Locks of InDesign files

• Saving indesign files

  Saving indesign files - it saves and I go where it is saved and it is locked and wont open?

  It seems that ID is not remove the locking of the flash player file. Pehaps you remove the flash drive before you close the file (or do not wait long enough for ID to delete the lock file).

  You're probably better off, if you really need a copy of the native file on the flash drive, to work on the laptop hard drive and copy the files to the flash drive more later. Work directly from flash drives is actually dangerous and can leave you with damaged files.

• Cannot change the InDesign file?

  Hello

  I recently got an InDesign file, and I need to update a few photos.  The problem is when I click on any tool and move it to the document, I get an icon of a pencil with a line through it, and I can't do any changes?  Is there a simple setting I can change to fix this?

  Thank you

• Remove the lock on all files and folders...?

  There has been a lot of questions on how to remove locks on folders and files on Windows 7. Those I've read on this site worked and the lock can be removed easily.

  ... However, you cannot do a folder/file at once. I have a lot of items on my desk, and more than half of them have these locks on them. How I removed the locks on all files and folders on my user account. There are only 2 accounts on the computer. Mine and another person. Mine is set to the administrator account, the other is just a standard user. I started by ignoring the locks for months, then I tried to get rid of them by myself, and frankly, I have no idea what I'm doing. Please, I beg you. If you know of a way, share it!

  If the locks would not constitute an obstacle to operations, why bother?

  And BTW, it; s no need AT ALL to run as an administrator on a daily basis in Windows 7. Forget everything THAT you have learned about XP - Win 7 is much more advanced.

  You realize that the built-in Administyrator account is disabled by default, and if it is possible for him, that may be beyond what you're comfortable with?

  Create another Admin account, call the Admin or Tech or similar and give it a password. Let this accouynt for the elevation of access and privilege of emergency and activate your account for daily use in a Standard user account. Your computer will be safer that way.

• Cannot use Bit Locker encryption because Bit Locker critical system files are missing or damaged.

  Original title: file corruption

  My laptop is around the age of 13 months. For the 6 months charges I couldn't play all the music in the music library of the media player. the error message would say my music files have been damaged or corrupted. I tried to delete the files, but could not. unexpetedly about 2 weeks ago the media player has started working properly, and even though I was confused, I was happy to be able to listen to my music. However, when I did my weekly back, a message appeared that said that some files could not be backed up. My computer has since fallen twice and had to repair itself and then when I tried my weekly backup only yesterday, the computer won't start backup. reads the error message: Bit Locker encryption cannot be used because the Bit Locker critical system files are missing or damaged.

  I find it strange that "file corruption" has been cited again but when I try recommended fixes, nothing changes, just as it was when I had problems with the music. Help, please

• I installed a new version of InDesign and now when I click on an InDesign file, it tries to open in Photoshop.

  I recently upgraded to InDesign and now all my InDesign files try to open in Photoshop. I tried to change how these files open by right-clicking on the file and choose open with. Photoshop is the recommended program. I unchecked "always use the selected program to open this type of file", click on browse and I found InDesign in the Program Files (X 86) folder and clicked on the InDesign program but nothing has changed. Any suggestions?

  No problem, it seems that the program is well hang in the registry. This should fix it. If not, let me know and I'll dig through some databases to see if I can find a solution.

• Text box in the shelter to cultures placed InDesign file

  I created a map in InDesign, placed in another InDesign file in the form of a graph and then cropped it to display only a part. When I export the file, it extends one of the text labels of the image placed outside the frame, so that it was cropped. Each element is cropped.

  I copied this label of a text in its own nine file, changed to a default font (Minion) and placed this document in another InDesign document nine cropping to half way down. Exported to PDF, and exports under cover as in my original.

  I then placed it a few times on the page at various sizes. I have found that at 100% and 58%, that it would not crop, but in 211 and 855% he cropped as it should, as you can see below:

  

  I thought that maybe 100% and below was the key point to which he has not worked, but at 101%, it has no crop either so it's somewhere between 101 and 211% by the look of it. File card to origin is placed at about 80%.

  Anyone know what is happening? InDesign CC 2015 (11.4.1.102) Windows (and also tried on ID 2014 with the same result)

  I used a frame as a mask to correct for the area I wanted to reframe, yours seems oversized way.

  With respect to the IDML, is not all that reliable to clean the file. I suspect that this block of text is actually the problem, but had no time to test. My next test was to cut the text in the frame and remove the empty picture frame, and then create a new image and paste the text to repalce the frame of the origin of the problems.

• Resolution of the image when you place the InDesign file in InDesign

  I feel like this is a silly question but I do not know the answer!

  If I place an InDesign file that contains a picture in a another InDesign, the resolution of the original image file is kept? For example, if I have an InDesign A5 file, that contains a chart where the ppi effective (because it's been reduced) is 600 dpi, and then I place the entire InDesign file it in another file and EXPAND, what happens to my graph?

  Thank you!

  I have a document with an InDesign file linked, an area of text that is used in many documents, so interested in this issue.

  I did a quick test and it seems to work as it should. I made a smaller file with an image linked and bound the Indesign file in a larger document, and since it is a linked InDesign file it recognizes and displays the image in the links Panel.

• How to get the indesign files subfolder

  Hi experts

  How can I tell the script what I get is the subfolders but not sub sub folder or sub sub sub... folder files.

• Corrupt the indesign file.

  Can I ask someone to help me with my indesign file corrupt? I tried several ways to open but still can't open it. Should I just send this file corrupted Adobe to fix this problem?

  Hello

  Please send your InDesign file to [email protected]. We will take a look at the document.

  If the file is larger than 10 MB, you can zip (and password protect) the file download on Cloud creative (or) Dropbox account and send us the link to the document.

  What version of InDesign are you using?

• 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.

• image quality emf export indesign file to PDF

  In my business, I prepare pdf reports. PDF files include graphics generated in excel.

  
  

  the process I use is:

  make charts in excel-> export graphics to the emf format in the specific folder (as emf is done with macro vba to export)-> link EMF to indesign-> export indesign as pdf (print)

  I am trying to implement a type of graph that includes transparency (in the specific case, a histogram with transparent colors, highlight a specific area of the graph).

  EMF are exported "correctly", as can be seen in the fixed samples

  the problem arises in indesign, when I export the indesign file to PDF (see final results):

  -J' I used to use compatibility Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3), which - for what I understand - does not recognize transparency and causes the diagrams to export with transparency to 100%

  -If I use greater compatibility (Acrobat 5 or higher), transparency is exported correctly but all the tables and "fuzzy" exported graphics (or maybe a little too intense). The effect is not considered at higher zooms - but it is important to me as graphics look OK at all zooms because report is sent to customers with initial view as full page.

  using another format that emf is not a viable option. What can be a solution in this situation? I would like to understand what is the type of adjustment of export should I use to get a clean exit.

  in case the problem is known, I would like if you can please redirect me to correct the discussion.

  Thank you.

  You can post screenshots or link to files in a dropbox folder. That said, you are using an inherently low high-end, imprecise graphical format and is awaiting the results of high-end. There are tradeoffs here.

  The best advice I can give you without you actually hire me to go through your workflow, is to stick with solid colors and make sure your transparency blend space in InDesign are defined in RGB if these documents will be viewed on screen only.

• How can I transfer InDesign files and objects in Muse?

  I was given an InDesign file of many pages that I want to use in the creation of Web pages in Muse. I'm not a user of InDesign, and I'm learning tutorials for Muse. I have trouble finding a way to carry the drawings and objects in InDesign to Muse.

  Does anyone know how to do this or direct me to a tutorial?

  Thank you

  Gustavo

  Hi Gustavo,

  Although Muse and InDesign share some common ground, it is not possible to directly import the desings in Muse. You will need to have access to the original assets and establish the pages again.

  I hope this helps.

• Saving InDesign files. Help! :)

  Is there a way to record only 2 pages as an indesign document out of a pg 150 InDesign file? Without deleting or creating a new document? Thank you!

  This fact requires a new document, but you don't have to rebuild, or copy - paste.

  Create a new document to a page with the same size of your existing page.

  In the menu of Pages in the existing palette, choose move pages.

  You can then choose the pages you want in your new document and chose not to remove the former.

  You can then delete the blank page on the other.

• Can I edit the Indesign files on my ipad with creative cloud?

  I want to make changes to the Indesign files on my ipad and just downloaded the creative application of cloud for the ipad. But I can't open my files, which are in my Dropbox, thanks to the new application.

  It is not possible to open InDesign files on an iPad with any application.

  All the Cloud Creative app allows you to view thumbnails of files. You cannot change them.

  The Adobe Comp CC application allow you to create a preliminary page for an InDesign file that you can open in InDesign. It is not a publisher of InDesign files.
