Best line drawing import in InDesign file format

I was wondering what is the file format accepted and recommended for the files to import into InDesign. I was under the impression that the files I should be saved in EPS, but I just read an article that said that Adobe Dov Isaacs said that the eps will soon be obsolete. What I would do. I work on the curriculum that contains photos and line art and we use for the old tiff and eps for the latter. Most of our line is done in artificial intelligence. Howeverwe have a cartoonist who sends us files in jpg format. What would be the best format to file for him and for us as we draw in artificial intelligence?

The future of the EPS file format

EPS quickly became an obsolete file format which is replaced by PDF as PostScript itself is also removed gradually and by PDF. Don't take just my word on that. Dov Isaacs of Adobe said in a discussion on a forum of PrintPlanet on the future of PostScript: ' ... '. Adobe will continue to support the EPS graphic format inherited for import of managed, opaque colors graphic data in applications (such as InDesign and Illustrator) Adobe.  Although some of us recommend that new graphic content be stored in format EPS (except to satisfy the need to import data in the programs layout that are not quite focused on PDF - no need to name names here!), our user base should feel comfortable that there is no need to worry about a need to convert their very important EPS graphic asset libraries. »

OK, you used my name...

First of all, I have never said "that EPS will soon be obsolete." I did not use those words explicitly or even implicitly. The legacy implies that this is really not the current workflow favorite, plain and simple.

Regarding the cartoons, the format used to send the cartoon really depends on how the cartoons are drawn. If the cartoon is physically drawn on paper the pen and hand coloring, then it's probably logical to scan these drawings and save as TIFF, JPEG files scans not! JPEG is frozen and especially poor for what looks like actually to the linework. If the cartoons are drawn in a program such as Adobe Illustrator vector, then the best format to send to you is clear, either PDF or at worst, native Adobe Illustrator (.) Files HAVE).

  • Preserve spot colors when you import the InDesign file into another InDesign file

    Work in InDesign CC.

    I often import InDesign files into other InDesign files and find it very useful for my workflow. Often it is a file that acts like a piece of the library that is used in the other files and I love being able to just change it and automatically update the other files.

    However I just came up with a work that is CMYK + spot and spot colors are not preserved import - they seem to import as CMYK. Can I export a PDF file and do it this way, but I prefer to skip the intermediate step.

    Any advice?

    Have you checked? It really looks like that process tasks is enabled in the file of reception, but I expect that to affect the PDF as well.

    I tested on CS6 and it works correctly, but I have on thei smachine CC, and no time this morning to start it, then maybe someone else will test for you to see if they get the same results.

  • Cannot open footage or import clips - unsupported file format

    We have an iMac workstation running here first that won't open projects or import clips.  Here is the chronology of events that led to this:

    1. first was locked up on the splash screen whenever he arrived at the "ImporterQuicktime.bundle".  I tried trashing preferences and launch with plug-ins disabled and received the same gel.  Based on the recommendations of the forum that I removed "ImporterQuicktime.bundle" and "ExporterQuickTimeHost.bundle" in the plug-ins folder inside the packaging.  The software launched fine - but none of the Quicktime files in the project worked.  So then I took copies of the 2 files above the iMac next to it, with exactly the same setup and paste into the plugins folder.  Since that time - launch of the software generated errors below.

    2 try to open any project gives long error that starts out as: the preset used by one or more sequences in this project requires third-party components that could not be located.

    3 start a new project and try to drag any Quicktime ProRes media in the project give the error: unsupported file Format.

    I've trashed the preferences, re-installed the Codecs from Quicktime Pro Apps, authorized the computer and re-authorized and updated Adobe Premiere 7.0 to 7.2.  Which no correction of the problem.

    I think to try a full reinstall of first then.  Any other ideas?

    Here are the details:

    First Pro 7.2 CC

    Mac OS 10.8.5

    iMac model end 2012, 32 GB of RAM, 2 GB video card

    Thank you.

    Don Hertz

    I think I found a work around.  It seems that the 7.2 upgrade is making it so that our XDCAM 422 Quicktime clips are not recognized correctly.  Cut the two currently in a project and a new clip imports do not work.  Attempt to import clips using this codec generates error message: not supported format or corrupted file.  This has happened on both a system iMac running OS 10.8.5 and a Macbook Pro running OS - which have been upgraded to first 7.2 10.9.1.  In both cases - uninstall and reinstallation of first solved the problem.

  • What is the best way to import only raw files in Lightroom?

    I have hundreds of files who believed and jpeg files.  The simplistic 'treat raw and JPEG as separate files"cannot remove all jpeg files that some have slightly different names than the raw (several versions of each raw file jpeg) files.  The only way I can find easily select only the raw files in a folder is to move all the non - raw files to a different directory so that Lightroom cannot see them, do the import, and then return the files to the original directory.  Needless to say it's far too much work to consider moving to Lightroom so I have to do for each of hundreds of files.  Is there an easy way to filter by file name pattern and expansion?  I read on some plug-ins that sound as if they must have worked, but so far none seem to do the trick.

    Yes, and that's what I thought. Just one question to be sure.

    You can do all this with LR and you can also copy the images from the card or the camera in your specific directory/folder or any folder you like and or create a folder at the time of the breeding and importation. All your steps are wrapped in a single process, no bouncing around a program to another.

    There is a good article on the net about how to change an import LR preset with a Notepad text editor, for the most part all you want to do.

    I had been using the app bridge Photo Downloader for the year to get images of maps to the folder of my choice, the year and place the images in subfolders by date shot with the format 02 09 (day) (month) (0209). This chain of folder is not available in LR. He wants to do something like 2016-02-09 or something like that. But I edited a "Preset" I created to make the exact record of naming (0209) and put my pictures in the folder of higher level of the year. So now if I shoot images spanning 2-3-4 days then copy and import with LR, LR creates 2-3-4 record names and place these files in the top-level of the year folder.

  • Import large XML file to Table

    I have a large (819 MB) XML file I'm trying to import into a table format:
    < ROW_SET >

    < ROW >

    I tried to import with xmlsequence (...). Extract (...) and ran into the number of nodes exceeds maximum error.

    I tried to import with XMLTable (... from XMLTYPE (bfilename('DIR_OBJ','large_819mb_file.xml'), nls_charset_id('UTF8'))) and I gave up after he had run for 15 + hours (COLLECTION ITERATOR PICKLER FETCH number).

    How it differs from your approach.

    With the help of the HOLDS_XML table with storage XML BINARY SECUREFILE (which become the default in 11.2.0.2), we provide a place for Oracle store a parsed version of the XML data. This allows the XML code to be stored on the disk instead of memory. Oracle can then access the necessary XML fragments of the disc in the instead holding the entire XML in memory and the analysis several times to find the necessary information. That's what COLLECTION ITERATOR PICKLER FETCH means. A lot of memory. You can search on this term to learn more about this if necessary.

    The approach XMTable then simply reads this XML to disk file and should be able to parse the XML without problem. You have the option to add XML indexes, but since you read just a while and throw it away, there is no advantage to (most likely) index

  • problems to capture the audio layer when you import the m2ts files

    Hi all, I'm new on the side of the entire video editing and so would be grateful for the help.

    I just bought a camcorder Canon HF200 HD, and a Sony Vaio notebook that came with Premiere Elements 7.0 preinstalled.

    Last month I've been shooting sequences and down just to try to change everything and set up a DVD.

    The problem I have right now (and I've just started using the program, so everything is new for me) is that while I seem to be able to import the m2ts file format in which my camera records, only the video is imported by first - no audio (it reads the file ok, no errors appear, but when I go to review images there is video but no sound).

    I can play all my videos in Windows Media Player very well, both video and audio.  So it seems that my machine is able to read the files correctly in this program.  However, it seems that the audio drop out when I import the file in first.  The program was pre-installed on my computer and when I have a look at the audio settings, it doesn't seem to be a possibility to change the settings to something different.

    So far, I've spent a long time googling and trying to find a solution, but without any joy immediately.

    Enjoy the anyone can offer any assistance.  Is it just a simple setting I need to change?  Or I have to somehow convert the files in a different format before Elements 7.0 can read?

    Thank you.

    Jeff

    the machine I have appear to be consistent with the specifications required by PE7 (and given that it came with pre-installed PE7 which should be the case).

    There are two things to consider:

    1.) edition of most of the images, especially material to SD

    2.) editing AVCHD, currently the most demanding of all popular video formats to edit. That's what you have.

    Now when you launch the pre, you get a splash screen. There you can open new create a new project, open an existing project that has been recently opened, or open a project by browsing to it. We can also leave.

    In your case, you go again and when the dialog box opens, choose the preset for AVCHD w / DD 5.1 SS Audio.

    Also note, that in the Edit Mode, there are two Modes of display (access via two icons to the left of the lower panel), view timeline and sceneline view. For DD 5.1 SS Audio Clips, you will find Timeline View Mode to be the best. Now, you can switch back, but the timeline view Mode will give you infinite control. It is estimated that change the most programs use, and most publishers use.

    Good luck

  • CS6 - create an index and import a pdf file

    How to create an index for a book, and import a PDF in InDesign CS6. The CS6 InDesign is only allow imports of XML documents not PDFs. Is there a work around for this? And I'm not... to create an index - find the tab from the drop down "subjects."

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    As mentioned earlier, you asked 2 different questions. I hope that this answer allows you to satisfy you with both of them.

    Creating an index:

    The sample file is an extraordinary, but the creation of an index is well explained. InDesign cs6 indexing - tutorial on how to create an Index for your book! - YouTube

    Import a PDF file:

    As I said before, you import PDF images files. You can use the same path than with images: drag and drop, D, file-> Place

    Please pay attention to the 'options import' as you can choose between different "cultures": Bounding Box, Art, Trim, bleed, media.

    For a multiple page PDF, you can choose the page or page range. Etc.

    Nicolas said the "PlaceMultipagePdf" script that you will find in the window-> Utilities-> scripts Panel. Get off at samples-> JavaScript

    This script updates the Pdf pages on a new page. Try, if you are tempted to import a multi-page PDF document.

    As I said before, you can also import other InDesign files. These editable resident files, i.e. you can open and change what must be changed and the imported file will be updated like any other document bound, as Illustrator documents for example...

    Since these files are regarded as "graphics" (equivalent to Illustrator data files), they can't be changed inside InDesign.

  • best import/update of the puppets. file format of puppets?

    I wish that the import and export of puppets didn't remove the rigging.

    It takes a lot of time to rig a puppet exactly as you want, and then if you update the photoshop file it can be lost and try to remember all the parameters that you set.

    I found it best to try not to include any information of rigging in the photoshop/illustrator file and do it all in CA.

    But I always feel to add many things to puppets as I create them and they keep breaking when I reimport them because of the new folder hierarchy.

    I noticed adding the + sign creates just one file in CA, so I just create a folder in photoshop instead of use the + to make it more compatible for updating my puppet.

    It would be nice to save a puppet as its own file format, with all the rigging intact. Then you could just import puppets (with rigging) into your projects and scenes. Or is there a way to do currently?

  • What file format is the best provide a general customer

    I shoot most of Nikon RAW files and perform a typical treatment post and finally send to Zenfolio (via Lightroom) for my client to download.

    I want to give them the highest resolution file on a disk so that they can store in it archives for future needs. What is the best format. Convert RAW to TIFF, PSD or DNG. Most of my clients have Photoshop, Lightroom, or other professional editing software. I want that they have the top of the ground in the future when I retired (haha) they can do, or have a service, any enlargement of the size, make the additional manulipition and so on.

    Thanks for the help.

    TIFF is the best file format to deliver to your customers to print and especially if you don't know what software they use and that you will not change.

    TIFF is very common and Mac/PC friendly.  If your needs are archival, print quality high resolution, and be able to open on almost all software, that's what you want.

    If transparency is important, you have support in his favor as well.

    First save a copy without layers, they won't need them. They would expect the Alpha channels, if you include those.

    If your file > save under looks like this:

    Hello

    I use a Mac OS 10.9.5 version and CC Adobe InDesign 10.1.0.71

    I have an InDesign file that I used it to generate a fixed format EPUB. Generally, it was working fine and I was just fixing some strange pieces of type (followed and horizontal scaling seemed to be throwing) and optimize the images to get the best size of file.

    However, with the last update of Indesign, does not seem the same file to generate the Epub files that are the least bit similar to my InDesign files! The text flows everywhere and this is another font, characters run into each other, text boxes are ignored etc.

    I took an old file on my archives, just to make sure that this is nothing that I did. However this file too generates properly - it must be that something caused by the update InDesign last right?

    The document is in small chapters but in its entirety, it's 300 pages, so I really need your help to find out why it works now - I can't just quickly re-make. I have a few pictures, we show the crazy formatting (which is supposed to be of fixed format) the other shows how it looks in InDesign.

    If anyone can help that would be really appreciated!

    I couldn't come up with something that might help. If I find a way I will let you know. Maybe others here may give it a shot.

    Edit: I finally could get just with a few changes. Get rid of the character applied to Text Styles (use None). Use the paragraph Styles rather changing universal Adobe paragraph composer Adobe paragraph composer. I think that the application of character to the whole text styles was the main problem. Also when you export the general/Options choose Convert across the landscape Page. Make a copy of your file and make your changes and see if it improves. This is what it looks like on iBooks.

  • What File Format works best in first?

    I'm new to first and am try it to see if this is the best tool to edit my old VOB files copied down a DVD of a couple of years. I tried to convert them into MPEG4 but deteriorates the quality of playback. I can load the VOB files directly, but there is a problem of defined quality deterioration.

    Should I first convert the file to something else? Say AVI?

    Thank you very much

    As has been mentioned, the MPEG-2 DVD, wrapped in the VOB files ' containers, have already been highly compressed. " It is the nature of a DVD-video. Nothing can be done to cancel this compression and return all quality.

    Pre allow you to import the VOB,* files and edit them natively. However, if you then / share export in a compressed format, say on a DVD-Video edition, then there will be additional compression and a loss of data.

    Good luck

    Hunt

    * Pre will import and edit the VOB, 100% compatible DVD. However, if they are NOT 100% compatible DVD, then the only recourse is to rip/convert DVD MPEG-2 files in the VOB import and edit. In this case, I recommend you files DV - AVI Type II w / 16-bit 48 kHz PCM/WAV Audio, using the DV/DVC CODEC of Ms.

    Unfortunately, most DVR machines and a lot of DVD-Video authoring software, do NOT produce 100% of DVD compatible files and usually the first VOB (contains the Menus and navigation, as well as the first part of the file DVD MPEG-2, which may extend over several VOB) will NOT import correctly, while the second, which is more usually works perfectly. It could be that you'll only have to rip/convert the VOB first, but some software was simply a bad creative work, so he'd have to rip/convert VOB all.

  • Edit the InDesign file in Corel Draw?

    I guess that it is not a way to do this, but I'm not very familiar with Corel Draw at all. I have a client who I've implemented several marketing documents in InDesign CS4. They were contacted by one of their foreign distributors who are eager to translate text in documents using Corel Draw. Is it possible to change the text to an InDesign doc in Corel Draw (unfortunately, I not sure what version of Corel Draw, they use).

    It is desperately optimistic - is the only way to change an InDesign InDesign file. InDesign cannot export any useful format that can be read by CorelDraw (of, not in a way that allows playback in ID).

    By the way... CorelDraw to translate documents with? What do you mean-a dedicated business?

    You can export the text in InDesign in various ways; RTF format (editable with Word), or as a referenced text (editable with any serious text editing program - CorelDraw isn't one of them), or, for the translation of serious heavy, such as XML or IDML (based on the requirement of CorelDraw, this might seem like rocket science to these Bozo).

    Only if they are willing to give up the status of CorelDraw, you might be able to help.
