currently i am working in InDesign CS5.5 version 7.5
i am working on a project that requires working with another person who is using the latest version of CC,
how will CC effect my current project and will i be able to share the file ?

It could be a one way trip.
There have been instances where your older version was more stable for CC as an exported idml.
Prior to ver 7 (?) text engines were occasionally updated which would cause text to reflow in later versions.

Help with importing PDF to Indesign CS5 trial version

Hello: I am in a bit of a quandry. I have numerous PDF's that I want to convert to Epub. I called Adobe and asked them what program I would need to do this and they said InDesign CS5 so I downloaded the trial version to check it out. The problem is, that in the trial version there is no "place" command, which is how I would import the PDF. So I am left unable to run a test with this software and don't want to buy a program that I can't confirm. Any ideas or work arounds would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Krista

The trial version of InDesign certainly does not have any features disabled. You should be able to place pages from a PDF file into an InDesign document.
File=>Place or Ctrl-D should yield a file dialog for you to select a file to place. Of course, you must already have opened an existing file or created a new file.

InDesign CS5 debug version?

Hi there,
I found an email address here: <http://www.adobe.com/devnet/indesign/indesign_faq.html> except when I tried to send an email to that address, the email came back with an error saying there's no such user.
Could someone please point me to the right direction?
Thank you all.

How do I open a PageMaker document in InDesign CS5?

When I try to open a PageMaker document with InDesign CS5 (Mac OSX 10.7.5) I get an error message that it "Cannot Open file.... Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format might be missing, or the file may be open in another application." It's certainly not open in another application anywhere, It is, indeed, a PageMaker document which is supposed to be supported. Before updating to current Mac OS, I used to be able to easily open this file with an old copy of PageMaker, but that no longer works on this OS!
Thank you!

Hi, Mike,
     I found another copy of this file on my laptop and I think it might not be broken. When I try to open it in text edit or Mellel, I get a much larger document with much of the material I know is supposed to be there. Would you be open to giving it one last shot? The new dropbox link is https://www.dropbox.com/s/12eqa6hh6tlse89/New%20Kabbalat%20Shabbat%20CBH (which, I know, looks like the old one, but I deleted that file and just uploaded this one).
     If you can open and save it (possible saving it in PM 6.5 or some other form I can than open with InDesign, or just sending me a pdf, I'd be very grateful.
     You can reach me at hlzeitlin AT aya DOT yale DOT edu. As thanks, enjoy the music on this link, https://www.dropbox.com/s/h1zix2ukzyt8ags/STE-90610-047.wav.
     Many thanks, Harry

InDesign CS5 won't install Mac OSX Mavericks

I am currently trying to re-install InDesign CS5 (part of CS5 Design Standard) on an iMac at work because of a problem it was having. I now can't get it to install at all on the mac. I have tried from both the original DVD and from the download from the adobe website.
I have updated the Java but no success with that.
I have uninstalled the whole suite and re-installed but Indesign is the only application that fails.
This is the error I am getting:

Line alignment issue in InDesign CS5

Hi all,
After many fruitless hours of Googling, I'm really, really hoping to find some help here with a small InDesign CS5 issue I'm having. I'll try and keep this brief.
I'm currently designing a book in InDesign CS5 that has chapters that run one after the other. Whereas in most books a new chapter will start on a new page, here they flow together. For each chapter heading, I'm using a font called Orial, size 18. For the main text, I'm using Adobe Garamond Pro, size 12. When I have two solid pages of 12 point Adobe Garamond Pro, all is well. The alignment of lines on both pages are level with one another. That's just what I want.
However, if I have a double page spread and one of the pages has an 18pt Orial title on it (within all the 12pt Adobe Garamond Pro), this throws things out of whack, as you can see in the image below:
As you can see, the lines on page 79 are not level with those on page 78. Is there any way around this?
Many, many thanks for any help you can offer. I'm rather tearing my hair out here!

You'd have better luck posting this in the InDesign forum. However, I'll tell you right off the bat: what you want is "Snap to Baseline Grid." If you check out the help files on the baseline grid, you'll see that you have a lot of options (some of which are in Edit -> Preferences -> Grids). Read the help files, or just try searching Google with the name of the feature, then try it out, and come to the InDesign forum if there are parts of this feature that don't make sense to you.

Aligning lines between pages in InDesign CS5

Hm, I'm afraid I'm still encountering problems here. I'll talk through what I've done so far using Josh's excellent guide:
(I should note at the start that my text frames are all linked to one another, and I am using paragraph styles).
Firstly, I checked 'Grids in Back' was switched off (thanks ghf232):
Secondly, I turned on the following:
View -> Screen Mode -> Normal
View -> Extras -> Show Frame Edges
View -> Grids -> Show Baseline Grid
My document now looked like this:
Then I highlighted all text with Ctrl+A:
And next I hit the 'Align to baseline grid' button:
This resulted in the following:
Next, I went to Preferences -> Grids and changed 'Increment Every' option to 1.5:
Alas, the lines remained uneven:
I'm sure I'm missing something really obvious. If anybody couldhelp, I'd be hugely grateful. Thanks again all.

MenuActions not enabling in InDesign CS5.5

Hi Scripters,
InDesign CS4/CS5 is able to invoke menuActions using the below mentioned javascript code.
var myMenuAction = app.menuActions.item("$ID/Go to Item");
try {
    myMenuAction.invoke();
    }catch (err){exit();};
However when I use the same code in InDesign CS5.5 version, we are encountering "Action not enabled" error.
Note: Please select the required XML element from the Structure Panel before running this code.
Thanks & Regards
csm_phil

A related issue, perhaps. I am trying to toggle Menu options via script, to set a user environment. To make sure that Window->Tools is checked, this always works:
try {
     var myTools = app.menuActions.item("Tools").checked;
     catch (e) {}
if (myTools ==false) {
    try {
     app.menuActions.item("Tools").invoke();
     catch (e) {}
But I also want to toggle things that lack a checkmark, such as Hide Hidden Characters.
This returns different results depending on whether a document is open, and sometimes does not toggle the selection (Show/Hide) and returns different values for the .checked call.
try {
     var myHidden = app.menuActions.item("Hide Hidden Characters").checked;
     catch (e) {alert("Error"); }
if (myHidden ==false ) {
     try {
      app.menuActions.item("Hide Hidden Characters").invoke();
     catch(e) {}
Sometimes this returns false, sometimes undefined. I have done many iterations, also looking for ("Show Hidden Characters").checked
The original code was written for InCopy. Any menu item that is truly checked is easily controlled. The ones that toggle Show/Hide are a mess in both InCopy and InDesign.
Am I using the wrong syntax?

Indesign CS5 Crashes on Epub Export

I have used the epub export feature in Indesign CS5 successfully for several books. However I have one title that I have been trying to export for epub. It gets about 2/3 of the way through (as measured by the progress bar) and then Indesign crashes. I am wondering if there is a known issue and (hopefully) a work around. The book exports to PDF just fine.
Thanks for any advice,
Chuck

I have also had a crash on export problem recently. I went through the suggestions in this thread and searched others.
Then I stepped through a few things in my INDD.
Deleted the suspect page. Export worked.
Brought the page back. Export crashed.
Looked at all the text on the page. I had 4 boxes with bulleted text.
I converted the bullets to text and the export went ahead with no problem.
I turned the bulleted list back into a real bulleted list and the export crashed again.
Go figure.

Indesign cs5.5 out of memory error

Hi,
I am having constant problems with out of memory errors in indesign cs5.5 (version 7.5.3). I am on a mac. Everything is up to date, I have preflight off, my display performance is on typical view and have tried restarted my computer multiple times. I do not have any other programs open and the document I have open is 3 pages (8.5x11) with little content and a couple links to small images. I do not know what to do! This is affecting my job and my performance!! Please help!!! Thank you!

close the application
Rename the preferences from the following location
/Users/[User Name]/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign/Version #
/Users/[User Name]/Library/Caches/Adobe InDesign/Version [#]
then open a new document and then open the document you are facing an issue with it should clear the memory issue temporally
Alternate :
copy and paste the content in a new document and check if the 1st option does not work
PS : changing the folder name would reset the preferences
refer to KB : InDesign preferences and support file locations

InDesign CS5 Server SDK

Hi,
I notice that InDesign CS5 Server is available from the partner download area. However, I haven't been able to find the InDesign CS5 Server SDK; I've looked in the partner download area and also on http://www.adobe.com/devnet/indesign/sdk/index.html. That page has the CS4 Product SDK and the CS4 Server SDK but for CS5 it only has the Products SDK (which doesn't contain InDesignServerAPI.jar).
Where can I get the CS5 Server SDK, or whatever is required to compile Java programs that use InDesign CS5 Server? Is it released yet?
Thanks,
Francis

Thanks for that tip Harbs, I have regenerated the API, which produced an InDesignServerAPI.jar that I've been able to use to compile and run against CS5 Server. So I can get on with developing again now . However, it's inconvenient to have to regenerate just to be able to start Java development (and it would be worse if I was using Windows because I'd need to buy Visual Studio, fortunately all the tools needed for regeneration on Mac OS X are free).
Also there are some very useful documents included in the CS4 Server SDK that aren't in the CS5 Products SDK, for example ww-ids-java.pdf (Working with Adobe Indesign CS4 Server Java) and the "Regenerating the Adobe InDesign CS5 Server Java API" document mentions the Server SDK (e.g. "The InDesign CS5 Server SDK installation contains the prebuilt Java API Jar file") so I'm still curious as to whether there will be a CS5 Server SDK.

Missing words creating PDF with Acrobat 7 (newly installed InDesign CS5)

Since a few days I have some curiosity creating PDF files!
Randomly the PDF output is missing whole words in the document but having spares in the right tracking for them in the document.
It occurs that the missing words are subject to another font however not all words in this font are missing in the document.
Also my printer tell's me if he's going to print the PDF (in this case a serial letter with pre-stamped addresses) his computer is breaking down completely and also printing hieroglyphs.
This document was printed from MS Word 2003 with "Adobe PDF" as printer.
I also use FreePDFXP, though the same error comes up.
In addition I tried several settings for the PDF with no effect in the outcome.
I am still working with Acrobat 7 (from CS2 suite) under WinXP Professional SP3 and hadn't any problems before installing my InDesign CS5 upgrade a few days ago.
I only can assume that the problem is InDesign CS5 but cannot prove it.
Anyone an idea on how to solve the problem?!
I am really annoyed about this since for the pre-stamped letters I already paid money to the mail service and the need to be in the mail today - otherwise I am loosing several 100 Euros to the paper-bin).

Thanks for your feedback.
However I checked all the settings in the joboptions. All fonts are to be embedded (100%) and I also actively selected the fonts to be transferred.
I am using TheSans from LucasFonts as Open Type.
For my document I have SemiLight as standard style and Bold for accentuation.
While the bold style will be printed in "bold only" lines, it is not printed in lines/paragraphs where also the SemiLight style is used.
When I change color of the words in bold, the effect inverts and only the bold style words are displayed but not the SemiLight text!
I have a second laptop with the same system and software configuration (Win XP Professional SP3; Acrobat 7), where the same document runs smoothly.
That's why I assume, that it must be the Indesign CS5 upgrade causing trouble (it's the only new addition to the first laptop).
Unfortunately Adobe has no answer here also.
The only solution would be to adopt my documents for this effect and follow the logic of the machine instead of my mind...
As we do so often since invention of computers...

Updating Indesign CS5

I am trying to update my Indesign CS5 on my windows 8.1 laptop and I keep getting an error message asking for an update for a 64 bit machine. Any ideas where to find this? Thank you!

So, what does one do if one has Indesign CS5 and Windows 8.1 - any suggestions? The plug in that I apparently do not have is sharedcontent.rpln and as a result I am unable to work with a document that I need.

Adobe InDesign CS5.5 plugin error

Help - I have InDesign CS5.5 (version 7.5.1.304) and when I go to open a file from a client i get an error message that reads:
Cannot open - Please upgrade your plug-ins to their latest versions or upgrade to the latest version of Adobe InDesign. The document I am trying to open is a InDesign® CS5.5 Document??
Tried to update the plug ins and keep getting errors - arghhhhh

No it's not and if you update CS5.5 to 7.5.4 you'll see a whole new alert.

Strange text display in pdf using adobe reader exported by Indesign CS5

Hi there,
I have export an interactive pdf from indesign CS5 PC version with version 7 update, and it looks fine in most of the PC and Mac Adobe reader.
But 2 of the computer had strange text display. One is the iMAC with latest version of Adobe Reader
<== you can see the text "78" and "454" are abnormal
But with the same computer using Safari with perview plugin is showing following result:
<==you can see the text are normal.
The pdf is embedded with following fonts and property:
Another Windows XP with Adobe Acrobat 9 will had same display as the iMac.
I ensure the Windows XP don't have the font installed with HelveticaNeue and the Mac is using OS Lion Bundle with that font.
Now the customer blame it is the problem of the pdf created by me and I had no idea how to explain to my customer and find out solution.
I had a trial version of CC but same result and no error during the export.
Any idea is highly appreciate. The customer hotline and the live chat is hopeless as they send me to this community to ask since I use CS5 not the latest version.
Regards,
Ichi

Thanks Willi,
I had the fonts of Helvetica Neue bold light etc which created by Adobe and the font was created in 1993,shown in font property.
my PDF output is set to interactive not the print one. Other settings are default.
the purpose of this PDF is for user to print out and read on website. The funny thing is print out had no problem at all with HP and Ricoh printer using PCL 6 driver.
Despite Safari, the strange font happened in only Adobe product, other PDF reader had no problem such as foxit reader, xchange reader.
I tried to not embed the font but not able to do indesign, search in Google, it said it always embedded. Also that font family is preloaded in Mac OS.
I can try any test if there is a way to find out the solution.
or what should I do so the PDF should display correctly in all computer
thanks a lot.

Currently i am working in InDesign CS5.5 version 7.5 i am working on a project that requires working
