Acrobat and Indesign question

Can somebody show me how to find a highlighted text in acrobat via Bridge and search the highlighted text in InDesign?
Is this possible?
Best regards,
Ferenc

Hi Dave,
I thought that what Bridge for to be able to use both program isn't it?
I have a PDF file what I made from an InDesign file, what I send out via e-mail to my proofreader and than he highlight the incorrect text in Acrobat and writes the correct text into the note of the highlight. Than I want to insert this correction into the indesign document exactly where he marked in the PDF file.
Thanks,
Ferenc

Acrobat and InDesign CS5 file issue

Hi everyone...
My issue is that Acrobat won't or can't convert InDesign CS5 files. It opens Illustrator and Photoshop and converts them to pdf's but not InDesign.
I've tried everything. I've even tried Adobe tech help. No luck. It was a relatively easy procedure in CS4, not to mention a time saver.
Is there someone that knows how to resolve this? Please help as I'm desperate to avoid having to convert all my InDesign files one at a time.

Hi Matthew-
Our workflow often involves combining multiple IND files into a pdf. With CS4, we merely opened acrobat, clicked "Merge Files into a Single PDF" and dropped in the indesign files we wished to combine. Presto- we had one PDF with all IND files put together without having to go through indesign.
In response to your post, I only have CS5 installed, and it seems as though Acrobat doesn't recognize ID CS5 as a program at all. I believe I am current on all InDesign and Acrobat 9 updates to date - I'm running InDesign7.0.2 and Acrobat 9.3.4.
When trying to open IND files through Acrobat, Acrobat launches and gives an error message that states: "Please select a file created by an application that resides on your computer."
Acrobat can't call InDesign CS5 to open at all. Could this be because Acrobat was not updated along with the CS5 suite and therefore doesn't recognize the new CS5 Indesign files?
I read another blog that mentioned it could be a registry problem- they ran CCleaner and ran the registry fix. Then uninstalled and reinstalled both Acrobat and Indesign. What are your thoughts on this method? It's hard for me to try this on my own, as it requires an administrative login- our IT department has us locked out. I would like another opinion before I ask them to help.
Do you forsee a fix from Adobe in the future?
Thanks for your help!

URL Hyperlinks in Acrobat (and InDesign) open in new Tab/Window

I really don't understand, why this feature isn't implemented yet. I tried to google a workaround and found hundreds of posts auround this problem. People where asking how they could do this since 2002 (the oldest post I could find) maybe earlier.
Please make sure Acrobat - and also InDesign - get this feature in the next version - because people want to have it!!!
What do I talk about?
The following feature:
I include a textlink or and Image-link into a PDF-File.
Because of the Standard Browser settings most of the people who download a PDF-File will see the PDF in a Browser Tab. Now, if they hit one of the links (included in the PDF) the link opens in the same window/Tab. The PDF is closed. The only way to get back to the PDF is to hit the return button of the browser or reload the PDF. Normally I would like to open these links in a new Tab or Window. But there is no function nor in Acrobat, neither in InDesign to make the Link open in a new TAB/Window.
I know there was a possibillity using JavaScript (app.launchURL("http://www.MySampleURL.com/someFolder/somePage.html", true);)
and this worked. But now because of the security settings of Acrobat X and later it only works if the user changes the settings. So, it's no longer useful because most of the users won't know how to make the links work.
So at the moment there is NO WAY to make the link open in a new Tab.
I know If I link another file, it askes me where to open - new window or the same. Why can't you implement it for URL's too?
Sorry, I searched the whole day to solve this problem. And I can't understand, why Adobe doesn't look at there customers needs (since 2002 or earlier).

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Acrobat (and InDesign) performance issues after virus

Hi everyone,
we have a problem with our system (spec listed below);
System
Dell Precision T7400
CPU(s): dual quad core Xeons
RAM: originally 2GB, upgraded to 4GB 1 day ago
OS: XP 32-bit
Adobe Software: Originally CS3 Suite, now CS5 Suite
Acrobat 9 Pro
Problem
Acrobat: 1. stutters slowly when scrolling, almost crashes
2. Takes 4X longer than before to "Reduce file size" for PDFs
InDesign: stutters slowly when working with text, almost crashes
Cause
Virus infultrated system about 1 month ago.
Attempts
1. Re-imaged disc and installed software based mirroring software with 2 extra backup drives: system still lags
2. Re-formatted, reinstalled: system still lags
3. Turned off mirroring: helped a little
4. Ran various memory, motherboard tests: nothing found
5. varified all BIOS and firmware up to date
6. Uninstalled mirroring software, installed hardware based mirroring software, reformatted, reinstalled: system still lags
7. Tried working with files directly from C:/ with no mirroring: system still lags
8. Installed fresh 4GB memory: system still lags
9. Have tried all methods of helping InDesigns performance but no luck.
Thoughts
Comparing this system to my old laptop (Centrino Dual Core), the laptop runs about 4X faster since the virus. Before the virus, this system was a dream to work with, super fast speed, never lagged.
I keep thinking that the virus must have damaged somthing on the motherboard, but error messages or motherboard beep codes.
Any other suggestions (short of shotting this system) would be greatly appreciated.

Are you sure it only happens with Acrobat and ID, it could be a faltering hard drive
As far as I can tell. Photolop and Illustrator work fine, haven't had time to try the rest of the CS5 Suite apps.
I've ran tests on the C drive (10k rpm) and the added 1TB drives. Same results for all; lag lag lag.

Adobe Acrobat and InDesign documents print once only

Hi,
Printing a 100 page 25 sheet imposed 8.5 x 14 Adobe Acrobat document is limited to only one copy. At the end of the first copy printing; printer stops and requests letter-size paper, for drawer one,
printer default is set for 8.5 x 14 and first print ran from drawer 2.
Older CS 2 imposed files, printed from IDCS2 still print multiple copies on HP 4200 duplex. The new Adobe work flow for page imposition yields a pdf file to be printed from Adobe Acrobat.
OS is 10.5.8 iMac duo core intel.
Work flow is Adobe InDesign CS5 book > flight test clear > .pdf > open with Acrobat 9.3.2 > impose with Quite Imposing > save imposed pdf > prints only one at a time
then printer stops and asks for different paper size in different drawer.
Specifically : Prints one copy means 25 sheets duplex is completed perfectly, starting the next set of 25 sheets (one document copy) is when the printer stops and asks for different paper from different drawer.
note : Evidence points to the printing control panel of CS 5.
Older imposed Adobe InDesign CS2 document opened by InDesign CS5 also will only print one document copy of 25 sheets±. Attempting to over-ride the Adobe InDesign CS5 panel for printing by selecting four copies there does not help. In other words, printing an old InDesign file from InDesign CS5 yields the same problem as printing a new InDesign CS5 imposed, saved as pdf and printed from Adobe Acrobat 9.3
Adobe forums report similar unsolved printing problems with InDesign CS4. I'm going to post this in Snow Lepord as well since my laptop has 10.6.
Suggestions ?
Garrett

Hi kostby,
I'm sure you completely answered my question, I only checked helpful because my own thick skull is blocking a full appreciation of your brilliant insight.
Sadly, I'm away from my printer for another couple of weeks, even so, this shouldn't stop me from understanding what you are saying a little better.
I downloaded and went through the file from HP and it looks to me like the obvious default HP position is one copy. Am I clear in assuming from this, and your explanation, that the CS5 software engineer has overridden my command to print four ? I am making this assumption because the default is for long edge binding and I select short-edge legal-size duplex with legal size being my default size for the printer. Thus, the change in paper size and drawer location remains a mystery.
I often print four to five copies because that is a convenient stack for my aging cutter, any number greater than one is nice because I can avoid being in the room with the printer and breathing ink dust.
I am not sure how to send the print job to a file so I can open it with BBEdit and inspect the specific commands, this is very interesting to me. Though I'm at this point without the full skill set to master using this great knowledge. Also, over the years, I've found that I don't fully retain lessons once learned but rarely used, but that's a different and perhaps personal problem.
Thank you very much,
Garrett

Tabloid duplex printing problem from CS4 (Acrobat and InDesign)

I cannot print a two-page tabloid (landscape mode) pdf document properly from a MacBook Pro or a Mac Pro running 10.6.2 using Adobe Products (Acrobat 8 or 9, or InDesign CS3 or CS4) to an HP LJ5550DN. The printed version prints on both sides of the paper, but the right 1/4 of each page doesn't print. Furthermore, if I reboot and print just one side, it prints fine, but when I select duplex I get this problem and if I try to print just one side again, it prints w/o the 1/4 of the right side of the paper.
I can print the tabloid duplex correctly using Preview on the same computers. I can also print correctly using Acrobat 7 from a Mac G4 running Mac OS 10.4.11. I can print a single tabloid sheet correctly from Illustrator CS3 or CS4 from the Snow Leopard computers, but since Illustrator doesn't handle more than one page, can't send it duplex.
I conclude that the problem is the Adobe software under Snow Leopard. If you know what is wrong with the Adobe software, please send me the fix - it would streamline the process.

I'm having exactly the same problem, with a 5500dn. As with you, the problem is present in both CS3 and Acrobat 8 and 9, and I can print a duplex A3/tabloid PDF correctly with Preview. (only the colour balance is rubbish!)
Mac OS 10.6.2, print driver HP Color Laserjet 5500 v3010.107 (although it's obviously not the driver).
Needless to say, any solution to this needs to address CS3 and later apps.
Bug report filed.
Thanks,

Acrobat and Transparencies QUestion

"in indesign" Hows come when i send out a PDF In the Advanced Tab the Transparency Flattener Quality is grayed out If i select any higher Acrobat 4 compatibility? Do the Newer version of Acrobat not support this? On some of our files if we send them to plates If the Acrobat Compatibility Is set higher than Acrobat 4 the all the overprinting And knockouts get lost. Is there a better way to accomplish this?
Thanks For your help

In modern PDF publishing workflows, one should never flatten transparency. PDF 1.4 (i.e., Acrobat 5 compatibility) supports live transparency.
There is nothing in creating PDF 1.4 or above that modifies any overprinting or knockout attributes. That having been said, you need to be exceptionally careful with any designs in which transparency and overprinting are used together.

DPS AND INDESIGN QUESTION

I am designing with Indesign CS6 AND WITH FOLIO TO BE VIEWED ON IPAD WITH ADOBE CONTENT VIEWER, WHEN DO I need digital publishing in this. Do i need to buy DPS seprately

ACV is Adobe Content Viewer. You can use it to preview folios you created with InDesign, and you can share that folio with other people. But if you want to create a custom app, you need to pay. For example, with a full subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud, you can create an unlimited number of Single Edition apps. Single Edition apps include only one folio and they work only on the iPad. To create other types of apps that work on various platforms, you need either a DPS Pro or Enterprise subscription.

Acrobat 9 and Indesign Std 5 Frutiger TT Font Problems

I have several Acrobat 9 users with the Frutiger TT Fonts installed and working fine
I have two Acrobat 9 and Indesign 5 std users with Frutiger TT Fonts installed and they won't work most of the time when doing the following...
They are converting Word 2003 into PDF with Acrobat but where the Frutiger Font is used it leaves out words or sometimes paragraphs.
Any other font is OK just Frutiger that has the problem and only on PC's that have Indesign installed.
All other PC's that only have Acrobat 9 installed will convert the Word doc to PDF using the Frutiger Font.
Naturally I have Uninstalled and reinstalled all products in several different ways to overcome this issue.
In one case I uninstalled Acrobat 9 and the Frutiger Fonts. Reinstalled both and all appeared to work fine for a whole day.
The PC was turned off at the end of the day and when turned back on for use the next day the problem had returned.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Hi Rave,
I have not tried creating another user Account but I have since uninstalled the whole CS Suite (used CC cleaner and manually going through all the native prefs and deleting them etc). Afterwhich, I did a fresh install and both softwares, including PS, Br and Ai, have been working flawlessly for weeks now.
cheers

CS4 question re:Illustrator and InDesign

Mordy mentioned increased support with Illustrator and InDesign.
Can anyone enlighten me on what the support is? Can InDesign place native Illustrator files WITHOUT having the AI files saved with pdf compatibility?
Thank you in advance.

No, I just chuckled when I read it.
However, my questioned has to do with client submitted art where the client does not save it with pdf compatibility and does not supply supporting links and fonts. I most likely have the fonts, but I can do nothing with the missing links.
Anyway, I doubted this would work but I am curious what Mordy meant with easier interaction between Illustrator and InDesign.

Problem printing fra Acrobat 8 and Indesign CS3

Hi Forum
My setup is a Powermac G5 with 10.5.8 and a Epson 1400 and a Epson c8500. I have checked, that I'm using the latest drivers from Epson.
My problem is then I print A4 PDF documents to these two printers, the prints will be cropped, it actually seem like the top and bottom margins of the printable area are wrong. Scaling is set to none and I have also tried printing as an image.
I have tried using Acrobat 8, Adobe Reader 9 and Indesign CS3, also behave the same.
If I use Preview, my prints will look just fine.
I tried the same from a Macbook pro with 10.5.8 and Acrobat 8 and 9, and from this computer things work correctly.
So it's seems to be a problem with an Adobe related file or setting.
anybody seen this before?
kind regards
Lars

Our office is printing fine from ID & PS CS3. This is from Intel & PPC Mac's running 10.4.9.
What is your printer and how is it configured for printing, ie USB or IP.
Also, have a look at the cups error log. You can find this via System Profiler > Software > Logs. This will show which process is failing for the spooled job. You can post it back here for more help.

Adobe Acrobat, Reader and Lifecycle question

I have forms that I created in Adobe Acrobat and Lifestyle. The forms are useable by most but, some of my users tat are using Reader 11 are having issues writing to the forms. The problem is random. Also my environment includes PC's using Windows 7 and Samsung tablets using the latest Andriod operating system and Reader for Andrioids

Unfortunately I am turning to this forum because the problem is random. Therefore I will reiterate the issue differently. While using a pdf file that was created in adobe acrobat then enhanced in life cycle, I have users, both in MS Windows 7.0 and Android Jellybean, the users are nat able to input text or numbers into the fields. When the users send the pdf the data is absent. I hope this is clearer.

Adobe Acrobat X 10.1.13 documents and InDesign CS6 looks very blurry on retina screen

I received an upgrade to my Adobe creative suite 5.5 to CS6.
On my macbook pro retina late 2013 15 inch screen, I currently have Adobe CS6 Design Premium, among these apps, I got Adobe acrobat pro, and recently updated my Acrobat Pro to 10.1.13. However, documents in this app have very blurry text.
I also have adobe InDesingn CS6 version 8.0, and text looks blurry on this as well.
are there any updates to these apps so they look ok on my retina screen? or does CS6 not support retina?

Hi missartist,
Could you please try this out:
Open Acrobat and go to "Edit -> Preferences -> Page Display"
Under Smooth Text label, please select 'For Laptop/LCD screens' and click ok.
Now, check if the text still looks blurry.
Let me know.
Regards,
Anubha
