When you resize the graphic does not change size effects

Jul 4, 2012 2:31 AM

Hello,

 

 

has had long-standing problem of Indesign CS3 (CS1 in it worked correctly, I did not use CS2).

I now have a version of CS6.

This to me is that the client sends us a graphic that is done in 1:1 and size as 250x200 cm. (printed on textiles).

For easier processing and graphics, PDF creation reduces the size of 1:10. And here is the problem. All effects (shadows, transparency, will remain in its original size and I have one effect after another to mark oo reduce one decimal place)

 

 

More can be seen in this video: http://screenr.com/sXZ8

 

 

Imagine the case that I do graphics on a number of purposes: Business cards, flyers, billboards, posters. All in one spirit. If I do graphics on the flyer and diminishing it to the card, I have to redo all the effects ... : (

 

 

I report this bug to Adobe Support Czech for a long time, but no response. : (

    If your German is good enough or you can rely on something like Google Translate, go over to Gerald Singelmanns' Blog "indesign-faq" where you can find a script for scaling effects and a discussion when and if an effect gets scaled. it's about CS3 and CS4, so test with caution:

     

    The AppleScript script "Scaling Effects" (and also a link to its JavaScript version):
    http://indesign-faq.de/de/effekte-skalieren

     

    The discussion "Scaling Effects, an Update":
    http://indesign-faq.de/node/13


    As you can see in the comments section I tested the JavaScript flavor of this script in December 2012 with InDesign CS5 and CS5.5 without problems (German OSX 10.6.8). No experience in InDesign CS6 so far. Go, try it out and report here if it is working … Or, give a brief notice to Gerald if something is going wrong.

    Thank you so much for the tip.

     

     

    But because the work PC, I assume that even if it will work with CS6, probably not to Windows 7 64bit.

    Yet it is a pity that even if Adobe knows about this matter (Czech Adobe support told me that it will be fixed in version CS6), added to set a check box "resize effects when changing size", as in the "Changing adjust the size of the thickness of the stroke "

    The JavaScript version of the script will work in both worlds: Mac OSX and MS Windows…
    It should work with your CS3 version on Windows 7 64bit.

    The only thing is that I had no time to test it with InDesign CS6.

    Ok . I took a little time to make a quick test with InDesign CS6: the script is working…

     

    So go ahead and try for yourself…

    In my version of CS6 not. I just wrote that promise, but unfortunately failed. (That's why I founded this discussion.
