Application error - Indesign.exe

Hi,
I am work with CS3 Design Premium Suite. I am getting desperate. I can start every program in CS3 Suite without problems but when it comes to Indesign, this error message will come up:
DDE Server Windows: Indesign.exe - Application error
The instruction at "0x0ab32a27" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be read.
With I click I have to terminate. I have removed and reinstalled the entire Suite. I did not solve the issue. The Suite was activated in May and Indesign worked perfectly until 4 hours ago... now the program became unusable! Do I have to reformat my hard disk?

InDesign CS5 DDE Error when exiting

One of my users gets a DDE error when she exits out of InDesign.
"DDE Server Window: InDesign.exe - Application Error
The Intruction at '0x##############' referenced memory at '0x##############'. The memory could not be 'read'.
Click on OK to terminate the program"
She is using InDesign CS5 with the latest update applied. I believe it was 7.04. She is also using XP sp 3. I've tried resetting her preferences, as I noticed was recommended, by pressing ctrl + shift +alt on boot and rename the file name from the user folder. Neither fixed the issue. If I start a new file it doesn't have this error on closing, but it happens when loading up an old file and closing out.
Thanks

That sort of worked. When I ran the initial export of the file and closed
there was no error. If I opened the newly created idml file and closed it
would throw the same error. I decided to look into a theory I had about
saving. I loaded the original file that was giving me trouble. I made a
small change, saved the file, and closed. The error did not come. I opened
the file again and closed. The error was produced. It seems it happens
when you load an existing file and don't save/export your work.

Font Capture application error

I've just bought Adobe CS5 Design Standard, and while Photoshop and Ilustrator have installed perfectly, I get the following error when I try to open InDesign: Font Capture: InDesign.exe - Application Error.
I'm unable to uninstall and reinstall Indesign only, as it seems the entire Creative Suite is a single file in my file manager. Does anyone have advice for me?

Hi Peter
Many thanks for your response. I ended up on the phone to Adobe tech
support, and eventually (hours later) it seemed that all the InDesign
plugins on the disk I bought were faulty, so new plugins were downloaded to
replace the old ones, and now my InDesign is working.
I'm not sure if this is something that might affect all CS5 InDesign users
though.
Thanks again for your willingness to provide assistance, but the good news
is that the problem has been sorted out.

InDesign CS3 Packaging a .Indd file

Hello All,
We have added a menu in Indesign CS3 application with menu name Package.
On clicking this menu it opens a folder selection to accept a location where a package should be created.This should generate a Folder containing the Document.indd, a Text File , Fonts Folder , Images etc .
Is there a way to do the Package Action programmaticaly using the API?
Are there samples available for achieving this?
Please Guide me.
Waiting for Reply.
Thanks in advance.
Kartik

What you said is the function of the menu [file]->[package].
InDesign has implemented it,hasn't it?

Error Installing InDesign CS3 Server on Windows Server 2008 R2 64BIT

Hello there-
I'm trying to install InDesign CS3 Server on Windows Server 2008 R2 64BIT (x64) Edition, however, we get a failure indication on the installer. Before, we have installed it properly on Windows Server 2008 R2 32BIT (x32) but some how we cannot proceed on a x64 box.
Is there any limitation on this sense? Any documentation about it?
Thanks and appreciate your answers.

App Error msvcr80.dll Adobe InDesign CS3,4,5

We produce a a third party plug-in for use in InDesign CS3,4, and 5. The plug-in works fine for several thousand people, but there are a small number that continually get the following Event ID 1000 error whenever they try to launch our plug-in: "Faulting application indesign.exe, version <version number>, faulting module msvcr80.dll." The Event ID generates after CS3,4 or 5 crashes. These machines are typically windows XP SP3 on recent hardware running Intel processors and 2 gig of RAM.
A complete reinstall from the Adobe hard media and re-install of our plug-in may work for a while, but then the issue will begin to appear again after several days or weeks. The error doesn't always occur if different people use the same workstation, but at some point it will eventually begin to happen to each user.
I am not looking to point any fingers but am trying to figure out what to fix or where to go next. The plugin may be a trigger for this crash, but we don't believe it's the plug-in that is the problem. Too many are using it without ever getting an error.
Has anyone else experienced anything similar? Is it possible it's an issue with user profiles? Antivirus? etc.?

InDesign CS3 - MathType 6 Postscript error

We have using MathType 6.0 eps file to build the math in Indesign CS3 and this particular project has fully Math. Client required the Math using MT 6.0 only. I'm unable to create a PDF through postscript from Indesign CS3, whereas I would have placed the same eps file (MT 6.0) into Indesign CS2 and we should be able to create PDF through postscript. Our workflow is to create PS to PDF not to export PDF from Indesign CS2/CS3. I have attached the eps file (MT 6.0) for your reference. Kindly look at the error below Mr. Indrajith had earlier, while creating PS to PDF.

Seems to me you have two choices:
1) You can give client required Mathtype EPS files without PDF.
2) Or you can educate client. Mathtype EPS files don't always work. Illustrator AI files do.
You don't have to leave out the EPS files. You can still deliver EPS to client, in fact you'll want to save EPS (or WMF) as a source file from which to make changes. Just make the AI file for ID.
FWIW, I've been using various versions of Mathtype with different DTP applications (not just Indesign) since 1997. None of the versions I've used (I haven't tested 6.5 yet) has been 100% suitable for high-end desktop publishing. Despite that, I've always managed to make it work, and I've typeset dozens of equations books--some with literally thousands of equations in them--using Mathtype.
Sometimes the client really is wrong.

InDesign CS3 hangs with colored spinball after start application

We have inhouse a big problem:
in different times hangs indesign CS3 with the color spinball. After the interruption of the application and restart we can see follow: when the app is up and we think, yes! we can work the spinball comes back and we can wait...if we wait to work after the restart 1-2 minutes the spinball comes for 20-30 seconds and then we can work without problems. As far as the next time (normally within 1 week...).
We have checked the switch, the cables. We have this problem also without network connection. And it reproducible on mac 10.4.x, 10.5.x, Windows XP and Vista. With versions 5.03 and 5.04.
What is this for a problem?
We have deleted all preferences and moved the plugins outside (we have 3 plugins: Softcare K4, Linotype Fontexplorer and Typefy): This problem is always here.
We are helpless. Can you us?
Thanks for a solution!

InDesign CS3 crashes without error when opening any 2nd InDesign file

Issue: InDesign CS3 crashes without error and remains resident in memory if we have an InDesign file open and attempt to open a second InDesign file.
OS: Win XP SP2
InDesign Version: 5.0.2
Hardware: Dell Precision WorkStation T3400, 4 gigabytes of memory, Intel Core2 Quad processor Q6600
Details: No messages in the event viewer about the problem. We renamed the InDesign Defaults and the InDesign Saved Data file. We removed Creative Suite, restarted and then reinstalled Creative Suite (I could not remove and reinstall InDesign individually). We have created a new Windows profile for this user. I have one computer having the trouble. Other InDesign installations are working fine. This computer has 559 files in C:\windows\fonts. Other people that are not having the problem have a larger number of fonts installed.
The issue is not file specific. We are not running out of memory as I checked the task manager after the first InDesign document is open.
Why is opening a second document different than opening the first document?

Hello Peter and Josh,
I'd just like to assert that I am having the exact same problem as Josh. I've spent the time to go through the steps listed above and have found the same results.
The issue as we see it multiple times daily is as follows:
(1) User opens File1 (everything works fine)
(2) User goes to open File2 (via explorer or via file->open) or print File1
(3) The User Interface for ID disappears (InDesign.exe still appears in Task Manager and is NOT listed as "Not Responding", ID does not appear in the Task Bar)
(4) The only way to continue work is to End Task/End Process InDesign.exe and relaunch.
No error messages appear, no error logs are created(that I can find). Non-related concerns caused us to upgrade this users PC. With a completely new install we are still having the problems. The systems are listed as follows:
OS: Win XP SP2 (fully updated minus SP3)
InDesign Version: 5.0.2
Newest Hardware: Custom Built Computer, 4GB RAM installed (3.24 recognized by windows), Intel Core2 Quad processor Q6600 @ 2.4Ghz
OS: Win XP SP2 (fully updated minus SP3)
InDesign Version: 5.0.2
Older Hardware: Custom Built Computer, Intel D945GTP Motherboard, 2GB RAM installed, Intel Pentium D processor @ 2.8Ghz
Troubleshooting:
(1) Alt+Space and M then using arrow keys moves every other window the user had opened other than In-Design. The user has two monitors. (a) 1280x1024 and (b) 1200x1600 (yes she uses the monitor rotated 90 degrees
(2) Log files - Non exist in the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS3 folder. I've also done a search across the entire hard drive for any "*.log" files, none of which were adobe related.
(3) Default Printer - Changing the default printer to Adobe PDF is not really an option. I was able to convince the user to temporarily switch to a different networked printer and await the results (most likely today or tomorrow it should recreate)
(4) /3GB switch - Getting that last 700 something MB of memory isn't an issue. I've run MemTest.exe on all the available system memory overnight in a "burn in" test. The system ran fine the sticks were nice and warm when I got in from all the hard work :)
(5) Order of Opening - The problem repeates regardless of order. The trick seems to be opening File2 or printing File1 (I had the user only work on one file at a time (required her to close any open files before opening the next, that wasn't fun for my user but the system didn't crash on opening in this scenario, just on printing. Obviously not a permanent work around)
Any help here would be much appreciated as this has been plaguing us for months now.

Error message when opening Indesign CS3

After using Indesign CS3 without trouble for several years, today I reloaded it onto a new PC (generally identical to the old; a little more powerful) but when starting it up, keep getting the message 'Error 45. Error String - Object invalid'. Reference is made to line 387 and then line 345. When a new document is opened, the programme just hangs. I have never experienced anything like this before.
I have removed the programme from the system (Win 7) and reinstalled it but the error continues.
Any ideas?

My recollection is this is a Suitcase error. There was a thread about it here a few months ago, I believe, and I think an update to Suitcase fixed it.

Error message when installing Indesign CS3 trial. I need help ASAP

I have searched the forums and adobe.com and have tried everything that I saw. None of it worked for me. I have tried and tried to install Indesign CS3 trial. I keep getting the error message: Indesign has encountered a problem and must close.
I have windows XP and plenty of RAM. What can the problem be? I have done everything I can think of to do. I added more memory and did everything the forums said to try. I really need this for my class. I am getting behind. I cannot afford to buy the program. Please help!!!!!
Thank you,
Teddy

If you scroll down you'll see there's Windows info there, too. Aside from being sure the fonts are activated, you might try renaming the Sing folder, which should be in Program Files\Common\Adobe.
You could also try Help > Configure Plugins and disable the Sing.apln, but I don't know how you can get there if the program won't start. Maybe going to the Adobe InDesign CS3\Plug-Ins\Text folder and changing the name from SING.apln to SING.bak would do the trick.
If it's really the SING problem, that ought to fix it, but you won't be able to work with Oriental languages.

Indesign CS3 error on start up

Indesign CS3 on startup up reports a Java Script error- number 45 line 387. Had previously been working fine. Also works ok in other user accounts on my mac. I have tried trashing preferences, renaming recovery data, using clean up tool and then re-installing whole CS3, but the still still remains. Any advice/ help?

Hm, your "Date Modified" entries suggest you did a clean install of CS3 yesterday…
Sorry, cannot help any further…
Do you have issues other than the error message?
Maybe menu entries missing in the area "XML…", "XHTLM/Dreamweaver…" or "XHTL/Digital Editions"…?
These are the ones that are Flash-based and are loaded as Startup Scripts.

InDesign CS3 Feathering/Text Error

I am experiencing a strange error when I feather a photo placed in my InDesign CS3 file.
If I feather it in Photoshop and keep a transparent background (PSD or EPS) and don't flatten the image, or if I feather the image directly in Indesign CS3 using the object effects, it causes the font to appear differently (almost thinner).
As soon as I delete the image or flatten the transparency in Photoshop, the font goes back to normal.
Is there a way around this? I'd ultimately like to use the feathering effect directly in InDesign.
I'd appreciate any advice.
Thanks!

The use of transparency affects the screen draw in ID, though I've never seen type get thinner, only heavier. This is a known issue, and there is currently nothing you can do to change it. You may continue to see the difference on-screen or in print on a desktop device, but it generally doesn't make it into print on a press.
