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.

  • Import of PDF files

    I know how to import a PDF file so that it transforms the PDF in a topic, but I want to import the real pdf. For example, if you use the Robohelp help system (.air format) and click on a pdf link, it opens the PDF within the air framework and allows that you read here. That's what I want to do, but I can't understand how to include pdf in my project files, such as when I use 8 HR to create an AIR application, pdf files will be included and assembled as part of the subjects. Thanks for your help.

    Hello

    In your Pod of the region or project manager, you should see what we call 'baggage files. " Sometimes you change the view to display the baggage files. Or if you just click you will see New > file of baggage. The goal is to get the PDF file included in a file of baggage. Then, you can link to it so that it opens in PDF format.

    I am uncertain if or how while the action may work in the AIR output however. Seems I saw a recent forum post where someone has problems, a PDF of the AIR opening.

    See you soon... Rick

  • Import a PDF file to PDF

    OK, call me crazy, but with the integration of Macromedia and Adobe, I find it funny that I can't find a way to import a PDF file into a PDF document in a RoboHelp project.

    There is an "Import PDF" option, but instead of doing what I would like to what to do, simply copy the PDF file to the project directory and I have links to it, it creates rather a subject HTML and tries, is the best to store the formatting. Unfortunately, the formatting of the document it creates is an extraction far from the original PDF file.

    I'd rather keep the PDF I have and rig a way so it copies on each translation.

    ... any ideas?

    I can no longer open and read a pdf file, yet all the configurations appear to be correct, I uninstalled and reinstalled and still the problem remains. Can someone please help?

  • How you import a PDF file in Microsoft Office 2007 with Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional

    I recently downloaded the trial version of Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional and want to import a PDF file in Word and be able to make changes to the document.  I know that this can be down with earlier versions of Adobe Acrobat Professional.  An advisor to do with version 9?

    It just stated that you use Save as to export it in a DOC file. You would then open the DOC file in WORD. You can make minor changes to the PDF directly in Acrobat, but WORD have no capabilities - a totally different PDF editing document structure. As far as Acrobat goes, the process is save it as process. If you ask about WORD, you need to ask in a forum of MS WORD, but the answer is probably that it's impossible. WORD does not translate a PDF to WORD document, although it might allow it as an image.

    You are able to print any other format PDF on the Mac, or the question is just limited to your scanned PDF files? Whether the soft friendly PDF work with - Adobe Reader or Foxit Reader?

    In the meantime, I recommend you try the following steps:

    • Uninstall your printer - click here for instructions.
    • Fix permissions of the disc on your Mac - click here for instructions.
    • Once you have finished running the utility above, restart your computer.
    • Finally, click here to reinstall your printer.

  • I have an annual subscription to Adobe export in PDF, but my computer died and I am setting up a new computer. I also need to download Adobe Reader or Acrobat to download and open the PDF files?

    Hi Lisa,

    To download PDF files, you have nothing else except a web browser.
    However, to open the pdf file that is downloaded, you certainly need to download Acrobat Reader: Adobe - Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Distribution

    Kind regards

  • Acrobat Reader DC works fine and opens a PDF file without problem - until I have a word document open as well-, then the PDF file crashes. I can't open a PDF file, a word document is also open.

    Acrobat Reader DC works fine and opens a PDF file without problem - until I have a word document open as well-, then the PDF file crashes. I can't open a PDF file, a word document is also open.

    For troubleshooting, you can disable the Protected Mode (https://helpx.adobe.com/reader/using/protected-mode-windows.html#id_94783) and see if that solves the problem. If the problem persists, please re-enable the Protected Mode to improve safety.

    Let us know how it goes.

    How can I hide the page thumbnails navigation bar initially to the top of Adobe Reader and open a pdf file? I couldn't find this option on the Preferences tab? Thank you

    Under Edit - Prefs. - Documents check the box that says "Restore last display settings when reopening documents." Hide the Pages panel manually, and the next time that you open the file it should have disappeared.

  • Creates an Index and now the TOC disappeared on the HR server

    I posted about this before and have not really got an answer that solves our problems. This morning my co-worker has created a system of help using FlashHelp Pro, he has published on the RoboHelp Server... it seems fine. Still, she had not created an index so she went back into RoboHelp and created the index. When it posted its files on the server of HR, the table of contents are now gone. The content pane is there, just no content that the scroll bar is as it is going to take, but disappears. We tried republication, empty the temporary Internet files, screaming at the computer... nothing.

    After much research, we noticed that RoboHelp Server adds a bunch of entries after your .htm file in the address bar. This effectively changes the functions of the HR server on and outside reports. Here is an example: http://server/robo/projects_fhpro/projectname/file.htm# > > prj = Example project > > cap = project example > > pbs = toc | ndx | NLS | GLS > > APB = toc > > pot = > > pan = 0

    When you delete these additions to the address of the table of contents appears again in his project.

    Therefore, he said that RoboHelp is playing with something in the things he puts into the address.

    No idea what's going on? What happened three people enough to chance now, and I get annoyed by it.

    If you have the answer you are looking for, you're officially my hero!

    My question has been answered! RoboHelp Server don't like spaces in the names of your project, so if you have spaces, then replace with underscores or take out all together. In fact, I went in the project folder on my drive local and had to rename my project file with underscore to make it work. After republish it on the server... BOOM... the Table of contents is back. I missed it greatly, but we meet once more

  • How to import a PDF file with objects of the typewriter?

    I have a .pdf file saved with text created by the typewriter tool. When I import the .pdf in InDesign (I use CS4), typewriter text disappears in the InDesign document. I can't find any preferences or settings in Acrobat or InDesign which solves this problem. Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Yes, it absolutely to degrade the quality of the placed PDF!

    Re-create the PDF file by distilling the PDF PostScript flattens transparency all and converts the colors (that's another flattening as the flattening of the annotations and form fields). It's a lossy operation that gives results of lower quality including seams of transparency, color issues problems and potential problems of fonts.

    There is another way, a bit simpler flatten annotations and form fields in Acrobat Pro using the preflight check mechanism. Use the profile of correction flatten annotations and form fields upstream! This works without any Javascript or other changes in the PDF file.

  • Color variation when you import a PDF file with transparency masks

    Hi, I have a CC PDF Illustrator with multiple pages and multiple spot colors defined by the user and on some pages of an element containing the mask transparency.

    The problem with color deviation between the pages with and without the object that contains the tx masks as they are imported into InDesign.

    Looking at the page in InDesign with the described object, color chart, imported from Illustrator no longer correspond to any PDF file.

    Without the mask tx, correspond to the Illustrator PDF color chart color placed in the shade in InDesign.

    What is going on?

    Unlike Illustrator, InDesign can support RGB and CMYK colors in the same document. If InDesign won't change the colors of your Illustrator object placed as long as there is no transparency on the spread.

    When transparency is applied to the spread, all objects have to 'mix' by using the same color space. I think that this is necessary if the transparency must be flattened as it should be for many printers. InDesign uses the color set under Edition space > space of merger of transparency to determine the color space. By default, it is a print CMYK document.
