  • Switching to text in an InDesign file done with text in a Word document?

    Hello
    As I recently started working with InDesign, this question may seem quite silly. I have a finished InDesign file and what I have to do is to replace the text in the InDesign document with the text in a Word document. The text frames must remain in the same places, fonts may be the same, etc., so I just wanted to know how to replace this text in the InDesign document without copy - paste the text in the Word file in each text block. Basically, I have a guide to the user of a device in one language, and I have to insert the translated text that the user guide is in another language. Is it by linking documents?

    Yours faithfully,

    VerySeriousPerson

    It is a way to do it. But you will need to format the new document with paragraph styles.

    1. Open existing document ID
    2. Save as and change the file name (language to translate to?)
    3. Insert the cursor at the beginning of the document
    4. CRLT/SHIFT/END to select all of the text in the document (this is for Windows)
    5. Delete
    6. File/Place the file with the text you want. Make sure that you press SHIFT while placing the file, the text flows to all text frames.
    7. Format the document as you wish

    Second step is very important to keep the original file.

  • How a button can work between 2 indesign files

    I am creating a catalog of products and each section has been created in an indesign file, separated with a separate content page that includes the buttons to link to each of the indesign files. When these are added as items to the folio of the function of the buttons do not work. There are buttons in each indesign file that works when then action is to go to another page in the same file, but try the GET them to post a link to other files turns out to be problematic. Does anyone know how this can be achieved.

    Thank you very much

    For the record, two additional notes about the navto: link...

    • To access a particular page, use navto:ArticleName #1
    • The number following the ' # ' indicates the page number. HOWEVER, the page numbering starts at zero. for example to link to page 3 of an article, you would use #2
  • Urgent! InDesign CC, problems of placement of the image with Mac and Windows

    Hello

    When I tried to place an image or move pages in another file, indesign gives the following error.

    "The file does not exist, you may not, or the file is perhaps currently in use"

    I tried renaming the file, copy the file or re-edit the images... Nothing has worked... I am convinced that this is a problem with the mac and windows integration...

    How can I transfer files without problem from the Mac to the PC or vice versa.

    already solved...
    Mac OS permission issues.
    Adobe customer service solved the problem

    For more explanations and for your understanding...

    1. I create a template for my colleagues to work under Windows. Give them the files with a flash drive.

    2 employees were working on Mac...
    3. I took the model in a flash drive and tried to place some pictures...

    4 indesign gives me an error saying "the file does not exist, you may not, or the file may be in use by another application."
    5. I tried to recreate a link to images in document thinking "Okay maybe." it's a problem of link

    6 indesign gives me an error saying "the file does not exist, you may not, or the file may be in use by another application."

    7. I have tried to move the pages in the document to another, think "might be that I can work around this problem.
    8 indesign gives me an error saying "the file does not exist, you may not, or the file may be in use by another application."

    9. I tried to place another image to another folder

    10 indesign gives me an error saying "the file does not exist, you may not, or the file may be in use by another application."

    11. I tried to rename the file and after that the evolution of the file

    12 indesign gives me an error saying "the file does not exist, you may not, or the file may be in use by another application."

    I guess that this time there is no confussion in your mind...

    to cut the story short, it's a problem generated by authorization on Mac problems. It is resolved by defining the whole Adobe preferences folder and its contents to be read/write, not just read-only.
    In Mac OS: [Drive] /Users/ [username] / Library/Preferences/Adobe
    In Windows [drive] \Users\ [username] \AppData\Roaming\Adobe

    also after you change these files for read/write, you must copy the files you worked on once again.

    Thanks for your attention...

  • 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.

  • Dear InDesign professionals, I have a problem with an InDesign Document.

    Dear professional inDesign,

    I have a problem with an InDesign Document. While opening, ID crashes down. I tried all the options in your HelpCenter, tried to open it in several applications, several Mac and PC. No luck. Is it possible to open it?

    This document is quite important vor an architecture-projekt.

    Thank you very much!!!

    Greetings,

    Markus

    I'm afraid that I'm not having luck-getting an error code 5 even after running the recovery tools, that I have. I open in a text editor and he was able to read some version information, or at least what resembles the version information, and it seems that it might have been converted from CS to CS2 to CS3, but when generating 443, which was the first production or the latest beta version (do not remember at this point) , but that doesn't help much.

    At this point the only suggestion that I have left is the Markzware recovery service company paid: Bad InDesign or Quark File Recovery submission form

  • You can open the same indesign file on mac and PC?

    Watch creative installation cloud on a mac and PC (at work) but need to read old and new indesign files created. Thank you

    1. The INDD format back on Mac and Windows.
    2. If you have the same version or a version more recent that the file was created with you can open it without problem.
    3. If you want to open a file in an earlier version, you should ask an IDML file from the initiator. But expect undesirable changes in the file.
    4. Inside the creative cloud you can open cs6 up any latest file if you have an internet connection, but expect changes too.
    5. Problems between Mac and Windows are often policies. The Mac can read only fonts Windows, but Windows can not read only Mac fonts. If you are using OTF fonts only you have no problem.
    6. New OS have problems with T1 (Postscript fonts), my recommendation is to avoid.
    7. Using PSE often of problems appear, specific with the new operating system and postscript fonts are embedded in the EPS, do not use it, use PDF/X-4.

  • Fixed someone having problems generating a file format epub from InDesign file?

    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!

    Thank you

    Joe

    BAD.jpgGOOD.jpg

    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.

  • Since the installation of Mac Mavericks all my friends with Macs and I have problems with the cursor disappears, that in Firefox, Safari is very good...

    I stopped using Firefox as nothing I've done has corrected this problem. I tried to close Firefox and restart it, I erased all my Add-ons and then added adblock back (it's the only one), but it still does not work. I deleted files so that I have more space - I can't think of anything that works. I talked to four of my friends with Macs and they are all having the same problem with Firefox since the Mavericks.

    Cursor disappears huh? It's quite strange. All of the compatibility of the Mavericks can be followed in [Bug 883824]

    Try this work around:

    1. Go to Firefox > Preferences > advanced > general
    2. Always check "use the cursor keys to navigate through the pages.
    3. Press OK.

    Or try the Mac preferences noted here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23542890#24471966

  • STORE. E TV - problems with Mac and NTFS

    Hello

    yesterday I bought the Toshiba Multimedia Stor.e TV with 500 GB HDD.

    Packed, placed some data from my iMac on the HARD drive, it connected to my TV---> nothing works, the example of the files that were already on the work of HARD drive, won't my files.

    I thought of a few reasons and tried somethings out, the result: MAC metadata are the problem. The HARD drive got NTFS (which I also want to use in the future) and on Mac I use MacFuse to manage NTFS---> Far now without any problem, but somehow Stor.E tv will play all files that I have some Mac inside metadata.

    So, I copy the files from the disk on a Windows PC, just copy it to the Stor.e. ---> No fun at all

    ist ther ecoffet another solution? As an update of firmware that makes the Stor.e able to manage files Mac or an app that kan remove metadata files Mac?

    Sincerely Christian.abbel

    SRY for my bad English, I'm not used to use English

    Hello Christian,.

    The Toshiba HDD Multimedia Stor.e TV supports only MPEG-1/2/4, DAT, VOB, MP4, AVI, XVID and MJPEG files.
    If you want to use another type of file, you must convert in one of the supported file types.

    The TV Stro.e was not developed to play files metadata of Mac and it s so not able to read them.
    So unfortunately, it cannot update any firmware released for this.

    You copy the files to a Windows PC or you convert to one of the supported format.

    Sorry for no better news but that s with the specifications of the TV Stor.e.

    Best regards

  • Lo-res images appear in the exported PDF from Indesign files - anyone else having this problem?

    I used Indesign for years without this problem...

    But I noticed recently that many of these images (PSD, TIFF, or JPEG) that I placed in Indesign files are exported as pixelated, versions low resolution when I export for printing (PDF/X-1).

    I tried different settings, but in each case, the image (which appears thin and sharp as seen in Indesign) came out like a pixelated mess blurred.

    This seems to have started happening in the past months.

    Vector graphics are fine.

    Anyone else having this problem?

    Or someone at - it a solution?

    Also use some PDF parameters where resolution is not sous-echantillonnees at all.

    Turn off downsampling.

    And I would like to test, when you export to PDF/X-4 would make to the resolution of the images.

    Just to know, if something is fundamentally wrong with your PDF export feature perhaps.

    DVD burning problem: I burn the movie on widescreen PAL on a DVD-R disc. I managed it burned without menu. I have now added a "Pan and Zoom" menu with a main marker at 00:00:00:00, 21 scene markers and a cleat to 01:29:32:17 (the end of the film). The combustion is interrupted with a message to watch a C:\Users\ianle_000\Documents\20151206160446.iso file. There is no file. The message also provides a link for an explanation. This Web page is impossible to obtain. I'm running on a PC with Windows 8.1.

    Thank you once again. I burned the DVD!

    It is the first film for which I have reached the stage of burning. I'm not sure why she didn't in the first place. I tried to burn the "no menu" version, but at the time, was shot the DVD itself - I wonder when he reached this point?

    So, I burned the "no menu" version to another DVD, that worked, then the version of menu, with no cleat to a third DVD, which reads perfectly.

    Now that I have a successful routine, I'll stick to it.

    Thanks for all your help.
