Print problem with InDesign CS5 and Power RIP-X

When I try to print an InDesign page using PowerRIP I get a big X across the page that is not in the document. Any ideas as to why and how I can fix this?

The demo version PowerRIP adds the X watermark.

  • Anyone having printer problems with adobe cs5 and mountain lion

    I can print one copy in adobe cs5 but if I hit the print button it shuts down the program.  Anyone having this problem besides me?

    Are the drivers for your printer are up to date? You probably can print one copy cause it doesn't access the option window in your application.

  • Printing problems with InDesign CS3 running on OS 10.6

    I recently upgrade my old G4 Mac (OS 10.4) to a new Mac Mini running OS 10.6.6. I am still running CS3 and have encountered only one problem. When I print multiple copies documents from InDesign that contain several layers, each copy is processed separately, so that it can take several minutes just to send the print job to the printer if I'm printing over 20 copies. Then once the print job is processed the printer pauses between every copy, which is tripling the printing time. If I print a simpler document with only one or two layers it processes all the copies at once, as it should. I am printing on an Okidata 6150 color laser printer.
    I never had this problem on my old computer. I'm wondering if this is one of the "unsupported" bugs of running CS3 on Snow Leopard. I want to make sure that this is a problem unique to running CS3 with Snow Leopard before I go ahead and upgrade to CS4 or CS5.
    computer: Mac Mini core 2 duo 2.4 ghz processors, 4 gb RAM, printer: Okidata 6150 DN color laser printer.

    Hi again Peter
    It is version 5.0.4.  I updated it when I newly installed it a week ago in my new computer, and then again updated it just yesterday.
    I might mention that before I got my new computer, I was running Mac OS 4.11, and was using InDesign 3.0.  I had bought InDesign CS3 about a year ago, but hadn't gotten around to using it since version 3.0 had been working fine, and I was used to it.  Then, when I got my new computer, I decided it was time to use the newer version.  However, while using InDesign 3.0 with the old Mac OS 4.11, a printing problem popped up there, too, a few months ago... and it also involved printing problems with Adobe Reader.  I contacted Adobe, and they sent me a patch which fixed it.  I will contact Adobe again if need be, although I thought I'd start here first to see if it was a common enough problem that someone might be able to provide a free and routine answer.

    I neglected to ask what version of indesign CS3 you are using. I also 
    notice that Mac OSX 10.6.4 has just been released. It actually 
    addresses some CS3-specific issues, though they seem to be related to 
    launching the apps, not printing. It may be worth trying to update, 
    nonetheless.

  • Create unlimited folios today with InDesign CS5 and 5.5!

    Adobe's official statement
    http://blogs.adobe.com/digitalpublishing/2011/10/create-unlimited-folios-today-with-indesi gn-cs5-5.html
    Did you know…
    Customers with InDesign CS5 and CS5.5 can now create an unlimited number of .folio files for no additional charge.
    You already know that InDesign CS5 and CS5.5 integrate with Adobe Digital Publishing Suite to allow customers to publish apps to tablet devices such as the iPad, Xoom and PlayBook. But for InDesign CS5 and CS5.5 customers who are interested in creating content for tablet devices but are not yet customers, it is now easier than ever to try digital publishing before making the financial investment in the Digital Publishing Suite solution that meets your needs.
    InDesign CS5 and CS5.5 customers can now:
    Create an unlimited number of .folio files in InDesign
    Preview them on Adobe Content Viewer  – including interactivity – to see how they will render when published to a tablet device
    Share them with colleagues or clients on a 1:1 basis via the Adobe Content Viewer
    Further, customers can now access the Folio Producer Service in the Digital Publishing Suite with a valid Adobe ID to manage and edit their .folio files. All of this can be done before purchasing Digital Publishing Suite.
    If you are interested in learning how to create an App directly from InDesign CS5 or CS5.5, without writing code or depending on a developer, feel free to try it. You can pitch ideas to your client or your boss; or you can build a portfolio of your work and preview it on a tablet device. Practice makes perfect, and with an unlimited number of .folios, you can practice as much as you want! When you’re ready to publish to an app store, you can select the Digital Publishing Suite solution that is right for you.

    I'm sorry EvBurk, what you want is intended not to work.
    All Adobe's promotional material concerning InDesign and Digital Publishing (including the above "official statement") carefully uses verbs like "create" or "produce". But they never mention "distribute" or "spread", without explicitly referring to their exclusive hosting services. The whole Folio thing (in contrast to the former "issue" format) revolves around not giving you any chance of physically exporting, managing or owing the folio file itself. It's always somewhere on Adobe's or Apple's servers, or on your iPad, which is also as shut as a vault. So there's no way to export a folio file and toss it around like a pdf or jpeg. All you can do (without a paid distribution) is "share" your folio with some others, under the idea of "testing" and "reviewing". But this can be a cumbersome method. And even when paid (for the app), it's still difficult to distribute it outside Apple's or Android's market.
    More than a year ago (in the middle of the Flash-on-iOS debate) Adobe users, developers, bloggers, and evangelists heavily criticized Apple's "walled garden". Adobe literally stated "We Love Apple - What we don't love is anybody taking away your freedom to choose what you create, how you create it, and what you experience on the web." Well, you could say now: "I love Adobe, but what I don't love is Adobe taking away my freedom to own my files, and distribute them on my own terms." They let us create, but not spread our ideas. It's like giving you a typewriter and copier, that only works with Adobe stock paper. Like giving you a voice and an instrument, but only allowing you to sing and play in some walled gardens (dress code: Apple ID) or secluded shed (invitation only).
    I really wonder why they so fiercely protect 'their' Folio file. Why do they either have to be "under protection" or be turned into apps? I understand why Apple wants and needs to curate apps, but they don't mind me spreading my own ePubs, mp3 or jpegs. Why doesn't Adobe let me put my folio's on my own server, or send them off to someone with my own preferred service? The Content Viewer could easily be an Acrobat-like reader and let the iPad open folio's (by web links or mail enclosures) into it. If I see how many questions, worries, and problems creators and users have due to this whole closed technique and business, it would be easier to just let go and see what happens. Is it money? Of course it is. But my guess is that Adobe would eventually benefit more from it.
    So I hope Adobe declares the Folio as an "open" standard soon, but they're definitely not in that stage. Maybe the specification of the file format just isn't ready yet. Maybe some managers need to remember again how to "Spread the Love"...

    I have a problem with indesign cs6 and my epson 3880 on mac.  I need an older version of indesign but do not have a serial number....any suggestions?

    I see then I believe Kglad's advice is on track with starting with updating your printer drivers.  I have also moved this discussion over to the InDesign forum as the Users in this forum likely have additional suggestions.
    Also if you can please turn off your e-mail signature if you want to respond via e-mail.  Your responses are going to a public forum where the information is accessible by anyone.  I have edited your previous response to remove the signature.

  • Line thickness problem in indesign CS5 and CS6

    I use indesign CS5 and many short lines of 0.5 point in my project.
    After export to pdf (press) everything seems correct. After rip process from printer office in compressed file lines seems to have different thickness even on large zoom (400%).
    High quality pdf from rip prepared by printer office still shows small differences in thickness. Lines are in one solid color in my project.
    What is the source of this problem? 0.5 point ines seems not extremely thin.
    If the line is not sharp in pdf will it be not sharp in press?

    I wouldn't go off what I see on screen. I'd be asking the printer for a hi-res proof. If that's not satisfactory they could run a test on offcuts on another print job to see where the problem lies.
    One reason for different linethickness could be that the lines are interacting with transparent areas, giving the appearance of thicker, or could be physically changing the width by a few decimals.
    I'd try putting any of the thin lines on their own layer - and perhaps try different PDF compatibilities, from PDF 1.3 to PDF 1.4 etc.

  • Printing problems with Indesign and pdf

    The fonts won't print after the InDesign doc has been turned into a pdf. It will print on some printers but not the large volume in our print room.

    You need to provide an awful lot more information that what you have provided to us in order for us to assist you.
    What version of InDesign? What OS? What PDF presets? What printer (brand and model) is it failing on? It the printer a direct PDF printer or are you printing to PostScript via Acrobat or even something else? What fonts won't print? Error messages? An example?

  • How do I create the highest quality pdfs with InDesign CS5 and Acrobat Pro 9?  New settings needed?

    I sent a lot of jobs to printing companies by sending them high-res proofs on very large, multiple page jobs with lots of photos and graphics.  Many companies are requesting that I just send pdfs.  I just upgraded to Windows 7 and CS5.  I used to have some special settings in my older Acrobat Distiller  and InDesign which have been lost.  They gave a much better result that what I seem to be getting from the "Press Quality" setting for pdf's.  Does anyone have an excellent list of settings that can used to improve the quality of pdf's?  I don't know if this is a combination of settings in both InDesign itself, as well as in Acrobat Distiller, or if the settings in one program will solve this.  I have a job pending that needs improvement in the pdf quality.  Thank you.

    Thanks Peter.  My last post was specific to using the Print Booklet feature (which is now solved thanks to your help).  But this is related to creating high-res pdfs in general that go to printing companies, and being used for sending high-res proofs to clients.  In general I don't need to set up printer spreads for my jobs (just for the one I asked about in my other post), but I used to have some specific settings that a printing company supplied me with to give the highest res pdf output possible.  Those settings did in fact give a better result than the Press Quality settings built into my Adobe programs.  I have had printers over the years request that I create a postscript file, then use distiller (using the settings they supplied) and I got an excellent result.  After getting a new computer, Windows 7 and new CS5 and Acrobat Pro 9 upgrade, all of these settings were lost.  I have notes on the settings from a couple of years ago, but they don't seem to apply to the CS5 programs in every given area and I feel like there may be just a couple of boxes that either should or shouldn't be checked that I'm missing now.
    I understand that this is very specific information, and I may just need to go with the Press Quality settings. The printing company that gave me that great info a while back is no longer in business and other printing companies I have checked with won't spend that kind of time with me (or maybe they don't know anything other than using the Print Quality setting).   Maybe within the CS5 program now, the quality of this setting has been improved more than I realize yet.  Again, I'm new to CS5 and am just trying to get everything back to the way I used to have things running, and trying to get the best results possible.
    Thanks again!

  • Anyone having issues with InDesign (CS5) and Suitcase Fusion 3 (Mac)?

    I've run into a problem that I think might be caused by Suitcase Fusion 3 [Version 14.2.0 (319)], but I'm wondering if anyone here is having any issues with InDesign and Suitcase Fusion like I am?
    Just about every time I launch an InDesign document or an Illustrator document (don't seem to have the issue in Photoshop, strangely enough) it pretty much crashes to the point where it's a force quit. Before anyone asks the question, this is what I've done - I've reformatted my hard disk (even writing 0s!), done a clean install of Lion (10.7.3), clean install of Creative Suite 5 (and updates), clean install of Suitcase (and updates)...you get the idea. I'm still ending up with crashing just about every time I open a document in these two apps.
    As an experiment I downloaded a (fully functioning) trial version of FontAgent Pro (which I didn't like, btw) and didn't encounter any crashing at all in either application.
    I've opened a ticket with Adobe to see if they have any details as to whether this is a known conflict or whatever (though I don't hold much hope for getting help from them since it's looking more like a Suitcase issue than a Creative Suite one).
    Does anybody have any suggestions as to what I can do to try and resolve this?
    I'm in the middle of producing two magazines and I really really don't need this! Lol

    From the lovely people at Extensis tech support -
    Thanks for the info. As you said, if this is happening when you have only manually activated fonts, then the auto-activation isn't coming into play which does lead me to think it is related to the plug-in generally and maybe the sleep issue, which you say you definitely have. So I've added you to the sleep issue tracking.
    If you find yourself coming back from putting the computer to sleep and the apps with Suitcase plugins have hung, do this:
    1)      Go to your spotlight and type in "activity"
    2)      Launch "Activity Monitor"
    3)      Highlight the name of the adobe/quark application that is hanging by clicking it.
    4)      Click the "Sample Process" button at the top of the screen.
    5)      Click the "Save" button.
    6)      Click the "Save" button again and save the file to your desktop.
    7)      This will generate a file such as " Sample of Adobe Illustrator CS5.txt"
    8)      Repeat this process with any other application that is hanging.
    9)      Highlight the "FMCore" process by clicking it.
    10)  Click the "Sample Process" button at the top of the screen.
    11)  Click the "Save" button.
    12)  Click the "Save" button again and save the file to your desktop.
    13)  This will generate a file named " Sample of FMCore.txt"
    14)  Place these files along with the ".Plugins.txt" files created earlier into a new folder called "Plugins"
    15)  Right click (control+click) to compress into a .zip file.  
    Please attach this zip in reply to this mail.
    When we are sure of a fix, we'll get back to you. In the meantime here are some workarounds:
    Option 1:
    1)      Back up your font sets by dragging them to the desktop
    2)      Remove SF3 v14.2 by following the instructions here: 
    http://www.extensis.com/en/support/kb_article.jsp?articleNumber=4020
    3)      Download and re-install Suitcase Fusion 3 (version 14.0.6) from: 
    http://dl.extensis.com/downloads/ST/EN/M/SuitcaseFusion3-M-1406-EN.zip
    4)      Are there fonts and font sets in your old font vault you would like to recover?
    If NO :
    a)      Open SF3
    b)      Simply drag and drop your original fonts into the SF3 "Font Library". This will copy the fonts into a new font vault.
    If YES : Restore your old fontvault from the backup the removal tool created
    a)      If you choose "Y" to KEEP your font vault earlier when you ran the removal script, on your desktop you will find a folder called "Extensis-Backup-today's date" that contains a backup of your previous suitcase fusion 3 fontvault.
    b)      Move your old font vault from the "Extensis-Backup-today's date" folder on your desktop into this folder: 
    /Users/[your username]/Library/Extensis/Suitcase Fusion/Suitcase Fusion.fontvault
    c)       Launch SF3 from your dock. you should now see all your old fonts and font sets.
    Option 2:
    Remove our auto-activation plugins and activate your fonts manually in SF3 and/or add your adobe/quark apps to the SF3 > Preferences > General > Global Auto-Activation Options list. here's how:
    1)      In SF3: choose Suitcase Fusion 3 > Manage Plugins
    2)      Uncheck the boxes for adobe/quark apps; this will remove our auto-activation plugins
    3)      Choose SF3 > Preferences > General
    4)      Under "Global Auto-Activation Options", press the "+" button to add your adobe/quark apps
    Please note that "global auto-activation" is less accurate than our plugin-based auto-activation. Double check your font usage in your design app to confirm the correct font was loaded after opening a document.

  • New printing problem with InDesign CS4

    After having great success with Aisolve's earlier fix on printing from InDesign CS4 after upgrading to Lion, I'm having a new problems after installing the OS X 10.7.2 upgrade last week. When I try to print from  InDesign CS4 and Illustrator CS4 to my Lanier 445c/Ricoh C4500 at my workplace I get the following error message:
    "Printing Error: The Adobe Print Engine has failed to output your data due to an unknown problem."
    This seems like a different issue this time, as I'm able to print to my home printers, an HP LasertJet 2600n and an HP Photosmart C4270. I thought it might be a printer driver problems, but I've gone to Lanier's site and they don't have any new printer drivers for Mac OS X 10.7.
    I also some research on Adobe's site, and found this message affecting CS1, 2 & 3. I tried the only fix that seemed to apply to me, which was re-naming/deleting the InDesign Deafults and InDesign SavedData files. (I have this problems even when I'm printing a text-only file without any graphics.) This fix didn't work.
    I can print to the Lanier/Ricoh from Acrobat 9, and all my non-Adobe software just fine, so my work-around to date has been exporting to PDF and printing from there. My big problem is that I need the "Print Booklet" feature in InDesign for a big job I've got coming up this week. Can't do that from Acrobat. :-(
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Wanted to let folks reading this know that I spoke with an Apple tech person and found that the 10.7.2 upgrade apparently is the culprit, and is incompatible with wireless printing to my Lanier printer. I CAN print connected through USB. That's a work-around for now, but I'll need to contact Lanier about upgrading their driver
    for OS X 10.7.2.
    Aisolve over on the Adobe board was also helpful in advising me that if I was able to generate a postscript file (which I was), and able to generate a PDF by distlling it through Adobe Distiller (which I am), then I can safely assume that the problem lies with the hardware, in this case the printer driver. This lines up with what Apple told me.
    Thanks, Apple and Aisolve!

  • Printing problems with Adobe CS5

    Hello all, I recently replaced the printers in one of our university Art Dept labs; they are using iMacs running Mac OS X 10.6.8 with Adobe CS5. They had three Ricoh CL4000DN color laser printers. They bought 3 Ricoh C320DN color laser printers to replace them.
    Now, pictures that previously printed fine on the old printers look bad (color and black both incorrect) when printed with Photoshop and other CS5 programs on the new printers - especially when compared with the onscreen picture and the same picture printed with the old printer.
    However, to make things even more interesting, these pictures print fine using the Preview program that came with the computers.
    I've experimented with different color profiles, printer settings, updated the Adobe programs - so far with no success.
    Temporarily, they are printing the needed pictures, etc. with the Preview program until we can find what's causing this issue. They are about ready to have me re-install the old printers.
    I've already contacted Ricoh and their response was, well since it's printing okay via the preview program, not our problem...
    Any ideas on what to check, change, upgrade next?
    Thanks
    Anthony Bailey

    I would contact Ricoh, the suppliers of the printers, and query about the drivers, making sure that you are using the latest PostScript drivers for this printer.
    I did lookup this printer on Ricoh's website. Apparently unlike your older printers that used Adobe PostScript 3, these low-cost C320DN printers do not use Adobe PostScript 3, but rather a third party “emulation of PostScript 3.” That could be your problem – a poor PostScript implementation in the printer.

  • Problems with InDesign CS5, Mac Pro & 5870

    I am using InDesign CS5, OS X 10.7.3 (recent clean install) on a Mac Pro 3,1 (early 2008 Mac Pro) with Apple's ATI 5870 card.
    When working with a series of InDesign files today I noticed an odd problem. On some pages, PDF documents that were placed in the layout were not displaying on screen (just a white, blank space). Also, some JPEG files were appearing garbled, as if corrupted, in some of the same layouts.
    My first thought was that the graphic files in question had somehow become corrupted, but after opening them that didn't seem to be the case. The InDesign files were from different sources and other than this problem, the machine is running without issues.
    I don't know why I thought to try this but I replaced the 5870 with the original ATI 2600 and the problem went away.
    Nothing else seems to have a problem with the 5870 including some graphic heavy games.
    Has anyone else experienced symptons like this?
    Thanks for your time.
    Regards,
    Keith

    Keith: What patch release of InDesign are you running? Hold down Cmd and select About InDesign.
    Did you try resetting your preferences?
    I don't believe that InDesign is GPU-accellerated, and you games probably are. So if there are issues with non-GPU graphics on your card, that could be it.
    Certainly hardware failure of the video card is consistent with your narrative.
