Graphics WMF look Terrible after the re-opening of InDesign file

I hope someone can provide the answer to this one, or at least a decent work around.

Very detailed drawings are provided for me (the author of technology) in the form of graphics of Windows Meta file (*.wmf).

I have to take these designs and import them into my files InDesign V.6 (CS4) using the command set under file.

The graphics look good immediately after I import them. If I print the file in PDF (Adobe 9.0) before closing the file, they look in PDF as well.

The problem: if I close the file and then reopen it, the schematic graphics look absolutely terrible. as they have 'removed' or something. The number of labels is completely indistinguishable and rasterized. Print to PDF does not improve the aspect (but does not seem to make it worse, if that's even possible).

So, the problem lies between the time wherever I finish (after registration) of the file and the time I re - open. ID is to reduce the graphic quality of these WMF drawings on save/close the file and I can't find the solution.

Technical details:

System: PC, Windows XP Professional, Version 2002, Service Pack 2

Adobe CS4: InDesign Version 6.04

Thank you for your time and your attention. I will be happy to provide more details to get the answer to this question.

You can embed PDF files in ID files without damaging the file at all. Go ahead and try and then look at the PDF file.

There is no way to tell which content was a part of the PDF and who was content ID native.

Check your setting to view under view > display performance.

  • My docs to Word that I converted in PDF used to be beautiful - now they look terrible.  The resolution is very bad and the type is difficult to read.

    The resolution on my PDF documents looks terrible.  The fonts are hard to read and have very low resolution.  That's happened?  I downloaded the most recent Adobe Reader because someone sent me a document to sign and he said: I needed the latest version, but everything changed when I downloaded this new version.  How can we get the old version or is there some secret to have my PDFs look away, they used to using the new version?

    I do a lot of training and use PDF MUCH files and these documents really look bad now.  Can you help me?  Do I have to download a previous version? How can I do?

    Note that this answer is ONLY a WORKAROUND for a very serious problem.  The real problem is that the latest version of Adobe Reader is unusable.  So I start a new thread with the title "the latest version of Adobe Reader is unusable".

    I use a desktop Windows 7 computer, and I had the same problem.  Yesterday I updated my Adobe Reader software, and all PDFs look absolutely atrocious with the new player - in the same way that you describe.  My eyes water when I try to read them!  It's not the files - it is the new player, because they are all files that were perfect with the old version.

    I am a professional computer, so instead of panic (the new version is completely unusable!) I searched on the website of Adobe and found a way to download the installation for earlier versions files. Try this link - it could still be good:

    https://get.Adobe.com/reader/otherversions/

    Select the options that you need (operating system, version, language) and give it a go.

    You will need to uninstall your current version (use Control Panel configuration/programs and features), because the installer will not install an older version over a newer version.

    I am running Adobe Reader X version 10.1.4 and it works very well.  God help us all when we are forced to update a day due to problems of compatibility with future versions of pdf!

  • How to open an InDesign file without the extension .indd?

  • Image links missing when I open an indesign file on Mac, which was created under Windows (drive network and local copy)

    Hello

    I have the following situation:

    InDesign files are created from Windows-InDesignServer via a Plugin for automation.

    All clients work with a Mac. When they want to open a file, the plugin copy the file from the network drive to a local folder and opens the copy.

    But in this way, all the links to the images get lost.

    For example:

    Windows - link of the original file:

    \\myNetworkDrive\Data\Brands\alfa.AI

    Mac - path that is displayed in the indesign palette:

    /myNetworkDrive/data/brands/Alfa.AI

    HD:myNetworkDrive: Data: Brands:alfa.ai Macintosh

    The interesting thing is, if I open the file on the network drive, InDesign on Mac is able to find the links via the Windows paths.

    But as soon as I copy locally, links are missing.

    Y at - it features to store both Windows and Mac-paths in the link?

    Or a Url scheme that works for both platforms?

    ...

    I wrote a small javascript which reconstructed the missing links, but this is only a workaround for me.

    Thanks in advance!

    Create a symbolic link in the root directory did the trick:

    CD /.

    mkdir myNetworkDrive

    ln-s/Volumes/Data/myNetworkDrive

    In this way, the NetworkDrive is accessible as if it were on Windows:

    CD/myNetworkDrive/Data /...

    The only drawback is that it must be configured on each new customer. But that shouldn't be the problem.

  • Windows Vista is not look right after the virus scan (looks like old fashioned)

    I ran a test and test of computer optimization after what my Windows Vista is very old looking shaped with square blocks and the screen seems also very dark. Can I make the screen brighter, but need to do this each time I start up. But my main thing is to get Windows Vista normal looking again. I tried updates, but not worked.

    Can someone give me some advice please?

    Hello

    I'm curious to know what it was: 'computer optimisation test '.

    Normally, you lose your Vista theme after the graphics drivers are not updated.

    That's why I was wondering what you were doing.

    Try this:

    Go to the website of your computer manufacturer > drivers download Section > then key in your computer model number > find your operating system > find two graphics / video or from the Chipset drivers and download and install.

    It would also be a good idea to run the System File Checker tool to see if you have corrupted files

    "How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the files on system missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7"

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

    Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally made programs, Accessories, right-click guest, and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.
    2. Type the following command and press ENTER:
      sfc/scannow

      The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

  • InDesign CC 2015 hangs when one) place another InDesign file or b) opening a document that already contains the link to another InDesign file.

    Recently upgraded to CC 2015 CS6, have the latest versions of OS X and CC.

    When opening documents CS6 with links to other documents, .indd, after a short time (while updating the links I think) InDesign crashes.

    Have you tried

    (b) copying items in a new document

  • How to maintain spreads after the moving pages from one file to the other?

    I'm bringing together several chapters of books into one Indesign file, by clicking on the thumbnails in the Pages panel and selecting 'move Pages... "in the context menu.

    The problem I have is that I can't keep the flow of the page between the chapters on the destination file, resulting in a spread broken between chapters when exporting to PDF format. Here is a screenshot to illustrate the problem, seen here between 18 and 19 pages:

    Screenshot 2014-02-13 13.49.50.png

    I tried to turn on and turn off the following options on the source and destination documents but nothing changes:

    -To spread selected to Shuffle

    -Allow to the Pages of the Document for Shuffle

    I also deleted all sections of the destination document (as you can see on the screenshot, page 19 doesn't have the little black arrow that indicates a new section), with no chance either.

    I also tried dragging the thumbnails manually but nothing helped. I just can't understand how to keep the spreads between chapters together page.

    Can someone help me with this?

    Thanks in advance

    In your turned scewwn, pages 14-18 are configured to not mix (you can tell by the [] aroound the numbers). Set the Shuffle and all should be well.
