page to create the HyperlinkPageDestination that you used to create the bookmark--but, if not, you can get a reference to the page using (VBScript form):
Rem Given a reference to an instance of InDesign "myInDesign"...
myInDesign.Bookmarks.Item("Description").ShowBookMark
Set myPage = myInDesign.ActiveWindow.ActivePage
In general, though, you probably don't need the bookmark and the whole "ActiveWindow" construct--just use the reference to the page itself.
Now that you have a page, you can put things on the page.
Rem Create a rectangle
Set myRectangle = myPage.Rectangles.Add
Rem Size and position the rectangle
myRectangle.GeometricBounds = Array("6p", "6p", "24p", "24p")
Rem Place a graphic in the rectangle
myRectangle.Place "c:\test.tif"
If you have a text frame on the page that has the label "myLabel", you can get a reference to the text frame and add text:
Set myTextFrames = myPage.TextFrames.Item("myLabel")
Rem myTextFrames will return an array--get the first item
Set myTextFrame = myTextFrames(0)
Rem Replace the text in the text frame:
myTextFrame.Contents = "This is some text."
Rem Or add text to the end of the text frame:
myTextFrame.InsertionPoints.Item(-1).Contents = "This is some additional text."
If you know that there is only one text frame with the label "Description" in the entire document, you can even say:
Set myTextFrames = myDocument.TextFrames.Item("myLabel")
Rem myTextFrames will return an array--get the first item
Set myTextFrame = myTextFrames(0)
...to get to it directly. If, at that point, you want to get at the page containing the text frame (and assuming that the text frame is not in a group, pasted inside text, or pasted inside another page item), you can use:
Set myPage = myTextFrame.Parent
Have you looked through the "Working with Documents" chapter of the InDesign CS3 Scripting Guide: VBScript and the associated scripts archive? I realize that you're using Delphi, but it doesn't look too difficult to convert from one to the other.
Thanks,
Ole

Get colour values from Placed (illus) EPS in indesign

Hi Forum,
There are ways to find colour values of the objects created in indesign native file. thanks to ~Trevor~ for have taught me, how to script & find fillColor using GREP preferences...
but, is there any way to script "find color values on the placed illustrator eps file in indesign", Illus. Eps is in CMYK mode...
thanks
Sha...

Here's how to convert RGB to CMYK:
function rgb2CMYK (r,g,b){
    var color = app.documents[0].colors.add({space:ColorSpace.RGB,colorValue:[r,g,b]});
    color.space = ColorSpace.CMYK;
    var retVal = color.colorValue;
    color.remove();
    return retVal;
The same idea for the reverse.

Can't save as 'eps' in Indesign cs6 trial.

I am trying to design a logo and I am using a trial version of Indesign cs6. However, it will not let me "save as" an eps file. It only allows 'indesign cc template", "indesign cc document" and "Indesign CS4 or later". How can I save my logo as an 'eps' on a transparent background so I can use it in the creation of my business card?

All the google help pages say that you can save an eps file on a transparent background
For example; http://smallbusiness.chron.com/create-eps-file-transparent-background-52652.html
But I don't have the option in my Indesign "save as" > "format" drop down menu. It is so frustrating.
I have been able to do it before, in Indesign cs6 on a PC.
When you save a logo as an 'eps' file you onle see the actual logo making it very easy and functional to work with when using the logo to create a design. When you save it as anythig else the logo appears on a white page. Like a letterhead. on a document.

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.
