Wireframe view in indesign like coreldraw

Hi all,
I have a query. i.e., is there any way to view the pages in wireframe view like coreldraw, as it makes easy to view all the objects and texts in the page.
Or else is there any other way we can view all the objects placed in a page, behind or with transparency etc., just for checking purpose that any unwanted objects is there, which can affect while printing.
thanks
regards

Well, I work for a huge, global company and we frequently have to edit OTHER artists' files. Some artists have very strange ways of building a complicated file and revealing layers is not always enough to discover what "junk" is hidden on a page.
I work in translation & localization, and I have seen everything, from files created by designers in "huge, global" companies all the way down to the mom & pop print shop down the street. I've handled InDesign files that started as idml written out of a database, InDesign files that started as PageMaker 5 files that were incrementally updated over the years, you name it.
I think that a wireframe view would be useful to people like you and me, but may I suggest an edit to your commentary? A classic copyeditor's comment: change from passive to active voice.
"It IS needed" -> "I NEED it."
If you want to trade tips on forensic disassembly & reassembly of crazy InDesign files, I'm game. But fighting with these guys over what the priorities of the engineers over at Adobe ought to be is a losing proposition for all parties. Who signs the paychecks for those engineers? It's not anybody in this thread, I think.
(OTOH, this thread led to the words "Bob's Software & Tanline Company" being posted. That was definitely needed.)

  • Where is wireframe view mode in Motion 5?

    Am I missing something, or is there no way to view, like in Motion 4 or FCP 7, a way to view and manipulate objects in wireframe view.  That way complex actions can be tweaked and viewed back in real time, without the heavy rendering.
    Maybe I just can't find the toggle.

    I've been through the apple archives for Motion manuals. Could not find a manual for 1.x, but since 2.0 onward, the options for wireframing have been the same: Emitters and Replicators. 3D scene icons are wireframed (that would be since 3.0).
    Your speed issues stem from Motion using floating point all the time now. There's no option to use 8-bit (integer) color.
    Turn off Field Rendering (docs say it nearly doubles rendering time and it's not necessary for non-broadcast projects) and Frame Blending.
    You can also reduce quality and resolution of the canvas (Render > Draft [or Half or Quarter]), but I haven't noticed very much benefit in speed increase by doing this.  You can also use the (Render>) Custom settings and turn everything off or set to lowest quality options. [The benefit of this is that Text quality is also included in the resolution settings.]
    Another option is to toggle visibility of layers. Turning off layers you don't immediately need to test an animation will speed things up considerably (depending on the object.)
    And lastly: RAM Preview. Set a play range of 2 - 3 seconds worth though, unless you have a huge amount of RAM available. Along with that, shut down all other running apps.

  • Can't open Desctop Content Viewer from InDesign CC2014

    Hi everyone,
    I urgently need to create one promo app using DPS. I'm using Adobe Creative Cloud 2014 and planned to use InDesign for creating this app. I have downloaded and installed  AdobeDigitalPublishingPatch-CC2014-31.0.1. yesterday. Everything worked fine. Unfortunately, today I can't preview my pages in Desktop Content Viewer as InDesign says it can't find it. When I tried to open Desktop Content Viewer from the folder Ive got this screen.
    What do I need to do to resolve that error. Please advise.
    Best regards,
    Jana

    I was trying to open and old .pmd Page Maker file that was created in a Windows version of Page Maker.  I am not sure what version they were saved in.  The file was created in July of 2006 if that helps.
    It's been a long time since I was up to speed on PageMaker. The pmd file extension refers to Pagemaker 5, right? InDesign should be able to import the output of PM 6.5 and PM 7, but I've found that the PM6.5 import is usually pretty decent, while for some reason the PM7 import is flaky. This probably is a result of changes in the way the documents were build by the, ah, "designers," and has comparatively little to do with the abilities of ID to open PM files of various versions. PM5, however, can't be imported by InDesign, I think.
    What happens when you try to open them? Does InDesign crash, or does it fail without an error message, or ??? More details, please.
    Is there a way to open this file.  I also have a pdf that I created from this file.  I have Acrobat CS4  Is there a way to export the pdf back to an Indesign file.  Just another thought regarding this file.
    Well, there's always the PDF2ID tool, but since PDF is an uneditable container format, the results of running a PDF through PDF2ID is not reliable. Sometimes you get something very much like the source document, but I've found that most often it is faster to rebuild from scratch. I didn't buy PDF2ID, but that is because my clients' bizarro formatting techniques break on conversion. A very simple document might come back a lot cleaner.

  • How to view PDF files like a flipping magazine?

    Hi, I am new here. I didn't know if it is the optimum catagory for my question, I hope you guys will help me.
    In brief, I want to view PDF files like a flipping magazine. You know, just the same flipping effect that ibook did on ios. Adobe reader is the only choice to browse PDF on computer for me. It's kind of bothering and annoying now.
    So, any ideas for that? Plus, my computer runs on win7 64bit.

    This is also a good site:  http://www.issuu.com/  You can sign up and use it for free or you can upgrade(for a price) to make custom changes (like background color, button color, etc.)  You can also embed the html code into your website if you would like someone to view it there.  Good luck!

  • How can I quickly view pdf files like I can do with Windows Picture and Fax viewer for jpg files?

    How can I quickly view pdf files like I can do with Windows Picture and Fax viewer for jpg files? I need to look at several thousand PDF files. It takes too long to open each one individually. The only thing I could think of is combining them into large groups and then using the Navigation index. But I like the way windows Picture and Fax Viewer does it because you can keep the files separate. Combining PDFs causes loss of individual file names. That would be a problem since I do need to have the individual file names.

    Windows Picture and Fax Viewer is a DLL and is started via a rundll32.exe call and can't be set as an application to handle images in Firefox 3 and later versions.
    Try to set Windows Picture and Fax Viewer as the default viewer in Windows, then it should be listed automatically in the Mozilla Firefox Browse dialog.

    I am working in photshop elements 13 organizer, album view, and would like to resequence (rearrange) the photos shown in the album but am unable to do so.  My understanding is that you can click on the phots that you want to move and drag it to a new location within the same album.  After i select the photo that I want to move and click on the photo, I get a cirlcle with a diagonal throught it and am unable to drag the photo to its new location.  What am I doing wrong?  I know this should be a simple thing to do.  Thanks

    Jimmy RG
    In the Elements Organizer 13
    The key to all this is to click on/select/highlight the Album that you have created in Local Albums.
    Then make sure that the Sort By: (in the row below the highlighted "Media" header is set for Album Order.
    You should see a number at the top left of each of thumbnails.
    Then, click on the thumbnail that you want to move, hold down the click, and drag the thumbnail to the wanted new location
    in the line up of thumbnails.
    Often I had to press down hard on the drag.
    Please let us know if that worked for you.
    Also, in Edit Menu/Preferences/Keyword Tags and Albums/Enable Manual Sorting Options, I set all for manual.

  • Is there a way to convert the wireframes created in InDesign to a clickable prototype?

    I have created wireframes in InDesign and trying to convert to a clickable and working prototype. Is there a way to convert the wireframes created in InDesign to a working prototype as HTML or clickable PDF?

    Yes, there are ways (read: you can find ways) to accomplish that, but it isn't really an intended workflow, so nothing about it is "automatic." In the time it will take to make a functional wireframe prototype with InDesign, you could be building the actual site. The features you need for rapid prototyping are found in Fireworks.

    I already bought mac book pro last year but it can't view windows just like mac pro for education. I want to make like mac pro for education How?

    First, if you have a MACBOOK PRO (a laptop), you should post in that forum. MAC PRO (desktop) and Macbook Pro are different things, so when you use those terms interchangeably, it's impossible to know what you're talking about.
    Second, even guessing that you have a laptop, I still have no idea what your question means. Are you trying to load Microsoft Windows on it? Every Mac can run Windows using either Boot Camp or Parallels/Fusion/VMWare solutions. Please explain in more detail what you're trying to do, and we'll try to help. But post in the Macbook Pro forum if you're talking about a laptop.

  • View forms sessions like Enterprise Manager

    I have exactly the same question as one here:
    View forms sessions like Enterprise Manager
    But that was archived so I can't reply. Basically, I want to find the client IP associated with a given frmweb process on the Fusion Middleware server running Oracle Forms. Other than checking EM, can this be done on command line, or find this info in any file? I've checked lots of log files and /proc (I'm on Linux), ran lsof and various other commands. None helped.

  • Noob Question 1: Selecting Objects On Layer Like CorelDraw?

    Hi,
    I'm moving from CorelDraw. (I know this makes a lot of people laugh, but it's a great program. I'm moving to Adobe just because the pre-press house we're using demands it.
    Anyhoo... In CorelDraw, there is a button one use to see in a sort of 'tree view' all the objects on a given layer. When you click on the layer, it opens the tree so you see the objects that belong there. This makes it -super- easy to select objects that are deep down/partially hidden.
    Is there anything like this in InDesign? Sometimes it's kinda hard to grab a particular object, especially when there are lots of things on top of one another.
    Ideas?
    TIA,
    ---JC

    No, nothing like that yet. You'll find that in Illustrator and it a requested feature for InDesign so you might just want to chime in here:
    https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
    That said, you can simply ctrl/cmd click to click down through a stack of objects.
