CS3 hangs when opening CS1 document

I am having difficulty opening a document created in inDesign CS with CS3.
The status bar will read 'opening file' or 'converting data,' depending on whether I first open CS3 before selecting 'open' from the program menu or simply click on the file icon to open it. Either way, the status bar fills about 1/3 of the way and then hangs.
The document will still open in the original InDesign CS.
Any thoughts?

Open the IDCS exported .inx file back in IDCS itself, then save it to a different location or with a modified name than the old IDCS file. Then try opening this new IDCS file with IDCS3.
Al
Edit: Be sure to have Color Management turned off when trying to open the .inx files. That may be why it was hanging up on you.

  • InDesign cs3 crashes when opening CS2 documents

    ID cs3 crashes when opening CS2 documents, not when open dialog appears, but after I choose file and it "starts" opening it. (core duo, xp, clean install, all updates)
    If i open ID by opening file, it crashes with standard windows dialog, if I open ID first, it does not crash, but rather behaves strangely, nothing is opening, if I move a mouse it turns to sand clock.
    Same thing happens on all machines with ID cs3 in my office.
    All other apps works fine. I did read every single forum about ID crashing and nothing helps. Files resaved in interchange format opens well. There must be something in the files that ID cs2 did and what id cs3 cannot open :( Any ideas?

    1. Is there any reason to use eps? Avoid it use AI, PSD or PDF instead.
    2. Are all used fonts ok? What kind of fonts du you use?
    3. Which Mac OS X do you use?
    Does it crash with alwayst the same files?
    What does the file history tell you? Hold down the command key and got to InDesign > About InDesign… Does it tell you somewhat more specific, like missing plugins, severly damaged files and restored files, when (in which version) the files have been created first (helps often to export to IDML and open this again and save it as INDD and work with the new file.), has the problematic file been converted from another application (Quark Xpress or PageMaker), etc.

  • Photoshop CS3 Hangs when opening files

    PS hangs when opening, duplicating images. The longer it's on the longer the wait. I'm talkin' 15 - 20 seconds. Deleted the prefs multiple times.
    Anybody else having this problem?

    Set your default printer to something local, that is actually hooked up.
    When Photoshop creates the document, it asks for the default printer information - and your printer driver is taking a nap while trying to connect to the printer.

  • Illustrator CS3 hangs when opening document

    Hey
    Since this morning, on one of our Intel iMacs, Illustrator just won't open any documents. The program load screen shows up, completes and gives you the dialogue box about opening recent files or new files etc. But when you try and open anything you simply get the colour "wheel of death" and you have to Force Quit Illustrator.
    I have tried deleting preferences, reinstalling, and running programs like Onyx to clean disks etc, but nothing seems to work. We have also taken the files over to other Macs where they open perfectly fine. It's really just on this one iMac.
    Any ideas would be very very helpful.
    Thanks

    Very strange. I'm looking into it now. It was just a DVD with some of our old backup files. The designer was trying to look at previous work files. It caused the crash on his iMac and on a Macbook Pro that we have extra. I also put the disk into my G5 PPC and I wasn't having any problems, until I tried to open a specific Illustrator file on the disk itself. Must just be a corrupt file of some sorts. But as soon as I remove the disk again, everything runs smoooothly :-)

  • [CS5] Hang when opening a document

    Hello,
    My plug-in copies InDesign documents (aka "templates") inside another one (aka "destination"), after doing some modifications in the "templates". It works on CS4 and CS5, but I have a hang in CS5 during the opening of one of the "templates". I use IDocumentCommands::Open() to open the document.
    The problem exists only in CS5 (haven't tried CS5.5) and not in CS4
    It appears the problem appears only if all my "templates" use different ICC Profiles than my workspace or "destination"'s profiles
    If I don't copy my "templates" in my "destination" but just modify them and close them, the hang doesn't appear neither.
    I tried to modify the ICC Profiles of the "templates" to be the same of the "destination" before modifications and copy (I don't save the "templates"), the problem appears but not at the same opening.
    I puzzled... Have someone encountered a similar problem?

    Hi,
    I am facing a similar problem on the InDesign Server CS5. I am trying to Open a Template as a Copy. Import the XML and Export the output format as PDF. After importing the XML there are commands executed as Fit Optiions for Text and image Frames.
    I am able to execute the whole process properly for 3-4 times. After that InDesign Server just hangs on Open Document. I am using SDKLayoutHelper to open the template file. I even tried using JavaScript to open the document. But am still not able to resolve this hanging of InDesign Server.
    I tried as explained in the thread but I have not used ITextColumnSizer in my code.
    Can anyone please let me know where i should look for.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Regards
    Farzana.

  • Microsoft Word Hangs When Opening Document From SharePoint 2010 Document Library

    I am running into an issue where Word hangs when opening certain files from a document library.  When the issue occurs, Word opens and hangs at the Downloading <Doc URL> stage.  I have tried disabling the SharePoint plugins in IE and that
    makes no difference.  I can download a local copy of the file and open in just fine.  The file in questions exists in a separate document library where it can be opened just fine (The file was copied to the library where the issue is occurring by
    a Workflow).  The issue also has only occurred on .docx files and not .doc, however, not all docx files are having the issue.
    Does anyone have any thoughts on what might be causing this?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that when you opened a certain files from a document library, it hanged at the downloading stage.
    I tried to reproduce the issue, after coping by a workflow, the .docx files opened well in my environment.
    Did the issue occur in other documents libraries? You can copy the files to a new documents library by workflow, then check whether it works.
    For more details we also can check the SharePoint ULS logs.
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\LOGS
    Have you check your IE settings (Tools->options->connections->LAN settings->uncheck Automatically detect settings).
    Please also use fidder tools to detect the process. You can download it by the following link.

  • InDesign CS6 (8.1) hangs when opening documents, intermittent

    InDesign CS6 (8.1) hangs when opening documents, intermittent, and a document that hangs InDesign, after restarting InDesign, will open fine. I found the following track, Re: InDesign CS5.5 Not Responding  for instructions to "force a hang into a crash" and am posting the crash logs to  pastebin.com
    This is the sample process report OPI_Sample9MAY15 - Pastebin.com
    This is the corresponding InDesign Crash log OPI_InDesignCrashLog9MAY15 - Pastebin.com
    I am hoping that someone might be able to read the logs and tell me what is causing InDesign to hang
    For more background information we are using Mac OS X 10.10.3, Within indesign we are using an editorial management software called "NewsEngin GPS" that utilizes Rohohiko's ADIP ToolAssistant plugin and an advertising management plugin "Pagelink" from Mactive/NewsCycle Solutions. These are the only 3 third party vendors that are being used and of course all claim that their products separately are stable under Mac OS 10.10 and InDesign CS6 v8.1.

    Did you try to export the INDD file to IDML, open that and work with the new files?

  • Dreamweaver hangs when opening

    Running DW MX 2004, with updater 7.0.1 applied, on a Sony PC
    with Win XP, DW hangs when opening. I have waited as long as 10
    minutes to see it it every responds, and it doesn't.
    I have to CTRL-ALT-DEL and terminate the application. When
    re-opening, it opens normally.
    Not connected to a network, site files on local C drive.
    It seems to have started happening after applying the 7.0.1
    updater.
    Anyone have any solutions to this?

    Hi JillTW,
    DW 7 had some serious time lags. Search the
    Macromedia.Dreamweaver groups on
    Google's groups for slow DW and look for postings over a year
    old. The fixes
    they discuss may help solve your lockup problem.
    If you are working on a large site, 10 minutes might not be
    enough time for
    DW 7 to resolve cache issues. Look at your Task Manager to
    see if it is
    working (high cpu usage on Dreamweaver.exe) or not
    responding. Even if it is
    not responding a high CPU usuage may mean it is in progress
    and just
    ignoring the keyboard/mouse.
    Also, you might want to try to clear the site cache (or just
    check its
    size - a little one should not take long to process even if
    corupt) before
    starting DW. Adobe tells how to remove the cache here:
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=5989f7f4
    Look for the cache in: C:\Documents and
    Settings\<user>\Application
    Data\Macromedia\Dreamweaver MX 2004\Configuration\SiteCache
    The file is named: {yoursitenamehere}.dws
    I suggest moving it to another folder for safe keeping until
    you know if
    this is the problem.
    Upgrading to DW8 is a major improvement in speed.
    Best of luck,

  • Dreamweaver CS6 hangs when opening file

    Starting recently Dreamweaver CS6 hangs for 30 seconds or more, sometimes saying not responding, when I open an HTML file. It appears to do this when the file contains links to external places. To test I created a file that contained nothing except the "new HTML file" basic headers, saved the file, then opened. This test file did not hang.
    I have tried the registry fix "ResolveRemoteURLToIPAddress FALSE" and deleting the personal configuration directory (with Dreamweaver closed). Neither of these solved the problem. Dreamweaver still hangs when opening a file.
    Any other ideas?
    Barry.

    Once the document opens, check the code for any protocol relative links (links that start with // rather than http://) and change them to http:// links, at least during development. It is a know issue to Adobe and will cause what you describe.
    If you don't have any protocol relative links, links to third party sites can cause issues from time to time if their servers are slow or have any kind of conflict with your network. Unless you absolutely can't, you may want to copy those external scripts to your local site and link to the local versions instead, again, during development.

  • Photoshop (CS3) Hangs When Started

    I just purchased PS CS3 and after spending an entire evening and morning getting to the point where the software asked for my serial number, I still have not gotten anything other than a PS window and an hourglass cursor with the window indicating that Adobe Photoshop CS3 is not responding. I am running Windows XP with all the Windows updates installed. I get the same result with the version right off the DVD or after having dowloaded and installed all the updates to the various components. I did many installs finally using the CS3 cleanup script at level 3 and this allowed me to enter my SN.
    If I look at the application event log in XP I can see the following:
    Hanging application Photoshop.exe, version 10.0.1.0, hang module hungapp, version 0.0.0.0, hang address 0x00000000.
    I looked through the forum and did not see the exact problem in other posts. Is there a switch that can be used with Photoshop.exe to log the application startup?
    Any help would be appreciated. I am starting to think I made a terrible mistake buying this software based on using an older version years ago.
    Thanks,
    John

    I am also trying to install CS3 on my computer and I have the same problem. I am using Windows Vista. After installing, the application hangs also just as described. I have contacted customer service who told me to uninstall and reinstall. I did and it continues to hang when opening. I contacted customer service and they told me to uninstall and reinstall. Did so and it hangs.
    Several customer service of uninstall, download CS3 from website, and still hangs.
    After several days I was referred to technical support, they had me uninstall and reinstall. The application still hangs with technical support on phone. After 2 hours on the phone, we were still creating new users, uninstalling and reinstalling, changing msconfig and still hanging.
    Finally I was told by tech support to uninstall and reinstall again but you guessed it, it was close to closing for tech support and was told I would have to call back.
    Waited until Saturday and you guessed it, tech support is only available Mon thru Friday. I have to work to pay for programs like this and can't take off during the week right now to spend all day with tech support.
    I never saw and answer to the post as to what steps to take to correct it from hanging.
    anyone else have same problem or can resolve it?

    Hello! I have a problem here which I can't solve. I also asked this question here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14365031/jdeveloper-11-1-2-3-hangs-when-opening-project-from-jdeveloper-11-1-1-6/14369211#14369211 . The whole story in short. I have a JavaEE client-server project in JDeveloper 11.1.1.6, where it works like a charm. Recently I had to upgrade JDeveloper version to the latest 11.1.2.3. The first problem was that the standard procedure of migrating project from the older version of JDeveloper to the newer one did not help: IDE was hanging forever all the time with no apparent (for me) reason, log file was silent about that. Then I tried another way: I just created the same project from the beginning and put there all necessary source files, libraries, set project properties etc. Still nothing, but now found the way to obtain a kind of error at least. I ran C:\Oracle\Middleware\jdeveloper\jdev\bin\jdev.exe from the command line and got the following (e.g. when I started running debug):
