then choose Object > Ungroup. If you copy and paste or drag and drop text from Illustrator into InDesign, you can color, rotate, and scale the text in InDesign, but you can’t edit the text. If you need to transfer editable text from Illustrator to InDesign, select the text with the Type tool in Illustrator, copy it, and then paste it into InDesign. Before you copy and paste or drag and drop Illustrator objects into InDesign, make sure that Copy As AICB (Adobe Illustrator Clipboard) is checked in the File Handling & Clipboard pane of the Illustrator Preferences dialog box, and that Prefer PDF When Pasting is not checked in the File Handling pane of the InDesign Preferences dialog box. If Prefer PDF When Pasting is selected in the File Handling & Clipboard pane, individual objects will not be editable in InDesign. Does InDesign support transparency in imported PDf files? If you place an Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) file that contains transparency into an InDesign document, the transparency is preserved. If you want to make the background of an imported PDF file transparent, select Show Import Options in the Place dialog box, and then choose Transparent Background in the Place PDF dialog box. Deselecting this 42 Adobe InDesign CS3 | Conversion guide Working with Photoshop Images You can place native Photoshop (PSD) files (saved in version 4.0 or later) directly into your InDesign layouts. After placing a Photoshop image into a layout, you can modify it within InDesign by cropping or scaling it, or turning layers and layer comps on or off. You can also open the image in Photoshop, make changes, and update your InDesign layout. InDesign preserves transparency in Photoshop files, including soft edges. No matter what technique you use—paths, masks, or alpha channels—InDesign can read, display, and output it. In addition, you can access and turn Photoshop paths on or off within InDesign and use them for text wrap. InDesign also lets you control the visibility of layer comps and layers when you place native Photoshop files, as well as the visibility of layers when you place PDF-compatible Illustrator files and layered PDF files. To adjust layer comp or layer visibility during import of native Photoshop files, select Show Import Options in the Place dialog box (File > Place). In the Update Link Options area of the Image Import Options dialog box, the When Updating Link menu offers two options. If you choose Use Photoshop’s Layer Visibility, Photoshop layer settings are used if you edit the original file, and any overrides you’ve made in InDesign are overridden or reset when the link is updated. If you choose Keep Layer Visibility Overrides, any overrides you’ve made in InDesign are maintained if you edit the original file. After you click Open, adjust the settings in the Layers panel of the Show Import Options dialog box. To adjust layer comp or layer visibility after you place a graphic, select the frame that contains the graphic, choose Object > Object Layer Options, and then adjust the settings in the Object Layer Options dialog box. Note: If you’ve selected different layers or layer comps in placed PSD files in your layouts, be sure to let your printer know. Many printers flatten PSD files as part of their workflow, which would not give you the results you want. InDesign lets you place and separate duotone, tritone, and quadtone images created with Photoshop, as well as PSD files with spot colors.
when you import a Photoshop image into an InDesign layout, you have the option to show or hide individual layers or to choose a layer comp. In these screen shots, you can see how the preview image in the Image Import Options dialog box changes depending on the selected layer comp and the show/hide status of individual layers. After you place a Photoshop image that includes layers or layer comps, you can change the appearance of the image using the controls in the Object Layer Options dialog box (Object > Object Layer Options).
