Cannot ALT copy elements across pages in Indesign CS6

I cant seem to copy elements across pages anymore in Indesign CS6. In CS4 ( the last one I was using before I upgraded) i could select an element (ie text box) and (windows) ALT drag that text box across pages effectively copying it. In CS6 I can ALT drag on a page but as soon as I try to go across pages it cancels the dupilcation. Anyone know if this is new/changeable/bug

That shouldn't be happening.

Locking Pages in Indesign CS6

In Indesign CS6, I want to create a page that cannot be edited, but, if duplicated, can be edited.
Is this possible?

Are you saving with the .indt extension? When you do that ID will open an untitled copy by default so that you don't accidentally overwrite your template file. I'm not sure what to tell you about editing the master page other than one, be more careful about where you are, and two, perhaps lock the objects, though that may have adverse effects on your ability to use them for placing content.

Copying from Acrobat XI to Indesign CS6

Has anyone noticed that when you copy a section of text and paste it into Indesign CS6, Indesign CS6 unexpectedly closes?
It has happened too often to be a co-incidence.
If you paste from Acrobat to Word and then copy and paste that onto Indesign, there is no problem.
I am not sure whether it is an Indesign weakness or an Acrobat weakness.
I am now sure it is a problem with Acrobat XI. I have just done a copy and paste from Acrobat Pro IX and Indesign CS 6 did not crash.
Anyone had a similar experience?
James.

I am on Indesign CS 6 8.1.
Must be something about my system.

How do I change the text color of footers on select pages? (InDesign CS6)

Good afternoon,
Months ago, I worked with a graphic designer to put together a 100-page workbook for my training company. He turned all of the files over to me and I'd like to make a small change before we print another run for a new client. Specifically, I'm having trouble changing the text color on select pages. Since a picture says 1,000 words, let me give you an example:
As you can see, the copyright information on the right side of the page is difficult to read here when placed over the photo (you may have to look closely, but it's along the guy's sleeve). What I'd love to do is change that part of the footer (not the left, page number side) to white text. This would make it quite a bit easier to read. There's a number of other pages in the book that I want to make this change to. I'm not sure why I never noticed it or mentioned it to the designer. I suppose I've become more discerning since then.
Let me tell you what I've tried to do:
I learned how to override master pages by CTRL+SHIFT clicking on the footer. However, this has not worked for me. It allows me to change the page number part, but not the copyright side. Additionally, sometimes when I override the master the formatting of the footer goes goofy. For instance, the left side and right side come together and end up in the middle of the page I'm working on.
I'm looking for a quick way to go through and make the footers easier to read on pages where they are backed by a photo. Hoping you can help me. Please let me know if you need any other information.
Best,
Taylor

I think you should have left it as it was. It seems like what you had was single pages flowing as spreads within InDesign. Like below. That is the correct way, and when you changed it to all single, it did create your footer problems.
Will you be sending the file as a PDF to your online printer? If so, then leaving the InDesign file set as below is fine. The PDF output will separate the pages.
All you have to do is make sure that Pages, not Spreads, is chosen when you output the PDF

Page overlap when exporting to pages in InDesign CS6.

Hey community,
for a college project I am creating a little a5 sketch book, I have everything finished, but when I export the file as pages (which is what the company who is printing it requested) some of the spread overlaps onto the pages like so:
In InDesign I have the document set up like this with facing pages:
Could anyone help me please? I'm far from an expert using InDesign, thankyou to anyone who is kind enough to help, if you need more screenshots i'll happily put them up.

I'm going to start again, it's up to you if you want to read this or not, I do appreciate any help that I get, i'm just having a hard time getting my head round all of this.
I am wanting an a5 booklet, like this:
I got the pages mixed up before so now they are this:
So I should be saving as spreads, not pages, which is my fault again and i'm sorry. The covers and the first/second page will be double sided, meaning I won't have a blank page in between them.
So if I export my document, using crop marks and no inside bleed:
I get this:
Now is that correct?
I know i'm being a pain in the back side but i'm not fluent in InDesign and it gets quite confusing with setting pages up.
Thankyou again.

How to make a layer exclusive to a page in InDesign CS6?

As I am just transitioning over to InDesign from working in Illustrator, how do I make a layer exclusive to just one page in a multi page document?
What am I making?
I'm putting together a document with 10 separate, single page, adverstisements but I dont want all of the background images from every page to disappear when I toggle the on/off switch on the layer in which I've placed the image. It seems as though all the pages are linked to the same layer. I must be approaching this the wrong way.
Any help in troubleshooting this would help me out greatly - Thank you.

… So, this is not because Layers is a global document concept as Steve said [He's totally right!] that you can't use one layer dedicated to one page.

Can't Move pages in InDesign CS6

I have a 24 page workbook that I had to renumber the pages to start with page 2. After doing this, my pages aren't showing up next to each other. And I'm unable to move them. I've included a screen shot for reference.
Any advice?

Fromthe pages panel flyout menu make sure Allow Document Pages to Shuffle is checked, and also Allow Selected Spreads to Shuffle for any spreads that show the numbers in brackets if you want them to be able to rearrange as well (in this case you have two pages numbered 2, and that's a problem since by default ID wants to arrange even numbered pages tothe left of the spine and odds to the right).

Haw to create dynamic PDF with dynamic flowing tables across pages?

Hi!
Sorry for my english, I use it very rarely
I try creating PDF form with many tables (example document: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BxTpZtaOkLBbcEJzdGJFcXVSWDJ0RlladUZJd1hMZw). But, when the table or any element hit the bottom of page, they just flow over it. Also in designer elements don't distribute across pages but just disappear on first page bottom. I want to dynamically distribute elements across pages. What I do incorrect?

Please share you form with me [email protected]

Questions about Downloading InDesign CS6 for WIN

I am trying to help an employee get Adobe InDesign CS 6 installed on his Windows Computer.
We are wondering what the difference between these three options are when you are on the Download Program Page:
Adobe InDesign CS6 Installer for Windows (English & Japanese)
Adobe InDesign CS6 Installer Package for Windows (English & Japanese)
or Adobe InDesign and InCopy CS6 Content Installer for Windows (Multi-Language)?
Are ALL of these programs necessary for him to download? He is worried about the size of some of these files, and if he is duplicating himself by downloading all three download options.
Also, does he need to download all three of the following files, too? Can you tell me what each of these do?

Indesign cs6, smart guides on, transform not proportional

i use my smart guides a lot. i have found that when i go to transform an image using the direct select tool, and the cmd+shift function, the percentage of the scale is not consistant on teh x and y axis (they should be the same). i do have the "constrain proportions" active. i have tested without them being active. it seems, so far, the only time i can recreate the issue is when the smart guides are active.
-osx 10.8.3
-indesign cs6 (cloud subscription)
-smart guides on
-transform window open
-constrain proportions active
-direct select tool
-select image within a frame with direct select tool (white arrow tool)
-use shift+cmd and drag and scale, repeat (small and large areas)
-repeat a few times and watch the horizontal and vertical percentages in the transform window. percentages will not be consistent after a few tries
does anyone else have this issue?
can anyone else recreate this issue?
does anyone have any suggestions on a fix (other than turning off the smart guides)?
thanks in advance
-maria

okay, i finally figured this bad boy out! here is the solve in case you guys come across the problem
-indesign cs6, go to preferences>guides and pasteboard
-go to "smart guide options"
-turn OFF "smart dimensions" and "smart spacing"
all is well with the world, and i can sleep peacefully once again

In Indesign CS6 I export an artboard to TIFF with the sdk's funtion SnapshotUtilsEx- ExportImageToTIFF(iStream) and, the resulting file is one pixel too large in the X, leaving a transparent strip on one edge. Any idea if there is a bug in the sdk?

An easy example to prove this bug of Indesing CS6: I create a psd with Photoshop CS6, with width 505 pixels, height 317 pixels and a resolution of 300 pixels per inch. This psd is placed on a page in InDesign CS6. Then I try to export it as a tiff with the functions:
fSnapshotUtilsEx->Draw(flags,fullResolutionGraphics,greekBelowPtSize,enableAntiAliasing,tr ansparencyQuality,abortCheck,pVPAttrMap,bDrawNonPrintingObjects);
and
SnapshotUtilsEx-> ExportImageToTIFF (iStream)
The resulting tiff has a width of 506 pixels (one pixel more in width). It will happen the same if we start with a width of 507 pixels, etc.
This error does not occur with Indesign CS5, nor Indesing CC.

InDesign CS6 Spell Check

I cannot find a spell check anywhere in inDesign CS6. I have checked all drop down menus and sub menus and preferences and there is no mention of spell check anywhere.

Comment utiliser seulement le «.» lorsqu'on exporte un document dans InDesign CS6

Lorsque je veux exporter un document de plusieurs pages dans Indesign CS6 en jpg, je veux utiliser le .jpg, et rien écrire avant. Une fenêtre apparaît me disant : Les noms débutant par un point «.» sont réservés au système.
Lorsque je travaillais sur le CS5, je pouvais le faire, maintenant c'est impossible. Quelqu'un peut m'aider ? Lorsqu'on a un 60 pages où il faut enlever tous les «0» mis à cause de ce détail, c'est très long.
Merci !

Je travaille avec Mac et je pouvais le faire avec le CS5 ...
Moi aussi je travaille sur Mac et j'ai toutes les versions de CS à CS6… Comme je le disais dans ma réponse, c'est le système qui empêche que le nom d'un fichier commence par un point.
Voici la version d'InDesign que j'ai utilisée pour tester…
en essayant de nommer les fichiers de cette façon…
et voici le message d'erreur que j'obtiens :
Ce sont des numéros de pages de journal que j'exporte en jpg. Voilà pourquoi j'ai besoin de chiffre de 01 à 60.... et non de 001 à 060 !
Là, je ne comprends plus ! À aucun moment dans votre question, vous ne mentionnez le fait que vous voulez nommer vos exports de cette manière.
Je viens de refaire un test, en conservant le nom du fichier InDesign d'origine. J'obtiens ceci : nomdufichier.jpg, puis nomdufichier2.jpg, et ce jusqu'à 60, mais pas de « 0 » supplémentaire ; c'est peut-être lié à la version d'OS que vous utilisez.
Ensuite, on peut utiliser Bridge pour renommer les fichiers par lot, ce qui permet aussi de retirer le « 0 » qui vous gêne.
