Don't make Indesign maximize all document

Since Indesign CS4 all the documents open maximized in my screen.
Because I do a lot off copy/paste from other Programs into Indesign documents (mail/Word) I like to put both side by side on my screen. Now I have to minimize all the document by hand (mouse). Indesign CS3 kept the positions.
I hoped this feature would be changeable in CS5 but is is still not. Is there anyone that knows a way to change this?

CS5 behaves the same way in that it will put the window as big as it can be while not being blocked by toolbars, on your primary monitor if running more than one. There is no way to change this behavior.
If you are on a mac there are a number of utilities for free – cheap that will resize your window(s) in a predictable fashion.
Cinch is nice for $7

MercuryMover is amazing at $20

There are a couple of freebies that aren't coming to my head. Cinch is pretty much amazing though. If you are on a Windows PC someone may have a better solution.
If you want to bug a scripter and have a particular size you want they can probably make you a script to do what you want in a matter of moments.

Is there a way to make InCopy open all documents in normal screen mode, always?

Is there a way to make InCopy open all documents in normal screen mode, always?
Now it opens in the screen mode the InDesign page is in when checked in. We don't want that.
Thanks,

No, there's no way to get rid of it in InCopy. InCopy opens layouts in the mode the InDesign user saved them, including Normal vs. Preview, Frame edges showing or not, Hidden characters showing or not, and so on.
You could try asking the designers to switch to Normal view before saving the INDD file. Or you could assign a keyboard shortcut to the Normal view in InCopy and tell everyone to use that. We're on Macs so we use Control-N for Normal and Control-Shift-N for Preview.

Acrobat 9 Pro: Open all documents in same window - don't want!!

In Acrobat 7 there was a setting under
Edit/Preferences/Documents that said "Show each document in its own window"
I had this unchecked.
I can't find this setting in 9, there is no such option (at least what I can find). I don't want all documents in separate windows, I want them in the same window! How do I fix that??

But that's just plain stupid! I don't want 20 windows open when I drag 20 files into Acrobat for printing. I just want one.
I wonder why they have done it like this.
There are a lot of things missing from Acrobat 7 that I wish they hadn't removed. I thought upgrades was supposed to make a program better, not worse! Now I have to find work-arounds for a lot of things that was easy before and now doesn't work at all or works but takes a lot of time to do.

How can I always have "enable all documents" selected when opening files in Indesign CS6?

Every time I open a file in CS6, I still have to select "open all documents" to see my files that have already been converted to CS6. Before, once a file was converted to the newer version of indesign, you would see it in the menu automatically when open "readable documents" was selected. Now when I go to find a file that I've already converted to CS6, it still makes me select "open all documents" because it doesn't show up as a "readable document"
hope this makes sense.
i'm running osx 10.6.8, mac pro

if it has a .indd, .indt, .inx or .idml extension ist should show up as readable, regardless of the version. If it's not you have a bigger problem.
Start by trashing your prefs. See Replace Your Preferences

I don't have InDesign but have an InDesign document that I need to convert to IDML

InDesign is the only tool that can do this. The version of InDesign you install must be at least as high as the version used to make the INDD file.

I am trying to update my apps on my 4s but says there is not enough space. It shows i have 19.3 GB of 25 GB. Also, in my itunes...it shows about a quarter of space on the bar is photos but I took all the photos out. Don't make sense.

It's telling you there's not enough space *on your 4S*. The 25GB you refer to is probably that on iCloud, that's different memory than that on your iPhone. You need to delete video, pictures, apps, or whatever ON THE IPHONE, to make enough room for downloading updates to your apps.

The word app has disappeared from my desktop computer and can't be found on finder or search. All documents I created on word will now not open unless in "TextEdit" format which I don't use. Any ideas please? Thanks

How to make warehouse field inactive for all users in all documents autom.

Hi All,
Can anyone pls tell me "**how to make warehouse field inactive for all users in all documents without having to do it through form setting** "for each and every user. It should be visible but inactive
Thanks & Regards,
Mukesh Agrawal

Hi,
As a work around create a warehouse SelectWH and map the mandatory acoounts as a On hold account(in chart of accounts).So there will not be any posting on this account.
And set this warehouse as default warehouse for all users.
So without selecting the appropriate warehouse the user can not add the document.
I think this might resolve you issue.

Adobe Flash Player wont work after all steps taken, what haven't I done to make it work?

I tried to play a game I love & I got this message: "To view this page ensure that Adobe Flash Player version 10.0.0 or greater is installed" So I went to your site to update my flash player & hit the "Test Flash Player" button & it came up
like this^^. I went to the suggestions your site provided & went to Manage add-ons to look for Shockwave Flash Object to enable it:
You can see that it is enabled by this picture I have provided. So it also asks me to make sure that ActiveX isn't clicked on & so I did:
As you can see it's turned off & I even tried it the other way where it has the spot checked & it still wont play. So I decided to see if I could reinstall it onto my computer & so in turn I got this message:
That is the message I got even after trying to delete Flash Player & reinstalling it. Now you can see my frustration with all this. Adobe Flash Player wont work after all steps taken, what haven't I done to make it work? I have a Windows 8.1 Pro, I use Internet Explorer which has the latest version on it, which is Windows Explorer 11 Version: 11.0.9600.17498 & I was also under the understanding that I also had the latest version of Adobe Flash Player on this computer as well. Can someone tell me what to do??

First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/use-compatibility-view#ie=ie-11
If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Open all documents in the same window ?

How in Reader 9 can I configure it to open all documents in the same window instead of as individual windows?
Thanks

Bug report sent to Adobe:
******BUG******
Concise problem statement:
MDI removed from Reader 9
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Open more than one document.
2. Look at taskbar overflowing.
3.
Results: Customer is pissed off.
Expected results: Happy customer.
Steps to make customer happy: Get your heads out of your ***, and make MDI not just an option, but the DEFAULT. Who the hell thought going back to Windows 3.0 SDI interface technology was a good idea? Please post his/her name, and whoever approved that decision's name publically, because a) they will (or should) be looking for a new job since they just got fired, and b) I don't want to make the mistake of hiring them. I mean seriously. I thought what I was reading on the web was a hoax. I had to check snopes.com to be sure. Do you guys not have a random drug testing policy? For that matter, do you not realize that when a person, that you're trusting to make important decisions that affect millions of people, is sitting at their desk drooling on themselves and can't get out more than a single syllable word, that maybe, just maybe, they're not the person you should have in that position? Is this a product line wide decision? Should I look at scrapping all of my other Adobe / Macromedia products and upgrading to those that support 15 year old technology? Are you going to turn into another Symantec? Hey, lets buy take over great companies with great products, turn the product lines into crap, and then discontinue and abandon them. Seriously, what should we expect for Reader 10.0? Are you going to be upgrading to a console application? Please, please, please for 11.0 can we have it be phosphorous green too? I think Im going to go back to my bottle of wine now

Unknown xml documents in all documents in finder

Hello,
Please could anyone help, I have been looking finder at all documents and there are 100's of XML documents shown with lots of letters and numbers below. When I try to open them they don't make sense, I have tried to delete them but they keep coming back, does anyone know why or how there are appearing?
Also why do my photos keep doubling up?
Thank you
Sue

Those are essential system and application files. Why are you even looking at all docs?
Deleting files you don't understand is a quick way to turn your computer into an expensive brick.
Now what's the problem with the photos? More detail is needed to determine what's happening.

How do I Maximize all the Windows

Hello,
Greetings!
How do I Maximize all the opened windows in CS2

People sometimes use the term "Maximize" incorrectly.
Maximize means to cover the screen. Do you really want each window to cover the screen? That will make only one of them visible at a time.
Or did you mean to say "Restore" all the windows? "Restore" means to change a window from minimized to visible again, as a window that does not cover the entire screen. If this is what you want, one quick way (with Windows 7) is to go to the Taskbar and click on the button/icon for each of the minimized windows you want to work on. Each has a Taskbar Live Preview Thumbnail so it's easy to pick which ones.
If you really do mean "Maximize", and your intent is to work on one window at a time, perhaps what you should consider doing is using the Tabbed view mode. That makes, by default, each window being worked on cover the Photoshop main window. It's a different way to manage multiple documents, and it sounds as if it might match your way of working better.
Hope this helps.

HT4137 Please I don't remember the restriction passcode on my ipad 2 running ios 7.1. Please any help to reset it because I don't want to loose my documents?????

Please I don't remember the restriction passcode on my ipad 2 running ios 7.1. Please any help to reset it because I don't want to loose my documents?????

The only option is to wipe the device clean and restore it to factory settings. Hope you have a backup.
Follow the instructions in iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 to restore the device to factory settings.
Once you have setup the device as a new one, you can then sync it back with your iTunes account and all your music, apps, contacts and any other content sync'ed with iTunes will be loaded on the device. Any content that is stored only on the device and not sync'ed with iTunes, like app logins or data, will be lost during this process. Be forewarned that this is a long process and can take a couple of hours or more to complete. This can be painful, but it is necessarily so to prevent users from working around the security settings. After the restore is complete, you can setup a new Restrictions passcode. Make a note of the passcode to avoid this situation in future.
 Cheers, Tom

Would installing Cheetah or Raptor drives make inDesign data merge work faster?

Would installing Cheetah or Raptor drives make inDesign data merge work faster?

I think SSDs might turn out to be slower. There are some other posts about major slowdowns when the OS and user profile are on SSDs.
As a 32 bit program, ID can't adress all that extra RAM, so you won't affect the amount of swapping required. I don't really know how efficient an SSD is for constant read and write operations, but my undertanding is they work great for fast loading of things that don't change, but not so much for files that rewrite constantly.
