Working with CorelDraw into Indesign

I am trying to work with a manual that i am converting into Indesign. This particular file has 6 pages that have tables or multiple layers, how do I convert this to Indesign? I am at a loss, any help would help. I tried using a pdf but it won't let me either. Thanks!
Stephanie

There is no way to bring a file from CorelDraw into InDesign as an editable entity. Your best bet is probably to either export to .eps and edit in Illustrator (or .ai if your version supports it directly), or to export the individual graphical elements and place those, then rebuild the text in ID.

Will Adobe indesign cs6 books work with the adobe indesign creative cloud version?

Will Adobe indesign cs6 books work with the adobe indesign creative cloud version? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think, this question is a very good one.
If I have a *.indb document created in CS6, populated with InDesign documents from CS6, what to do, if I want to migrate my workflow to the latest version of InDesign CC-2014?
Short answer (avoiding trouble and headaches):
1. Convert all your InDesign documents from CS6 to CC-2014 (*)
2. Use NEW document file names for all your CC-2014 InDesign file types: *indd, *indt, *indl
3. Build your *indb documents for CC-2014 anew.
4. Use NEW document file names for CC-2014 InDesign file type: *indb
But isn't that a tedious task to do?
Yes. But fortunately there are some scripts around helping you with the conversion process.
See Peter Kahrel's website. Especially:

There are others as well…

*Before migration of the workflow batch export all InDesign CS6 documents to IDML and PDF.

No there is not. You are correct that Verizon will unlock it for international use, but they will not unlock it for domestic use. That is the way the US carriers work. Fortunately, the LTE enabled phones for Verizon are different. They are unlocked at the start on the GSM side, this was a requirement from the FCC for the allocation of additional LTE frequencies for Verizon. Not sure how long this will last, but your only choice is to use Verizon or to obtain a different phone. That 4S will not work with AT&T.

Working with Frames | Learn InDesign CS6 | Adobe TV

Everything that is placed into InDesign ends up in a frame. You can create frames from scratch, or if you "place" (import) text or images into a document, InDesign automatically creates the frame for you. We'll explore the use of frames in InDesign in this video.

Working with layers from InDesign to Acrobat

Hi, I'm currently creating a fairly large pdf document for a client which has pop-up effect windows in Acrobat. The artwork is created in InDesign and the file is exported as an interactive pdf with layers. In Acrobat I then make these 'pop-ups' visible then invisible when hovered over/moved away from respectively. I was at the finished stage, all interactive elements that couldn't be set in InDesign had been meticulously added in Acrobat. Twice now, however, my client has made a small change to one of the pages that has several of these layer effects on it and each time I replace the page in Acrobat I have to re-do all the interactive parts. My question is: Is there a way you can replace a page in Acrobat and retain the layer interactivity that existed on the original, outgoing page? It seems impossible as whether I delete the page first and insert the new one in its place, or alternatively do a straightforward 'replace', the outgoing page's layers are deleted with the page and the incoming page's layers come in - but with none of the interactivity. I have to set it all up again. Bear in mind these are interactive events that can only be set up in Acrobat, not in InDesign, and I suspect that's where the problem lies. The new completely wipes out the old. Does anyone have any advice on a work-around for this - or should I just go and open the wine early, take a deep breath and re-do all the interactivity for the third time? Many thanks for your time, whether the news is good or bad

If you need the black text to wind up on a separate printing plate from the black in the 4-color images, you will need to create a spot black, and set all your text (and table rules that will change) into that spot black.
I use this method to keep the pricing in my catalog separate, so I can print one version with prices, and one without.

Working with images in Indesign

I am a whole month into my first Tech Writing position and I am quickly losing what's left of my hair.
I am working on a document that was put together by my predecessor. It is a simple application note for a new software feature and has multiple images in it. Pretty basic formatting; image below the text refering to it, centered. The images have been placed with a text wrap (jump object). My problem comes when editing or replacing the text above the image. The image will stay in it's orientation to the page while the text continues to move. For example.
The document starts as:
XXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXX
image
I want to change it to:
XXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXX
image
But I am getting:
XXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXX
image
XXXXXXXXXXX
I realize that I may be asking for the impossible, but nothing ever changes when we just accept the status quo.
Thanks in advance for any help.

You can paste the image back into the text as an anchored object. Simple.

Ai created design to work with coreldraw

I am a screen printer and have Ai cs3. I use coreldraw for screenprinting and a client came with a Ai created design. I can open the design in coreldraw but I have to recreate the design in trace. I am not that familar with Ai but when I tried to print my design for color separation in Ai it does not allow me to separate the colors for setting up my film. Also the clients design was created in cs6.how do I convert a Ai design into coreldraw format or how to get the design to seperated in Ai for film plate processing. All help will be appreciated
Thanks

Depending on the version Corel Draw should be able to open AI CS4 or even CS5 files. You'll need at least version X5. But of course there will be losses.
What's in the file? Just simple paths? Has it been saved with PDF compatibility? Then you should be able to open it in your version of Illustrator and use it. The PDF part will then be opened, but paths should be intact. Save whatever file format Corel Draw can open.
If it is more than simple paths, you might get into trouble.
If it has been saved without PDF compatiblity, you're out of luck.
You'll need some understanding of AI files:

Working with layers in Indesign

is there a way to save the black separation or all of the black type only to a layer of its own. It would need to contain all of the black type and tables etc..? Leaving all of the 4c graphics on the base layer.
This a large document with hundred of pages and only black type changes are needed between the layers for versioning.

If you need the black text to wind up on a separate printing plate from the black in the 4-color images, you will need to create a spot black, and set all your text (and table rules that will change) into that spot black.

Importing multipage Word document w/hyperlinks into InDesign

I am new to InDesign and I am trying to import a 11 page Word document with hyperlinks into InDesign. For the life of me, I can not figure this out. I try to "put" the file into InDesign but it just imports as a tiny box. Two questions:
1. Does anyone know how to import a Word document where everything is left intact - formatting, line spacing and hyperlinks?
2. Can anyone recommend a good resource for beginners? Trying to learn the software is very challenging.
Thanks in advance for our help!

Matt: The 11 pages of information from Word still have to be laid out to 11 pages (or whatever) in InDesign. The little box you're talking about is a text box you either created before the Place command (with the text cursor waiting inside it) or created when you clicked the "loaded" cursor after the Place command.
You need to resize the box and link it to other boxes for the text to flow from one box to another. This can be a fairly automated procedure once you understand how to work in InDesign; it would require that you have your document designed with, say, a Master Page design, and then different choices of click, shift-click, cmd-click do different things: fill a single text box, fill "threaded" (connected) text boxes on pages you've created, or automatically create new pages as necessary to accommodate all the info you've brought in with the Place command.

How work with Large Applications in JHeadStart?

work environment:
JDeveloper 11.1.1.2.0
11.1.1.2.37 jheadstart
Hello, my problem is:
I have a database of over a hundred tables, I worked with jheadstart into a single application in JDeveloper with a model project and a project ViewController, but now I want to add developers to the same system. So I do not know what I should do to divide the work on my team.
I started by dividing the database schema in submodels, but up there.
I need some suggestions, some methodology to do this. It is worth mentioning that we will use a custom menu, custom skin and custom security.
I do not know what to do, if divided into several projects: Model and ViewController, or split applications of JDeveloper, or if I need a versioning system.
If there is any link that I provided where there is much information about it, would greatly appreciate.
Help please.
Thanks.

Rosario,
You should definitely use a versions system, SubVersion is a good choice.

Why won't drag and drop work with Library Assets in Illustrator or InDesign?

I've read a couple of threads with people having this issue, some dating back to late summer last year. I tried the fixes offered up in the responses, but haven't had success yet.
All my programs are up-to-date, but I cannot drag and drop graphics from my library into InDesign or Illustrator. Photoshop is working fine.
Are there any actual solutions to this yet?

What kind of graphic are you talking about? In the Library panel (Illustrator) or CC Library panel (InDesign) graphics are identified with a small label to tell what their source is (Ai, ID, PS, SVG, etc.)
And even though you say you have the latest version, exactly what version of InDesign do you have? You can see it in the About InDesign choice under the InDesign menu (Mac) or Help menu (Windows).

Working with Thai language in Indesign

Hello,
I hope someone can help. I need to incorporate Thai text (supplied by client), into some graphics produced in InDesign CS2 (running on OS 10.4)
I have managed to copy/paste some correctly displayed text from the web into TextEdit which is imported into InDesign. (Straight copying into InDesign leaves lines of boxes).
Seems ok but actually the character spacing gets distorted. Accents are slightly off and in some instances take up about a character space all to themselves.
I downloaded a freebie Thai font to try but this left me with squares again.
People must be able to work with Thai copy in industries such as translation but i'm not sure where to go from here! If the best option is to buy in some software, what would you suggest?
Any help gratefully received, with thanks. (From the UK)

As far as I can tell, inDesign CS2 is seriously crippled in Thai. Using Tiger (OS X 10.4.9) I can type or paste Thai text into inDesign CS2, but only as long as I use Apple fonts, i.e. Lucida Grande, Thonburi, Silom, etc.
Even then, inDesign frequently places line breaks in the middle of Thai words, so I assume it is not communicating with the same dictionary as TextEdit, Pages, Word, etc. Also, inDesign CS2 has problems with "floating" tone markers, even though Pages and TextEdit on the same machine do not.
CS3 might be better but I'm not there yet. I do know there is a software solution to improve Thai script performance in Illustrator and inDesign CS3. I don't know much about it other than that it's called Freelock and is mentioned in, and linked from, Graham Rogers' blog here: http://www.extensions.in.th/diary/2007_2/siam01.html

Importing Word into InDesign, problem with styles

OS 10.6, CS5
Hi everyone,
Does anyone have any experience with importing styled Word docs into InDesign?
Editors style their Word documents with some basic styles (Text, References, Headline, etc.) using a Word template that I created. Designers use import options to match the Word styles to the ID styles. This worked fine in Word 2004 and InDesign CS3: Word "text" style would map on import to the InDesign "text" style, even though they had totally different attributes. Superscripts, italics, etc. would be respected as local overrides in InDesign.
Then we upgraded to CS5. Automatic mapping on import no longer seems to work: After importing text, all the styles in InDesign have local overrides assigned to them that don't make sense (hyphenation exceptions, tab settings). So I'm left with importing the Word styles, using auto-renaming so that InDesign explicitly does NOT match styles.
Then delete the Word styles one by one from the paragraph style panel, replacing with the desired ID style.
This has gone on for several months and we've now upgraded to Office 2011 but that hasn't solved the problem.
With Word 2011 docx files, the import works almost like it did in CS3, the styles almost come in cleanly: If the style in Word has NO local overrides, such as italics or superscripts, the InDesign style is correctly applied. The problem is those local overrides in Word--InDesign not only respects the italic or superscript, it also respects the font attribute. All the Word styles are Times New Roman so all superscripts in InDesign are coming in as superscript + TNR. (see screenshot)
Are we left with our original work-around? Importing styles then manually deleting and replacing them?
This is frustrating because it used to be smooth and seamless and while some new features of CS5 are great, it's annoying that it's broken this fundamental function!
I've tried saving the Word files as doc or rtf instead of docx but this doesn't make a difference in this problem.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

I'm an author / publisher. I write in Word and I publish with InDesign. When I'm in the review stages, I like to edit my text in Word, so I export the text as an RTF. When I import it back into InDeisgn I often find that some of the styles have annoying overrides from Word that break things. (1) Paragraph style stuff about hyphenation and (2) Characters style stuff about Character direction: Left-to-Right style.
* Easy global fix: select the whole text open the Window | Style | Paragraph window, and click the button on the bottom to remove all overrides. And do the same for the Window | Style | Character window. Before doing this, I like to check that I don’t have any italics that are in the file as overrides rather than being in there as part of a header style or as part of the Emphasis style that I try to use throughout the text instead of just an italic override. It makes me uneasy to remove all overrides, as I always worry there might be an important one I could have kept.
* (1) Specific fix for the hyphenation overrides: Make sure the hyphenation settings in the individual InDesign paragraph styles match, so far as possible, the Word global hyphenation settings in the Page Layout | Hyphenation dialog of Word. InDesign will import any Word hyphenation settings that don’t match the InDesign doc styles as overrides.
Specifically, set InDesign Hyphen Limit to ( say) 1 and set Word | Hyphenation | Hyphenation Options | Limit consecutive hyphens to the same number (say) 1. Also set InDesign Paragraph Style Hyphenation | Hyphenation Zone to (say) 0.5” and set Word | Hyphenation | Hyphenation Options | Hyphenation Zone to the same number (say) 0.5”. And turn off all the InDesign optional hyphenation check boxes at the bottom of the dialog, and the turn off the two check boxes in the Word Hyphenation Options box as well.In Word you should also set Hyphenation | Automatic. If you cautiously set Word Hyphenation | None the import will throw a “Hyphenation” override on the hyphenated paragraph styles, even though this maikes no sense.
You may still pick up some hyphenation related overrides on your heder styles, if you have set the headers not to hyphenate. You can either dump the overrides in InDesign or you can set your header styles to hyphenate…and be careful not have any headers actually be longer than one line.
(2) I still haven't found the fix for the Left-to-Right text override.
