Image text is missing in InDesign CS4

Hi everybody,
I am using InDesign CS4 with MAC OS X 10.5.8. I encountered a problem that the Text is missing in the eps image, when imported on InDesign document. Refer below screenshot.
I have used “Times New Roman” Type1 font in InDesign document. And for images I have used the same “Times New Roman” as OTF font. Refer below screenshots.
Type 1 fonts used in InDesign:
Open Type Font used in Images:
Here, I caught one more finding. If I save the image as Adobe Postscript as “Language Level 2”, I don’t have any text missing issue in InDesign document. But, if I save the image as “Language Level 3”, I found this missing text issue in the document. Refer below screenshots.
Could anyone hlep me what the exact issue. Any help is much appreciated!!

Yes Bob. This new thread was raised by me to explain the issue in detail.
Further to my analysis, I found that when I load the job fonts in “Applications/Adobe InDesign CS5/Fonts”, we got this text missing issue. And the same job fonts, when I load in “Users/<user_name>/Library/Fonts”, it showing correct.
Any thoughts?

InDesign CS4 to reinstall after a system crash. I have bought CS4 some years ago in order to update InDesign CS2. Of course, I have my S/N for CS4 but, during the reinstallation process, I have to give the S/N of InDesign CS2 wich is lost !

I'm unable to reinstall InDesign CS4 which was bought as an update of an old InDesign CS2. I have the serial number of CS4 but I have lost the S/N of CS2 which is required.
Thanks for help.

Hi,
Thanks a lot for your answer. In fact, I’ve really registered CS2 in 2002 (october 14th). But I guess that, at this time, my email address was [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> which is no more presently usable.
So, when the installation program of CS4 requires the S/N of CS2 (because my CS4 was an update of a preceding CS2, I’ve an answer (1037-0225-5711-8675-6584-4525) but this answer is not considered as correct by the program.
I guess this change of mail adress is the reason why I don’t find, on my personal file on Adobe, any information about Indesign CS4 (S/N : 1037-0005-3808-1893-0944-6511) nor PhotoShop CS5 (S/N : 1330-0000-7535-1483-5980-1567).
Thanks

P.S.- My local time is GMT + 2 so don’t be afraid if my questions / answers are a little bit … delayed.

[InDesign CS4] - Spell() function does not get called in CHLinguistic Sample

Hi,
I am investigating CHLinguistic Sample plug-in on Windows InDesign CS4. I noted that in InDesign CS4 a new function is added FindError.
I always get call to function FindError() but I don't get calls to other functions like Spell(), IsCorrectGrammer().
Has Adobe changed something in InDesign CS4.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Ian Wood

Hi Marko,
I have SDK Build Verison 352 September 2008. With this SDK it has CHLinguistic sample. It has the following info in readme file under Known Issues -
The CHLinguistic sample does not dynamically redraw misspelled
words after adding them to the user dictionary.
I have the old SDK. You have SDK Build Version 352 October 2008, so you must be correct.
I will download the latest SDK and post my results on the forum.

Missing font makes Adobe InDesign CS4 6.0.4 crash

Hi!
I am having a problem with the latest version of Adobe InDesign CS4 (v 6.0.4).
I opened an old document which contained two missing fonts.
I was able to correct the first one by changing it to an existing font.
But when I tried to correct the second one, the application crashed.
I did this:
1. Opened the document with the missing font (the first font was now already corrected).
2. In the warning dialog window saying a font was missing, I clicked "Find Font".
3. The missing font was called "Helvetica (T1) Bold Narrow". I set it to be replaced by "Helvetica Regular".
4. Then I clicked "Change All".
5. Indesign CS4 crashes.
This is the information about the missing font (note that it says "First Used: na" which is strange):
Filename: <not installed>
Full Name: Helvetica
First Used: NA
Font: Helvetica (T1) Bold Narrow
PostScript Name: Helvetica-Narrow-Bold
Style: Bold Narrow
Type: Type 1
Version:
Restrictions: Unkonwn (Font is missing)
Path: Unknown (Font is missing)
Character Count: 27
Style Count: 0
Styles:
Page: none
Does anyone have a solution, or is this a bug?
Thanks

Hi! Thanks for your answer.
I am using Windows XP (SP3).
I tried to export my INDD file (ID CS4 format) to an INX file.
But that also made InDesign crash (perhaps because of the font thing).
Unfortunately I can't change the missing font of the text because:
* I can't see the text frame that contains the missing font.
* InDesign crashes when using the "Find Font" function.
However, this is not a big problem, I can still work with the file. But I will
always get the annoying warning about the missing font, and I prefer to
have no errors in my INDD files.

Missing fonts in InDesign CS4 - even when 'open' in Suitcase Fusion 3

Hi all, I'm running InDesign CS4 on a Intel Mac Pro (tower), about 4 years old, running OSX Snow Leopard (all updates applied).
Using Suitcase Fusion V3 for font management.
I have a document that previously had no font issues at all. Now when I open it InDesign throws up a 'Missing font' error.
I have the correct fonts installed and 'open' in Suitcase Fusion.
The font is available in Simpletext and Pages, but not InDesign and Illustrator.
The troublesome font was OK the other day and has been since it was installed.
I've not changed anything that I'm aware of... but now InDesign won't 'see' the font.
In the 'Find Font' dialogue box the 'Path' says it's 'Unkown or missing'.
InDesign can see the other weights in the font family (bold, italic etc) but not regular. And yet the entire font family is in the same folder on my hard drive.
I've tried deleting all the' Adobe.lst' files. No Joy.
I've run Font Doctor on the whole font family, its says it's OK.
I've tried re-installing the font from a back-up. Nada.
If anyone has any suggestions..... feel free to let rip!
As ever, I await your expertise and unstinting knowledge in these matters And, needless to say, I'll be mighty appreciative for it!
RP

Hi Bob, strangely... I've put the troublesome font, Dax (T1) Regular, in the Applications/Adobe InDesign CS4/Fonts folder and it seems to be working.
Never had to do that before.
Would be great to get back to 'normal'. If possible.
Although I have many duplicates spread across back-up drives and collected artwork folders, I've also tried to eliminate any duplicate 'open' versions. But the above solution is the only one that works at the moment.
RP
p.s. I also tried removing any AdobeFNT**.lst files, (where ** is a number) before the above work around. That didn't work either.

My copy of Adobe InDesign cs4 will not open a regular idml file.

I opened my document, and all it said was "cannot open the file "Tightsketch_charrette2.idml". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application" I tried opening other idmls that I knew were not corrupted and I recieved the same message. I checked the plugins, they are all enabled. I quit all other programs, no luck. I restarted the macbook, no luck again. Could I recieve some help? My Indesign cs4 is fully updated and Im having all these problems.

I have good news, and bad news.
The good news is that the file opens correctly here in both CS5.5 and CS4. The bad news is that means there's a problem with your CS4.
I would start out by trashing your preferences. It's fast, easy to do, and not overly destructive, and if you are lucky it will even solve the problem, but I wouldn't put the odds of success at more than 50/50. See Replace Your Preferences
Do you have a Time Machine backup? If you do, the next thing I would try is restoring the InDesign application folder from a time before the problem started.
If all else fails, it's probably time to bite the bullet and break out the installer. First try running a "repair" install on top of what's there. If that, too, fails, then I would uninstall CS4, run the CS5 clean tool (which can also clean up CS4 -- see Resolve installation problems with CS5 Cleaner Tool), then restart the computer and reinstall. If you have any customized stuff you should make copies of things like shorcut sets and workspaces that you can put back as explained in the thread on resetting the prefs.

AS: InDesign CS4: Missing links do not show path anymore?

Hiya! Preparing to move to InDesign CS4, and opened a document where the links were missing. In CS2 with AS you could still get the old path to where the link was pointed to, but now if the link is missing AS returns "". ?? I can still get the file name, but that is fairly useless..
I know the path is still retained somewhere, because the link pallet UI in InDesign shows path, and the path is there...
Anyone have any ideas?

How I fixed the missing shortcuts in InDesign CS4

Today, I got hit by the 'missing shortcut' syndrome on my Windows install of InDesign CS4 - all menu items were totally void of any shortcut. Even cut, copy, paste had no more shortcut keys - Ctrl-X, Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V didn't do a thing.
I tried fixing it via the Edit - Keyboard Shortcuts... menu, but there I could not even see a set name, and there was nothing I could do.
Ok, tried resetting the preferences - no joy.
Ok, tried wiping the 'Version 6.0' folders from the hidden folders where preferences were stored - no joy.
I got out some diagnostic tools, and noticed InDesign was trying (and failing) to access a folder called
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS4\Presets\InDesign Shortcut Sets\en_US
I checked it out - I did not have a folder called en_US in
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS4\Presets\InDesign Shortcut Sets
but I did have a folder called en_GB
Hmmm....
I opened an Explorer window into the InDesign Shortcut Sets folder, and I made a copy of the folder en_GB and renamed it to en_US.
Relaunch InDesign and bingo - all is well!
Looks like InDesign is getting confused between British and US English - probably it got installed as British English, then decided it rather be US English. Why that'd be - no idea.
So, here's what you can try if your shortcut keys suddenly disappear on you:
1) Navigate to the Adobe InDesign CS4 folder
2) Go into the Presets folder
3) Go into the InDesign Shortcut Sets folder
4) If you see a folder called 'en_GB', but no folder called 'en_US', make a copy of the en_GB and rename the copy to en_US. Possibly the reverse could also happen - you see en_US, you might want to try and copy it to en_GB.
Hope that helps!
Cheers,
Kris

Thanks for responding.
I had all the Symptoms you list and Kris's solution sorted them out. (It's well worth keeping a backup of those folders.)
However, I found I still had problems that may or may not be related (sorry if this is off topic). Most notably "Registration…", "Deactivate…" and "Updates…" buttons greyed out in InDesign, Photoshop etc. and from Task Manager I noticed that the processes would not stop when you quit these programs. Also Distiller refused to start.
After wasting further time I made a few complaints and was finally allocated a tech person in Adobe support who was actually very helpful. By remote control he deleted the hidden file adobe_00080000_tsf data from the hidden folder C:\ProgramData\FLEXnet. We then started InDesign and I had to enter my Serial No. and register again.
This pretty well fixed the other problems above for a day or two then I started getting "Unable to find "Adobe PDF" resource files." This was fixed by another helpful tech person in Adobe support who, by remote control had a poke around in the <C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe \Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\AMT> folder and surprisingly everything started to work properly again. I don't think he even moved or deleted anything but the whole suite has been trouble free for over a week now.
Hope this helps someone.

InDesign CS4 to PDF - Missing characters

I created a brochure (2-sided with lots of copy) using InDesign CS4; I exported it to PDF [Compatibility: Acrobat 5 (PDF 1.4)].
When opened in Acrobat 9 Professional on my computer, the file contents were perfect. The file was sent as an email attachment to prepress. When the printer opened it using Acrobat 7.0 Professional (don't know if it was on PC or Mac; they have both), there were missing characters.
The word "officer" occurred eight times in the document. In two of those occurrences, the characters "ffi" were missing. The remaining 926 words conveyed without a problem.
Any insights will be appreciated.
Frank

Embedding the entire font shouldn't make any difference whatsoever. InDesign embeds all the glyphs that are used. If the font is embedded at all, Acrobat only uses the embedded font.
Furthermore, Acrobat (including Acrobat 7) uses the local fonts option if and only if the font being accessed is not at all embedded and that particular font is on the user's system.
What is very suspect here is that the ffi ligature appears correctly in only 2 out of 8 occurrences in the word officer and that you see no problems on your system using Acrobat 9 Pro.
Here is what I would look for:
(1) Ascertain that the font is really embedded at all. Use CTRL-D and look to see whether the font is either embedded or subset embedded. If neither, that is the source of the problem. You could also run a preflight profile to ascertain that all fonts are properly embedded.
(2) You might want to find out what your printer is
really doing with your file. Is he opening a page or two in Illustrator, something can can cause very strange PDF corruptions? Are there any steps that he is performing before opening it in Acrobat such as processing it in some prehistoric workflow system that has more errors than an early Mets game?
(3) Find out whether your printer at least has Acrobat 7 updated with all the updates issued by Adobe. They were a whole carload of them. I think about 12 such updates in the 24 months that Acrobat 7 was current. You might also want to suggest that at this point, Acrobat 7 is a fairly old version for any printer that wants to stay up to date in terms of PDF print publishing workflow.

InDesign CS4: Missing Toolbars and Missing Plug-In

Currently running InDesign CS4, version 6.0 on a Macbook Pro.
I was just using the program last night with no issues. Upon opening InDesign today, Adobe Updater popped up at launch; I installed updates. Now when I open a new document in InDesign, there are no toolbars on the side of my screen. (I've tried using the tab key shortcut, but nothing happens.)
Also, when I try to open previously saved InDesign files from my computer, I get the following pop-up:
Missing Plug-ins
LILO.APLN
The document "filename" uses one or more plug-ins which are not currently available on your system. Do you want to open anyway?
And then this pop-up:
Hyphenation breaks may change if you edit the text in this document.
The following hyphenation services are not installed on this system - Proximity (English: USA)
I don't know what either of these messages mean. I'm not incredibly tech-saavy, so any advice would be EXTREMELY appreciated.

Uninstalled the Creative Suite. Ran the cleanup tool. Reinstalled the suite from the installation discs.
Upon opening InDesign, I got these two messages:
LILO.APLN
The document "filename" uses one or more plug-ins which are not currently available on your system. Do you want to open anyway?
And then:
Hyphenation breaks may change if you edit the text in this document.
The following hyphenation services are not installed on this system - Proximity (English: USA)
Also, toolbars are gone again.

Hi, Accidentally somebody screw up Photoshop CS4 and InDesign CS4 Master edition on a MAC computer in the school. The install discs did not start to run therefore I can't reinstall the 2 missing programs. I want to install the softwares, therefore I download those from here. The downloaded program refuse to accept the serial number which was given to the school when they purchased the Master Collection CS4 MLP A00. Thank you for your help, in advance.

Hi Jeff,
Thank you. I am a little bit busy at work, sorry for the delayed reply. I tried to solve the problem, but it still exists. The 3rd of the Adobe disk is damaged someway. I tried to run on my mac at home and it has a failure. So I think we have no other choice that to download the full pack of master collection. I had a discussion with the IT expert and he figured out that company does not exist any more from where they purchased the Adobe Master Collection for Mac and PC. So If you would be kind to help me, what kind of information ID or any kind of document would be needed to identify the purchaser institute (us). I don't think any of us has an account at the Adobe. I will try to figur out. I desperately need to replace Photoshop and InDesign as without them it's really harsh to teach the kids fot the graphic design.
Sincerely yours.
Peter

InDesign CS4: Missing Toolbars/Menus

InDesign CS4: Missing Toolbars/Menus on MacBook Pro
The program has been working fine for more than year, but all of a sudden the menus and toolbars have disappeared and I can't find a way to turn them back on. The program is USELESS without them since you can't do anything.
Everything is turned on (visible) under Edit > Menus... but when you're working in the actual program, NOTHING!
When opening .indd files in InDesign I get a missing plug-ins error (LILO.APLN) and then this warning appears: The following hyphenation services are not installed on this system - Proximity (English: USA). Uh, watchu talkin' bout InDesign?
    1    I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software
    2    I've tried reseting my preferences (http://forums.adobe.com/message/2339388)
    4    I've tried installing the latest update (6.0.6)
    5    Keyboard shortcuts do not work to restore the menus
    6    I changed the screen resolution to see if the toolbars were hiding of screen...
          and guess what? They weren't!
I don't believe it is a problem with the permissions since there is only one user account on this computer and it is an administrator account. No changes have been made to the user profiles since the machine was first set up!
This sounded EXACTLY like the problem I am having (http://indesignsecrets.com/rebuilding-indesign-preferences.php), but the solution (download the 6.0.4 patch) is not going to fix things for me ~ if 6.0.6 didn't clear it up, 6.0.4 sure as hell ain't gonna do it
Oh, and I'm a total novice when it come to troubleshooting (I don't have a f*cking clue what I'm doing and have only gotten this far thanks to my limited ability to Google -- hooray for opposable thumbs!... also, I tried calling Adobe tech support and I couldn't understand a single word of what that guy was saying... the only thing that came out clear was "you're gonna have to pay for help or seek it out in the forums").
So if you've got any advise that might help solve my InDesign issues, please explain it as you would to a child... seriously
THANKS!
Lauren

I read through the thread you suggested, but since I'm not computer-savvy enough to match up the Windows based advise with my MAC, I went straight for the cleaner tool option. I wiped CS4 from my computer, and with hope in my heart I reinstalled the entire suite. As the progress bar neared completion, rainbows exploded across the sky, children laughed and angels got their wings... but as soon as I opened InDesign the whole world went to sh*t again. The toolbars are still MIA. This is CRAZY... they were there last week. No major changes have ocurred that would suddenely make the program stop working... save for the fact that someone has obviously placed a gypsy curse on me. WTF!

Missing plug-ins for InDesign CS4? Fehlende Zusatzmodule für InDesign CS4?

Missing plug-ins for InDesign CS4? Fehlende Zusatzmodule für InDesign CS4?
Hello! Hallo!
I am working with CS4 on the Mac OS X, version 10.6.8. I created some InDesign files with it a couple of weeks ago. When I want to open them now again, it shows me a long list of plug-ins that I supposedly have to activate first or I need to buy the newest CS as an alternative.1. How did this problem come off? 2. How can I activate the missing plug-ins?
Ich arbeite mit CS4 auf einem Mac OS X Version 10.6.8. Habe damit vor einigen Wochen mehrere InDesign Dateien erstellt. Wenn ich sie jetzt wieder öffnen möchte, zeigt er mir eine lange Liste von Zusatzmodulen an, die ich angeblich aktivieren muss bzw als Alternative das aktuellste CS kaufen soll.
1. Wie ist das Problem zustande gekommen? 2. Wie kann ich die benötigten Zusatzmodule aktivieren?
Thank you all! Danke schön!

Actually, Indesign only says like "I can't open, because it was saved from a newer version" and does not list any extensions/plugins.
If you now make a new document, save it and open again - will it work?
Those plug-ins are usually enabled/disabled via the Adobe Extension Manager (Menü "Hilfe"->Erweiterungen verwalten).

Adobe InDesign CS4 fonts - where'd they go?

Using a PC. I work for a municipal govt which finally upgraded me from adobe CS to CS4 this past year. I mostly use InDesign for my work publications and was thrilled to have some new fonts with the new CS4 on my system (fonts like Baveuse, Blue Highway, Burnstown Dam, Carbon Block, Kredit, Earwig Factory, Hurry Up, Planet Benson2, Teen, Pupcat and more).
But within the last month, all of these particular fonts (and others) have totally disappeared. I can't use them at all in InDesign now. So how do I get them back? Were these particular fonts on a certain install disk? My IT dept reinstalled the entire suite yesterday, but it didn't bring back the missing fonts...
Also where are fonts supposed to be stored on my computer? (If they are supposed to be in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS4\Fonts - there's nothing in this folder at all.)
I am by no means an expert with CS4, so if you can give me any help, please give it to me in layperson terms. I'm trying to do the best I can here. I appreciate your responses in advance. Thanks!

Also where are fonts supposed to be stored on my computer? (If they are supposed to be in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS4\Fonts - there's nothing in this folder at all.)
Well, you can put fonts there, just by dragging them off the disks and dropping them in to that folder - if you do that, then InDesign can use the fonts, but no other programs will be able to do so.
You didn't say which version of Windows you were using, but if you're using Windows 7, you can right-click on any font file and choose "Install" depending on your system settings. That will make the fonts available to all the programs on your computer, not just InDesign. If your IT department understands that you're an InDesign user who needs to be able to install fonts, that method will work. If it doesn't work, it'll give you an error message that is probably NOT "Hey, you're not allowed to install fonts" but "These font files are corrupt." If you see that, it probably means that your IT department has not given you the power of installing fonts, which means they'd need to do it.
In Windows XP, you actually have to navigate to the Fonts folder (Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Fonts) and then choose File -> Install Font.
