Can't drag objects/text in InDesign CS5

I'm running Indesign CS5 on a Mac, 10.6.8 operating system. InDesign was working great, and then I stopped being able to drag items. I can select items (both with the regular selection tool and the direct selection toll), but I can't move them. I can move them with the arrow buttons on my keyboard. I tried switching out my mouse, no luck. I tried a new document, same problem. I restarted, same problem. I read in forums to erase InDesign's preferences, I did that, but the problem remains. None of the items are locked, etc. I have no idea what to do. Is there some keyboard shortcut I might have hit that preventing my from dragging items? Is this just an InDesign bug? I recently installed the new updates for the entire creative suite, could that have done something? I'm not sure what else to do. Any help would be great!

I can't do pdf's in Indesign (CS5.5) anymore

Today I discovered I can't do pdf's from Indesign (CS5.5) anymore. I was told to update/install Extension Manager, but it didn't work with my OS X (10.6.8).
Is this Adobes way to make sure I buy Creative cloud already, or is there any way I still can use CS5.5? I'm of course annoyed I can't deliver the material I was supposed to and hope somebody please can explain why this is happening and how I can fix it. I rather not buy the upgrade.
Thanks in advance! /Amy

You have not provided any proper technical details. This has nothing to do with CS5.5 per se, something is just wrong on your system.

Anchoring objects to text in InDesign CS5.0

Hi,
I'm trying to convert a heavily styled book with lots of photos and charts to Kindle. When I export to Kindle, it's a mess. Is it possible to anchor objects to text in CS5? I know CS5.5 can do it, but I'm having a hard time figuring it out in CS5.
Any helpful hints for making this conversion as easy as possible ... and without knowing any HTML would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I highly recommend Elizabeth Castro's ebook to learn the basics of creating EPUB files—"EPUB Straight to the Point"
Formatting ebooks - EPUB Straight to the Point
Here is how she suggests you do it in InDesign CS5:
Place the cursor in the flow of your book where you want to illustration to go (at the beginning of a paragraph).
Press Return to create a separate paragraph for the illustration
Apply an Illustration paragraph style. She suggests setting autoleading so the paragraph expands to the height of the illustration.
Choose File > Place to place the illustration in that paragraph.
If you need a caption, press return to create a new paragraph and apply the Caption style.

I can't open PDF files in InDesign CS5

Hi all,
I can't seem to open any PDF files of any version while using InDesign CS5...
I'm currently running InDesign in Windows 7 Professional x32bit...
This message keeps popping up:
Cannot open the file "TIG_Sheet_and_Application.pdf". 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've made sure that the file was not open in any application, and its not just this particular pdf files... all PDF files can't be opened. The only thing that actually opens in InDesign are the indd files...
I try going through the plug-in list, but there's a bunch and I'm not sure which one is it...
Tried google search for a solution but found no solution...
Can anyone help me?
Cheers,

krystlew, and others reading this thread and considering the answers "snarky" or "not helpful": note that this is the InDesign SDK forum -- that is, a question posted here should be about programming for InDesign:
About this Forum
The InDesign SDK forum is for discussions on InDesign plugin development using the InDesign SDK. InDesign plugins are developed in C++.
Presumably, you found this discussion because the error message lead you here: that you cannot "open" a PDF. That's InDesign's usual message for all content that it cannot 'open' with the command "File > Open..."; try for example with a Word document, a JPEG image, or an Excel spreadsheet. InDesign is perfectly able to import these files -- but you cannot use "File > Open...". You must use the command "File > Place..." instead. "Placing a PDF" is described in the online Help: https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/placing-graphics.html
It is a regular User Interface question and so unrelated to what this forum is for. General InDesign questions can be asked in the regular user forum: https://forums.adobe.com/community/indesign/content
I believe that the original question was posted in error in this forum and thus got interpreted as "what do I need to code to natively open PDFs". The answer is: lots. InDesign does not provide anything to natively read a PDF, so you would have to program literally everything.
(Some of the other posts ask why InDesign cannot already do this -- and the answer is, "Because It Is Incredibly Hard". The counterargument I usually give is that InDesign can also import (place) and export JPEG images and yet it is not a JPEG Editor. I can provide technical arguments as well. One is, there are lots of ways to construct PDFs in such a way that important content information is lost -- even something as basic as "what text is actually here".
... So, kudo's to Markzware for making it possible anyway! If you found this post because you need to convert a PDF file to a native, editable InDesign document, try their software.)

Help in copying part of threaded text in InDesign CS5

When I copy part of a threaded text box that is linked to another text box in InDesign CS5 and then paste it to another location, the text from the first text box appears in the pasted version. The remaining text that was linked from the first text box to the second does not appear in the pasted new text box.

Nor should it. You only cpoied what you selected, and the new frame is not threaded to anything.

HELP! Grey footnote reference text in InDesign CS5

Footnote reference text appears in illegible grey highlighted form in InDesign CS5. Footnote text itself retains numbering and styles. How do I fix this

Is the highlight pink? That means a missing font. Check Type>Document Footnote Options and see what paragraph style you have set for Footnote Formatting, then check that paragraph style. Also, click into the footnote to see if the type has any local override that is changing it from what is defined in the paragraph style (look for the + next to the paragraph style's name).

Problem with black text in InDesign CS5

Hi,
I just got an information from my printer that there is a probem with some text in a PDF files which I've sent to them: they appear in 4 colors. I've exported the file with rich blacsk, for printing (best quality print). Any idea why this might have happened?
Thanks in advance

need more information about the file and how the PDF was made.
is the text that the printer is concerned with:
* text composed in the indesign file; or
* text within an advertisement or graphic made by yourself or a third party?
prior to making the PDF, did the OP check the separations using the separations panel and see four colour blacks, or did the black appear fine?
how was the PDF made? using a default setting (listed in square brackets within the PDF options) or a customised setting made by the OP? what happens when using a different setting, such as [PDFX3 2002] ?
the only way that i can get [black] text from indesign to fault like the OP says is to export the PDF using the [Smallest File Size] setting which would turn the entire job RGB... and create other prepress headaches which the printer would complain about first.
however, if the type was DELIBERATELY made rich black in indesign (e.g. process colours in addition to black to make the black) then i can see why the printer would complain. IMHO I will use rich blacks in solid fills which appear over pictures so that the pictures beneath do not show through and to show a "richer than normal" black... but I WOULD NOT use it on black type under 60pt in size, moreso if the type is thin. Doing so makes it harder to register the colours on-press and isn't normally necessary on body type.

Pasting text into indesign CS5 causes constant crashing

We have a problem with one of our computers and indesign CS5. When they paste text from any other program into indesign it crashes. It may be OK for 10 minutes or so but then crashes. This is a big job with lots of business cards and they need to copy and paste text from excel and then into indesign. She gets through 4 or 5 and then it crashes. We have deleted preferences a few times and tried pasting into text edit first but it always ends up crashing indesign. It happens when text is pasted from a pdf or word also.
Any ideas?

Not a very timely reply but, I was being vexed as well with copying from one InDesign document to another. The original and the destination were both two color newsletters. I would copy an entire page and switch to the destination document to paste it. Unfortunately, once the Command-C was initiated, the swirling ball of death eventually resulted in a crash. After three attempts and restarting my computer, I tried it again but, same result.
Then, I copied only one element at a time (graphic, then a text box, grouped text and graphic...etc.) Not until I came to a single Placed EPS graphic (Illustrator EPS) did it initiate the death spiral. (I'd previously deleted all unused colors just in case)
I opened the offending file and noticed that a radial gradient contained a spot color and a CMYK mix (instead of a percentage of the same spot color). That was all it appeared to be... so far. A bit odd that THAT would hang such a powerful suite of software.
I plan to try a full page copy/paste to see if that was indeed the problem.
Computer Info: 2009 MAC Tower, 2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon, 8GB RAM, OS 10.6.8, CS6. (and I was completely sober)
PS: I tried the full page copy/paste and, it worked without a hiccup.

Can I drag/drop text from Pages to a video in iMovies?

I want to insert in a video clip in iMovies a brief textual from Pages. How do I do it?

You can copy and paste text from Pages into a Title in iMovie.
As an aside, you can create slides in Keynote with a green background and use the in iMovie with the green screen effect. I have some examples if you are interested.

Partial Object Locking in InDesign CS5.5?

In InDesign CS4, you could select a text box and lock its position. That would prevent copy editors from accidentally moving it, but they could still double click inside of it to edit the text.
When you open such a CS4 file in CS5.5, it appears that in translation the layer simply gets locked as a whole - not only can you not move it, but you can't edit it without unlocking the entire layer...which could cause accidental text box movement.
Does anybody know of a way around this?

In your preferences uncheck Prevent Selection of Locked Objects in the General pane.

Entering Vertical Japanese text in Indesign CS5

Can anyone point me in the direction of a plugin that will allow me to use the Western European version of ID CS5 to set vertical Japanese text? I don't need to do this very often and the texts are always short (a few lines only), so I can't justify investing in the Japanese version of Indesign.
I'm sure this has been discussed before, but a search of the forum yields nothing.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Piers

Thanks Peter. That was the thread I was remembering. I downloaded the CS2 template referred to in the messages. It converted to CS5 and worked flawlessly. Saved me hours of messing around.

CS6 - Can't drag object to new layer via dot

I can't seem to drag a selected object to a different layer via the colored dot in the Layers palette in CS6.
I've been doing that since I can remember. Is there some new CS6 default setting I'm missing?

It is everything to do with compound paths - all other objects, as long as they do not contain a "partial compound path" will copy or move between layers, just fine, using the click and dragging of the small square icon in the layers palette.
I have this issue - and it looks like no resolution is forthcoming from Adobe (the issue is over a year old on this forum). I called their tech support but am told that because we use 3rd party fonts and 3rd party plugins (Esko prepress system) they will not offer support for the product (call me crazy - but every printer on the planet is using 3rd party fonts - crazy as that may sound!!! - Wacky printers).
This is not a 3rd party issue however - it is a change from CS5 to CS6 in how the software handles copying between layers in the layers palette or how compound paths in general are now addressed in CS6. They cannot tell me if a change exists. I sort of just would like to know...
For now, I will need to select the partial compound path - copy the object - deselect the object - move to my target layer - paste in place, to accomplish the same end result.
NEXT VERSION WISH: make it selectable how this behaves - lock partially selected compound paths - or allow partial compound paths to be moved/copied between layers. aarrgghhh.

How can I place Tagged Text in InDesign

I use tagged text in the files I place
in InDesign. For example,
<cn>This is the chapter number
<ct>This is the chapter title
<cst>This is the chapter subtitle
<bt>This is the beginning of the body text
<ah>This is an A-level head
and so on. In PageMaker, there was a checkbox in the "place"
dialogue box named "Read tags." I checked that, and when I placed the file in the template (in which I had the styles defined), the whole chapter appeared with the formatting I wanted for each style.
I can't find the equivalent checkbox in InDesign. I can't believe it is no longer there, but search as I do, I can't find it. There is a lot online about exporting tagged text, but where, oh where, is my checkbox for placing tagged text? If someone knows where it is, I'd be very grateful.
