I don't believe there is a trial version of the Server.

Indesign Server download link not working

Hi
I tried to download InDesign Server for windows from the https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=indesign_server. Following this gives me the "403: Header Length Too Large" as an error.
Any advice is much appreciated.
Thanks,

Yes. I tried CS6, CC and CC2014. They all seem to work.
What browser are you using?

Why can't I download Indesign CC? It keeps saying I have a server error.

I just purchased the cloud...I have been trying to download Indesign CC and everytime it asks me to login, I do as such, and then it tells me that an Unknown Server has occured. This has been going on for quite some time...is there something wrong with my compatibility? Is there a direct link that can be provided to download Indesign? And I am not talking about the trial. Is my fire wall blocking it or what? Because I have purchased the cloud and I feel like I'll be wasting my money if I can't even download anything. If there is another way to download the programs, can I do that without accessing the website?

Hi Mavra, sorry you're having difficulties.
To answer your question, yes:

Make sure to carefully follow each step of the download instructions given, in order for the CC links to work.

How to download InDesign CS3 Debug (non-Server version)

I have downloaded and installed the InDesign CS3 SDK and can generate a Release build of a plug-in and get it to load and work in InDesign CS3, but as indicated in the doc, building the Debug configuration of a plug-in and trying to get it to work in the Release version of InDesign CS3 does not work. So, of course, I want to download and install InDesign CS3 Debug so that I can load and run the Debug configuration of plug-ins. But I cannot find a way to download InDesign CS3 Debug anywhere. I find a link for downloading InDesign CS3 Server Debug but not InDesign CS3 Debug (non-server version).
Can someone point me to the InDesign CS3 Debug download?
Thanks

Indesign server web service - where is the support to upload a file with the script and download the result?

Hi,
I am working on a POC that is supposed to convert indd files to pdf (i.e. using of course the indesign server). Basically I want to call the IDS Web Service (located on a different machine perhaps), pass in the input file, the conversion script and retrieve the result as part of the WebService call?
Browsing the documentation, examples, etc in the SDK, I couldn't see how the above can be achieved without the client handling the file transfer. Surely I must be missing something ...
thanks
Chris

What do you mean with POC?
InDesign Server is too precious (i.e. license cost) to waste its time with file transfers.
For a smaller scale, let a separate process (some http or smb server) on the same server hardware handle the files - so that the InDesign Server can access them on the fastest local volume.
If you plan for bigger, use a dedicated server for file sharing (your choice of SMB, NFS or whatever), where the input files are prepared by the client process, so that your load balancer can immediately point the next free instance of the InDesign server farm to the file. In that case be prepared for some try and error - high speed file sharing can be tricky with files written from one side not yet visible or incomplete to the other side, locking problems, Unicode file name trouble, unexpected time stamps and so forth.
Btw, there is also an InDesign Server forum which would be more appropriate for such discussions.

Is it possible to leverage InDesign Server templates in a custom web app?

Hi there,
I am building a custom web app and was hoping to leverage our existing InDesign Server templates within our web app. What I would like to do, is based on user input, show my template with the user's input in the browser. I have looked through the API guides for InDesign Server CS6, but I haven't been able to conclusively find anything that will allow me to use the APIs to call the server, send the data points the template requires, and then get an image back from the server.
I believe this is possible, I am just not sure how to achieve it! Any ideas or articles that help push me in the right direction would be extremely helpful!
Thank you!
Marshall

Yes it's completely possible. There are two parts to making something like this work:
1. The scripts themselves. You can generally script InDesign Server and desktop InDesign exactly the way using ExtendScript. So that's the part of the process where your script receives variables and passes them into the template and replaces something you've identified as variable, whether text or an image or something else (perhaps a color theme, etc.). You should get your scripts running on desktop before playing around with server.
2. The messaging between your web app and the server. Whatever language you are using (i.e. PHP, .Net, Java, Ruby…) there is a way to make a SOAP call to InDesign Server to tell it basically "run this script with these parameters". You should get the "hello world" script running from a SOAP call on the server before using your real variable-driven document.
The documentation of these things is available here:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/indesign/sdk.html
You need to download the InDesign Server SDK (don't worry if you're on CC and it says CS6, almost nothing changed) and the InDesign Scripting SDK. The Server SDK deals with part #2 above, the Scripting SDK with part #1.
It really isn't that hard. I should warn you, though, that it is addictive and once you do your first one you will become all-powerful and want to do nothing else. :-)
Good luck and don't hesitate to ask questions.

Datamerge crashes (indesign server)

I am trialing indesign server....
I have successfully created a js based datamerge using the soap example
I am now trying to do this programatically (e.g. directly interfacing with the server objects)
In both C# and VB I am getting a crash everytime I execute the datamerge MergeRecords function.
Below is the script I am running, with comments, if the doc.DataMergeProperties.MergeRecords("c:/temp/wibble.txt") line is commented out the script will execute fine, uncomment it and the whole thing crashes, including the server, when another function is called afterwards.
This is driving me mad
Any help appreciated ... if it is any help I have a c# visual studio 2010 project that isolates the issue and can be zipped and email/posted

Thanks for the reply!
I cross posted deliberately as no one had even read the entry in the server forum, you'll see that it is days older, mea culpa for not including the relevant link/hightlighting the cross post.
To answer your other questions
I am refering to Indesign COM objects; as you'll see from the code excerpt I have instantiated an app object (app = CreateObject("IndesignServer.Application")) successfully added a template file (doc = app.Open("C:/Adobe InDesign CS5.5 Server SDK/samples/sampleclient-aspnet-soap/files/template2.indd")) assigned the data merge data source (doc.DataMergeProperties.SelectDataSource(ds)) but it then falls down when the actual datamerge is called.
FYI, I have tried this in C#, vb.net and even classic ASP (vbscript) because of the typeing issues with c# and they all fall down at the same point.
I have a JSX version of this; this works fine if I pass it Indesign Server using SOAP (I am using the bundled sample soap script at the moment which is in Adobe InDesign CS5.5 Server SDK\samples\sampleclient-aspnet-soap), the datamerge works and the files are created fine.
I am using 7.5.1 (the trial was downloaded last week).
I am currently using the "lame" approach (call out using JS and the process the directory containing the files after Indesign has finished); but as the processed files have then to be associated with database records this is driving me mad.
Hope this expansion is helpful.

Andrew Wait

InDesign Server CS3 Debug verion

I have recently downloaded ID Debug version and installed it, before i start using this i thought i would ask a question here.
is there any difference between debug version and release version of ID? if my main intention is to evaluate to see if ID server has the features that i am looking for, does it make any difference which version i use?
i reviewed documentation provided in 'intro_to_indesign_cs3_server.pdf' and this document applies to the debug version too?
apprecate your reply.

AFAIK there is no functional difference server debug and release. You may find things slower with the debug build due to additional checks performed, and since additional checks means more/different code it is possible for bugs to exist in one version but not the other - though I don't know of anywhere this applies.
I'm not sure from the question though - are you asking for the difference between InDesign server debug/release or the difference between InDesign debug and InDesign Server release - there are a whole load of differences there...

InDesign Server and Version Cue

Does anyone know where I can find javascript examples on how to get the InDesign server to talk to Version Cue?
I need to access templates that are checked in to Version Cue, and I want to be able to check in generated PDFs
I found a couple of functions in the object model, but I keep getting errors from the Version Cue client inside the InDesign server.

Thank you Bturko in the future only migrate/copy/transfer your documents and settings. Adobe applications especially are not designed to be transferred from one computer to another. It is possible to recover however. I would recommend the following steps:
Run the uninstaller located in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers
Run the CC Cleaner Tool to ensure complete removal - Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.
If you need to download a fresh copy of the installation files they can be downloaded at Download CS3 products.
Run the installer and reinstall Creative Suite 3.

InDesign Server Installation and Configuration Guide

Hi everybody
I try to ask one silly Q.
Where can I get this document.
I found many references but no link :(

There is no document titled "InDesign Server Installation and Configuration Guide". This was an error in the CS2 version of Introduction to InDesign Server.
You'll find the CS2 version of Introduction to InDesign Server in the InDesign Server CS2 ESD (the server download bundle). Even better you'll find the CS3 version in the InDesign CS3 Server SDK. Available at the following URL:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/indesign/
The information about Java/CORBA is specific to CS3, but the information about scripting and SOAP applies to CS2.
Let me know if that helps, or you still need something else.

InDesign Server configuration and fonts

When you start multiple instances of InDesign Servers you specify the different configuration names.
Is it possible that 2 instances of InDesign Servers running on the same server with different configuration names have different fonts installed?
I.e. can I install some fonts of configuration level, not for the entire server?

There is no document titled "InDesign Server Installation and Configuration Guide". This was an error in the CS2 version of Introduction to InDesign Server.
You'll find the CS2 version of Introduction to InDesign Server in the InDesign Server CS2 ESD (the server download bundle). Even better you'll find the CS3 version in the InDesign CS3 Server SDK. Available at the following URL:

Indesign Server CC Trial issues

The installation instructions states
You need to download Adobe Provisioning Toolkit Enterprise Edition (APTEE) for using the InDesign Server trial
The download link only refers to CS6, CS5.5 & CS5 not CC
Since there is no Adobe Provisioning Toolkit Enterprise Edition for CC I decided just to install and run the trial.
However I got the Adobe InDesign Server is not properly licensed and will now quit message.
According to the CC Release notes it says:
InDesign CC Server needs to be activated before it can be used. If the computer is online, activation is done automatically when you install. You need to provide your Adobe ID, and serial number when prompted by the installer. Unless the software is activated, you'll see an error, "Adobe InDesign Server’ is not properly licensed and will now quit."
My computer was online yet the it seems it didn't perfom the automatic activation as it suggests. When I entered my AdobeID credentials I did not get any errors saying it could not connect online.
So I had to do something and decided to use the Adobe Provisioning Toolkit Enterprise Edition for CS6.
This allowed me to get pass the licensing issue.
The next problem was I was getting DDE Server Window:InDesignServer.exe System Error popup. Telling me The program can't start because svml_dispmd.dll is missing from your computer.

I have installed Indesign Server CC on another machine and although I did not get the missing dll problem it still however hangs at the same spot mentioned above.
Could someone from Adobe please help. The already I'm losing days with this trial and I will have little days left to test this product.

I'm having same trial activation difficulties. How have you activated it with APTEE? What leid did you use?
Thank you.
UPDATE: Never mind. I found it and activated server by executing:
"adobe_prtk.exe --tool=StartTrial --leid=InDesignServer-CS7-Win-GM"

Indesign server CC trial help

I have programmed Applescript and Indesign for desktop for years.
I have a solution that should work well with Indesign server and applescript.
Downloaded the Trial for Indesign Server CC.
Then you have to figure out how to activate the product, which i think i have done via this command :
adobe_prtk --tool=StartTrial --leid=InDesignServer-CS7-Mac-GM
Now that its not compaining about being activated i can see that the sample applescripts provided in the install can compile.
If i run them however i get a failiure thats odd.
tell application "Finder"
          get startup disk
                    --> "CWFM1:"
          exists "CWFM1:ServerTestFiles"
                    --> true
          exists "CWFM1:ServerTestFiles:bob.indd"
                    --> false
end tell
tell application "InDesignServer"
          close every document saving no
          make new document
                    --> document "Untitled 3"
          save document "Untitled 3" to "CWFM1:ServerTestFiles:bob.indd"
                    --> error number -1728
Result:
error "InDesignServer got an error: Can’t get document \"Untitled 3\"." number -1728 from document "Untitled 3"
The folder is chmod'd to 777 so its not a read write issue.
if i just use the normal open command in applescript i get this error :
The document “bob.indd” could not be opened. InDesignServer cannot open files of this type.
which is just odd. its a normal empty indesign document with nothing in it!
has anyone got ideas?
Server is MacMini i7 with 16gb ram, OS X 10.8.5 server.

Ok, i uninstalled indesign server CC and found a copy of the Trial CS6 indesign server. that works fine. must be a bug in CC. Joy....

Update Indesign Server DEBUG CC to 9.2

Wer are Adobe Bronze Partners und we want update our Indesign Server DEBUG CC to the Version 9.2 (MAC). In the "Technology Partner Software Downloads" is a download named "Adobe InDesign CC Server Debug 9.2 MAC". And if I download it and mount the DMG there is no installer, only an application folder of Indesign Server 9.2.
What to do with the folder? When I start the server from a copy of this folder, it crashes. Can you help, please? Any ideas?
Thanx, Matt

Hello,
This solution worked for me.
I was encountering the Error Code — U44M1P34.
This error occurred when Creative Cloud Manager notified me of the InDesign CC 9.2.2 update.
I tried almost everything, removing / uninstalling the program, removing / uninstalling all the programs, deleting all the left behind folders of the programs, re-downloading them from Creative Cloud Manager and even trying manually to install the 9.2.2 update.
Thank you.
Andreas
