I may have something but I'm not sure why it matters. When I upload images onto a my mac, they arrive as .JPG files, but if I right click on the image in the finder and select "Convert image" then select Large (which actually dramatically reduces the size of the image), it is then saved as a .jpeg file. When I place .jpeg files into InDesign, the defaults are respected. When I place a . JPG file, it changes the Frame Fitting Options to "Fit Content Proportionally." I'm not sure why this is but it works for me. Still have to convert all my images from .JPG to .jpeg though.

Barb, Yes, halfway fixed! That eliminated the space at the top and bottom (there were some unusual measurements in the "crop amount" boxes. However, my Content Fitting options refuse to be reset to "none" and are staying on "Fit Content Proportionally" no matter what I try. I've tried quitting InDesign, restarting, and opening a new blank doc, checking the Frame Fitting Option (they were set to None/zero crop amount), then placing a vertical image. It immediately changed the fitting option back to "Fit Content Proportionally." I've also tried resetting the "Essentials." I also quit, then opened the application without creating a document, went to Object > Fitting > Frame Fitting Options, and found all the defaults as you recommend above (None/zero crop amount). Regardless of that, when I create a new document and place an image, it reverts to "Fit Content Proportionally." This is really weird and I can't seem to clear that default.

I've been using InDesign for over 20 years and only recently started experiencing this problem. The frame is always horizontal no matter how tall I make it. I'm thinking more than likely either I have inadvertently changed my settings or an update by Adobe has modified the way images are imported.

I am placing images into a document template and would like them to fit edge to edge within the template's column guides. When I select an image to place, then draw a marque from column guide to column guide the image appears with about 3 points of transparent padding above the image's top edge; it also creates a fixed proportional frame, which results in vertical images with white space on either side. Yes, I can fix this by cropping, but this extra step wasn't necessary before. In the past, I would select an image to place, drag to a frame to my desired width and the image would fill the width with the height remaining proportional to the original image's height. The placed image seems to be fixated on the vertical dimension. How do I need to adjust my settings so the image fits the width I've indicated (without top/left inset from the frame) while maintaining the proportion of the original? Mac OS 12.6.6; InDesign v.18.3

I have a large report created in InDesign, which I would like to make available online. I successfully formatted the pdf to be viewed as two-up with cover and to adjust to the viewer's window size upon opening. Most people, however, will be viewing the pdf in their browser. When opening in Chrome the pdf is no longer formatted as designed. Is it possible to get the formatting to "stick" when opening a multi-page pdf in a browser window? I'm creating the document on a Mac os12.6.3 and use a Chrome browser, v.110.0.5481.100.

I'm using Ps 24.1.0, on a MBP, OS v. 12.6.2 I want a transparent green fill with a 100% opaque black stroke. The appearance panel doesn't allow these modifications separately. Thanks in advance!

SJRiegel, thank you for your reply. Unfortunately the above steps resulted in my lines turning all white (no color). I'll do some additional research on how to use a transparency mask.

I would like to apply a screen (or "screen back" the color) on one side of a series of lines, to get the effect of a shadow. Each descending line is lighter in color and shorter in width. I converted them to shapes, then created a randomly-shaped white polygon over one side and reduced the opacity to 40%. It looked fine until I viewed the transparent png file, on which the white polygon shows...not what I was going for. How can I screen back part of the lines? I've tried pasting a duplicate set of the lines in front of the original set, using clipping masks to cut one side off of the top set, and the other side off of the bottom set, then reducing the opacity on the bottom set, but this didn't work and seems like a tedious workaround. Is there a simpler way to create this shadow effect across a series of lines? I need to have a transparent background. MacBook Pro OS12.6.1; Adobe Illustrator v.27.1.1

This has been solved. When opening a packaged .indd file and seeing "Issues with Links" alert with yellow triangle: 1. Click "update modified links" 2a. You *may* be able to simply go to the links options (three lines/hamburger icon) and select "Update all Links" OR 2b. You might need to first select one of the links, then select "Relink to Folder" then choose the Links folder that is in the packaged folder to designate where Id should find the links. THEN select from the Links options menu "Update all Links." All links should then update at once from that folder. The opt+click-on-link icon at bottom of the Links list doesn't appear to be working any longer for relinking all the links.

None of the file names or folder names are altered. We download the entire packaged folder, the indd file is not dragged out of the folder at any time.

My team is also experiencing this same problem, the "Search for Missing Links in this Folder" option is greyed out when we try to update links and the solution below is not working. We package our InDesign files so all links are collected into a Links folder within a folder that results from the packaging process. Once another person downloads the packaged folder from our shared drive all the links "break." The only solution is to relink every image file individually and this takes FOREVER. I tried restarting InDesign and immediately pressing Shift+Option+Command+Control, then clicked YES to "delete the preference files," but this has not helped. When I'm in the Links folder within my document and I hover over the 'Relink' icon, I see a tip that says "opt+click to relink all files." This does nothing, not even the image I've currently selected is relinked. I am working on a MacBook Pro, OS 12.2.1, using InDesign 17.3.; my colleagues are also using our InDesign team license but working on Windows operating systems.

I'm having this same problem, I have two screens and have aligned them in the Systems Prefs so they are side-by-side as mag-man suggests then closed and reopened InDesign but it's still off the screen. This solution doesn't work. Mac os 12.2.1

I'm working on a 78 MB Id document that I share with my team. We store the Id file on SharePoint and download it to our desktops when it's necessary to make changes. My officemates use Windows OS 10, I use macOS 12.2.1. I'm using Id v. 17.2.1. When I open the file on my desktop it tells me I am missing three fonts: all Avenir (TT), i.e., true type. Our organization's brand font is Avenir.oft, which our team has loaded on all our computers. InDesign somehow finds Avenir (TT) and uses it on random bits of text (usually corrections). Once I save/close/reopen the file tells me Avenir TT is now missing and will not replace with Avenir (oft). There seems to be a glitch in the Pre-Flight panel, as the "change to" font gets stuck on Avenir TT (the missing font). If it's missing, how did it get there in the first place?? In fact, neither version of Avenir show up on the options available for substitution in the Pre-Flight details. I've defined all my styles as Avenir.oft in my style palettes. I end up manually finding each violation and correcting it by finding/replacing the font (which I have to type in because the InDesign doesn't list either version of Avenir in the Replace with > Font Family > options). How can I stop this substitution and get rid of Avenir TT?

Photoshop 23.0.1 macos Monterey, 12.2.1 (recently updated) What isn't happening: When I create (for example) four shapes on four separate layers, then attempt to select one of the shapes by clicking on that shape in the workspace (not the layers panel), the object is not selected and no anchor points appear, the layer in the layers panel is also not selected. The only way I can select that object is to go to the layers panel and manually select it. What I expect: In the past when I click on an object with the move tool, anchor points appear and that object's layer is selected in the layers panel. This was a huge time saver. What I've tried: In the move tool optionss, auto-select is checked and "layer" selected on the tool dropdown menu. I have reset my preferences and restarted Ps, I also reset my workspace to essentials. None of these actions help. Has anyone else experienced this? How do I fix this problem?

I just worked a really long time to get a large document into a pdf format that is 2-up with cover (so the spreads read as spreads). Only to find out that once our IT team put it on our website, the pdf reverts to 1-up when viewed with the Chrome browser.Although there is a hidden option to view 2-up, in Chrome there isn't an option to view in 2-up with cover so all the page spreads are completely useless. Firefox also ignores the view specifications, but in Firefox you can (if you somehow know there's another way to view the file) select view even or odd spreads (why would anyone go to this trouble??). So maddening. Is there anyway to "lock" the view so that the browser doesn't modify it?

@rob day Thanks for that insight, I hadn't considered that when making the screenshots. Ultimately I think that means I need to save larger files so that the final user/viewer will be able to zoom in to see the details and notes. One way I've done it in the past is to insert a full-size (48"x36" or 36" x 24") pdf into the final document pdf. This messes with the 2-pages-up spread orientation of the pdf but at least it's more legible.

@J E L, I'm using InDesign because we overlay the rendering with details about the project. Then I'm incorporating the renderings into a multi-page document. When people zoom into the pages online to look at the rendering, the rendering looks blurry even though it's reduced in size from the original.

I save the rendering as a jpg because it is a photo (scan) of a drawing that also includes text and color. I will try TIFF though, that could be a solution. I'm interested in your comment "This is not how architectural drawing get to online!" How exactly DO they get to be online please?

This certainly isn't a stupid question, but it is stupid that finding your own posts is so hard to figure out! My problem was I couldn't find my posts at all. The replies to this thread only located your missing posts. For everyone else who, like me, can't find their posts The ANSWER is: Click on your community profile icon in the upper right From the drop-down menu select "My Profile" This will bring up a page that shows your posts It would be nice to have a "My posts" button in the drop-down menu!
