PDF in InDesign files does not work

Hi all, this is my first post on the Adobe community.  I have a problem arose last week and I'm going crazy.  Help, please!  I'm running on a MacBook Pro with OSX 10.7.5.

I have been using a workflow to create tables in InDesign for months without any problem:

1 calculate a complex table in Excel

2 paste the table into PowerPoint for formatting

3. copy the table in PowerPoint, then paste it returned as a pdf image

4 option-click on the pdf image on the slide to save it as a pdf file

5. go to a picture InDesign who already has a linked picture, again the link to the new pdf file.

This workflow has been very helpful because I have a lot of complex and carefully set tables in form, I need to get into InDesign.  Now, since upgrading both my Microsoft Office 2011 and my Adobe CS6 SW it does not.

I can copy, paste-as-pdf, save the pdf file.   But when I try to link to it in InDesign we get the message "cannot open the pdf file.

I always followed the old files to pdf without problem, and I can use this workflow on the pdf text of PowerPoint files.  Pdf files that contain tables do not bind in InDesign.  I tried to make the past-as-pdf in Microsoft Word and the behavior is the same.

All PDFs in Acrobat air.

I thank very you much for any assistance.

I get the same results here that you get, and I see no reason for this. I was able to open the PDF file in Illustrator (not something I would recommend most of the time, but this file has no text) and re-register without any changes and it ended. I think it must be something that adds Mac Quartz or leaving out, but I can't say what.

They really are paintings rather than what we normally consider as tables. Do you have Illustrator? It would be easy enough to replicate these in Illustrator directly (and not so difficult to ID using traditional tables with different fills blank cells), but if you're comfrotable in Excel, it is generally recommended that Excel graphs pasted in Illustrator and then put in memory in PDF format.

  • Bug / / eyebrows file does not work in APEX 4.1.1

    Hi guys,.
    I just installed APEX 4.1.1 on Oracle 11 g R2 xe. on the WEB SERVER in Windows Server 2008 computer. with earphone 1.1.3 of the APEX. deployed on Glassfish 3.1.2. and the user Goolge chrome...

    Element browse file does not work... whether on my request (when the value is required), or on request builder.e.g when I tried to import an application:
    I selected the file, then click NEXT, but I get this error:
    1 error has occurred
    File must be selected to download. (Go to error)
    Something to mention, when I installed APEX, I have not download images
    @apxldimg.sql
    and this because I want to work on Glassfish and assume that no need to download the images in the DB...

    Kind regards

    I'm having a similar problem. See the thread "Thread: problem importing Application with Glassfish 4.1.2.

    I think he is Glassfish 3.1.2 related as it works very well in Glassfish 3.1.0 and 3.0.1. For what it's worth I'm on 64-bit RHEL 5.x, so I don't think it's a Windows specific issue either.

  • Place .docx in InDesign cs4 does not work

    I know I must be missing something very stupid, but this is the second project, I had this problem.

    My teacher told us to put our Word documents rather than copy and paste.  I have master pages with columns and text boxes.  On the page where I want the text, I did ctrl-shift-click to activate the box...

    I tried to place my .docx and nothing appears.  I don't get the cursor changed to who has demonstrated that he is 'hanging' there either.  I tried to choose the text tool and get the flashing cursor in the box text, then using the place and it still does not work.  I clicked on just try to hang on the slider, but nothing.  What step am I missing?

    Thanks in advance for your answers.

    There are a number of things that could happen. One is that the docx should start with a page break or an item that is too large to fit on the page, in which case it bumped to the next page or are not visible at all. Use the 'editor' mode to see if there is any text in the history, or find a symbol of overset text (a red sign in a box) in the bottom right of the text column.

    It could also be Microsoft Weirdness - I got used to simplify files in Word before you try to place them. Turn off "track revisions" and click "accept all changes" and save or even save again in the .doc instead of docx format in case there is something that hangs the Indesign import filters.

  • the application builder exe file does not work

    Hi all

    I have a usb data acquisition module, it is USB 2408-2AO of MC. I order the module with a VI and it works very well. I used the Application Builder to create an exe of the VI. The exe works great too, but only on my own computer and not on other computers.

    I already made the other screws's exe files and never had any problems to run the exe on other machines. I also tried to do an installation of the VI program and not just a stand-alone application, but once again the final application does not work. The application runs without problem on the target computer, no errors are displayed, but it just does not control the USB module as it should. I think the problem is that the builder Application does not include al screws required in the installation program, particularly MC devices to control the USB device. I tried to manually choose the screws, but it seems that everything is included... I am sure that the problem is the USB device, as I did other exe files and they all work very well (but they do not control the USB device) on other machines. Someone has any idea how to solve the problem?


  • Demarshalling xml with the automatically generated class JAXB2.0 file does not work in jdeveloper 11.1.1.9

    I'm trying to familiarize themselves with JAXB in jdeveloper. I am facing some problems. There are a few test cases for which he works, for others it is not.

    Case 1:

    XML file is created manually. Respective java class to xmlelements is created manually. There is no ObjectFactory.java or jaxb.properties. Demarshalling this XML file works fine.

    Case 2:

    XML file is not created manually. All the respective java classes including ObjectFactory.java and jaxb.properties are generated using the widget ' JAXB 2.0 content XML Schema model "jdeveloper. I deleted ObjectFactory.java, jaxb.properties, and package - info.java. Demarshalling xml with this class file works fine.


    Case 3:

    Even in case 2, but this time I do not delete or change whatever it is generated and used as it is. It does not work. Get the following error.

    The project is included in the annex to this issue. It is ready for use. More information in the commentary to the java code. The main class is JAXBExampleClass.java.

    What is the problem with case 3?

    OK, I've been messing around with codes generated a bit and found the solution. The problem is that the value of the XmlSchema namespace had error in package - info.java class. There is no specified XmlSchema namespace in the XML file. Thus, the given value in the package - info.java was wrong.

    @javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlSchema (namespace = "http://www.example.org", value / / wrong, set it to an empty string or that of your xml file, if it has any)

    elementFormDefault =

    javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlNsForm.QUALIFIED)

    package com.example.jaxbintro.xmlerror;

    After you set the namespace to the empty string, since my xml file do not have one, code ran very well.

    @javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlSchema (namespace = "",)

    elementFormDefault =

    javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlNsForm.QUALIFIED)

    package com.example.jaxbintro.xmlerror;

    The file package - info.java can also be removed and it will work. For more details on the package and XmlSchema annotated level, what information on the package class is for, be found in the following link.

  • DNG converter NEF with Nikon 5500 files does not work

    Hello

    hope it's someone who can help me. I have a new Nikon D5500, but Lightroom 5. As it is not compatible, I use the DNG Converter to convert my NEF files to DNG, so I can use it in Lightroom 5. I converted the files two days ago, but since today the DNG Converter does not detect my NEF files in the corresponding folder.

    Also, I tried to update the compatibility mode that I have Windows 8, but even if it does not work.

    Any idea? I would appreciate answers I want to prepare the photos of my sister's wedding.

    Thank you so much in advance.

    Concerning

    Matthas

    A common mistake that you are probably aware of, is that the DNG Converter works at the FILE level. In other words, in the DNG Converter, you choose the file, but you do not open this folder. If you have selected the folder, but are still having the problem, then another consideration would be the software that was used to download the images. Some versions of Nikon Transfer seem to influence the NEF files that Adobe software cannot read. If none of these problems relate to your situation, please explain what is different about these NEF files from the previous that you were able to convert.

  • Find missing files does not work - what don't get me?

    I have had my photos stored on an external hard drive and upgraded to a bigger external drive. My husband has copied the files to the new drive. Now I can't access photos on the drive. I followed the steps to update the location of the pictures, but it does not work. I tried "find lack of pictures" and that does not work either. I follow the steps, but nothing happens.

    What I am doing wrong? I suspect, I'm missing a simple step, but I tried several times with both drives. I restarted LR. I restarted the computer. Nothing makes no difference.

    Thanks for any help or someone can give advice.

    Please connect the new external drive that contains all of the images, now open Lightroom and on the Library tab, update the location of the folder.

  • exported file does not work

    I did a 10-minute film, edited and exported, but when I went to open after it exported, it says quicktime cannot open it. I exported it twice with the same problem. I thought that maybe I could get it to play in Google docs, but the file was not compatible with Google docs, so he had an option to convert, but is not yet compatible with the conversion program. Is there a solution to this problem and what are the causes?

    You can consider installing VLC Player, it of free and can play anything either, or anything.  Google, try to get the download of the Foundation.  See if VLC can play.

    I then go back into the project and change export settings to a different wrapper and see how it goes.  According to what you have or want to do with the fact that is the YouTube preset pretty vanilla.

    If this does not work I try to export small pieces of it, see if you can get something, anything, to knit, then expand until you have a problem.

Now all my time scrolling (vertical Parallax) does NOT work. I've included dumpsters of screen of the CC and CC2014 pages. The CC2014 page has all the elements of list and the dtage box is ignored.

    Upgrading composition is fine, except that the value of 'Overflow' of the scene is set wrongly.

    Set the 'excess' of the 'visible', 'scroll', and things works perfectly then.
