    IDCS - Doesnt see the printers.. how do I fix this?

    I have tried for a while to find out a fix to this problem on the Adobe forums but nobody seems to be able to help. Installed IDCS on OSX 10.2.8. When I go to print, it says that there are no printers installed. I hit OK and the print window pops up but for "Printer" it just says like...

    Importing MSWord w/o losing formatting

    This is simple. In OSX, you just open the Word doc.. go to Print and in the print window, choose Save as PDF and import the PDF. Otherwise, you should be able to copy the text from Word and past into Indesign which will place a RTF text box with the stuff. It usually gets screwed up anyway. The...

    Is it possible to stroke the clipping path of a placed object?

    Just be sure to stroke it gently. As far as I know, there is not a way to do this. Why would you need to do it? Just stroke the thing in Photoshop.

    Photoshop EPS files too dark

    My suggestion.. which might not help, is if you have Photoshop, you shouldnt be using Publisher. Publisher is a low rent app by a company that obviously doesnt know a thing about page layout programs. Get InDesign... or at LEAST QuarkXpress. I would suggest InDesign though. Best program out there.

    Scaling textbox wiith textcontent

    Yea.. I believe, but I am not sure. I think you have to click on the box with the text in it, and then using the Transform palette, just change its dimensions from say 100% to 200%. That should scale the box and the text within the box. I havent been able to shift-apple or any key command and...

    InDesign 2 and Photoshop transparency

    You know.. its odd, I have had the same problem with 2 other files I worked on. We did a poster for somebody where I took a picture of thier Limo and then took that into Photoshop and knocked out the background, leaving the background transparent. In my Photoshop document, I had 2 layers. The...

    All Publisher 2002 does is crash.. WTF?

    Ok.. so we had Win98 on this box. We also had Publisher 2002. Ever since I started working here, Publisher has been having problems. I work for a small print shop and we get Publisher documents all the time. But 99% of the time, when I try to open a Publisher document, it crashes and wants to...

    DPI and LPI with CMYK and RGB Print Modes.. HELP

    Ok.. I cant figure this out. When I have a color image in InDesign, and I want to print it to our color copier, the ONLY way I have found to make it high quality is to print it as a Composite Grey mode. I can then change the LPI to like 133 or 200 and the angle to 45. But, when I want to print...

    Is it possible when creating columns in a text box to set it so that the left column is a certain width and the right column is a certain width?.. not just 50/50. Thanks

    KPT 6 in Photoshop 7

    I think you need to find the KPT 6.1 or 6.01 upgrade. I remember there being an issue with the KPT 6 for OSX when it first came out and they issued an update on the corel site somewhere. This is for KPT Effects right? I think its the same thing. Look around for that update.

    Nevermind. I got it fixed. It was the document. I copied all the crap to a new document and it printed fine.

    fonts

    Hmm.. I have heard a few stories... I think that Photoshop cant handle more than 400.. or at least view them in your font list within Photoshop. Something like that. I remember I installed about 1000 fonts and Photoshop would only show me up to the G's in my font list. So, I got Extensis...

    Error 199....quite urgent one actually

    The error -199 under the category of Resource Manager Errors (other than I/O) Means: -199 mapReadErr Map inconsistent with operation Now, I have no clue what that means but some programmer might know what that means. Hope that helps.

    Quark and OS X

    You should look around for some utilities or something that might allow you to boot directly into OS 9 if Quark 5 has problems in Classic. We use Quark 5 at work in OS 9 (no OSX on the machine) and it works fine and I have never had any problems with using the Classic environment at home on my...

    logo´s imported to indesign looks bad printed

    When you print, check all of your print settings. Make sure that your LPI is set to around 120 and your output quality is set to Maximum or something like that. Im not sure of the exact names but make sure all the "quality" type settings are set to max. Hope that helps.

    Color Separation and output quality vs QuarkXPress

    Something odd just happened. I saved an image from Photoshop.. a greyscale image as a Phoshop DCS 2.0 file like you specified above and dropped that into Quark and tried to print and it didnt print. Do those Photoshop DCS file types only work a certain way or only work in InDesign? I know im...

    Color Separation and output quality vs QuarkXPress

    Here is how we have been doing our color separations. And I know its probably wrong or not the best way to do it so any suggestions would be gladly accepted. If we get some sort of a logo or something from a company that we need to color seperate for print to do a business card, or envelope or...

    Color Separation and output quality vs QuarkXPress

    picklefish, Thanks for the info. I know what most things done in Photoshop are "bitmaps" and very little is actually vector, however, what I was referring to as a "Bitmap" is when you go to Image>Mode and change from RGB or CMYK to Bitmap thus making a black and white image...
