Image editing in InDesign (copy and paste from Illustrator)

Hello

I have a scenario and I hope someone can clarify:

I'm working on a Mac using Adobe Illustrator & Indesign CS4. Whenever I have copy and paste or drag an image in illustrator into Indesign, this particular chart is not editable in InDesign, and it's ok.  I want it like this to the clerk/typists to use in their InDesign files.

However, on a PC with Vista, when the chart is copied and pasted/dragged from illustrator into indesign, this graph becomes editable using the direct Selection tool in InDesign.  I want to know is if there is a way to disable this option on the PC version as on mac?

Thanks in advance

Dee

Hello

Perhaps the difference lies with the way Illustrator fits images.

Here, with my trusty CS3 in 'preferences files and Clipboard' (translated from the french), I have the choice of exporting the Clipboard in the format PDF and AICB format.

If I understand your message, I guess Mac export as a PDF and Vista exports AICB format.

An audit of preferences would help with this,

Good luck.

    If you have already converted to outlines, there are no police who could be replaced or fail to be integrated in the placed art, so a user error cannot cause a problem that would not also be possible with a pasted graphic.

    But if you stick to keep your job, keep your job. Try to make a copy of the file, then export to .inx and open and save as a new .indd. See if that fixes Watt is screing things up.

  • Copy and paste from Illustrator - actual size? (not to scale)

    Hello, I have a question about something that I met several times and can't seem to find an answer to. when I copy something of Illustrator and place it in Photoshop (like a SmartObject), I want to set the actual size, rather than adjust to the size of the PS file. For example, say I have a PS 100x50px file. In Illustrator, I create this file PS elements. I have a component in artificial intelligence that is 100 x 50 with text down. If I copy and paste that in PS, it will not match exactly because the text gives a little extra space above and below and it actually copies as say 100x50.74px and is therefore biased (or scale truly wrong, proportionately) when pasted in the PS file. Of course I can resize manually, but it is inefficient and unreliable. It seems that there should be a preference somewhere where you can choose to paste to adapt or stick to actual size, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. Can someone help or is it still possible? (seems like it should be) Does make sense? Thanks in advance!

    An excellent question. I remember the time to make a document larger than my Clipboard until I found this wonderful setting.

    Go to preferences > General > uncheck Resize Images in Place.

  • Copy and paste from illustrator to photoshop

    Hello.

    You used to be able to slect tricks in photoshop and copy illustrator, create new from the Clipboard and create a document at a resolution that never, over the largest wreck was the image.

    Now when you do this the image are set to 72 dpi by default, and nothing do you solves this problem for copy/paste is ultra low resolution.

    Is there any solution for this?

    I found a solution.  In each version before the CC versions, you can copy an Illustration of Illustrator (Ctrl + C) for Photoshop (Ctrl + N, Ctrl-V, input) with a nearly lossless image quality.  Since CC came, it no longer works.  The quality of the image in Photoshop is really unacceptable.

    Today, I figured out how to get things to normal.  There are just a few simple steps.

    In Photoshop CC (and this step may or may not be necessary for you) Edit > Preferences > units & rulers, change new Document Preset resolutions, screen resolution of 300 Pixels/inch.  This makes the new default value of documents at 300 dpi.

    Then (and I think that the most important) when you create your new file to paste your Illustrator file in, (for example, Ctrl + N), change the Type of Document in the drop-down list of the Clipboard to the default size of Photoshop.  In my case, who reads the 7 x 5 inches and 300 dpi.  You need to establish your new size of smaller or larger image for all to adapt, but, you will get a really strong and clear image quality when you paste your Illustrator file into the new document.

    Hope that helps.

  • As Illustrator vector pen tool or allows copy and paste from Adobe Illustrator.

    In Muse design tools are very, very limited (can't even do the triangles).

    Adding that a pen tool would allow the curved lines and be vector would speed up load time vs png or JPEG.

    Please, please, please add a vector as Illustrator pen tool or allows copy and paste from Adobe Illustrator (vector lines keeping intact).

    Yes... I know it's possible, but what I would like is the ability to simply copy and paste a curvy line (as say a wave vector) directly from Illustrator in Muse and keep a path editable vector with attributes like thinknesses different line and maybe even anchor that can still be moved.

    Once the site is finished and designed, it must then only need to be transformed and optimized raster image/s (png or jpeg) to export (depending on the output (computer or Tablet). Apple's IWeb, used to have something like years ago, so I know it isn't an impossible coding exercise.

    In addition, Flash (UGH) use flash and the most recent Adobe Edge animate not vector capabilities?

  • Bug? Quote simple copy and paste from MS Word

    I don't know if this is a bug or not. Whenever I have a copy of MS Word with single quotes (for example, it is just a 'test') and put it inside an af:inputText field, save the value in a Java bean and then retrieve it for editing, single quotes become a reversed question mark (i.e., it's just a ¿test¿) this is only the case every time I have copy the text from MS Word. Copy from Notepad or Wordpad, but also enter manually the text not produce the bug said.

    Does anyone have an idea about this problem?

    Thank you.

    -rolly

    ... and no, I don'think it's a bug because you are facing a character conversion, which for example also happens when copying and pasting from Word to Powerpoint

  • Copy and paste from word in InDesign - foreign characters

    Hello

    I have a Word file using fonts foreign, Chinese, Korean etc.. I have the fonts on my computer because the word document shows them OK... but, if I try to copy and paste the text into InDesign, these characters that either don't watch any or you just get the color pink with small gray squares... Anyone out there has advice for how to manage this kind of situation.

    Thank you!!

    Babs

    Oooh, OK. I get my finger-waving caution.

    It could be a number of different things. I almost always place instead of copy and paste, but I have no trouble copy & paste text of complex script of any sort in any of my different versions and platforms. I figure that there are two different ways - is it something about implementing folds or Clipboard which this (which means it could be decompressed exactly in the same way as any police drop, no complex-script knowledge required) or there is something about the no Latin text itself that causes the problem. Take a look at the Clipboard (Edit-> preferences-> Clipboard handling) settings to see if these settings solves the problem by changing the settings of plain text for example.

    If this does not work, I would say showing a lot more detail. Platform, versions of Word and Indy, the specific policies are a failure, a description of the way styles are implemented in the current Word and Indy docs, maybe a sample of the doc Word and Indy zipped and made available for testing (for example if I can successfully copy and paste in the RFSO when your username cannot) (, there is something wrong with the installation of the user), and so on. Without such information, the best I can do is take random speculation.

  • I can't find my Clipboard when I am on my emails in order to copy and paste from email to other sites

    I can access my emails but when I need to copy a line or user name to leave an e-mail to another, or even copy anything on the web from a Web site to a page I can't access the Clipboard. Previously, there was a toolbar in the top left of my screen that says edit and when I click it it asked me if I wanted to copy or paste. Now I can not find anything.i need to try and copy a user name of my e-mail address to another Web page for access. The username assigned by society is confusing vedry and uponmy enter directly, it will not, but if I copy and paste does.that why I need to get this going

    You can use Ctrl + c to copy and Ctrl-v to paste.  Another thing you could check is display-toolbars, check to the Clipboard.

  • How can I audio copy and paste from one slide to another in 8 Captivate?

    When I try to copy a bit of audio from one side to the other, I copy and paste, but it doesn't work.  Should be simple, but I was not able to understand.

    Thank you

    Captivate allows you to edit audio files in a certain extent, but you must make sure that you are in the EDIT Audio dialog box tab drag, not the tab add/replace.

    You can't cut and paste a piece of audio from a slide to another using this dialog box.  You can only copy and paste audio part of the audio clip to another part of the same clip.  In order to combine audio from a separate clip you must insert the whole clip and then cut out the pieces you want.  Tedious, I agree, but it's like that.  If you have the creative cloud Adobe, Adobe Audition to edit your clips outside Captivate.

  • Can I copy and paste from one project to another?

    I have a scrolling title works very well in a single project and wanted to "simply" copy and paste into another project.  After the copy on the project 1, when I come to 2 project to make the dough, there are nothing to paste.  Is it something with Premiere elements 12, or with my iMac for not keeping that I copied into the memory buffer appropriate?  I found something online which implies there was a software to do this, but I can't believe that this is the only solution.

    I also created a "temporary project" for easier editing with images, transitions and added I want to put into my project "master."  I could create an avi and bring it back on, but I was hoping to get the project finished in a single source.  Any thoughts would be appreciated. Merci.

    The merger of two projects into one is not relevant and overlooks the important of Premiere Elements concepts if all you want to do is to use a title of a project in another.

    There is a simple and effective way to do it. Essentially, you create your title in the Titler to project 1 and then 'save' as a CTR file which can be imported into another project of Premiere Elements through the Add Media/files and folders.

    1. in the project 1, create your title in the Titler. Close to there.

    2. always in 1 project, go to the active project and it highlight / select the thumbnail for the title.

    3. can I go to Menu/export/name of the file and export/save your title as a file .prtl.

    4. If necessary, import the .prtl file project 2... Add media/files and folders/projects active where drag you it to its destination of chronology.

    Conventional techniques to transfer the contents of one Premiere Elements project to another will not apply to your situation somehow.

    Please see the newsletter and let us know how the above worked for you.

    Remember, you don't want to highlight the title in the timeline to get an active file Menu/Export/Title...needs to be the highlight / select the

    title in the active project, then Menu/export/name of the file.

  • copy and paste from word document pdf document

    I want to copy and paste the information from my word document to my pdf document, sometimes it is difficult to make it stick. Y at - it an easy way.

    Not really. This is not normal or regular way of working with PDF files, for which edition is a last desperate resort.

    Generally, you can stick once you have selected the right to the tool for editing and selected from the existing text, but there is little useful reflow. You should do all the work in Word if possible.
