Creative Suite CS2 InDesign Freeze Up During PDF Export
Help anyone?
Why does my InDesign CS2 sometimes freeze up when I am trying to export to a pdf? I then have to do a 'Force Quit' and retry.
When I am trying to make a pdf in InDesign, I select >File >Export and export to pdf with 'press high res' setting and then it just
'spools' and freezes. I may have to restart my computer a couple times and then it exports fine into a pdf.
I am on a Mac Pro, Intel Xeon, 2.66GHz, 512 MB memory, Hard drive: 700 GB.
What's the solution?
More RAM, more RAM, more RAM. It's necessary to have a minimum of 2 GB to get anything done with the more recent versions of OSX.

InDesign CS4 crashes during PDF export
Computer is a Dell laptop that operates on Windows XP Professional. I am putting together our image- and text-heavy company newsletter. I have been able to export as Press-Quality PDF withing the past week or two. I made a change today and now get an error when I try to export to PDF (Press Quality, 4 pages, spreads, all marks, full bleeds). I've been able to isolate the problem to pages 3 & 4, since I can export pages 1 & 2 without any issue but cannot export either 3 or 4 seperately, or together in a spread. I've tried the save-as-INX-and-reopen trick to no avail. I've tried saving it onto my local drive, rather than the network drive it was on before. Still crashes at the same point.
The error I get says that "InDesign.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. If you were in the middle of something, the information you were working on might be lost. For more information about this error, click here." And I have the option to "Debug" or "Close." When I click the "click here" link at the end of the sentence, I get a window with the following info:
"Error Signature
AppName: indesign.exe AppVer:6.0.0.352 ModName:transparency.rpln
ModVer: 6.0.0.352 Offset: 0006f14d
To view technical information about the error report, click here."
And if I click on that "click here" link, I get a very long window of "Error Report Contents" that I cannot copy-paste, and would probably take me a good hour to retype here.
Any thoughts? I do have several transparencies on page 3, and a gradient stroke on an object that spans both 3 & 4. All links have been embedded and prior to embedding showed no signs of warnings or issues. Links include JPEGs, Photoshop files, and Illustrator files.Finally found the troublemaker!!! You were right. I deleted all links, and it exported the PDF just fine. I went back and tried deleting single links at a time and found the one that, when deleted, everything else exported to PDF just fine. I opened that JPEG in Photoshop and cropped it to the exact size I needed, since I hadn't done this before, resaved under a new name, put it back in my InDesign file and everything just exported beautifully.
HUUUUGE sigh of relief over here. THANK YOU!
And next time I will bypass the wasted morning of pulling out hair and running in circles, and just come straight here. -
InDesign CS6 crashes during PDF export
I have been attempting to export a magazine design to PDF using the dialogue in InDesign CS6 (for Mac). The PDF gets to around 90% in the background tasks panel and crashes every time. I have removed preferences, reinstalled InDesign, upgraded to Suitcase Fusion 4 and am still having problems. I have even tried printing as a .ps file and it crashes during that as well. A few weeks ago I had a similar problem but found that I was opening CS5 .indd files and not resaving them as CS6 .indd files before exporting. Once I resaved/renamed them in CS6 it appeared to fix the problem. Now I can't seem to fix this one. I have exported other files and it works fine. I even packaged the .idml file and a colleague of mine opened it up in CS5.5 and was able to export it. I thought it might have something to do with corrupt fonts but I disabled all fonts and still couldn't get it to export. Any help or advice would be much appreciated as I am on a deadline. Here is the code from my latest crash report: http://pastebin.com/mRCLsYti
Appears to have something to do with this thread but I have no clue what is going on here...

Note: Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard & Adobe Creative Suite CS2
Hello,
here is an important note for Apple & Adobe business users who are using the Adobe Creative Suite CS2 package for their daily workflow.
http://www.adobe.com/go/leopardfaq
<--- quote from Adobe --->
Question: Will older versions of Adobe creative software—such as Creative Suite 2 and Macromedia Studio 8 software—support Mac OS X Leopard?
Answer (Adobe): While older Adobe applications may install and run on Mac OS X Leopard, they were designed, tested, and released to the public several years before this new operating system became available. You may, therefore, experience a variety of installation, stability, and reliability issues for which there is no resolution. Older versions of our creative software will not be updated to support Mac OS X Leopard. ...
<--- Quote from Adobe --->
In clear words. If an application of the Adobe Creative Suite CS2 package does not work properly under Mac OS X Leopard, you might notice several issues such as bugs, crashes and other incompatibility problems.
So, in the end this means:
" Dear Apple & Adobe user. Use Mac OS X 10.5 on your own risk. "
graphically & sincerely,
" Innovation is good. Too much innovation in a short period of time is becoming counterproductive. "

Creative Suite CS2 thinks Photoshop already installed
During the install of Creative Suite CS2, I keep getting the message that Photoshop is already installed. It has been uninstalled and I have deleted all folders left in the program files directory and all folders in documents and settings. I have also used a registry cleaner that removed all "obsolete program" entries referencing photoshop. I have seen that adobe has a cleanup tool for CS3 and above, but have not found anything for CS2. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.
The windows install cleanup tool resolved this issue.

I have downloaded & installed adobe creative suit cs2 version 6 but when I click the icon of adobe photoshop in desktop it is not opened & giving message " this application has failed to start because " ausba4.dll " was not found. reinstalling of the application may fix the problem " I have reinstall & opened many times but even then it is not opened. Please guide me accordingly.
I'd try disabling the Twain_32.8BA plugin in
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS2\Plug-Ins\Import-Export
You can disable the plugin by putting an ~ (tilde) in front of the name or moving the plugin to your desktop.
Then try photoshop cs2 and see if you still get the error message.
I suspect the error has to do with your scanner driver, since photoshop cs2 does not have an ausba4.dll -

Hi I've just upgraded my MacBook Pro from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. Now my installed programs:- Quarkxpress 6.5 - Adobe creative suite CS2 - Adobe Acrobat 7.0 professional and Microsoft Office 2004 will not open - I get a banner saying not supported by power mac. Can anyone please help me I really need these programs for my work. Thank you!
hi tuggerose
i think it is bad new for you. if it's any consilation i went through the same thing when i loaded mountain lion when it first came out. i think the problem is that mountain lion is a pure 64bit operating system and the software you have is 32bit. earlier os's were able to emulate 32bit but the new system does not. the answer is new software. i did it and it cost me a load of money and much angst so your not alone. -

How do I fix Creative Suite CS2 reinstall with error message "Missing or Invalid Personalization Inf
How do I fix Creative Suite CS2 reinstall on same Windows 7 Pro machine, with error message "Missing or Invalid Personalization Information / Missing Resources Library" when I attempt to reinstall from installation disk set? Was having trouble with Adobe Acrobat Pro 8; Uninstalled and am now stuck. You can email me if you like at [email protected] Thank you.
Hi Bill:
I don't remember deactivating (after my XP PRO harddrive scattered)
when I did the first Windows 7 pro install of these programs and it went
fairly well except AA8 was a little problematic when converting from MS
Word.
In my case the AA8 came with a Studio 8 suite of programs as follows:
1) A Studio 8 installation disk
2) A Creative Suite CS2 Premium set of installation disks.
3) A Creative Suite 2.3 Premium upgrade disk with AA8
I uninstalled AA8 and when I tried reinstallation the directions
said to do the Creative Suite CS2 Premium set of installation disks
first followed by the Creative Suite 2.3 Premium upgrade disk with AA8.
Now I'm stuck; What a mess.
Thanks for trying to help.
I will do as you suggest and go to

If you got it from https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=cs2_downloads (which is the only one which now works) then you also need to enter the serial number provided on that page. -

Creative Suite 6, InDesign saying Library is corrupt. How do I restore?
You will have to connect ot iTunes in order to reinstall iOS 6.1. Or you can try using the iPhone settings. Tab Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings which should force the phone into recovery mode and begin a download of iOS. You will need a solid WiFi connection, and I suggest you keep the phone connected to the AC charger.

Often you have to start by using the Adobe Cleaner tool first to remove all the Adobe applications:
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
Then do your reinstallation.
