When placing file, font changes throughout file

I am working on a project and everything was fine a couple of days ago but last night when I tried to place a file, the font changes on all the other pages.I do have paragraph styles set up and even referenced a different file to make sure it's still set up right. I did have to make some changes but the biggest thing now is as soon as I click on the page where I want my file to be placed, the font changes throughout.
Please, help!

I tried clearing the formatting in Word before bringing the file over. I still had the same problem. Why would it work okay earlier this week and get funky on me now?
What is the better way?
There is local formatting done. Where do I adjust the default for placing a file because I'm not telling it to use that paragraph style, it does it automatically.
I realize I need to start fresh. I'm using styles that were established years ago by someone else. I'm not sure how to build from scratch. Can you send me in the right direction for good tutorials?
For now, I need to finish this issue because it's late. After that, I'll get a new format prepared.

Password required when placing file in Trash?

Hello everyone!
Since upgrading to Maverick, I am required to enter my password each time I want to place a file in the trash. Also, it automatically empties the trash, rather than just placing it in there for me to empty the trash manually. How can I fix this?
I'm really NOT a computer geek, so please bear with me and keep it simple!
Thanks!

CS4 Set default file type when placing file

The File->Place dialog box has a default file type of 'Importable files.' Is it possible to set the default to All files (or anything else)? Making the change manually does not seem to stick. I have the same general question regarding File->Open. A search of the forums returned one hit (unanswered) in the Dreamweaver forum.
Thank you.
Dick Conrad

Peter:
Good question. One of our editors made this request, and I believe that he works with files that lack extensions. But controlling the default would also let us go in the other direction: quickly see only .rtf or .txt files, for example.
Any trick would be impractical if it lived in InDesign Defaults. All ID users get the same copy, and no two editors would want the same filter.
Thanks for your response.

InDesign CS3 (XP SP2) crashes when placing files

Hi,
every time I try to place an image file etc. into InDesign CS3 (Windows XP, service pack 2) the "place" dialogue pops up for a split second. Then, InDesign freezes. Version Cue is not activated (when I was activated Photoshop CS3 would do the same).
I'd be more than happy if someone has a hint since naturally InDesign is pretty useless when you cannot place anything. On a sidenote though you can drag files from the explorer into CS3 without it crashing.
Any help's greatly appreciated.

Sorry to hear the trick didn't work. Another oft mentioned idea is to open a dialog in Photoshop and resize it. A third is to hit Alt + Spacebar, then M, and then an arrow key, and finally to move the mouse around and see if the dialog appears at the edge of the screen.
The 3-key keyboard shortcut only works when you are opening InDesign from the start menu or a desktop shortcut, and you have to be REALLY fast. Renaming the prefs files (while ID is closed) is more reliable, but won't give you any indication that the files are being replaced, other than you'll see the welcome screen and everything will be reset to defaults.

When placing a Illustrator file in Indesign, the Illustrator file sometime changes from 100%.

When placing a Illustrator file in Indesign, the Illustrator file sometime changes from 100%. When you select the placed file with the selection tool, it says 100%, but if you select with the direction tool, file has been changed any where from 98 to 102 %, not staying at the 100%? why is this and how can you asure the size does not change when placed or when updating the illustrator link?

Probably you have inserted files in a frame whose content was previously adequate with "Fit Content Proportionally" or "Fill Frame Proportionally".
The new content in the same frame will have the same characteristics as the previous one

Font change when converting a Word File

I write documents using heading styles to automatically generate Tables of Contents, using Word 2003. When I convert the document to PDF, everything is normal.
When I transfer the same file to my laptop, which uses Word 2007, and try to convert the file to PDF, the TOC and Heading fonts change from Arial to Times New Roman. (The rest of the text stays in Arial).
What am I doing wrong?
The version of Acrobat (X) is used.

Are you stating that the file previews correctly and only changes upon creating the pdf?
Are you creating your pdf via printing to the Adobe PDF Printer or creating pdf via the Word button?
What pdf settings? Avoid Smallest File Size or Standard

HELP! Fonts change/get knocked out when files sent to rip and printed

When ripping files for print from InDesign CS3 some fonts - sometimes the first letter of the word or the last letter of a word or a letter in between - is replaced by a box with an X in it. It would not be a consistent incidence but rather sporadic and so we've had to re-print many publications. We've started make a pdf and then placing it in InDesign CS3 before ripping. This problem did not occur with CS2. Any suggestions?
Also, does anyone know if InDesign CS4 has the inbooklet or any other similar feature?
Thanks.

Try sending Complete rather than Subsetted fonts when printing, perhaps? (Print dialog->Graphics->Fonts->Download->Complete.) You can try toggling the "PPD" checkbox there too. Sometime flipping it the other way helps with print problems.
Lastly, it never hurts to set subsetting to 0% when saving Illustrator files placed in the document, with the theory being that if you send complete copies of the font everywhere, all the letters will be available for printing, even if something along the line gets confused and uses the wrong version.

Placed files don't update when changed

For some reason when I place PSD files into Illustrator, they no longer update when changed.
I've tried setting preferences to both 'Ask When Modified' and 'Automatically'...
It used to work OK, just in the past month or so it's stopped.
Also I notice that when I place a PSD file it is asking me if I want to flatten layers, which it didn't used to, as far as I remember.

Right you iz.
You can always use the Place command to replace an embedded file with a linked one.
If you've got Shift or Shift Lock held down, files will embed when placed or dragged in from the finder, otherwise they'll be linked.

Illustrator files sometimes have a white BG when placed in InDesign

What determines if an Illustrator .ai file or Illustrator .eps file will have a white background when placed in InDesign? Usually when I place a .ai file, the background is white, and when I place a .eps file, the background is transparent. But I have noticed in other people's files that placed .ai files have a transparent background. In all cases, the placed file is pure vector. I would prefer that the background be transparent all the time, unless I give the object frame a while fill in InDesign.

This Gaussian Blur is probably created as a bitmap effect, not as live transparency. That makes sense, too, since EPS doesn't support transparency effects.
No option to change this in InDesign, unless you want to resort to ad hoc hacks such as setting the entire image to "multiply".
You can try to get hold of the original Illustrator file; if the blur is done as a transparent effect in that, ID sohuld be able to process it correctly.

Colour shift when placing PSD files into illustrator

Hi there
I have tested this issue on CS 3,4 and 5.
bascially if I create a CMYK document with a colour image and save this down as a psd file with the coated Fogra 39 embedded in it. If I create a new file within Illustrator with the same colur management and place the psd file into the document and check the link option (so it is a linked file), the colour shifts when using the colour picker. If I print the document from each APP they visually look different as well.
If I place the psd into illustrator without selecting the link option the colour has the same CMYK values as the psd within Photoshop and also prints correctly.
i can only assume that there is an option somewhere in regards to the "link" option and how this changes tha colour values somewhere? If not is there anyway I can get around this issue so I can use linked files without the CMYK values changing?
Thanks in advance
Paul

Hi guys
Thanks for the responses.
I use bridge to blanket the colour settings so this i feel this is not the issue here. If you have a moment and would kindly create a colour tint within PS of what ever colour, save this down as any format and place this into illustrator with the link checkbox checked you will see the colour data has physically changed for the CMYK values. This results in the prints looking different as well. If you deselct the link check box when placing the file the CMYK values are the same.
I tried the overprint preview option. This changes the viewable colour on screen but not the CMYK data of the file.
There seems to be a fundamental floor with this link option for some reason.
I might have phone Adobe direct for this iisue as I cannot find a fix for this.
Many thanks
Paul

Placed files color values change

When I open up a cmyk doc in photoshop, fill it with values that make a black, lets say c=60 m=40 y=30 k=100, then save it and then place the file in a cmyk Illustrator doc, the values are no longer 60,40,30, 100. When I hover the dropper over the swatch - they have changed rather dramtically - in this case to 75, 67, 67. 90. I thought the adobe programs were supposed to maintain consistancy on something like this. I have the color settings managed by bridge saying that all the programs are color synchronized. Anyone know what could be causing this?

Mylenium (or whoever)
Well, I am just using a very basic example for this forum discussion. My sycnchronized settings are the "North America Prepress 2" (althought I also tried "North America General Purpose 2" with no luck) I start a new cmyk file in photoshop 300x300 pixels. Profile defaults to "US web coated swop 2" via the "north America prepress 2" color settings. I go to the color mixer and enter values C=60 Y=40 M=30 K=100 then fill the foreground with that color.
Then save as psd file - making sure to "save with the ICC profile" option (US web coated swop 2) is checked.
In illustrator, I open a new cmyk file.(again, illustrator is synched to have the same color settings) I go to file/place and place the file as a linked file I just created in photoshop. When I measure the values on the file I just placed with the eye dropper which were 60,40,30100 in photoshop - they now have become C=75.02, Y=67.97, M=67.02, K=90.16 in illustrator. It makes no sense.....I don't know what I could be missing. It doesn't matter what color I use either...it could be values that make a red or blue....it comes out different in illustrator. Now, I discovered that if I unlink the placed file (embed it) then suddenly the values become much closer to what they should be (within 1%) But I'd still like it to work how it should when I place the linked file.
Hopefully that helps you see exactly what I am doing.

Need help. I am running a 27 in imac with 16 gigs of ram. Photoshop runs really fast, except when opening files. It takes 5-10 minutes to open even a small file of 1 meg. I cleaned and validated all the fonts and removed all questionable fonts. Reset preferences and still have problem. Slow to open and in force quit "Photoshop not responding" At this point should I uninstall and start over.

Disappering cursor when placing multiple file in Indesign.

When placing multiple file (jpeg, tiff's, pdf files,etc.) in a indesign document, my cursor disappears. If you can get to the desktop and click on it, it will come back.
first started in Indesign CC 2014, Any fix for this?
Thanks, Dennis

Hi,
This is an expected behavior, when you place an image in InDesign then it display the preview of the image however you this has no impact on the output unless the image placed is of low-resolution itself.
In order to have good resolution of images, you may switch to View > Display Performance > High Quality.
Thanks,

Why does a TIF image look blurry when placed in InDesign file?

Hi all,
I've placed a logo in my InDesign file that I saved out of Photoshop. It appear blurry when in InDesign and I do have it set to high image quality display so that isn't the issue. It is also set as CMYK and I haven't resized it after saving from Photoshop.
I tried saving a jpg so it would be crisper but then I have a white box behind it when placed in the InDesign file.
Any help is greatly appreciated as I need to send it to print but can't let it go until I'm sure it won't print like a blurry mess.
Thanks

Sub-pixel sampling. Read up on it. you are placing your images at odd values and it gets resampled. Can be anything from the image inside the frame, the image frame itself, some styling option in ID...
