Prepress software How to Q & A

Q How can I arrange this formula in InDesign?

A You can use the MathMagic plug-in of InDesignCS to arrange this formula. In InDesign, "New formula"-> Automatically load MathMagic to edit the formula-> Click "Update" under the File menu-> Close MathMagic and return to InDesigh.

Q After opening QUARK file with NIDESIGN for layout, the image cannot be output to PDF, what is the problem?

A is very simple, it can be solved by de-embedding and re-inserting it.

Q What compression software are available under Apple?

A The more common one is STUFF EXPANDER. The decompression of this software is free, but compression is charged. MAC OS itself can archive files in ZIP format, but it is basically uncompressed (right-click menu "archive" option, single-button mouse, please press OPTION key + click-OS X began to support two-button mouse) RAR, but currently only has a character interface, but the speed is much faster than under WIN, it is worth using.

Q Is Apple's hardware maintenance different from PC?

A is no different, it is more convenient. If you want to dismantle it, you must have a good habit.

Q How to specify the length and width of a cell accurately in DINDESIGN? I want to specify the size of a frame, 8 cm wide and 9 cm high, which is divided into 6 rows and 4 columns. Normally, the size of the table is not defined first, but the size of the frame is defined first. Form the table according to the framework. In this size frame, I want to put 6 rows and 4 columns, that is, each grid is 2 × 1.5CM. Of course, this is an integer, which is easier. But when a frame is 43 × 21CM, and it needs to be evenly divided into 17 rows and 6 columns, it is not easy to specify the length and width of the cell accurately.

A First draw a text box (such as 43 × 21CM), create a new table (such as 17 rows and 6 columns) in the box, use the mouse to pull the right line to 21CM, and the bottom line to 43CM; select the table, right click, line Average / column average. In fact, the newly created table is evenly divided into columns.

Q There is a file with a size of 47 × 120 (MM), which is now designed in Illustrtor, and then typeset in pagemaker to the end of the non-forest film. What I want to ask is: when this size is 47 × 120, a new file is created in illustrtou Is it set to the size of 47 × 120? Or add another 3 cm of bleeding, that is: 53 × 126. Is it necessary to add this 3 cm side bleeding at the time of design?

A 1. When the new file is created in illustrtou, it is newly built 47 × 120

2. The bleeding is slightly outside the range of 47 × 120, usually more than 3mm

3. Draw a large transparent square frame in Ai and place it in the center of the page. This frame must contain everything

4. If there is no bleeding in each Ai, this transparent square frame is recommended to be 47 × 120

5. If a certain Ai has a lot of bleeding, it is recommended to use this as the basis for measuring the transparent square frame, each Ai is added with a frame of equal size and equal position, and the frame is assumed to be 60 × 135. Save as EPS

6. Pagemaker set single page mode, a few pages Ai will open a few pages PM, the layout size is still 47 × 120

7. Place the EPS and place it in the middle. The size of all EPS should be 60 × 135, there are still 6.5mm and 7.5mm bleeding around

Q I always think that filling grayscale images in INDESIGN is the same as in PM and FreeHand, you can fill in colors at will, I do n’t know whether it is my INDESIGN settings (currently I only added CJK, no settings have been changed) or INDESIGN filled gray images Originally this effect. How is it?

A I do n’t know why you want to do this kind of filling. If you want to achieve an effect, you can continue to read it. If you want to turn it into monochrome printing, hehe, that ’s another matter. In general, I import a picture, whether it is color or black and white. Press ALT to copy one. Use the positiontool to select the picture of the picture, and note that the color of the border has changed. After deleting the picture in the above border, whatever color you fill in, as for copying, it is to get a border of the same size as the original picture. After aligning, use HUE transparent to get the following results, this is more flexible, you can change the fill color at any time. As for the more advanced usages in INDESIGN, imagination is the most important.

Q Why can't I watch web pages with videos under Apple?

A First, you should ensure that your video playback software is complete. For example, DIVX, WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER, REAL ONE all have MAC version. Secondly, because the browser SAFARI under MAC does not support DHTML, but IE 4MAC has too many problems (it seems to stop the development of the new version), so many video-on-demand web pages using DHTML are very inconvenient to use MAC to view. There is currently no easy-to-use streaming media download software under MAC. As a side note, SAFARI version 1.2 does not support REALONE very well, and usually web pages with RM or RMVB format videos cannot be browsed.

Q Why sometimes the USB flash drives and mobile hard drives brought by customers are not recognized by Apple?

A The problem of using U disk and mobile hard disk under Apple should pay attention to several aspects:

1. The MAC operating system does not support FAT 16, and some U disks use the FAT 16 format by default and need to be formatted with FAT 32 again.

2. As above, NTFS is not supported. Individuals who need to use NTFS format U disk under 2K and XP also need to use FAT 32.

3. Formatting in Apple must not use Apple's special file format, otherwise the PC will not recognize it.

4. The original G4 only has a USB 1.0 interface, and the interface box with USB 2.0 can only be recognized as 1.0, working in 1.0 compatibility mode, and the speed is slower than that of the PC. So it is best to use the IEEE 1394 interface.

5. Be careful! Sometimes for unrecognized partitions, MAC OS X will prompt you to "initialize"! ! Don't just click "OK", don't understand the dictionary and make a decision, otherwise don't regret it!

Q Do the fonts in the EPS file in the PAGEMAKER file have to be transferred? Is there a way not to turn? The pictures in the book in hand are all EPS files, and the publisher has not yet proofread. It is estimated that it will be changed a lot at the time, so I do n’t want to transfer the precious fonts to the path. It will be very troublesome to modify it at the time. Turn the path but can also not affect the method of later work. In fact, after placing the font in each EPS, it can display the font, but the position phenomenon occurs (I use PAGEMAKER and INDESIGN to output the PDF file, the font is mainly Founder and Hanyi). I don't know how to solve it. I also tried a method, that is, copy the text in each EPS file to a transfer path, keep a text in the EPS file and hide it, but the text that appeared after opening the hidden file appeared again. .

A No matter how you change it, there is no other way than deleting it, because the hidden object is also an object, but it is not displayed. Except that EPS is a customer's file, it will not do this when you make your own things. In the typesetting software, in addition to what font effect, so there is no such problem. However, I have an idea that EPS is opened with AI software, then copied and pasted in IDESIGN. Except for the special effects in AI that cannot be displayed in INDESIGN, everything else is normal.

Q I use the homepage to arrange automatic page numbers, because I use double-sided pages, so that the first page is a single page, but my first page does not have page numbers, how to cancel?

A It is not clear what version of InDesign you are using. This problem is actually very simple for INDESIGNCS, which is also the excellent point of INDESIGNCS. To start page numbering from the second page, you can set the start page number to "2" in the automatic page number setting.

Q InDesign's question about vertical and horizontal text, like the situation in the picture, one or two numbers are still easy to solve. What should I do with a large number of such files? After all, no one wants to hold his head tilted.

A Set the automatic vertical, horizontal and horizontal in the paragraph layout first, and then put the text in the vertical mode or the existing text horizontal and vertical will work. The setting in the figure is to make the numbers no more than 2 digits vertical and horizontal. If you change this setting, more or less will cause new problems. For example, the ellipsis and dash are also crossed.

Q What is the difference between the video card under Apple and the PC?

A Although the display card under Apple also uses the AGP interface, it is basically designed in reverse (Apple ’s motherboard is also designed in reverse, which can reduce the length of the connection), and the power supply adopts a special design. Especially for the new models of G4 and G5, since the standard MAC LCD is powered by the leading display connector, and can be turned off by turning on the monitor induction power switch, it is impossible to transform the PC card into the MAC. :

1. You can't get a dedicated interface, and you can't solder if you get it.

2. Even if you don't need a dedicated interface to connect to a general monitor, the transformation is also a huge project, because as mentioned earlier, the graphics card on the MAC is specially designed for "reverse".

3. Change the latest graphics card, MAC OS X does not support is also blindly strenuous. Even if it is supported, the MAC display driver usually has poor OPENGL performance, and it does not support any DX9.

Q eMAC 1G, 10.3 system, sometimes the hard disk will not be recognized after restarting, gray screen, even after starting with random CD-ROM, there is no hard disk even in "Open Disk Utility", sometimes hold down the mouse when restarting Eject the optical drive, (there is no disc in the optical drive) and enter the system normally. It's strange, now I can't get in anymore, anxious.

A Use Norton Doctor to repair the disk directory.

Q In the paragraph format nesting of InDesign, what is the difference between UPTO and THROUGH?

A Nested style refers to nesting character styles in paragraph styles. How can you create a character style first? It is best to create two different styles to see the effect. The end symbol in the nested style is not a general end symbol, but refers to the symbol you specify in this column to end the application of this style and start applying the next style. For example, if you specify the end character as the tab character for the first style, then in the text with the nested style applied, all text will be applied to each style, and when the tab character is encountered, the second character will be applied style. Through means that the style includes the end character when it is applied, and upto means does not include the end character, that is, the style is not applied to the end character. For example, if you select through for the first sampler, the tab will be included when the first style is applied, and the tab will not be included when you select upto. Then, the tab character can only be applied to the second style.

Q When I use ill8.0 to produce a movie, I often encounter EPS files placed in AI files. Because there are unnecessary parts in the EPS, they are outside the document. The AI ​​files are automatically selected when the movie is produced. The size of the image in the file comes out, including the hidden parts of the EPS file, which often causes the film to be printed without a corner line printed on the paper. Is it necessary to modify the inserted EPS first? Sometimes there are so many EPS files in it, it is very troublesome to change. Is there any good way to solve this problem.

A Use a wire frame to circle the part to be output before exporting, and then use the Crop Are / Make function of the Object menu to make the crop area. In this way, when outputting, the default size of AI is the area circled by Crop Are.
