InDesign crashes when printing

Using InDesignCS2 4.0 on a MacBookPro OS 10.6.8.
InDesign crashes when I hit "print" on all documents, so it looks like it's not corrupt data in the document. As a workaround, I can export to a pdf and print, but now need to add printer's marks, which can only be done through "print."
I've re-installed the program from the original disk.
Thoughts?
-- Jerry Monaghan

Is this an installation on a computer you've just acquired? Or did it work before on this particular computer?
There is a mismatch between your InDesign version which came out in May 2005, and Mac OS X 10.6, which came out in 2009. InDesign CS2 was designed for a much earlier version of Mac OS X 10.2.8 to 10.3.8. Apple often makes OS changes which makes features in much earlier software versions not work.
You're lucky to have a workaround to be able to print via PDF files.

  • Indesign crashes when printing osx 10.8

    Adobe Indesign crahes when you hit PRINT, reading on the internet, discussions say show hidden files, go to Libriary, Printer and remove certain PPDs, but when I look in Libriary/Printer all that is in there is my Epson printer, any suggestions please

    The PPDs are associated with the printer. I guessing what you read is saying the print drivers are supposedly corrupt somehow. Doesn't make much sense to me if all other applications print okay.
    Do you have a PPD plugin that is Adobe?

  • InDesign crashes, when printing and PDF messes up my Typefaces, why?

    Hi,
    I bought a new Mac pro laptop, Os X Version 10.9.2
    I loaded up my Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium.
    I know it's old, but all worked just fine until I tried to create a pdf from InDesign.
    The typeface, only partly, appears as squares on pdf.
    Looking at a solution online I updated my InDeseign.
    Now I can not print anymore. Program crashes as soon as I hit the Print button.
    Anyone out there able to help?
    Thanks

    Hi
    New to this forum, but I too have had a problem with printing a PDF from InDesing. what I have found is when my dialog box gets to "DOWNLOADING PROCSET" and it just freezes, whats actually happening is the 'SAVE AS' dialogue box has appeared, but is not the active window. When I ALT+TAB through my open applications, in Windows 7 it changes your screen to 'preview' the programs you flick through, and I find it there, attached to outlook, or the internet. Upon further investigation, it appears to attach itself to which ever program I click, after the initial "DOWNLOADING PROCSET" freezing.
    So now when I PDF from InDesign and it freezes at this point, I click the Desktop icon (in windows 7 its the rectangle in the bottom right corner) and it seems to 'place' the 'SAVE AS' dialogue box here, where I can actually select it and click SAVE.
    Hope this helps?

  • Indesign CC 2014 crashes when printing to Fiery server

    This is to remind Adobe that issues printing to Fiery print servers from Indesign CC 2014 (10.0 or 10.1) on Mac have not been resolved.
    A patch has been provided here: InDesign & Illustrator | Crash while printing to Fiery RIP | MacOS   --- however, the problem persists after patching. I should note that the fix at that link only pertains to Indesign 10.0. If you download Indesign 2014 from Creative Cloud you would, at this time, receive 10.1. That script will break 10.1 completely. There is no fix for 10.1.
    The original thread for this discussion is here: Indesign CC 2014 crashes when printing   It's marked 'Answered' and methinks the ongoing conversation there has been over-looked.
    I am bumping this topic to keep the conversation fresh. If anyone else has found solutions to printing to Fiery from Indesign 10.x either by updating Fiery directly or with additional scripts or workarounds, please share them here.
    I could publish one of my 10.1 crash logs if I could be advised which pieces are most important, or how to post the unabridged without spamming the forum.
    That's the constructive bit. Here's my rant...
    After speaking to Adobe on the phone, they tell me this isn't resolved yet because it affects only a small subset of people. I called some peers at other agencies across my region and learned they all use Indesign with Fiery servers. We are not an isolated few! (those fortunate individuals I spoke to are still using CS6 -- and I received some jovial ribbing for having my on-going CC subscription.) I have a lot of printing to do on the Fiery now that these projects are finishing, but i'm held up while down-saving these projects to be used in CC (9.x). Its frustrating, its time-consuming, and its simply unacceptable to CC subscribers as we move in to 2015. I urge Adobe to work with EFI to solve this problem once and for all.

  • HAVING PROBLEMS WITH OS 10.6.8 PRINTING WITH XEROX PHASER.  MacPro crashes when printer warms up. Does anyone have a solution? 6360 DN

    I've been using Macs since 1984.  Have been using Xerox Phaser printers for ten years.  But with the last update to OS 10.6.8 last summer, I've had problems with crashing when printing.  My MacPro crashes when printing via ethernet prot with Xerox Phaser 6360DN or when the printer warms up.  Worked fine with OS 10.6.7.  Internet postings suggest this is a common problem for all Mac users with Xerox Phaser printers.  Apple put out an update to 10.6.8 to address the problem.  I downloaded it but it did not solve the problem.  Have tried all the Xerox drivers along with Apple drivers.  Can't solve the problem.  Xerox says it's an Apple problem.  Does anyone KNOW how to solve the problem?

  • InDesign crashes when syncing book with Hyperlinks in master

    Hi,
    I seem to have an issue with InDesign crashing when trying to sync a Book (INDB file) with page links (Hyperlinks) in the Master.
    Ref. Hyperlink panel > Edit Hyperlink > Link To: Page
    I've narrowed the crashing issue down to InDesign only crashing when the Style Source (containing the master with page links), tries to sync with another doc in the Book that uses the master in the Pages panel. Thus I do not get a crashing error if the doc does not contain the master in the Pages panel.
    For the pages that did not contain the master on the Pages panel I noticed that the Hyperlinks were labelled differently from the Style Source (ex. "hyperlink 1" from the Style Source would be "hyperlink 2" in the first document synced with it (assuming only one hyperlink present).
    If I remove the Hyperlinks (page links) from the master, the error no longer occurs for any of the pages.
    I put the links on the Page as opposed to the Master to test functionality and they work as expected. Although part of the reason for having the Master is these links appear exactly the same across multiple pages in the Book.
    I've tried to export all my pages as IDML files then re-save them as INDD files to no avail. Did the same to all the files as well with "Save As" which didn't do anything either. I then installed the latest patch I could find: Application Version 7.0.4.553 (See all InDesign Patches), which also did not work.
    Not sure if this is a bug or if what I'm trying to accomplish should be done differently.
    The links in the Master need to link to the first page of select docs in the Book. Similar functionality to how a rendered table of contents would behave.
    Ref. Layout > Table of Contents...

    I had the same problem, and it turns out that the problem is having the same file into different folders. For example I had an MP4 in iTunes, and the same file in the photos folder that was being updated to the iPad. So I just removed one file and it syncs perfectly.

  • Indesign crashes when I try and open my document

    I created a file in Indesign which represents many days of work.
    It crashed indesign when I was pdf'ing the document and now it crashes indesign every time I try to open it.
    It is my only version.
    I have tried many ways to open it but nothing has worked - can you help?
    I've just realised that now - Indesign crashes when I try and open any document!
    Thanks very much
    NB Someone suggested I send it to Adobe and they may be able to fix it, but I can't find a contact email to send it to.

    You need to empty the InDesign Recovery folder (which is hidden in your user profile/library). You can find the path to InDesign SavedData in this link: Replace Your Preferences  and the recovery folder should be in the same folder with the InDesign SavedData file.
    Once the recovery folder is empty you should be able to launch ID, then try opening the file. If it wasn't damaged while writing it back to disk it will be fine, in the last previously saved state.

    InDesign crashes when I try to place text from a .txt-file or an Open Office document. I'm using Creative Cloud trial version and Windows 8.1. Crash log states the fault to TEXT.RPLN
    Thanks in advance.

    Does this happen on a all documents, documents already created and also on new documents? If so

  • Internet Explorer 8 crashes when printing webpage to PDF

    Is anyone else experience their browser crashing when printing webpage to PDF?  This only happens in IE8.  This feature works fine in firefox.
    Thanks!

    Thanks - but Firefox is not supported by my employer and we are restricted to use of Internet Explorer.  I appreciate you taking the time to try and help though   Anyone else have any thoughts?  This is so frustrating not to be able to open pdfs online.

  • InDesign crashes when scrolling/editing a corrupted page with a broken link.

    Just sharing a problem I had and how I solved it (with help from adobe tech support-thanks!).
    Indesign CC running on a Mac OSX 10.9.2
    PROBLEM:
    InDesign crashed when ever I reached a certain page in a large document I was working on. On that page was a link to an illustrator file. Somehow this file must have been corrupted, but there was no chance to edit or delete this link/page as the program crashed instantly when ever I tried to manipulated that specific page.
    SOLUTION:
    I opened a new, empty document; opened the broken file and moved all pages to the new document: LAYOUT/PAGES/MOVE PAGES; select Move Pages "ALL"; Move to: "Select the new document"; click OK. I went back to the new file with the moved pages saved it and deleted the corrupted link on that page which I could now edit again. Problem solved!
    Hope this is helpful for anyone who experience the same problem.
