How can I find an ID file that contains a text...?

I've been working with InDesign for a long time. So, I have a lot of .indd files, from version 1 up to CS3.
I need to find a file(s) that contains a specific text. E.g. the name of a person, that I'm sure is somewhere in my thousands of ID files.
It's impossible to open all the files until I locate that text.
In Windows Explorer, there's a way to search a word or phrase in a file, but it only returns doc, txt, rft, and other text files, even pdf. But not indd.
Can somebody help me, please?
Thanks,
Hirao

Have you tried changing the extension on your .indd files to .txt? It's
a binary format, but there's a lot of plain text in there. The name
you're looking for, or part of it, is probably in there somewhere.
Search for the shortest possible text string. Some words are not continuous.

How can I edit an InDesign file that contains right-to-left text (arabic, hebrew...) with InDesign CC?

With previous CS versions, there was a special ME (middle east) version of InDesign that had all the necessary right-to-left functions. Is there a CC ME version, or is there another solution?

So this comes at no extra cost to the CC subscription?
Yes
And can it open older files that were created with Indesign CS5 ME for example?
Yes
Add to that you can also download and install indesign cs6 version

Hello! I have one iTunes library on my iPod and one iTunes library on my computer. When I connect my iPod touch to my PC, however, I cannot find any files in my iPod except for pictures. How can I find the music files so I can add them to my iTunes?

You can't do that.
And before you decide to store any music that you own on a computer at work, talk to your IT department. Many organizations do not permit it for legal reasons. Standard policies are that anything stored on company owned computers is the property of the company. It could not be legally stored on their machines unless you transfer the licenses and all copies, physical and digital, to the company, meaning you no longer own the music. If they were to be audited and could not prove that they own the music, they would be subject to copyright violation penalties. Just use your iPod when you're at the office if you want to listen to music.

How can i find out the file size of a Keynote on an iPad please?

How can i find out the file size of a Keynote on an iPad please?

I think a rule of thumb is what you're looking for.
Full bandwidth CD audio (AIFF): about 10 MB/min
Apple Lossless: about 5 MB/min
MP3 @ 256k: about 2 MB/min
MP3 @ 128k: about 1 MB/min
Of course the MP3 file size is exactly linear with bit rate.
As for sound quality:
Apple Lossless is, as the name says, lossless.
MP3 @128k: fine for listening in the car or the kitchen etc. If you have an audiophile sound system, this will remind you why you spent all that money.
MP3 @256K: barely distinguishable from CD on very good equipment.
MP3 @320K: probably not distinguishable from CD.
I presume that since you're talking about importing classical CDs these are ones you own. Remember you can always do it again if you need higher fidelity or if better technology comes out. I import most CDs at 128k, since most of my MP3 listening is in the car, or walking, or as background. And I can always play the CD if I want to sit and listen.
The logic for purchased music is totally different -- you probably won't get to upgrade that without buying it some different way. So buying 128k MP3s (or AACs) is something you'll probably regret later. Buying 256k MP3s is a lot less problematic.

In Blurb trying to upload an album that I have prepared in Adobe, but I can't find any Adobe files that way.

I am in Blurb, trying to upload an album that I have prepared in Adobe ELements 10. To upload I need to navigate in my computer to whatever Adobe folder has the album, but I can't find any Adobe files that way. So I wanted to save the album to
an external drive where I could be sure to find them for the upload
But when I tried to copy the photo album, the dialog box said that the photos will be deleted from the main program. I didn't like the sound of that, so I chose "Backup" which seems to have copied everything from Adobe to my eternal drive, not just the photo album that I want. To make matters worse, but exported folder named for my photo album is not the group of photos that I assembled in Adobe.
How do I upload directly from Adobe the program on my hard drive so I can be sure it is the correct assemblage of photos?

The album photos are just the originals; there are no special copies in the album--it's just a list. Select the photos in the album, then go to File>Export as New Files and send the new copies where you want them.

How can I make an ant file that launches an AS project app in a debug flash player that traces to the flex console?

How can I make an ant file that launches an AS project app in a debug flash player that traces to the flex console?
Basically I like the control over the compiling process that I get by using Ant - but I really want traces to come up immediately without having to switch contexts.
I have an ant file that successfully launches a swf in the flashplayer - but I don't know how to make the flex console start displaying the trace output. I assume that I will have to point it to the appropriate trace output file - but I am not sure how to have ant even address the console. Is this possible?
Here is the the target node from my ANT file:
    <target name="launch">
        <exec executable="${FLASHPLAYER_EXE}" errorproperty="trace.output">
            <arg line="'${DEPLOY_DIR}\test.swf'" />
        </exec>
    </target>
Thanks for any thoughts, or alternatives!

For the record, I ended up using Logwatcher - it worked perfectly.

How can I convert a pdf file that's larger than 100MB to word

I have just paid $20 to Adobe to get this facility but It won't work ,

I actually believe that I have paid twice for adobe but I'll take this up with them,
in the meantilme,
do you have any suggestions, I really need this material in word urgently,

If your files are this large, ExportPDF is the wrong tool for you. You need Adobe Acrobat, which runs locally and does not need to send your files to Adobe.

How can I open and edit files that were developed and published via ftp to my host on my old macbook, which I can no longer access. The HD containing the files cannot be accessed. I want to be able to download the published files to be edited in iweb?

You CAN'T download published files and then edit them in iWeb because iWeb can't open them - it has no import facility so is unable to open any html or css files - a previously published site.
You can download these files yes, but you'll need to use them as a guide or to cut and paste text from there whilst you re-build your site in iWeb.
The only other way is to download the files and then open them with an html editor such as TextWrangler or use one of the other web design programmes out there that is capable of importing html and css such as Dreamweaver of Flux 4.
These are your only alternatives as iWeb can't import and if you want to continue to use iWeb, then you'll have to re-build your site from scratch. If you do just remember to back up your domain.sites file this time around - it is found under your User/Library/Applicaion Support/iWeb/domain.sites.

- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

How can I reduce an Adobe file that I load fro a CD

How can I reduce an Adobe file that I load fro a CD.
It is 10mb and is text only.
I need to send it in an email and would like to reduce it to 3 mb
Any help is appreciated,
Greg

OK. A couple of things. You don't really have a text file. It's a scan, so it's actually a photo of letters that isn't searchable or stored as text. I'm sure that if it was really text it could be measured in tiny KB (not MB), like a long email. If you want to convert it to real text, use some software that runs Optical Character Recognition (OCR) on it. That would result in an extremely small file for truly searchable text.
OCR software comes with many scanners but usually not with the cheapest scanners. Some shareware can do it. Acrobat can do it (the paid version not the free version).

That may seem bizarre but it is normal. A file must be re-encoded for network compatibility during e-mail transmission, and that causes some types of files to bloat back up. If you can, OCR it so that you are no longer trying to send a bloated scanned photo of words and letters. If you continue to try to send it as a scan, it will remain hundreds of times larger than it needs to be. If you don't have a way of running OCR on it, at least Malcolm's suggestions above will help bring it down, maybe enough to send. But the form it is in right now is a tremendous waste of disk space.

How can I find a data base table containing a GUID, which is result of the macro's execution?

Hello,
please help me to understand how the macros work. I am facing database inconsistency. The CRM-system retrieves a GUID of an opportunity’s item and checks its existence. However, this GUID (here it is es_info-ref_object) does not exist. As result, an exception is triggered.
I am trying to figure out which data base table is responsible for the inconsistent data. Instead of SELECT statement, I see in the debugger that a macro retrieves the “guilty” entry .
macro_execute macro_msg_data_read_rea.
My Question: How can I find a data base table containing a GUID, which is result of the macro’s execution?
Thanks a lot

When you save a PDF out of Distiller it doesn't just have different options, it's an entirely different program. It doesn't do things the same way, so it can't have the same options. Saving from Distiller is in many ways better, expecially in that transparency isn't flattened.
What specific options are you looking for?
