CS4 Indesign crashes when sending to print on Mavericks OS 10.9.1?

Does anyone know of a fix for this?
Thanks,
EH

Thanks for your response everyone.
First: My installation was a full install on a new Mac Book pro on OS 10,9.1.
(The installation was from an upgrade, but as a full version).
—I had updated to Java 1.6.0_65
—And had updated to the latest version of Adobe Drive.
—And had run all of the Adobe CS4 updates after installation.
i verified through my HP desktop printer vendor that there wasn't a problem with the printer connection or printer.
Then I worked with an Apple tech to troubleshoot this problem approaching it as a problem with the operating system. It proved not to be the Mavericks operating system but an Adobe software update problem.
I was also at the same time having a problem with Acrobat requesting entry of the Admin password each time before it would open.
I noticed that Acrobat had not updaed to the latest version of 9.5.5 in the install.
I mentioned this to the Apple tech and he researched Adobe's site to locate the sequential updates for Acrobat 9.0 to 9.5.5.
This problem ceased oddly enough when I corrected this problem with Adobe Acrobat requiring a password each time to open.
In order to stop Acrobat from requesting the Admin password, I manually downloaded and installed from Adobe's site every Acrobat update in order from 9.0 to 9.5.5.
The problem with Acrobat stopped early on in the updates, but returned again in one of the later updates. It disappeared altogether after continuing with the sequential updates to 9.5.5 and Acrobat 9.5.5 is functioning beautifully. Also the automatic software update in Acrobat was not functioning in 9.0 from inside of Acrobat. But after doing all of the updates that feature is available. However 9.5.5 is the last update for Acrobat 9.
I then was able to run an update for InDesign CS4 from the InDesign automatic software update feature and now InDesign is printing without crashing.
I also with disk utility verified and repaired disk permissions after all of the updates were completed.
here's the link for the Acrobat updates
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Macintosh
It worked for my situation and I hope this helps others with a similar problem.
You might make sure that there aren't any issues with printing from your desktop printer vendor and the Apple operating side first.

Indesign crashes when clicking on print options

indesign cs6 crashes when clicking on printer or page setup within the print options. OS 10.7.4

Peter,
Yes, I can bring up the Paragraph Styles and the Character palettes with no document open, edit the [Basic Paragraph] style to change the font family, then open a blank document, and new text boxes will use that font.
I'm on a bit of a deadline right now, so I ended up uninstalling ID CS5 and reinstalling it. I can now successfully bring up the Edit menu and the right-click context menu both in a blank document and in the document I was working on before. I'm sure the problem will reappear again at some random point in the future, so I am still looking for fixes that don't involve reinstalling the app.
BTW, I have tried exporting my work document to IDML and re-importing it, but to no avail. I've also tried toggling Dynamic Spelling (past threads have suggested this as a possible fix), but also to no avail.
It would be really nice if Adobe products produced some sort of crash dump or bug report when this sort of thing happens...

Adobe InDesign crashes when trying to print

I use Adobe CS4 regularly. I could print fine from all apps in CS4 until yesterday when I tried to print from InDesign CS4 and the app crashed. All other apps in CS4 print fine, as do all other apps. I've attempted to create a new print preset and also tried to edit the printer default, but InDesign crashes every time. Has this happened to anyone else?
The only things I've done differently (or new) was to test a new antivirus app (Anti-Virus Software for Mac Protection | Kaspersky Lab United States) and also to download and try out the new Firefox 11. I also created a couple of pdf files in InDesign (as I've done dozens of times with no problems).
The printer is an Epson all-in-one WorkForce 630, and I have confirmed that I'm using the latest drivers. I've done restarts and shutdowns. Nothing seems to help, and only InDesign CS4 seems to be affected.
ANY help would be greatly appreciated...and thanks in advance for your input.

Forgot to mention that I can still create pdf files using the CS4 presets, and can also continue to work on files and save them but the only way to print is by creating a pdf file and printing that.

InDesign Crash when attempting to Print

I have recently purchased an iMac running System 10.9.4. Installed InDesign, PhotoShop and Illustrator CS3. PhotoShop and Illustrator are running without problem. InDesign runs fine until I hit the "Print" button at which time the App crashes and the Problem Report appears. Report indicates that the crashed thread is com.apple.main-thread. Likewise, if attempt to run the Adobe Updater, it crashes and similar Problem Report appears. I did a clean uninstall of InDesign using MacKeeper, then reinstalled InDesign. Results were the same. What is my next step in tryiig to solve the problem?

CS3 was never designed to run on 10.9 and has never been officially tested or supported on that OS. You may never get it to print. Export to PDF instead and print from Acrobat or Reader.

Indesign crashes when Exporting a Print PDF

Has anyone had problems with Exporting Print PDF from Indesign CC?
I can do an interactive one, but not print.
No. It is not the file I am trying to print. I have tried a brand new one with nothing in it as well.

I believe "PrintFusion45" recommends you to use lower resolution (resized) copies of your original TIFFs in your Indesign document.
You can have a look at the "effective ppi" in the "link info" window for a selected image, and compare it with the intended print resolution (in your case perhaps the image downsampling setting in the pdf export).
If you intend to create a pdf using 300 ppi downsampling for the images, and the effective ppi of an image in the document is 1000 ppi (which could be the result if you rezise a large image to a small area in InDesign), then InDesign will have much more data to process, than using an image that already has the same ppi as the intended output.
There is of course the downside of keeping more than one original image, just to get the InDesign documents "lighter" and faster to print.
I hope this makes things a bit clearer.

Programs Illustrator CS3 and InDesign crash when trying to print documents.

I am unable to print any documents created in either program on my HP printer. I've reinstalled the Creative Suite 3 as well as the HP printer. I have tried to update adobe but it says I'm not connected to the internet and I am. I upgraded to system 10.9.4 a while ago. Anyone know what I can do to resolve this.
Thanks Julie53

InDesign crashes when printing

Using InDesignCS2 4.0 on a MacBookPro OS 10.6.8.
InDesign crashes when I hit "print" on all documents, so it looks like it's not corrupt data in the document. As a workaround, I can export to a pdf and print, but now need to add printer's marks, which can only be done through "print."
I've re-installed the program from the original disk.
Thoughts?
-- Jerry Monaghan

Is this an installation on a computer you've just acquired? Or did it work before on this particular computer?
There is a mismatch between your InDesign version which came out in May 2005, and Mac OS X 10.6, which came out in 2009. InDesign CS2 was designed for a much earlier version of Mac OS X 10.2.8 to 10.3.8. Apple often makes OS changes which makes features in much earlier software versions not work.
You're lucky to have a workaround to be able to print via PDF files.

When I save a CS6 InDesign file as an .idml file InDesign crashes and sends a report to Adobe.

When I save a CS6 InDesign file as an .idml file InDesign crashes and sends a report to Adobe.
When I restart InDesign the .idml file is in the directory as well as a locked InDesign file.
I cannot open the .idml file, instead I get the message:
Cannot open "" file. Adobe InDesign maynot support the file format,
a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing,
or the file may be open in another location.
I can however open an InDesign .idml file that was saved from InDesign CC software.
InDesign CC software is also unable to open the .idml file that I created in CS6.

It seems to be a corrupted IDML file. Does it happen with every file or only with that one.
What is the content of that file? Did you embed images or graphics or did you ink them? Size?
Maybe that this would help you: Re: InDesign 6 is crashing when attempting to open a particular document. All others are opening OK.

PP CS4 Crashes when sending to Media Encoder

I've used PP CS4 since it came out, have had no problems like this. I have spoke to the techs at Adobe really no help they do a bunch of stuff and the next time I use it crashes. PPro crashes when sending to Media Encoder if it gets to Media Encoder in time I can still render the file I've sent. There's only one thing I can think of that could be causing this I use an external drive and it nearly full I'm getting a 2T and coping over to there is there a possiblity that the drive that only has 3 gigs left could be causiing this?
Or do you think it's something else?

This is my solution to the crashing start Media Encoder before exporting from Premiere Pro CS4 I've had no problem since. It has something to do with the exporting the fonts or that's what come up in the crash report. I hope this is a remedy for those that experance this problem.

I've already tried reinstalling and that worked few a few days but now continues to crash.

Matt,
Did you reinstall using the full three step way?
Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

Indesign crashes when printing osx 10.8

Adobe Indesign crahes when you hit PRINT, reading on the internet, discussions say show hidden files, go to Libriary, Printer and remove certain PPDs, but when I look in Libriary/Printer all that is in there is my Epson printer, any suggestions please

The PPDs are associated with the printer. I guessing what you read is saying the print drivers are supposedly corrupt somehow. Doesn't make much sense to me if all other applications print okay.
Do you have a PPD plugin that is Adobe?

Indesign crashes when I try and open my document

I created a file in Indesign which represents many days of work.
It crashed indesign when I was pdf'ing the document and now it crashes indesign every time I try to open it.
It is my only version.
I have tried many ways to open it but nothing has worked - can you help?
I've just realised that now - Indesign crashes when I try and open any document!
Thanks very much
NB Someone suggested I send it to Adobe and they may be able to fix it, but I can't find a contact email to send it to.

You need to empty the InDesign Recovery folder (which is hidden in your user profile/library). You can find the path to InDesign SavedData in this link: Replace Your Preferences and the recovery folder should be in the same folder with the InDesign SavedData file.
Once the recovery folder is empty you should be able to launch ID, then try opening the file. If it wasn't damaged while writing it back to disk it will be fine, in the last previously saved state.
