MemberThanks Anne-Marie. I’ll try that as soon as I get out from under some deadlines. I’ll report back once I do.
MemberYes, that is weird … what makes me crazy is when preflight says there’s a font, but I can’t find it. It usually ends up being my stupidity, drawing a box with the text tool instead of the rectangle tool.
I do think sometimes gremlins happen, but only when we’re under tight deadlines.
MemberI’m not even going to try and figure out the problem … I wouldn’t even know where to start. I don’t very often use text on a path anyway, and since converting to outlines takes care of the problem, I’m not going to lose any sleep over it.
Maybe one of the ID experts will offer some insight.
MemberThanks all for your replies. I’ve found the problem. Not an “unknown” font, not “overprint fill in attributes” … something simple.
The text that didn’t export to PDF was text on a curved path – for some (unknown) reason, the path is the problem. Because if I make it regular text, it’s fine. This explains why it worked once converted to outlines.
Mystery solved … sort of.
MemberYes, it’s the “regular” – all the text shows up, except this one line. It’s a mystery.
MemberThank you, appreciate the response … but that’s not it. All layers are set to print.
And as I mentioned, if I convert that particular line of text to outlines, it shows up.
MemberGood luck!
MemberIs there no way to report this sort of thing?!
MemberThat’s odd – the first thing I would do is check the master pages. Perhaps you have items duplicated on top of one another?
I can see no other reason for this happening.
MemberThanks so much for your help, Anne-Marie.
MemberActually – a few more questions.
Is it best to leave images in RGB mode? What about fonts … should they be converted to outlines?
MemberAnne-Marie,
Thank you so much. I know we’re not supposed to say we have a “stupid question”, but now I feel like mine was. I can’t believe it’s that simple – I’ve spent all morning stressing about it for nothing. :)
Now here’s hoping the client will know what I mean by pixel dimensions.
MemberI’m reviving this post, because I could really use some help. Keep in mind that I am using CS3, and there is no option at this point for software or OS upgrades – Mac Snow Leopard is where I am. As far as I know, there are no plugins for CS3.
I just got a project to design a cover for an ebook. The client’s book is in mobi format, and I want to make sure I can deliver – if there is actual coding involved, I fear I’ll be in trouble. Where does coding come in? I’ve never done any coding. All my design work has been for print.
I’ve downloaded and installed ADE 2.0, and see that I can do a cross-media export to XHTML/Digital Editions with my file. I did a quick layout with a color title bar, artwork and text, but when it opens in ADE, all I see is the text. I believe it’s a good idea to apply character styles to the text, but what happens with placed photos or artwork? Why can’t I see them?
Where does Calibre fit into this process? Do I actually have to use Calibre to convert the ADE file? Is that a seamless process?
I’ve found a lot of tutorials, but they’re all for newer versions of InDesign. Any insight anyone can offer would be very much appreciated. If I can’t do this easily, I won’t accept this project because I want to be fair to the client.
MemberThanks Janis – I did find a plugin for CS4 … not sure how that compares with the export function you mention for CS6.
My older OS (Snow Leopard) will not support the newer software versions available on Adobe Cloud – a monthly fee is out of my reach anyway.
September 21, 2012 at 8:48 am in reply to: Links palette not linking to Photoshop anymore. Help? #63197MemberThank you David … I had a vague thought to check that, but like a lot of thoughts – it was in and out of my head with my acting on it.
I recently had the video card in my Mac replaced and I think a lot of my preferences need to be reset. I shoulda known!
