InDesign CS6 not Packaging

Hello,
We are having problems with InDesign on two out of our three mac's at work.
Simply put when we go to Package a document and click 'Package' on the summary page it proceeds to do nothing. It doesn't crash or anything like that but doesn't move on to the next 'Instructions.txt' page like it is supposed to.
I have struggled to find any mention of a similar problem online anywhere.
We have tried quitting out of InDesign and re-opening as well as restarting the machines to no avail.
Does anyone have a solution?
Cheers.

It won't even let me get as far as to choose a location.
Once I have clicked package in the status box (first box after clicking package in drop down menu) it just acts as if nothing has happened. As though I have pressed cancel instead of package...

  • Indesign CS6 not picking up keyboard commands or any type

    I recently downloaded the CS6 creative package.
    I cannot seem to type anything into Indesign documents, or perform any Keyboard Commands.
    I'm on a Mac and have never had this problem before, it seems as if it's just not connecting to my keyboard.

    Thank you
    I rebooted the system in safe and it seems to have fixed itself, the keyboard shortcuts and all type is now working.
    Thanks again!

  • Indesign CS6 not responding

    I have CS6 design standard, indesign stopped responding earlier in the week, I can't remove it from the dock. I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it a number of times but it still won't open. I get messages saying "You can’t open the application “Adobe InDesign CS6” because it is not responding." and "The application “Adobe InDesign CS6” is not open anymore." when I try to open it. All the other applications are working fine. I have it on my laptop and there's no problem with it there. Obviously I'd rather work on my desktop than my laptop! Also I don't want to have to go down the route of downloading and paying for the CC version when I have the software.

    I don't understand what that is. I can give you all the information regarding the computer/software. Why do you need crash logs? The application isn't crashing its not responding at all

  • Indesign CS6 not so kosher

    Hello,
    Please could somebody help - this is driving me nuts.
    I am Running Indesign CS6.0.1 on an Imac (3ghz - 4gb Ram - Intel Core 2 Duo) using Lion 10.7.3.
    I have designed a Catalogue for my company which is 85 pages. This is the first catalogue I have produced on CS6, but have been using Indesign for many many years with no problems.
    The problem I am facing is that when I try to print the Book of the catalogue, it spools the first 40 odd pages with no problem, but then seems to randomly get stuck on subsequent pages. Like I said the page it gets stuck on is random, sometimes page 47, sometimes page 55 etc. I have gone into linked files and edited and fixed anything that I thought might be causing problems, to no avail.
    I tried to convert to PDF, to then print via Acrobat. The same problem arises. Randomly gets stuck on pages.
    I have now tried to split print the catalogue, ie first half, then second half.  The first half (33 pages), has printed with no problem, but the second half is now stuck on page 60.
    In addition to this. on certain occasions, it will just crash. This to seems to be random, as I have been busy with the exct same actions.
    I have deleted preferences & saved data, updated to latest version. I have tried to print on another colleague's Mac Pro (he has 6gb Ram - same OS & indesign version), still with no change in result.
    Other than reisntalling lower verson of Indesign, and coverting all my documents, I am at my wits end on how to solve this problem.
    If anybody could help - I would greatly appreciate it.
    Thanks
    Grant

    Hi Dov,
    Thank you for your quick response - it is greatly appreciated.
    To clarify a little - The problem is occurring when I try to print directly to the Printer from Indesign. But I have been unable to complete the PDF export, as the same problem occurs when exporting, as when printing. I.e. The progress gets stalled on random pages. So I have been unable to try and print form Acrobat, or to even view the PDF document. (incomplete export).
    The Printer we are using is a Canon iR ADV C5051 Laser printer.
    I completely agree with you on need or lack there of, of re-installing.
    I have just tried to split print the Book in 3 sections. To test if there are any problems in any particular parts of the book / documents, and whittle down the problem areas. This has spooled through & printed with no problems.  Unfortunately this is not a practical way forward for me, when it comes time for me to print these catalogues out in bulk. (I print several hundred catalogues).
    Please see below for the Link to the PDF catalogue. Again I have had to export the Book in sections and then combine it in Acrobat.

    Thanks again for your timeous response.

  • InDesign CS6 not tagging interactive PDF

    I don't know if I am doing something wrong but I can't get InDesign to export a properly tagged PDF.
    Can anybody please try the following steps and confirm the results:
    Create a new document in InDesign
    Draw a text box on the document
    Type "Text" in the text box
    Create new paragraph style called "My heading"
    Under Export Tagging in the Paragraph Style Options select "H1" under PDF->Tag
    Add the text box to the Articles panel
    In the Articles panel fly out menu activate Use for Reading Order in Tagged PDF
    Export document as Adobe PDF (Interactive)
    In the Export to Interactive PDF options window both options for Tagged PDF are checked
    Open the document in Acrobat Pro
    Open the Tags navigation pane
    Expand the tag hierarchy
    If the document is tagged correctly one of the tags should be labeled <H1> . Instead min is labeled what I called it within InDesign <My_heading>. This is essentially making larger documents with multiple heading levels inaccessible.
    Can anybody else confirm this issue or provide a fix (other than manually changing tags from within Acrobat Pro)?

    I tested in InDesign CC. (This bug would not be fixed in InDesign CS6.)
    I can confirm that this bug is still in InDesign CC (see illustration below).
    I don't know how to fix this except manually in Acrobat. (I don't normally work with accessibiility issues.)
    I'd suggest reporting the bug here:

  • InDesign does not package fonts used in placed .AI files

    When we package a project for our print vendor, placed .AI files containing fonts do not get collected. I know those fonts are embedded in the .AI file when printing from InDesign, but sometimes our prep vendors need to make last minute edits to these .AI files before they RIP the project. Is there a way to have InDesign collect fonts from .AI files? I know we could use Illustrator .EPS format and uncheck "Embed Fonts", but our vendors prefer .AI files. Any add-on plugins available to solve this problem or other workarounds?

    I suppose you could open each .ai file, go to select> object> text objects, copy, then paste into InDesign, save and package. Then delete the pasted type after packaging. This does not work with Zaph dingbats, symbol, or probably other "ornamental" fonts, which are converted to outline upon pasting.

  • Why is InDesign CS6 not in the list??

    Hello,
    i have bought Indesign CS6 on the adobe.com shop. But the serial number from the mail they send me isn't working.
    When I use the serial number he says: The serial number you entered is valid but there is no qualifying product present on this computer (translated from dutch).
    This is probably because I only can select cs5.5 in the list with products and no cs6. Why cs6 is not in the list? Even after several times  reinstall.
    Help.....

    It sounds like you purchased an upgrade.  You will first want to enter your CS6 serial number.  After which you will then be prompted to enter the serial number for your qualifying product.  At that time you will want to enter the serial number for the software which you are upgrading from.

  • Adobe Indesign CS6 not finding fonts

    Dear Support,
    Adobe Indesign is not detecting the font arial narrow bold, narrow italic, please can you inform what to do.
    I have reinstalled the font in the windows\fonts folder restarted and still experience issues.
    I have reinstalled adobe indesign cs6 and still no luck.
    Please get back to me.
    Kindest Regards.

    Hi Jan Lotz,
    You should keep the font arial narrow bold, narrow italic in the same folder where you keep your indesign file. Then open the indesign file hope it will work.
    Good luck!
    Not true. At the very same place as the InDesign document is saved should be a folder with the name "Document fonts" and in this folder you have to put all fonts.
    You should also take care if the font family include a font with these styles and is compatible to your OS. Best practice is to use OTF fonts.

  • Why is my indesign cs6 not printing black (k100) properly?

    Indesign will not print black at 100% properly, but at 90% down to 1%, prints fine?

    Nothing changed. Thats the first thing I though might be the issue, but wouldn't explain why the black at 99% prints fine and the black at 100% prints a washed out green/black?

  • Indesign CS6 not launching / startup crash

    Since this morning my InDesign CS6 keeps crashing on startup. I'm using Adobe Cloud and all other applications work fine. I'm using the software in german and it's  the first startup process ("Initializing"?) that immediately crashes the program. Everything was working fine last night.
    I tried reinstalling, deactivating plugins and removing certain cache/registry files as explained in previous posts to this matter – without success. Please help ASAP!

    I see a newer post from you in another thread that indicates trashing your prefs solved the problem. Is that correct?

  • Why does InDesign sometimes NOT package fonts?

    Hi. I'm using the latest version of InDesign and lately, when I package files, I've noticed that the 'document fonts' folder is not always created in the finished packaged folder. There seems to be no pattern to when it does or does not include them. For instance, on one job it did include them, then on the same job when the artwork had been updated, it did not. Same typefaces etc. Any ideas?

    Okay. So you do not have the latest version but you do have the most recent patch for CS5. I know there were some issues with Type 1 fonts but I’ve heard nothing about issues with Opentype or TrueType especially on Windows.
    Sorry, but I really don’t what to tell you.

  • InDesign CS6 not linking to source Word document

    When I had Adobe Cs4 when I place a word document in InDesign a link was created to the source documenent. If the word document was changed, when InDesign checked for errors it prompted me to update the link document. Now when I place a word document in CS6 it does not creat a link. If the word document is changed I cannot update the indesign unless I delete everything and place the word document again. Is there a better way?

    Thank you so much. I did just that and it's working just fine.
    The geniuses at Adobe told me that there was no such option.

  • InDesign CS6 not automatically updating links

    In previous verisons of InDesign, if I select a linked file, then click "edit link" from the links panel, the link will open up in Photoshop or Illustrator or whatever program, and once I edit, save, and close the file, when I switch back to InDesign, the file would automatically update. CS6 is not updating. Anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix this issue?

    I tried trashing the preferences a couple times. No luck. Also tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Same problem.
    I haven't tried leaving the file open. What I generally do is:
    1. From ID, click "edit link".
    2. Once the linked file opens, edit as necessary.
    3. Save the file, then close it.
    4. Switch back to ID and it updates automatically.
    I'll see if if works by leaving it open.
    It's not the end of the world if it doesn't work. It's just more annoying than anything else.

  • Why do I get error : InDesign could not package the document ' name of file ' . Cannot copy necessary linked file(s).

    I am create a very basic 36 page magazine. I have never ever encounter this issue in the 10 years I have been creating these. I have been getting this issue ever since the cloud InDesign. It is making it very difficult to get my work to press. I have no errors! All items are linked. I've gone through and relinked. I've removed items. I feel like I've tried many things. Anyone have any ideas???

    Thank you so much!!! I just did a test run with an old file and changed all of the file names that had symbols and it worked!! It packaged for me without errors. So great!!!!

  • Indesign cs6 not responding on Mac

    I am trying to open indesign on iMac sox lion but the program does not get passed the startup part then says not responding. I am using all the other applications from creative web premium and they are working fine.
    Any advice?

    Did you migrate the applications from one computer to another? Migration doesn't work with InDesign. It needs to be reinstalled from the original media or backup.
