Delay selecting text in Indesign CC and Acrobat XI

Do you know any tricks to speed up these two products?
Or – is how they work – now they've been re-written?
Maybe a list of bullet points – "Ways to ensure text selection is as good as can be." would be helpful.

The JDF features were removed for a very simple reason – lack of third party support and customer use. Adobe's OEM partners (the companies licensing the Adobe PDF Print Engine and/or Adobe PostScript for use in their printer and RIP products) as well as most workflow and web-to-print providers refused to implement JDF-based workflows. As such, a miniscule number of our Acrobat or InDesign customers either used or even knew about the feature.
C'est la vie!

Can I have a decreased / cheaper monthly priced membership for some time, by keeping active only Photoshop CC, Illustrator CC, InDesign CC and Acrobat?

Hello, and good evening from Athens, Greece.
I would like to ask a question concerning my CC membership.
I’ve started 1 and a half year ago by paying 29,99 € for the entire CC (all programs). Now, it’s 49,99 € and I’m having a really difficult time to keep it this way. I’m living in a country which is in the middle of crisis and my profession as a graphic designer, is not an exception to reduced spendings on advertising.
My question is, can I have a decreased / cheaper monthly priced membership for some time, by keeping active only Photoshop CC, Illustrator CC, InDesign CC and Acrobat? I don’t need for now the other apps. Can I have a membership plan only for those applications? I would very much appreciate your respond, a help and a solution to my issue.
Thank you very much.
Michael.
P.S. Forgot to tell, that I have a purchased Design Standard CS3 Suite. If this helps.

No... there is a special Photography plan

I'm working mostly with CS6 Photoshop, Indesign, Illustrator and Acrobat Pro X. Can I update from 10.6.8 to Mavericks without any problems?

Can I update to Mavericks without any problems for CS6 Photoshop, Indesign, Illustrator and Acrobat Pro X?

I can't guarantee it, but I think it's very likely you'll have no problems. Mavericks is now up to 10.9.3, and it's extremely stable.

OCR'd text varies between Preview and Acrobat. Pointers?

Does anyone have a pointer to understanding how hidden text from character recognition works in .pdf files?
I have a number of files on which I have run OCR using Acrobat 8. What I find is that for some files, the "hidden text" is only readable by Acrobat (Acrobat 8 or Acrobat Reader), and not by Preview.
There are two differences. (1) in multiple column layouts, Acrobat will select one column, while Preview will select across columns. (2) sometimes text selected in Preview has lots of spaces inside of words, and spaces missing at word-breaks, while Acrobat will get the word breaks correctly.
Obviously, one solution is to only use Acrobat to read the files, but I like Preview. Also, programs that rely on Mac OS's built-in pdf facilities, like Papers, suffer from the same limitations as Preview.
I want to understand this problem better. Any clues?
Thanks

InDesign CS5 and Acrobat 8

I am using ID 5 and Acrobat 8. My client marks up changes on a pdf for me to change the ID file. I used to be able to copy the text from the Acrobat file and simply paste it into the ID file. For some reason it wont do it. So I am having to type UGGGGGGGHHHH the copy. Any Ideas Why?
Help will be appreciated as I am doing an over 300 page catalog.
Thank you

* It's possible that the file's been secured.
* Perhaps a layer's been added, though PDF layers began in Acrobat 9, IIRC.
* Perhaps the PDF was "edited" in an application other than a qualified PDF editing tool like Acrobat.
* Perhaps the PDF was imported to an iInDesign "container" document, where the pages become uneditable graphics and then exported from the container.
* Do you have sufficient operating system permissions? Are the changes created as InDesign comments, typewriter notes, text editing comments?
* Can you export any of the marked up text to another file?

How do I create the highest quality pdfs with InDesign CS5 and Acrobat Pro 9? New settings needed?

I sent a lot of jobs to printing companies by sending them high-res proofs on very large, multiple page jobs with lots of photos and graphics. Many companies are requesting that I just send pdfs. I just upgraded to Windows 7 and CS5. I used to have some special settings in my older Acrobat Distiller and InDesign which have been lost. They gave a much better result that what I seem to be getting from the "Press Quality" setting for pdf's. Does anyone have an excellent list of settings that can used to improve the quality of pdf's? I don't know if this is a combination of settings in both InDesign itself, as well as in Acrobat Distiller, or if the settings in one program will solve this. I have a job pending that needs improvement in the pdf quality. Thank you.

Thanks Peter. My last post was specific to using the Print Booklet feature (which is now solved thanks to your help). But this is related to creating high-res pdfs in general that go to printing companies, and being used for sending high-res proofs to clients. In general I don't need to set up printer spreads for my jobs (just for the one I asked about in my other post), but I used to have some specific settings that a printing company supplied me with to give the highest res pdf output possible. Those settings did in fact give a better result than the Press Quality settings built into my Adobe programs. I have had printers over the years request that I create a postscript file, then use distiller (using the settings they supplied) and I got an excellent result. After getting a new computer, Windows 7 and new CS5 and Acrobat Pro 9 upgrade, all of these settings were lost. I have notes on the settings from a couple of years ago, but they don't seem to apply to the CS5 programs in every given area and I feel like there may be just a couple of boxes that either should or shouldn't be checked that I'm missing now.
I understand that this is very specific information, and I may just need to go with the Press Quality settings. The printing company that gave me that great info a while back is no longer in business and other printing companies I have checked with won't spend that kind of time with me (or maybe they don't know anything other than using the Print Quality setting). Maybe within the CS5 program now, the quality of this setting has been improved more than I realize yet. Again, I'm new to CS5 and am just trying to get everything back to the way I used to have things running, and trying to get the best results possible.
Thanks again!

Why does my 2012 Retina Macbook Pro's trackpad become extremely unresponsive after I plug in a USB mouse? The only trackpad command that works is the left click, I can't select text or press down and hold the trackpad to do anything else until I restart.

My trackpad becomes REALLY unresponsive after I plug in a USB mouse. It seems like the cursor is broken and stuck on a permanent left click or something. I'm unable to select text or do any other sort of action that requires you to hold down the trackpad and drag. Mouse icons don't update as I scroll over different text and links. The trackpad is usually stuck in this unresponsive state until I restart my macbook which is extremely inconvenient if I have to do this after every time I use a USB mouse. Are there any fixes to this?

Melophage,
I don't leave it outside. Usually when I leave it overnight, I do so under the same conditions as when I leave it plugged in, and this morning I only left it for about an hour in my house and it did the same thing.
LowLuster,
I actually have a new hard drive I bought a while back and have been meaning to switch it out with the one that's in there now. I'll follow your instruction, then make the switch I had planned on and report back.

Scrolling selected text with Indesign CS6 to show different font style

Hi, I recently found I could highlight a paragraph and using font character style I could scroll through fonts changing whole paragraphs, I can't remember how I did this, I know it's a new feature with CC, I'm on CS6

Select the text you want to change. Click your cursor after the font name in the field. Press the up or down arrows, and you can see the selected text change.

Highlight texts in Adobe Reader and Acrobat

I need to highlight the texts/words in Adobe Reader and Acrobat as well. Is there any common function/API available for both?

Do you have a problem selecting text in Indesign CC?

It seem to take three clicks to select text.
Have I got preferences set up wrong?
To be frank, it's driving me nuts, is it difficult to go back to CS6?
Thanks in advance.
PS. It's probably my fault.

Providing more details would help. Which OS? How much text are you trying to select? How are you trying to make the selection?
As far as going back, do you already have a previous license for CS6? If not, you can download the cloud version as part of your subscription. Your documents will need to be exported from CC to .idml to be usable in CS6.

Multiple Problems with PDF InDesign, Bridge, and Acrobat Reader

I create proof books with a blend of Adobe Bridge & InDesign.
Here is my work flow: I will BOLD the errors I am having and need help with.
Step 1.) I create contact sheets in Bridge and save them as PDF's
Problem with Bridge ( I have another posting for this thread as well under Bridge) I cannot save PDF's larger than 400ish photos at 300ppi (important for my printer) without it saving as a blank PDF. COMPLETELY EMTPY! So I have to split up my photos into groups of 400 or less photos then patch them back together.
Problem with Acrobat: If I patch those PDF’s back together with Adobe Acrobat (a suggestion from another person on here) they save great but I get an error when I try to import them in indesign. The error reading: ERROR. Cannot determine page count.
Please open the PDF file in Acrobat, do a “Save As…” and try again. (99)
Step 2.) I use a script (MultiPageImporter2.2.1.jsx) to import the PDF's into Indesign. (if saved as one pdf in acrobat I get the above error)
Problem With InDesign: I run this importer script in InDesign to create my books with a template I use from my printers. Well since I have to import multiple pdf with multiple pages ( because I can’t piece them together without the above error. Then I have this problem:
I place a pdf with 1-226 pages in. I start this on page 1.
I place the next pdf with 1-141 pages in. I start this on page 227.
An error pops up that says I MUST start my import on page 226!!!!!!!!!! I don’t want to import on page 226 because I have two photos on that page!
I tried it several ways and no matter what I loose my last page of my first import.
PLEASE someone help me! I feel like I might be doing something really silly but I’ve spent 7.5 hours today working on this books with error after error.
I have done all the updates on my computers and nothing works. I use two macs and both have the same errors. I have a mac-book Pro | snow leopard and a Imac | snow leopard.
Thanks much!

All your problems seem to stem from the PDFs that you are making from Bridge. What you are describing should be perfectly possible, but the fact that Bridge doesn't want to make a PDF with more than 400 photos and it all goes downhill from there makes me suspect Bridge.
Here's a plugin that may help? Looks pretty cheap for what it does.
Apart from that I'd try to clean up the PDFs that Bridge is producing if Indesign doesn't like them. One way would be to print to a new PDF, after you've combined them as necessary.
As to the last pronlem you mention, where it forces you to place on page 226, have you tried creating a blank page 227 first, before you try placing?

Accessible PDFs from InDesign CS3 and Acrobat Pro 8

Is there a good website or book that explains how to create an "accessible" PDF with text and images (no intaractivity or special fields to enter information)? Maybe a book for non-programmers.
I find a lot of general information and it always states that it's the best to do the tagging from the beginning in InDesign but what else does it ivolve? In what order should I do what?
Thanks.

I'm doing one of the exercises provided by Adobe and have a question (InDesign CS3). I just learned that you can assign the "Artifact" tag to a graphic frame in two ways: Either via "New Attribute" in the Structure window (Articat/TRUE) or by right clicking and "Tag Element > Artifact").
The results are different though. The New-Attribute-way keeps the name "Figure" and adds a Bullet to it saying Artifact=TRUE, while the right-click-option changes it from Figure to Artifact and adds no Bullet.
Is there any difference for the person receiving the PDF and what is the better version (for what)? Thanks a lot!

Speak Selected Text not working Indesign CC

I used to be able to select text in Indesign and have it read back to me. Not it just reads the filename. I find it very useful to have text read to me for proofing. Please help!

Hi
I've discovered this issue too.
I'm using InDesign CC (9.2 - International English) and using the Mac OS X (10.9.1) built-in Text to Speech function.
Seems like the focus for the text reader is always on the title bar, so it will only ever read "Asterisk Untitled one at one hundred percent" (as an example for an unsaved untitled doc), no matter what is selected on the page.
Switching back to InDesign CS6 the text is read out correctly. Text is also read fine in other CC apps like Illustrator. So it appears to be isolated to InDesign.
I note, in InDesign CC that other text selected, eg the font name in the Control panel will be read correctly when selected, it is just the text in the document window (or Story Editor) that can't be read.
This is annoying enough that I will be switching back to InDesign CS6 unitl it is fixed.

I installed CS3 Design premium upgrade yesterday onto my new mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. You gave me a new serial number. I have been able to open Photoshop, Bridge, Dreamweaver and Flash. The Illustrator, Indesign and Acrobat applications are not in my applications folder although there are folders in there with those names containing associated items. How can this have happened and what can I do?
