Can I Globally Bind Fields in InDesign CS6 Forms?

I'm used to using LiveCycle Designer to create forms, where I had a great deal of control over how the forms would look and feel and could create very complex interactivity. Particularly useful was the ability to create form fields that would repeat information throughout the rest of the form through global bindings.
Because I'm now trying to create forms for use on mobile devices, I want to create that same level of interactivity in InDesign CS6. Anyone have any advice on how I can go about doing this?
Thanks in advance.

InDesign is only giving you access to the features of Acrobat (Acro forms). Acrobat has some features not accessible from within InDesign.
There is no feature in either InDesign or in Acrobat called "global binding" for Acro forms that I'm aware of.
Your best bet is asking questions about Acro forms in the Acrobat Forms forum.

ID Install - Can't open the application Adobe InDesign CS6 because it may be damaged or incomplete.

Trying to install inDesign CS6 on my imac. But everytime I try at end of install I either get a problem with install error, or if it does show up in my applications folder, it has a "no" sign and when clicked I get:
"You can't open the application Adobe InDesign CS6 because it may be damaged or incomplete."
Need help, Im a freelance desktop publisher and need this to work!

After I deleted Adobe File Manager because it was always popping up annoyingly, I got a similar "damaged application - reinstall" message. However, InDesign didn't seem to be affected. Nevertheless, I reinstalled AFM, and fixed the problem, except for the annoying appearances of AFM.
If it's not present on your system, you can search Google for "download adobe application manager mac" without quotes, to download and install it.

Can we test a Field in the activeSync Form

Hi All,
Can we test a field in the activesync form.
I have created different fields in activesync form.
I wanted to test what data is coming and how activesync input form is handling the data and processing it.
I just had a look at the class files which are calling the activesync form but what i could understand is They are creating a query based on the schema map and the search predicate.
But when it comes to input form I wanted to know what data is coming and how the input form and the resource compares.
Can any one Please clarify this things will be greatful.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks and Regards
Gajendra Nagapurkar

Hey,
actually there are three generic objects filled for every record that is pulled from chang log when active sync polls.
These are activesync objet global object,IAPI. What you could do is enable logging in the active sync configuration and tail the file, you can see how the active sync adapter gets data fro change log ane what are changes.
Thanks,

Cannot find "Binding Direction" in InDesign CS6

I have InDesign CS6 for Mac. I need to build a document that binds right-to-left ("Bind Right"). Online it says that I can do this by using "Binding Direction" in the Document Setup Dialog but that dialog does NOT show "Binding Direction." Do I need to have some kind of "International Version" I don't have?
Alex

I can change the binding direction using a script like this:
Copy the text and save with jsx extension and put in the scripts directory:
var myDocument = app.documents.item(0);
with(myDocument){
main ();
function main ()
try
if (documentPreferences.pageBinding == PageBindingOptions.rightToLeft)
documentPreferences.pageBinding = PageBindingOptions.leftToRight
else
documentPreferences.pageBinding = PageBindingOptions.rightToLeft
catch (_){}
Or You change your Indesign CS6 for CS6-ME (middle east)

Can not find pantone+ swatches in InDesign CS6, such as 2239c?

How do I find the pantone+ swatches in InDesign CS6, such as 2239c? It is not visible in the swatches panel? Can anyone else see this swatch in Indesign Cs6 or Illustrator Cs6?

From the Swatches panel Flyout menu, choose New swatch.
In the new swatch definition dialog, under Type choose Spot, and under Mode choose Pantone + Solid Coated.
There are some legacy colors that are not included inthe Pantone + series. You can add these to both ID and Illustrator by following the directions in Pantone Plus color libraries (Thanks, Vikrant ).
2239 isn't in my old swatchbooks as a spot color or the legacy books for the program, either. Are you sure that's a vaild number? Perhaps youpi really mean 223-9, a light blue-gray process color? If that's the case, you'd need to specify Process instead of Spot, and choose the appropriate book fromthe mode dropdown. The 223 series seems not be included in the + books, but it is inthe legacy books if you add them according to the instuctions in the link above.

Can't save as 'eps' in Indesign cs6 trial.

I am trying to design a logo and I am using a trial version of Indesign cs6. However, it will not let me "save as" an eps file. It only allows 'indesign cc template", "indesign cc document" and "Indesign CS4 or later". How can I save my logo as an 'eps' on a transparent background so I can use it in the creation of my business card?

All the google help pages say that you can save an eps file on a transparent background
For example; http://smallbusiness.chron.com/create-eps-file-transparent-background-52652.html
But I don't have the option in my Indesign "save as" > "format" drop down menu. It is so frustrating.
I have been able to do it before, in Indesign cs6 on a PC.
When you save a logo as an 'eps' file you onle see the actual logo making it very easy and functional to work with when using the logo to create a design. When you save it as anythig else the logo appears on a white page. Like a letterhead. on a document.

Can only open .indd files within InDesign CS6

I am using InDesign CS6 (cloud version) on Windows XP. I can only open .indd files by opening InDesign CS6, doing File>Open, and then browsing for the file.
If I try to go to the folder where the .indd file is located (without opening InDesign CS6), and double-click on it, it acts like it doesn't know what kinf of file it is.
Another co-worker of mine is experiencing the same thing on Windows 7.
Does anyone have suggestions on what to try to fix this?
Thanks in advance!

Uninstall, run the clean tool (CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3), and reinstall. The symptoms you describe are typical if the icon handler .dll file is damaged.
Try turning off your anti-virus and spyware scanners, and anthing else not required to run the system before you reinstall.

Can I change and reinstall my Indesign CS6 from my (soon to be old) windows pc to my (new) apple pc?

I have Windows licenses for Indesign CS6, vs 8 and Photoshop purchased & downloaden through Adobe about two years ago. I am now switching to an Apple pc but do not want to buy new packages or creative cloud since my purchased packages still suit me perfectly..
I know this question has been asked before but I cannot find a definite answer. So therefor I hope someone can clarify this to me.
Many thanks!

InDesign CS6 Forms Question

Wondering if any of you out there have been using the new forms options in InDesign CS6. I have been working on some forms and created a bunch of text fields for people to fill in. What I discovered was that when I exported and tried to put text in the fields in Adobe Acrobat Reader, it wouldn't save the form (it will let you print but not save). The filled out form can be saved in the full version of Adobe Acrobat, but with Reader I am having difficulties. On Adobe's website, they say that filling in fields and saving is possible in Reader, the document just needs to be "rights enabled". I am having a difficult time figuring out how to export my PDF from InDesign CS6 so that it is rights enabled. Has anyone run into this before? How do I remedy this?

I think that you can reasonably assume a 64-bit future for InDesign, but not as an InDesign 8 (CS6) update. For MacOS, transition to Cocoa from Carbon was necessary for this to occur.
Note that there are in fact limited benefits of 64-bit over 32-bit. In general performance with 64-bit is not necessarily better than with 32-bit. There are cases where 64-bit performance actually can lag a bit behind that of 32-bit. The real benefit of 64-bit is the ability to have larger address spaces, thus eliminating problems that can occur with very large, very graphically complex documents when InDesign and its component graphics libraries run out of address space for content, work areas, etc. and either the program fails or has to spill out into work files.

Mac Acrobat X Pro hangs after InDesign CS6 form export but opens in Preview

Anyone else having this issue?

I guess no one can understand this... I just had the worst tech support "chat" form Adobe I have ever had... theu guy started steering me to make an EPS file to distill. That won't help for interactive. I can export to PRINT PDFs. I can export to INTERACTIVE PDFs. Today, for the first time I had to make a form in InDesign CS6 using the new form tools. I can export the file but Acrobat X Pro hangs trying to open it. I just mentioned Preview to say that I CAN open the file in Preview. I'm just trying to eliminate things. I KNOW Preview is not the right tool...

Can't export to RGB pdf - Indesign CS6

Hi there,
I'm trying to export a web pdf with RGB color settings but it doesn't work. Everything looks good in the Indesign document and I've switched to RGB transparency blend space. When I export to a interactive pdf it comes out as a CMYK pdf and when I try a print pdf i just get the error: "1 problem (1 failure) was found with a background task: mydocument.pdf"
What could be wrong??

Where are you viewing the exported PDF? If it's AcrobatPro you might have a CMYK simulation profile set.
I tried exporting an interactive PDF with your colors and transparency, and it previewed correctly in AcrobatPro (sRGB simulation), Reader, and Preview. Here's AcrobatPro with different simulations:
SWOP:
Reader 9.5, Preview 5.03, Safari:

Can you override scaled type in indesign CS6?

I have many charts that have been made over the course of multiple years. I now need to have them all on the same page. I'd like to respecify the type without recreating all the charts from scratch. Although I am highlighting and putting in the correct point size it is not allowing me to hold it. And is giving me a (6.5 pt) sort of thing next to the 7 I am putting in. Is there any way to get rid of that old scaling so I can make all my trick charts print in the same point size?

There's a menu in the upper right of your work area. With the text box selected, choose Redefine scaling as 100%
(it's greyed out in my screen shot because what i had selected was not scaled, but it will be available if you have scaled content selected)

I can't find Helvetica Neue on Indesign CS6

Thanks.
