Links to original image locations are managed with the Links manager panel in InDesign.  They can go missing when: someone renames the image file in their original location removed the image file from their original location You'll literally have to go find the images again on their respective systems in their folders and relink them to create a PDF that contains image without only getting a low quality preview of the image in the PDF. When your Screen mode is set to Normal, and View > Extras has Link Badges show images will display a missing link icon in the top left (or other location if the image has been rotated). It will also show up in the Status column in the Links manager. You can use the Links manager to manage all the links in your document, it has an added advantage in that you can actually see WHERE the image link originated from originally... which can be a good help in finding the image and restoring its Links. Select an image with a missing links badge Click the disclosure arrow to the left of '1 Selected' to see the Link Information. Look for the Path option and hover the mouse over the path name, it will show the full name where the image is located. To fix a missing link: Click on the Link badge on the image, or double-click on the Link bade in the Links panel, and follow the prompts and navigate to where the image is stored and select it. ...

Are you on Windows or Mac?  How are you creating the PDF from Word? If you are on Windows, and use the Acrobat Ribbon. Click Preferences before you click Create PDF The Settings tab gives you access to the PDF Maker Settings. Change the Conversion Settings to Smallest Files Size and see it it makes a difference. You can verify where the extra megabytes in the PDF you created comes  as well as try and reduce it using Acrobat. Click Tools in the 'Find your tool here' search box type 'Optimize'. You should see 'Optimize PDF' as a tools option, with 'Advanced Optimization' listed. Click on Advanced Optimization. You'll prompted to save the document (use a different name so you don't overwrite the original PDF you created). Click Audit space usage. Based on the information in the Audit Space Usage dialog box you can then use the PDF Optimizer to reduce the file size in those areas. E.g. for Document Overhead, try selecting 'Discard Objects' and 'Discard User Data'. For images, select Images and adjust the Image settings. ... View more

It appears as if this issue remains in the latest build, in other words, when I add a new text field to a form, I am unable to change the colour 'none' to any other colour for Border and Fill Colours. There's one possible work-around I can think of (I've not tested it, so not sure if it will work): Do you have a form created that DOES have text fields with border settings as needed? Open that form in Acrobat. Does the field still have the border around it? Click Prepare Form) and select the text field with the border, and copy and paste it into the document you are working on. Preview the text field in the new document. Does it retain the border from the other field?  (I'm hoping it does?) If it does (got my fingers crossed), right click the field and choose Use Current Properties as New Defaults. Next create a new text field in the form... does it have the border on it now? I have no idea if this will work, but it's really all I can think of at this stage... ... View more

Does this problem appear also when both monitors are set-up in landscape, or both in portrait? (e.g. I'm wondering if it might be related to the angle of the pixels??). Have you tried calibrating the monitors? Windows has a built in Colour calibration for monitors. Right-click the desktop and choose Display Settings Select the monitor to calibrate Click Advanced display settings (bottom of the screen) Select Color calibration and follow the remainder of the prompts. To test that calibration is OK. Create a new InDesign document, choosing Mobile for Document Intent (this ensures the default colour settings are RGB) Add a graphic frame to the full size of the page. Create a new colour swatch: R= 128, B=128, B=128 Fill the graphic frame with that colour. Choose View > Proof Colours Choose View > Overprint Preview Add a ruler guide to the page as well. See if you can move the InDesign document window so it partially displays across both screens, and compare between the two. Also if you want to adjust colours, brightness, contrast manually on your monitors, check that you can adjust R, G, B individually a) Start by adjusting RGB until the grey box does NOT have a colour cast in it at all and appears as a neutral colour. b) The intensity of the grey is the same on both monitors if this is of no help, pls provide specifications of the monitors, and all set-ups you've used in Advanced Display Settings...  Maybe someone has come across the same issue with the same monitor. ...

I am assuming you used Recognize Text on the PNG once you converted it to PDF, and then Saved as Word document? PDF to Word conversion results vary based on the source files. For example you'd see a better result if the PDF was created from a Word document and then converted back to Word.  Starting with an image will give a different result. Are you able to share the PNG?

I'd try and eliminate the issue by going back to the source files: e.g. find a page you've printed that has an issue then: Printing the Illustrator map that's on that page, FROM Illustrator -- does the issue replicate? Next, go to the page in the InDesign file, and print the page from InDesign direct. -- does the issue replicate? Thirdly, export the page to PDF from InDesign, choose Press Quality for PDF settings, then open that page and print. If the issue remains, please provide use with the exact settings you are using: a) when you export the PDF from InDesign b) when printing the PDF from Acrobat DC ... View more

I'm trying to figure out why you are using a workflow that uses printing to Adobe PDF printer from Chrome.

I can replicate the issues you are seeing - but don't have a solution  (still puzzling on that). Basically I'm wondering whether during the download from Adobe Stock some form of corruption occurs...  What Operating System are you using? I'm working on Mac OSX High Sierra when testing this for you.  I'll go and test on Windows 10 to see if it behaves differently. Downloaded licensed AI file to Test-Library, then double-clicked the AI file in the Library to edit it, this should open the file in Illustrator, but crashes Illustrator Downloaded licensed file to my computer from Adobe Stock web-site, then use File > Open - this also hangs Illustrator File > Place into InDesign places a tiny file ... which is weird as you don't expect that from a template. The file doesn't behave like an Adobe Illustrator file would. It behaves as if it is an EPS file (not an AI file). When I enable 'Show Import Options' in InDesign and try to place the file I see the following dialog box: Also if I change the file-extension to EPS, and I can convert the file to a (flattened) PDF (Acrobat/Distiller) and review the Content, it appears as if the file is completely made up of images and paths (no text, e.g. all outlined): Reviewing the file further it seems that Adobe Illustrator CC( 2015.3 (Macintosh) was used to create this file, and the file is also only 2.6x1.9in in size (this is the Standard Licensed file) . ...

Have you tried running Illustrator without any third-party plug-ins/extensions installed? Does it work then? If yes, then you're likely looking at an incompatible plug-in/extension that's installed. Contact the manufacturer of that extension to confirm it has been tested, or supports with Illustrator CC (2018). It could also be you are working with some corrupted fonts? Are you able to reinstall the fonts from their original installer files? If you can't resolve the issue pls try to provide a bit more information: * Operating System, version etc. We can then direct you to where crash-log files are stored, as possibly reviewing those would help identify the issue. ...

In an InDesign/InCopy workflow, the InCopy user doesn't need to open the .indd files, but instead they could work with the .icma (Assignments) files. This might provide you with a work-around for now? You mention it worked in CS7 - there was no such release. Are you referring to InDesign/InCopy CC (2017) maybe? In other words, it's an issue that started occurring ONCE you updated from CC (2017) to CC (2018)? Does this only happen for files that were created in the earlier version of InDesign? or also for files created in the latest version of InDesign. If it only happens in files created in earlier versions of InDesign, try opening the files in InDesign and use File > Save As, and save them as IDML files, then reopen the IDML files in InDesign and save them as INDD again, and see if that possibly resolves the issue. Does the issue happen on all systems that are running InDesign or InCopy and accessing server files? Or only on certain systems? Try resetting the preferences for InDesign/InCopy on those systems, and also clear any caches. https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/setting-preferences.html For the server itself - have any updates been run or changes been made to the configuration of the server? Check the file permissions/priviledges for the files on the Server for the various users, e.g. InCopy vs InDesign users. Are permissions all set-up the same? Try rebooting the server - if you feel the issue is server related. Are you running InDesign / InCopy with administrator privileges on the troubled systems? If not, pls try testing with InDesign / InCopy installed with full admin privileges on the system. Or set-up a temporary new admin user on the systems and run from a totally new admin user account Report back with all your findings, and pls include information on: Type of Server, including server version the files are installed on. Operating system version on which InDesign / InCopy are installed. and provide step-by-step on how to replicate the issue. provide possible error log files. ... View more

One thing you can try -- instead of copy and pasting into a new document -- is to save the InDesign files that are giving you trouble as IDML files, then reopen the IDML files in InDesign and save them again as INDD files. Additionally InDesign has a feature called Print Presets (File > Print Presets > Define). For all your common printer settings I'd recommend using that.  Once you set-up a series of presets, you can select the appropriate one each time you print. ... View more

There are a lot of different techniques you can use - hopefully other people will share their techniques as well, so you get an idea of the different approaches. I tend to work with Adjustment Layers. Here's an example (not the best pic I know, but hopefully you can follow along): Open the image in Photoshop Choose Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Curves (you should see a new adjustment layer added in the Layers panel above the Background). Next in the Properties panel, add a point to the curve and move it upwards. You can add multiple points if needed. Note: you can also use the on image adjustment tool (the icon with the point finger), and click on it then drag upwards in a shadow/dark area of your image, this will automatically add a new point on the curve. Focus on the shadow areas of the image and ignore anything that happens to the light parts of the image as you are adjusting the curve in the Properties panel.  The entire image will start to lighten up as right now all the pixels will be affected. We'll fix that in the next step. Select the Curves adjustment layer and choose Blending Options from the Layers panel menu. Set the Blend Mode under General Blending to Luminosity, you'll see a bit of colour pop-back into the image where it was pulled out by the curves adjustment in step 3. Then in the Blend If section, leave Blend If set to Grey, and drag the white slider for This Layer to the left. What this will do is apply the curves adjustment only to the darker colours in the image. Click OK. You now still have the option to reduce the opacity of the Curves adjustment layer if needed, to decrease the severity of the lightening effect you've applied. ... View more
