Re: why is the small text blurry on photoshop?

Willi Adelberger · ‎Jul 16, 2013

The typo is only not pixelated if saved as pdf. BUT there must not be any flattening! If any flattening occurs during pdf export it will loose any vector information! The other problem is: In Photoshop and raster images it is best to work in rgb. In drawing, text and vector best in cmyk for print. But Photoshop cannot mix rgb and cmyk, except with smart objects, but they are always pixelated in the output pdf. So the easiest way to create a printable pdf is to make it in InDesign, not in Photoshop. To make a printable pdf from Photoshop you need much more know how than to do it in an apropriate programme as InDesign.

Willi Adelberger · ‎Jul 16, 2013

No, don't make Typo in Photoshop. It will always come out pixelated. Create a new document in InDesign in the size of the ad. Make all typo in InDesign FPD convert to outline, and place the image in it. Place the other 2 images (take care that the images are rgb and psd) Adjsut your design, I would recommend to work with paragraph styles and define a character style fpr the red Export the pdf, if the printer needs cmyk, export as pdf/x1a. The printer should inform you on the specification he needs as on the colour profile. If no colour profile is given, use the recommendations of the European Colour Initiative at http://www.eci.org they have not only a German also an English part. Never print a pdf out from any Adobe application. Only save or export. For more question on InDesign you should consult the InDesign forum.

It depends on your settings in the program preferences: Preferences > File Handling > Create Links when placing text and spreadsheet files. If this option active changes of Word Documents will be updated (and edits in InDesign will be lost completely).

Have you ever tried it?

When CS6 and its patches were develeoped the engineers thought that after CS6 will come CS7. But it was renamed shortly before its announcement to InDesign CC. Adobe has forgotten to repair this message which is found in CS5.5 and CS6.

Willi Adelberger · ‎Jun 25, 2013

Please supply us with some important information: Version of InDesign? CC? Language Version? Version of OS How do you save? Local or on a network place?

Only once a printer asked me to send single page pdfs. It was not a Quark-Imposing or InDesign-Imposing workflow. I used Acrobat Pro. The command Tools > Pages > Extract >… with the option "extract as single pages" does exactly this. It is a one-step command for a once had requirement. I don't see any need for scripting, if someone has Acrobat Pro.

Willi Adelberger · ‎Jun 18, 2013

Every newer version can read files from an older version of InDesign. An older version is not able to read native files from the newer version, although IDML files can be opened from Id CS4 and newer. But for workflows where files should run between computers it is not recommended.

Why do you use eps at all? Use ai.

Die Kozuka-Schriften sind, wenn es die selben sind, wie hier am Mac, OTF-Schriften mit einem japanischen und einem westlichen Zeichensatz. Wenn es keine OTF-Schriften sind, werden sie wahrscheinlich nur den japanischen Zeichensatz beinhalten, der lateinische sieht mir sehr ähnlich aus wie Minion. (Ich habe es nicht genau überprüft.) Hast Du keine OTF-Schrift, dann wird dir das nur angezeigt, wenn Du entsprechende Einstellungen für asiatische Versionen hast. Prinzipiell solltest Du diese Schriftarten, die speziell für asiatische Sprachen generiert wurden, nicht mit lateinischen Texten verwenden, die lateinischen Buchstaben sind nur implementiert für Einschübe im Text, bei denen lateinische Schriften benötigt werden, wie URL, Namen, Formeln und dergleichen, nicht für Mengentextsatz. Dazu sollte man explizit westliche Schriften anwenden, bei Open Type sind das die, die oft im Namen Std oder Pro haben, World würde für alle gelten. Da Du anscheinend nicht japanisch schreibst, ist das Problem hausgemacht. Nur westliche Schriften bieten die Möglichkeiten, die für sauberen Mengensatz benötigt werden und automatische Varianten für die jeweils gewählte westliche Sprache. Im Deutschen ist das zum Beispiel die automatische Ersetzung von ß in SS bei Blockschrift, bzw. bei verschiedenen Ligaturen nur die im Deutschen zulässigen Varianten. Die Kozuka wird in InDesign nicht zwischen den westlichen Schriften angezeigt, sondern, im Anschluss an die Symbolschriften im asiatischen Schriftbereich. Beim Suchfeld im Schriftennamen (ab InDesign 9.0) kann man sie auch gezielt suchen.

Alle Schriften, die auf dem System installiert sind, sind für alle Programme, also auch InDesign, verfügbar. Schriften, die im Font-Ordner von InDesign installiert sind, sind nur für InDesign verfügbar. Schriften, die im Application Support (auf dem Mac, auf WIn gibt es was ähnliches) installiert sind, sind nur für die Programme des jeweiligen Softwareanbieters in dessen Unterordner sie sich befinden installiert. Schriften, die im Schriftenordner eines Anwenders installiert sind, sind nur für den Anwender installiert. Schriften, die im Ordner "Document fonts" liegen, die müssen nicht installier sein, sind nur für indd verfügbar, die am selben Platz, wo dieser Ordner ist, verfügabr. Nun weiß ich nicht, wo Deine Wunschschrift installiert ist und ob diese technisch ok ist, aber nun kannst Du schauen, ob sie richtig installiert ist.

You should NEVER take any formatting from imported Word documents nor expect that it works as you expect. Set up all formatting in InDesign: All styles but also the layout for footnotes. There exists no reliable linking from Word styles to InDesign styles. Ignore Word formatting at all (but you can use the same style names which have to be redefined in InDesign) The layout definition for foot notes is in the type menu of InDesign, not in the import options.

Willi Adelberger · ‎Mar 27, 2013

It is called Object, because everything below a Layer Entry is either an Object or a Guide or a Group of Objects and Groups, nothng more is possible to be on a layer. If you need to make objects (not only text passages) conditional you need to anchor them into a text frame into a paragrap (or between any text) which has to be conditional. If an anchor is inside conditional text, the anchor is also and so the object fom the anchor too.

Willi Adelberger · ‎Mar 26, 2013

Sublayers don't exist in InDesign. But each item is shown similiar below the opened layer name in the layer panel. Do you know the function "Conditional Text"? It is in the submenu in Wndows > Type and Tables It is supposed to do what you want to do.

Willi Adelberger · ‎Mar 26, 2013

What you can do, is to place a PSD or PDF several times on the same place but when importing (or later in Object Layer Settings) to select only one layer for each placement. So each layer is placed as a seperate image. I thnk it should be possible to script this. A layerd file from psd cannot be coloured in InDesign as it is possible with 1-bit or greyscale images without layers.

Willi Adelberger · ‎Mar 11, 2013

You can also place the whole indd file in another file. No need to produce a pdf before. No need to exchange an intermediate pdf if changes come up. You can export the final pdf. No need to use print or postscript.

Vamitul wrote: Willi, in theory i agree with you, however: You don't always have the luxury of doing all the layouting in Indesign. My case a few weeks back: 1250 word documents form various clients, 4 pages each, mostly the same structure, to be converted to leaflets. Deadline: 2 days. About the span columns: At least in CS 5 is very buggy. The "keep" options do not work, if you have footnotes you are in for a lot of pain, and they 'eat up' a ton of computing resources. In most cases i fell that "the old way" of doing this is better. Sorry, I disagree: Formatting has to be done completely in InDesign. If you need to to 1250 docx than it is urgent that you set up properly 1 indt! Even if they have mostly the same structure. Then it is simple to convert it into indd. (I have done it several 1000 times in different languages German/English/Spanish/Italien, and here is Word painful.) The span feature has been improved in CS6, also the problem with the footnotes has been resolved. Everyone who works with InDesign should know that he cannot honor word formatting in any way because this will cause problems.

Willi Adelberger · ‎Mar 04, 2013

You should not expect to reuse Word formats and/or layout in InDesign in any way. Word is good for text input but not for layouting. Do all layout and format things in InDesign without any relation to your original Word document. You have to set up a new INDD and make different decissions: Set up an empty indd Set up at least one master Define an object style for two columns Define paragraph styles On the master make textframes with text variables which will be used fr your headers/footers Then I import the documents into a Indesign template that has 1) defined "Running Header" variables using Paragraph Styles (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/indesign/cs/using/WSa285fff53dea4f86173837 51001ea8cb3f-7111a.html#WSCF210E77-5E6E-4a70-90BB-AA5D1A1F183Ba) 2) A two column layout, with the frames threaded, as needed. I run a script that converts the <hAnchor> and <fAnchor> to a anchored frame positioned way outside of the page and applies the correct paragraph styles taht where defined in the text variables. It also looks for <colBreak/> and replaces it with a column break. Sorry, I would not recommend to word with several text threads to make a multi column layout. That was done up to InDesign CS4, but since CS5 you should use only a single text frame with multiple columns, otherwise you could not use the the span column feature which gives you the oportunity to span text ovr serveral columns.

Willi Adelberger · ‎Feb 26, 2013

Do you use styles of the fonts which are not included in the installed fonts? Like Bold or Italic from Arial Black?

Willi Adelberger · ‎Feb 21, 2013

No, when a document is opened you will find the lock file on the same place. Why do you want to get rid of it? Others in the network or on your computer will see so that a specific file is open.

Willi Adelberger · ‎Feb 14, 2013

What kind of image did you import? How have you done it? It might help to export the file as IDML and open this file and save it again as INDD. Ok, you have the problem to open the file. On the Swiss Forum HDS I have found a script: http://www.hilfdirselbst.ch/foren/gforum.cgi?do=post_editlog;post=475991; // blindOpen_and_IDML-Export.jsx var _file = File.openDialog("InDesign-Datei"); // Selection of a file if(_file != null) { var d = app.open(_file, false); // Open the file without showing it d.exportFile(ExportFormat.INDESIGN_MARKUP, File(_file.fullName.replace(/.indd$/i,'.idml'))); // Export im IDML-Format d.close(SaveOptions.NO); // Close without saving } Save the text of this file and add the extension .js and put it in your script folder and run the script in Window > Utilites > Scripts > … THis script helped me several times with a similar problem.

Willi Adelberger · ‎Jun 22, 2012

Can you answer with no, then do it.

Willi Adelberger · ‎Jun 22, 2012

1. Deactivate it on the old computer (Help > Deactivate…) 2. Install it from the original installer with all updates again. You will need the Serial Number, either during installation process or when the progamm launches the first time. If you have no possibility to deactivate it again you should call Adobe Technical Support. They will help you.

Willi Adelberger · ‎Jun 22, 2012

Run the Creative Suite Clean Up Tool.

Willi Adelberger · ‎Jun 22, 2012

In the most cases there is no need to uinstall. Reinstall over the damaged version should repair everything. Don't forget to run all updates and bugfixes after installing again.

Willi Adelberger · ‎Jun 22, 2012

Can you inform us on your question?

Willi Adelberger · ‎Jun 22, 2012

Which macBook Pro do you own? Is it able to run 10.7? Is the CD drive ok? Download the the trial version and install this version, if the CD/DVD is damaged it should work as good as the CS/DVD installer with the same serial.

Willi Adelberger · ‎Jun 22, 2012

For viewing and printing you need only the free Adobe Reader. http://get.adobe.com/reader/ If you haave a valid serial you should be able to install the Acrobat Pro. If you have registered your version you might be able to get the serial, if lost, from your Adobe login. But Version 8 is quite old there might be some compatibility issues. If you want to buy it, you will be able only to buy the latest version which is at the moment Acrobat Pro X, when you go to Adobe (click on the red icon in the top left corner) you see a link to Acrobat somewhere on the page. There you can follow up to buy that product.
