CS3 Illustrator and InDesign conflict
I can open Illustration App but I can NOT save files or open previously saved files (beachball)
If I re-install - everything works OK until I close Illy and then Open InDesign and work with that then close that and try to Open an Illustrator file. (Again with the beachball) I tried trashing prefs, resetting permissions, even tried it with no Illustrator plug-ins
On a G5 Mac lots of Ram
If anotehr user account works, then it could be a font or some other corruption in the OS. Easiest, best solution, is to archive and install the OS.

CS3 - Illustrator and InDesign quits when trying to print
Hi.
I have posted this on the Illustrator forum as well.
I have just bought a new iMac i7 running OSX 10.7.2. I have reinstalled my version of CS3 and I can open all elements - Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign.
The problem I am having is that Illustrator and InDesign quit when I try to print. It happens when I use 'command P' and when I go through the file menu. Photoshop doesn't quit when printing.
I can make PDFs of the files and I can print those (although sometimes the PDF won't print through my RIP software).
OS is updated to the latest version. All printer software and RIP is the latest version. InDesign also quit a couple of thimes when I was just selecting a line of type. i
It did it a few times when selecting the same line. I restarted the Mac and all seems OK with that now but I still can't print.
Can anyone shed any light onto this? I tried Adobe and they don't support CS3 any more and their Technical Department suggetsed I try this forum.
I don't want the expense of upgrading my CS3 at the moment.
Thanks
RogerI have had a reply on the Illustrator forum and it has worked for me.

CS3 Illustrator and Indesign problems
I am still using CS3 and have recently reinstalled (uninstalled from old comp) onto a new computer with double the capacity - now 8GB 64 bit OS Wind 7 Prof. Since it has been on the new computer both Illustrator and Indesign close down on opening. Indesign I haven't been able to use successfully, but I am using Illustrator, slowly and patiently. The message on Indesign is basically the same each time, 'No virtual memory, free up memory' or similar. Illustrator opens asking to relink/replace all images & graphic, but closes down each time I try to relink through this prompt. What I do is 'ignore' and then manually relink. This seems to work for awhile, then goes into 'Illustrator Not Responding' will either freeze or close down, either way I loose what I have just done.
What can the problem be, apart from it being CS3, no use saying I need to upgrade, because the company will not do that. Do I need to download a patch or update etc. Help, getting a little impatient with it all.
Cheers
DonnaShort answer: CS3 is not tested and not certified to run on Win 7. Therefore, at the riosk of sounding rude, as far as Adobe is concerned, your problems are your own. There are no patches or magic buttons to push. All you can hope is to maximize compatibility by turning off UAC, using compatibility mode for Win XP, running with admin privileges and so on. Talk to your IT department/ person. If you can provide exact system info and the crash details, we may be able to advise further.

Problems installing Illustrator and Indesign from CS3 suite
I am trying to install Illustrator and Indesign from CS3 suite. Previously I had been running a trial version on my Mac, and now am trying to install the suite from the original install discs. I have gone through the process of uninstalling all of the Adobe programs and then reinstalling. When the install disc loads up and I get to the point where it lists the programs to install, in the top box Illustrator and Indesign are listed as already being installed and have no option to install them. When I search my computer there are no Illustrator or Indesign applications. I am able to reinstall the rest of the suite and it seems to work fine but can't seem to figure out what step I'm missing as far as reinstalling Illustrator and Indesign are concerned.
I haven't tried doing it on Vista but I would recommend looking for
Adobe clean up programs. The problem I had was that the computer had
a trial version and then I tried to install the full version and it
wouldn't let me install illustrator because there were some random
illustrator files that conflicted with the installation process. I
ran clean up program and it removed all adobe files. Then I
reinstalled photoshop. Before you start running clean up programs
make sure you back everything up. Good luck -
Illustrator and Indesign wont install when installing Creative Suite 4
Im trying to install just photoshop, illustrator and Indesign on my laptop from the CS4 master collection. When I tried to custom install I wasnt able to "check" Illustrator or Indesign so I tried installing the complete suite and it still didnt install those two. I have an HP I-7 running windows 7 and I have plenty of ram and I changed my screen resolution as recommended. Im not sure why it wont let me install these two programs but installed everything else. Please help!

Printing problem with Epson R290 Illustrator and inDesign
I am running CS2 on Leopard and have recently purchased an Epson R290. The first time I used it with Illustrator and InDesign it worked fine but now whenever I print anything it prints a tiny version (about a sixth of the real size) of the design in the top left corner of the page. It does this both with new documents and old ones that used to print ok.
Since I posted the message about this problem I have discovered that it can be worked around by choosing a higher quality print. ie if you choose plain paper when printing from Illustrator or InDesign the printer prints a reduced size image but if you choose Ink jet mat or glossy the print comes out fine. I don't have this problem with Photoshop but that may be that I always print high quality from that application. I don't use Appleworks Draw so don't know whether this solves the problem for that application but iWork documents print ok.

Hi there
This Mac is quite new and was originally a migration (using Migration Assistant) from an older Mac.
Illustrator and InDesign in CS5 were both crashing often and most of the time it's when placing an image (in either application) – it doesn't crash each time I try to place an image, but 90% of the crashes are when placing an image.
We tried lots of things, like cleaning out the fonts, clearing font caches etc. After several months of that, we decided to wipe the Mac clean and start from scratch. It has been reformatted with a clean install of the OS and only minimal additional software added. Although quite a few fonts have been reinstalled, they all validate in Font Book.
One other thing of note is that the Adobe Updater fails to complete an update and so we have had to update each application manually from the Adobe website.
I would be so grateful someone could help shed some light on what is going on. Here's an EtreCheck report. Can also provide crash reports from the Console if useful.
Thanks!

Thanks in advance. Any ideas gratefully received – I've run out!
ps. I have 10 colleagues with same OS version and CS5 (some even have the exact same model of Mac). They don't have this issue.Thanks, I will do.

Adobe Illustrator and InDesign Error code 16 - Help!!!!
I installed Adobe Illustrator and InDesign on Windows 8.1. They worked great until I closed the programs and tried to open them up again. I now get the error code 16. I re-installed several times now and each time I close either one of the programs and reopen, I get the same error code 16. I've done a clean uninstall and re-install and I've followed the procedures about ensuring that file permissions were correct. No luck.
Please Help!!!!!!

hi, is there some kind of package we can buy that would include only photoshop, illustrator and indesign?
The Cloud Complete membership would be the cheapest option.

thank you.
ok, but is there a way to customize which applications you would like to download when purchasing the monthly package? For example, I could do the photography option but that only comes with Photoshop and Lightroom. I'd also like to have Illustrator and InDesign. So what should I do to only get those 4?
