Script exe for indesign cs2 is possible?

i wrote a javascript for indesign cs2 application, user move that to script folder and run it.
sometimes they edit the script for their own, it makes some problem.
is it possible to make the script in exe format.
by using Extend toolkit2 if i make it as binary format indesign cs3 accepts it, but the script not view in cs2 palette...
how to solve it?
thanks
subha

the scripts for Indesign can be exported as a binary format using the ExtendScript toolKit..
This might prevent users from modifying them.
However this jsxbin format can only be used in CS3 and CS4.
Mayb u may consider upgrading to CS3 / CS4..
hope this helps..

Saving InDesign CS4 files for InDesign CS2

I'm about to upgrade from CS3 to CS4 but have a client who needs to open documents I create InDesign CS2. I've been saving files for this clients in CS3's interchange (.inx) format, which has worked fine. But CS4 .inx files will only open in CS3. One work around I found was on TUAW (http://www.tuaw.com/2009/05/08/tuaw-tip-saving-indesign-cs4-files-for-indesign-cs2/), which suggests opening the .inx file in a text editor and changing the version number. The resulting file should then open in CS4. I was wondering if anyone has tried this (with or without success) or has any advice on saving CS4 docs for CS2? Thanks very much!

I'll go with option 3 since I no longer have CS2 on my machine and my
client won't be upgrading anytime soon. Thanks for the help and great
advice.
I'd never use this workflow if I couldn't test it on CS2 before sending it off to the client. Don't know what to tell you here... good luck?
Me, harsh? Is that my rep?
Oh, come on. I can say it another way:
"Peter's going to be way too nice about this... DON'T DO IT."

How do I enable plug-ins for InDesign CS2 - files won't open

How do I enable plug-ins for InDesign CS2 - files won't open.
I own CS2.
I shouldn't have to buy CS6 InDesign.
How do I open CS 2 files and get the plug ins again.

Asking the same question over and over will not change the answer.

Need plugin updates for InDesign CS2

I purchased CS2 back in 2011. I use Photoshop, Acrobat and iIllustrator, but have never cracked open InDesign. And never had the need to upgrade to newer versions. (Semi retired) So someone sends me a file actually created in InDesign CS2 to edit and I think I'm good because I did load it onto my computer. But then I get a message saying I can't open the file until I upgrade the plugins. And of course Adobe doesn't keep them available for download any longer. Am not in a position to shell out a bunch of money upgrading to newer versions. Is there any way to get these plugins?

2011? CS2 was released in 2003 I believe and has not been available through legitimate channels for about 10 years.
There is no way to save a file from anything other than CS3 back to CS2.

Not prompted to input activation code for indesign CS2

I have the tryout version and now have an activation code but I have not be prompted to input it anywhere. where can I find the place to put in my code?

OK, now that I'm really thinking about it, what you have is probably a serial number, not an "activation" code, so maybe you need to try the register link.
Or maybe it really is an activation code, but until you give the installation a valid serial number it won't do much good.

Activation for PS CS2

Trying to activate this, but Adobe is being stupid.

Activation has been closed for CS and CS2 Download the replacement non-activation version and use the serial number next to the download link. Your original cd and serial will not work.

Need an extension for indesign cs2 that exports latest version of pdfs

we're using ID CS2, no plans to go to a more recent version. Currently latest version of pdf that it will export to is pdf 7. current versions of web browsers don't display properly, i imagine because they're expecting a more recent version pdf. is there an add-on for CS2 that will generate current pdf version ?

You can search http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm.

Missing plugins needed asap for InDesign CS2

We are in the process of laying out a newspaper and CS2 is not working to open our file.
The plugins are:
WorldReady
LILO
CellStyles.rpln
Conditional Text
Any help would appreciated.

You are trying to open a file saved in CS4. Ain't gonna happen in CS2 or even CS3.
If you can, ask the originator to export the file to.inx. That can be opened in CS3 from where it can be exported onece more to a .inx file that can be opened in CS2. You'll lose any unsupported features and the text will probably re-flow to have different line endings.
In a crunch, the CS4 exported .inx can be edited in a text editor and MIGHT open in CS2. See http://indesignsecrets.com/double-downsave.php

YES! I got rid of the activation code screen/prompts. Any suggestions as to how to get rid of the registration prompts now. Those come up every time I open the program even though I faithfully fill out all the info and even check the box to let them send me info.

XML in InDesign CS2 and Visual Studio 2005

Hello!
A year ago I made a plug in to InDesign CS1 with the purpose of importing an XML file and create a lay outed table of its contents. The reason I choose to make a plug in was because I didn't find InDesign very dynamic in its XML support.
Now I'm being asked to do a similar but more complex solution for InDesign CS2, which I never used before, and I understand a lot has happened since CS1.
How is the XML support in CS2 now a days?
And by the way, is there any problems with Visual Studio 2005 and the InDesign SDK that you know of?
Best Regards
Kristoffer

I'm sorry, I posted this thread in the wrong area. I will repost in the InDesign SDK area. My bad.
Best Regards

Rasterize plugin for indesign?

Hi
I'm looking for a way to rasterize parts of an indesign document when exporting it to pdf.
Why?
- We don't like to send many vectorial stuff like a new logo for example to customers that didn't pay yet (we had some abuse in the past)
- Filesize: documents with links to complex illustrations can still be quiet big when exporting at "Smallest File Size" (10MB+, which can give email trouble)
- To be sure the file looks and prints the same at every computer (not talking about color, but to avoid strange pdf artifacts)
We use a great script (made by Kasyan from this forum) which exports a pdf and than rasterizes the pdf into photoshop. But offcourse than the whole pdf is rasterized. There are many cases that i need to rasterize some part but leave other parts as text or vectors.
Like for example, draw an area that needs to be rasterized, or tell what objects that should rasterize.
Is there such a thing for indesign?
I came across a plugin called Triple Triangle Raster Write for indesign CS2. Unfortunately it's been discontinued so i can't test it.
Thanks!

Security is seldom an issue for me and not the reason for my inquiry. However, the pdf-security can often be broken with tools like http://freeware-pdf-unlocker.en.softonic.com/.
About "the problem", it seems there are a bit confusion out there, so I will try to describe a specific work-flow - a work-flow I know I share with many people:
Overall I produce my artwork in Illustrator as a combination of images and vectors. For instance, I often have an orthographic photo on which I draw my vectors (the combination of raster and vector produces huge .ai- and .pdf-files) This PDF (or .ai) is at some point put into an InDesign document but the process is always iterative meaning I go back an forth constantly making changes in both my Illustrator files and my layout in InDesign. When the document is finished, the customer asks for two versions of the final document; one for print/press and one for web.
The final document often has a file size of 40 mb despite it containing 'only' 20-30 pages and only 10 inserted PDFs - this is due to the combination of images and vectors in the inserted PDFs. In order to get a good quality document for WEB I now have to open the PDFs in Photoshop in approx. 600 dpi and saving them out as JPG. Then I have to re-link everything in InDesign and saving that as a new FINAL document.
This means I have spent a lot of time converting AND I am now juggling with two InDesign version of the same document. You may think, what's the big deal - it's the FINAL doc but in reality final documents have a tendency of being revised (over and over) for a million of equally valid reasons.
Not to mention, that sometimes I make multiple different 'zooms' in InDesign in the same original illustration from illustrator. To ensure good quality I have to open the PDF in Photoshop in 1200 dpi and saving it as a huge JPG. Or I have to create multiple artboards in Illustrator only for that purpuse, which also has the annoying side-effect of me needing to re-align everything in the frames in InDesign...
So there you have it. Sounds easy?

@s_ashok – you'll find the right methods and properties in the CHM file for InDesign CS2 at:
http://www.jongware.com/idjshelp.html
Just a few hints:
InDesign CS2 does not support GREP search/replace, so every line in your code that points to GREP does not work.
Further: "app.findTextPreferences" and "app.changeTextPreferences" were "app.findPreferences" and "app.changePreferences" in InDesign CS2. And then there were no "findChangeTextOptions" or any counterpart for that in CS2…
That should get you running…
I have no InDesign CS2 installed to debug, so this is all I can say…

Why does InDesign CS2 on Windows 7 ask to Validate and Register on ech startup?

I have Just moved to a new computer with Windows 7 Ultimate.
After Installing InDesign CS2, the program requests Validation and Registration on each startup.
Sometimes a Dialog Box with a title DLL pops up dayin a program with an incorrect format was being attempted.
The program seems to work OK, althought I haven't tried every feature, so these may just be annoyances rather than real problems.
However, as asoftware developer for fifty-two years, I'm suspicious that there's more to it than that.
I downloaded and installed the 4.0.5 Update for Indesign CS2, but nothing seemed to change.

You would be surprised how much software was being developed in 1959!
Although there was less computer power in most corporate mainframe computers than you have in today's digital wristwatches, the fact is that quite a bit of scientific, mathematical, and engineering software was being developed typically in FORTRAN and commercial data processing was beginning to be developed in COBOL.
In 1959 it was still 9 years before I wrote my first software.
