Contact Sheet for InDesign CS4 Available now

There has been a significant discussion on the lack of a Contact Sheet for InDesign in CS4.
I have written and, a few minutes ago, released a CS4 version on my site: www.creativescripting.net

There's something going on with the system if the profile check is taking two hours. How much free space is left on the hard drive?
Is there some sort of minimum-required configuration you can boot to, similar to running MSconfig in XP and turning off startup programs and non-Microsoft services? It really sounds like there is still something running in the background that is conflicting. You are certain that anti-virus is not running? I'd also be sure that no browser toolbars are loaded, nor any instant messenger or music programs, and have a local printer, rather than a network printer, set as the default and online.

Image sequence for contact sheets in Bridge CS4

I have been used to Contact Sheet in Photoshop but am now trying the Output option in Bridge. How can I change the order the photos appear on the sheet? Most are landscape format but a few are portrait and I would like to have the portrait format images all together and I don't see a way to effect what photos go where on the sheet. Is there a way? I also could only see the first of the two contact sheets. I'm sure there is an obvious way to review all but I haven't discovered how.
Thanks.

The preview in Bridge is limited to conserve resources. To see the whole thing, save the file and look at it.
You can always quickly redo it if you want to make changes.
Drag the thumbnails in the content pane to change the order.

Trying to create a contact sheet for passport photos....HELP!

Aperture 3 and iMac are both new to me and after a lot of research, I finally figured out how to make a contact sheet for my passport photo so that I don't have to pay 10.00 for a measly 2x2 photo at Walgreen's. I went to file>print>selected the 8x10 borderless size and adjusted the picture so that I would be able to print 20 2x2 photos on one sheet. PERFECT....but....I don't really want to print it myself ( I don't have any photo paper right now )...I want to SAVE the image I created and upload it to Walgreen's so that they can print it. Then, I will cut out the 2x2 photo that I need. The only problem right now is that I cannot figure out how to SAVE the image to my computer, either in iPhoto or Aperture 3. If anyone knows, can you please help me out with this. OR if there is another way to create the image in another area of Aperture 3 I would like to know how!
Thanks for any help you can provide

Once in print after you have the layout you want select the Print button. This will bring up the system print window (not actually print the image yet).
At the bottom of the new window is a button PDF select that. From that pulldown you can elect to save the print image as a pdf or better yet for your need you can save as a JPG (or TIFF)
Once you have it saved as a JPG you can upload to Walgreen;s

Contact sheet for all pages in a book

In the Bridge there is a command to make a contact sheet for an InDesign document. Is there a way to make a contact sheet for all the documents in a book at the same time?

You may be able to do that with JavaScript (check the scripting forum for help there). Otherwise, I think I remember such in the preflight options. At least worth a check.

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).

Slow installation for indesign CS4 trial

I have downloaded the trial issue for indesign cs4 and try to install it on my PC, it is really slow, it is about 10 hours now and the install progression is only at "Adobe Output Module", it is about 25% of the total installation if I look at progress bar.
My computer is an Acer Aspire 7720, Intel core duo, cpu 2 GHz, RAM 3 Go and 250 Go of Hard drive.
I have followed the instruction to disabled the Antivirus program and Firewall too. So how to speed up this install, it is the first time I encountered that kind of problem.

Do you have hindi fonts for InDesign CS4 and if so how much are they?

Do you have hindi fonts for InDesign CS4 and if so how much are they?

Adobe does offer a few Unicode fonts that support Hindi I'd expect that you'd be asking for Devanagari fonts, though. Have you ever done any Hindi typesetting? I mean, when we typeset English we don't do it in "English fonts" but in "Latin-script fonts."
There are two main classes of Devanagari fonts - the more common, older fonts where someone took a Latin-script font, erased the characters, and replaced them with Devanagari glyphs, versus contemporary Unicode fonts. The first class are wonky, hard to use, and quite common. If you're in-country you will find lots of ways to buy those kinds of fonts. You also can use them in InDesign without needing any scripts or plugins to turn on the World-Ready Composer. I find Unicode fonts to be much easier to use, to automatically compose according to proper rules regarding behavior of glyphs - but to use them in CS4, you'd need something like World Tools or IndicPlus. I'm a World Tools user myself but if you're going to be doing only Hindi work in CS4, I'd suggest that you look at IndicPlus first.
In short - it's deeper than it looks. If you want to tell us more about what you're trying to do, we might be able to give you better advice.

Trying to load my Photoshop CS3 onto new Mac Book Air. Why does it ask for InDesign CS4 part way through?

Loading my Photoshop CS3 onto new Mac Book Air. Why does it ask for InDesign CS4 part way through? I have a CS5.5 disc. Will suffice?

that doesn't make sense. you will only be prompted for earlier adobe versions when installing a latter upgrade version.
double check your versions.
also, you might want to clean your computer before retrying to install, Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

Looking for a way to create Contact Sheets in InDesign CS5..

I am looking for an easy way to make a Contact Sheet template in InDesign CS5, I am wondering can it be done using Live Captions? What I essentially want to do is create a page with a grid, say 3 across 3 down, and be able to simply import the photos, and have the photo's name appear below it.
Thanks in advance for your reply,
Sebastian

Installed CS4 and it doesn't have the Contact Sheet for Photoshop

It was under "Tools - Photoshop" and it isn't there. I also don't have it in the Photoshop Automate either. Anyone have the same problem.

Use the Output module. I hated it as first, now wonder how I managed with the old contact sheet.
Make sure to run Updater to get latest Output module with more options.

Contact sheets for PSE9...help please. :)

At my office the last version we had was PSE2....Gasp!! The contact sheets were so simple and I've tried and tried to figure out how to do them in Photoshop Elements 9 to no avail. For example, I want to print 10 images (all contained in one folder on our server) - 2 per page. Please please help. I am amazed at how much we relied on that function. Thank you!

As an alternative, you can create your own template:
Open a new, blank file (File>new>blank file) and set width & height in the inch size of your paper stock (5x7" for example)), resolution 300px/in, background white (can be any color)
Access the rectangular marquee tool, and in the the tool's option bar select "Fixed size", and put in 3.00x2.25", for example. Turn on the grid and snap to grid via View>grid & snap to grid. You can configure the grid via Edit>preferences>Guides and grids if you want to.
Duplicate the background layer, and create the first box by clicking with the rectangular marquee tool. Position the box, then fill it with 50% gray (Edit>fill selection, and under contents select 50% gray.) Select>deselect gets rid of the marching ants
Repeat for the next box. You should now have a document containing two rectangular boxes filled with 50% gray.
Select the first box that you wish to fill (with the picture) with the magic wand tool. On the tool's option bar be sure that contiguous is checked. You should see "marching ants" around the selection, indicating that it is active.
Open picture 1, go to Select>all, Edit>copy, then go to your layout as completed in step #5, and Edit>paste into selection
Your image will be larger that the rectangular box, but you can drag it around to position the person that you wish to display. CTRL+T will allow you to resize the image with the corner handles, and to maneuver it
Repeat for picture 2 with the 2nd box

Where can I find a download for Indesign CS4 6.0 WIN?

We are a charity organisation and during the office move, it appears that we have lost the CD which may have recieved at the time.
Having spoken to Tech Support at Adobe, they recommend that I put this on the forum as there is no download available for this version.
We have a certificate from Adobe showing that we purchased InDesign CS4 6.0 WIN AOO License[removed by moderator].
Can someone let me know if and where I can download InDesign so that we can use our license serial number.
Thanks

As usual, the outsourced support from India was incorrect.
You can download the CS4 installers from Download CS4 products. Be sure you pick the product and platform that match your license.

Where is Contact Sheet II in CS4?

Just upgraded to CS4 and cannot find Contact Sheet II under File>Automate. Went back to my old CS and pulled up the feature only to find out that when I went under Source Images> Folders>Choose... the chosen folder has all the photos grayed out.I'm on a MacBook Pro.
Help requested.

Ann-
I am aware that one can still create Contact Sheets, which is why I referenced
removing existing
UI
functionality rather than simply stating Contact Sheet functionality was removed. Removing an existing simple step and making one learn a new way or go find out about a plugin is by definition a
loss of existing UI functionality.
Such changes are negatives for some upgraders, and add to the high price as reasons to stick with CS3. Note that all the other new methods could have been added without removing the established method.

Shared Content InDesign Plugin for InDesign CS4 won't open file

Yesterday I discontinued using Adobe CC and went back to using my Adobe InDesign CS4. CS4 is working OK but there is ONE file that won't open. I get the message "Shared Content InDesign Plugin is currently not available on your system". The file will not open. Is there a workaround or how do I get the required plugin?

You get that error when the file was saved in CS5 or later. You can find out the version using the script at Adobe Forums: [Ann] Identify Your InDesign File.
You'll need to export the file to .idml from the newer version to be able to open it in CS4. This is something I normally offer to do, but I'm not available for at least a week, so perhaps one of our other regulars can step up and volunteer.

Preview contact sheets for CC?

Is there any way that previewing what a contact sheet will look like in Photoshop can be enabled? Like when you go to bridge, select the images then go to "Tools < Photoshop < Contact Sheet II" then in the Contact Sheet options there used to be a little "preview" box. Well at least it used to exist, but it might have been phased out, I don't really follow the changes in the updates much.
Thanks in advance,
Me

No. CantactSheetII has changed over the years. It use to have features like Picture Package, layout and previews and bugs. It was a compiled program. Now a days Contact sheet has been re-implemented using Photoshop Scripting. Script are not compiled programs they are interpreted as they are executed. Script run slower the compiled code so some features like layout previews would be painfully slow not useful imo. Picture Package IMO is a bigger lost then preview layouts. Adobe I believe dropped Contactsheet what we have today is thanks to X. He will be maintaining ContactSheeII script for some time how long that time will be has not been made known.
