When I open InDesign files from our design team, the fonts don't show up even though I have them installed on my computer. How do I get it to recognize fonts I have installed?

I use my Adobe programs from the Creative Cloud. When our design agency sends me files, I open them and fonts I have on my computer aren't showing up when I open the file. Everywhere online it says I need to add the fonts to InDesign's font file, but since I'm working out of the Creative Cloud, I don't have that option. How do I get InDesign to recognize these fonts when I'm opening files from our agency?

ID sees fonts installed on your computer and contained in a Document Fonts folder in the same folder as the document, if one exists.
I don't really understand what you are saying about fonts you have installed not showing up. And cloud makes no difference -- all the applications and support files are installed on your hard drive.

    Hello, I have a Mac computer with NVIDIA 750M dedicated graphics card and monitor EIZO but the problem was there when I was working with Windows and Acer monitor. When I open a file from Camera Raw in PS this is smaller than the screen so I double-click with the tool "hand" to fit on the screen, but the picture loses sharpness and becomes blurry. If you magnify the image even only slightly with the tool "zoom" the picture comes back clear. In Camera Raw instead is always sharp. I solve the problem by turning off the graphics card in PS but often use plugin that need the graphics card otherwise the processing time is much longer. I ask for help.
    Thanks.

  • I can't save previous word files I have into iWork's, I have dropped the file into pages, but it says it can't convert text, even though I have changed a selective fond from pages

    I can't save previous word files I have into iWork's, I have dropped the file into pages, but it says it can't convert text, even though I have changed a selective fond from pages! Help!

    Take us through this in more detail.
    What is the Word file? From a PC?
    What version of Word and what is the file extension?
    What is it about the text that is different?
    When you say fond do you mean font/typeface? If so what font, and is it on your Mac? Is there something special/different about this font?

    Why is OS X Lion showing download even though I have the most current version?

    Hi..
    Nothing to be concerned about. The download is available if you want to download Lion again to create an install disc or re download Lion on any other authorized Macs you have for free using the same Apple ID.

    Often malware  changer your system tcpip host file to redirect ip addrress.  Your "Host" file has no extension and normally is not redirecting much may look like MS default one which is all comments

    The display on my monitor is too large (can't fit the whole screen on my monitor) even though the resolution is correct.  Suggestions?

    Sounds like it may just be enlarged. Have you tried holding down the <ctrl> key and moving the mouse up and down, or scrolling your finger up and down if you have a magic pad.

  • Cant open InDesign files from mac on pc

    I am trying to open some InDesign files made on a mac on my pc but it does not work.
    I have the latest version of InDesign on my pc computer. 
    We have tried:
    Open the mac files as they are.
    Resave the mac files as old indesign format and open them on PC
    Export from mac to IDML files and open those files on the pc.
    Open the file on my pc as a "copy"
    Nothing works.
    I get the message:
    Either the file does not exist, you do not have permission, or the file may be in use by another application.
    Having a deadline for this project very very soon so really need to fix this. Any ideas out there?

    I dont know what the orginal mac version is for this. And it will take some time to find out.
    Can i see this somewhere? Could this make a difference?
    Use this: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/934429
    Yes it makes a difference. First off, my script checks if it's indeed an InDesign file. If it is, it tells what version the file was created with (and recent versions of the script will also helpfully tell you what that means for you, i.e., whether or not you can open it with your version of inDesign).
    Further check: nothing weird in the file name? Don't assume -- delete the original file name and type in something reasonable. There are lots of weird Mac symbols that may have hitched a ride along.
    If that does not work: either post the file somewhere for us to look at (preferred), or open it with a hex editor and show us the first couple of bytes. This so we can verify what it is.

  • Can i open inDesign files from PC on an iMac?

    I'm looking to upgrade to a Mac. Will I be able to take my old PC Creative Suite 3 files and open them on a Mac, with an updated version of CS?

    Of course you can do that,there is no difference if you open a file on a Mac or a Pc and all the CS files are  readable by the updated version of CS.

  • When I open a document from a website in the browser a copy is saved automatically by download helper even if I just want to view.

    When I click to view a word, excel, PDF or other file on a website I am presented with a window that says
    "you have chosen to open ........etc What should Firefox do with this file?
    Open with
    Save file....."
    If I choose the option "Open with" the file opens and I can view the file but the file is automatically downloaded and saved. I then have to navigate to the folder on my hard drive by right clicking on the item in the downloads window, selecting open containing folder and then physically deleting the file. If I don't do this then the containing folder saves the unwanted downloaded file.
    Do I have a setting wrong/how can I stop Firefox/download helper from automatically downloading files I only want to view?

    A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
    If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.

  • Can I Open Indesign File In CorelDraw Without Losing The Applied Effects?

    i have been using Indesign for quite some time now and i have considerable experience in Corel too. My problem is that if i export an indesign file as PDF and then open it in CorelDraw, the file loses the effects i applied.
    For example i apply blur effect on a picture in Indesign and after exporting it as a PDF, i open it in CorelDraw, the file would lose the Blur effect i applied.
    I am confused how to retain the effects i applied in Indesign so that it shows up in Corel as well.I DO NOT wish to edit the file in Corel because the file would be transferred for printing purpose only.
    Thanks in advance

    Adobe and Corel products handle effects (like blur, or dropshadow, or even gradients) completely differently from each other. The only chance of having them move from one to the other is to rasterize any such effects before making the PDF (DO NOT save this over your original file!).
    Note that I said it's a chance. Even these will be mishandled from time to time.
    Good luck.
    OB
