Export .indd cs4 to .doc

Hi guys
Is there anything i can do to export a .indd file to .doc?
Thanks

Well, you haven't really told us what you want. If the goal is to convert a complex page layout in ID into an editable page layout that looks the same in Word, then you are not going to find a better answer than the PDF to Word route that Bob suggested (and don't expect much from that). Word is not a layout program, it's a word processor with some minor layout capabilities and a completely different way of handling text and images.
Perhaps if you told us WHY you want to convert we could offer some constuctive suggetions for ways to accomplish what you need to do.

[CS4 / Win] Could you give me idea how to export indd to WMF?

Hello,
My task is exporting InDesign document to WMF.
I tried to do the following:
1. created kWindowViewPortBoss boss:
InterfacePtr<IWindowPortData> pWinPortData(::CreateObject2<IWindowPortData>(kWindowViewPortBoss));
2. got IWindowPortData interface and set SysPort which I created before:
pWinPortData->Set(hWnd, hDC);
3. created context for IDrawMgr::Draw:
InterfacePtr<IViewPort> pViewPort(pWinPortData, UseDefaultIID());
AGMGraphicsContextWith<AGMAcquireCoordSys, AGMAcquireClip> context(pViewPort.get(), PMMatrix());
4. called IDrawMgr::Draw:
InterfacePtr<IDrawMgr> pDrawMgr(pWinPortData, UseDefaultIID());
piDrawMgr->Draw(&context, page_item_ref, 0);
The InDesign falls on IDrawMgr::Draw with access violantion error
Is my way of exporting right?
Which of my steps are not right?
May be is there simpler method of exporting indd to wmf?
Could you suggest to me directions where to look for solution of my problem?
thank you in advance!

Hi mate, thanks for the info, the original Server p09- etc remains in the box in Mail Preferences, but I went into
System Preferences Mail section and entered your suggestion in the imap box.
I ran a test email, IT WORKS!
You certainly deserve to double your status of Level 2 (12,355 points).
All my best wishes.
Incidentally, I'm a retired electrician, so if anybody in the community needs a question answered, let me know.

Using indd CS4 for email blasts?

Happy Holidays everyone. Instead of using 'contant contact' or other such email blast software with templates, what I typically do is design an original email blast in InDesign, and then send it as a pdf to a company who switches it (somehow) into html. Which takes them some time, and some extra money, before they blast the thing.
However, there has to be an easier way, to take my designed "flyer" right to html, in indd,cs4??? I tried exporting it as html, and the file had no graphics in it, bummer. I tried exporting as eps, and the file was too huge. I tried exporting as a variety of different jpegs, and still wasn't right--although, it could be brought into a Word file. But, again could not add 'link's" to our website in Word.
So, what am I missing here? Thanks

What you're missing is the fact that there is no easy way. My advice: spend the money on Constant Contact, MailChimp or one of the other specialized services.

HELP! Export indd- epub AUTOMATION. How to Implement! thanks!

Hi. In need some help. Im an intermidiate .net programmer. i need some help on how to implement a simple automation on exporting indd to epub.
What language suitable to use?
do i need indesign server ion this simple automation?
Thanks!

Jerome,
These days, Flex is the best way to "drive" InDesign and InDesign Server.
Because it has all the hooks for telling InDesign what you want it to do,
and because you can quickly build something with a nice UI. So, I think you
want to build an InDesign extension, using Flex / ActionScript.
A big help would be to use the Flex-based new-for-InDesign-5.0 Creative
Suite Extension Builder system. See
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/creativesuite/cs-extension-builder.html
A CS Extension Builder extension is a full AIR application, so it has full
access to the file system, enabling you to implement hot folders if you
wish.
The hard part is figuring out how to "translate" into an ePub format. You
could have a team of several programmers working for a year and still not
have a perfect system to do this. BUT, you're in luck, because Adobe has
already written software to convert to HTML. It doesn't do a perfect job,
of course, but Adobe put a lot of effort into it. And ePub format is
HTML5-based, I believe.
So, probably what you want to do is first tell InDesign to run it's
InDesign-to-HTML conversion feature, and then post-process the result into
the desired ePub format.
Cheers,
Stephen

Export indd file to Snippets [VBS]

Hello all i'm trying to modify an existing script that Exports indd files to pdf's. it goes through all the indd file and createsa pdf one page at a time and workds fine. However in converting it to do the same but convert to Snippet files i'm having problems with the "idExportFormat.idInDesignSnippet" class and memebers when i try somthing like
myFilePath = myFolderName & "\" & myPageName & "_" & myBaseName & ".inds"
myDocument.Export idExportFormat.idInDesignSnippet, myFilePath, False
I get an "The Specified object to does support the desired export format." error # 25398
if i remove the ",myflePath, False" then i get a "Missing required parameter 'To' for export event".
The really anying this is if i change that to a
myFilePath = myFolderName & "\" & myPageName & "_" & myBaseName & ".xml"
myDocument.Export idExportFormat.idXML, myFilePath, False
it works fine..
So there is somthing missing for the snippet export.

I've broken the problem down and started as small as possible.
To do the same thing but to export each page as a jpg's i can use the following script
Set myInDesign = CreateObject("InDesign.Application.CS3")
myFile = "c:\myTestFile.jpg"
myInDesign.ActiveDocument.Export idExportFormat.idJpg, myFile, False
If i change that round a abit to customize it to export as inds snippets i would get
Set myInDesign = CreateObject("InDesign.Application.CS3")
myFile = "c:\myTestFile.inds"
myInDesign.ActiveDocument.Export idExportFormat.idInDesignSnippet, myFile, False
This produces the following error " The specified object does not support the desired export format" - Line 3
This is because the object i am speifiying is "ActiveDocument" which when selected (manually) cannot be exported as a Snippet.
What I need to do is cycle trough my pages selecting Texframes of which they are multiple on each page and export them as Snippets.
Can anyone help please?

Completely baffled and frustrated on exporting media CS4 w/ Vista 64 Ultimate...

I can't seem to get any of my projects to export on CS4 using Vista64 Ultimate. It just pops open the screen on the options and then a bar comes up stating it is exporting, but the media encoder never shows up. I have upgraded to the newest version of CS4, but that doesn't help. I upgraded my vid card drivers, still no go.
       I have tried two different types of video formats that I work with and both have with the same result. So, the next step I tried was to take my project and put it on another machine that is a bit slower, but could still handle the job. Well, that sort of worked. First of all, it is on XP Pro and so that solved the export poblem with the .FLV video files, but it does NOT recognize .MTS files. It doesn't even give me the options to use AVCHD on the preset menu....(it actually is missing alot of the presets). That one was also upgraded to 4.1 of CS.
     So, I have two problems and I just need to solve one or the other and I will make due. I would love to solve the Vista issue...if anyone has an idea I can try to solve it, that would be great. My specs on that machine are Q6600 quad core, 4GB Ram, 8800GT vid card, Vista Ultimate 64. The other machine is an AMD Athlon X2 5600+, 3GB Ram, Geforce 6000 series vid card.
    Please....any help would be great....trying to export my 4month old son's videos we have recently taken.

Not quite enough info from you to help directly, so try this:
Start\All Programs\Adobe Creative Suite 4 Production Premium\Adobe Media Encoder CS4
Does the Media Encoder open??
No - Call Adobe Tech Support
Yes - File\Add Premier Pro Sequence
Browse to the project folder and double click the name of your desired project = MyProject.prproj
This will open a window showing the sequences in the project. Click on the desired Sequence. Then click OK.
Click on Settings...
Click on Format. It sounds like you're doing Flash, so choose FLV/F4V.
Click on Preset and select from the drop down list.
Since we're only testing simply pick one, don't change anything in the preset, and click OK. .
If you want to change the Drive:\Directory\Filename, click on Output File.
Click Start Queue.
This will tell you if the problem is with AME or the link between PrPro and AME.
HTH,

Export file (rtf and doc) has a cut off field

Hi,
I am using CR10/VB6/Oracle10.2
CrystalViewer shows the report preview fine then click the envelope icon to export file
(rtf or doc).
When I open the exported file (.rtf or .doc), there are some fields in the file is cut off .
Half of line of record is cut off horizontally.
This problem does not happen always. I don't know it depends on the record or not.
Does anyone have a same problem?
Thank you

Hi Sachiko
CR X is not tested with Oracle 10.2. This issue may occur since some of the dlls may not be supported. Hence you can try out the following:
1. Apply the latest Service Pack and check if you get the same issue.
2. Try using another Viewer and check if the issue still persists
3. Try upgrading CR X to CR XI R2 since CR XI R2 is tested with Oracle 10.2

Trouble with format of files exported from pages as .doc - when opened on a pc they have extra spaces and pages breaks inserted after each line? Can be manually deleted, but defeats sharing purpose. advice?

Hi all, I have trouble with the format of files exported by email as .doc from pages - when opened in MS word on a PC or other device, they have extra spaces and pages inserted after each line - can be deleted manually, but defeats sharing purpose. Any advice? Not the most sophisticated user.

Got it. I tried booting with MOD_AUTOLOAD set to yes, and it was working fine. Looks like I needed to specify some more modules in my list.

Indd CS4 save/export Dialog Boxes are so small :(

I have a 24" iMac and now have installed Indesign CS4. The save/place/export dialog boxes are so small. I have dragged them larger and that is great.
But it does not stay that way across the program or even the same document...
I don't know if I did something different on CS3 but once I set it, it seemed to always remember the setting even on new documents.

I can't help but I can confirm I'm getting the same problems in the CS4 apps, not just InDesign (with Leopard 10.5.5). I hope a fix for this comes out eventually. As Mike says, it happens with Save, Save As, Print To Postscript etc so I encounter it at least a hundred times a day. Very frustrating.

InDesign infinite loop when exporting INDD as IDML - one specific document

Hi,
I have several thousand INDD files that are generated using CS4. We are migrating to CC server so need to be able to run scripts against these files. One of the scripts performs some (simple) manipulations and then saves as IDML...
Except...
With a percentage of our files (I've found two out of less than a hundred files that I've tested) the export to IDML task never completes. InDesign server simply hangs, permenantly. The only way to get our server back is to manually terminate the process using Task Manager and then restart. I have looked at the INDD files using InDesign client and can see nothing whatsoever the matter with them. However, even in client, even after deleting _ALL_ content, when I try to save as IDML, I get the export process hanging (see screenshot below).
So, I guess I have two questions;
1. How can I modify InDesign server to detect and recover from this form of infinite loop?
2. Does anybody have any idea what could be causing the infinite loop? (And how to resolve it?)
Thanks,
Gaius

You should try a divide and conquer for the InDesign file.
That is split it in two and then try export to IDML
Whichever sides hangs is where the problem lies. You can keep halving this document until you find the problematic page/pages.

Is there a way to import a indd CS4 file with its Data Fields names and properties into CC?

I have to convert numerous files from CS4 to CC. The CS4 files are using external data from a CSV file. When I open the file in CS4 I can enable the preview and see the data from the CSV file. But when I save the file as indd or idml and try to open it in InDesignCC then I can't see the data as preview. I can see the Data fields (text).I think it's because it doesn't recognize the data fields from the CS4 file. If I delete a data field and remap it I will be able to see the preview for the field I just mapped. the other fields remain the unchanged, like they were just text.
Any help with this topic will be very appreciated. I have about 70 data fields per document and about 100 documents to go through.
Update: The symbol for a data field, ex: «fullname_2» change size when I delete and remap it. Explanation: When I open the CS4 file in IndesignCC I can't view a preview of the Data field(s) (almost positive because it's plain text). The data fields show like this «fullname_2». But when I delete that and drag a field from the data field list it shows like this <<fullname_2>>. So definitely, CC is not reading the data fields from InDesign CS4.
P.S.: The fields above («fullname_2» and <<fullname_2>> are copy and paste from Indesign CC.

I'm attaching this image so this forum can notice the difference on the Data fields from CS4 and the ones added on CC

'Unknown Error' while exporting a document as '.DOC'

I'm using Pages '09 on a Mac Mini running OS-X Lion. I have a 66-page document, originally a .DOC file which I modified and am trying to convert back to a .DOC file. When I try to convert it I get a warning dialog which says: 'An Unknown Error Occurred'.
I searched these pages and found that a number of people reported this and managed to fix it by solving some sort of problem with fonts, but I could not understand what people said they did to fix it. So I made a duplicate of my document, removed the last 30 pages, tried to export, got the error. Removed the last 15 pages, etc. until I found the page which was causing the problem.
Doing this I found two problem pages. The first one had a style called 'Body Bullets' which was using Helvetica 10 point. I changed it to Arial 10 point, but it did not solve the problem. So I deleted the style and used a built-in style called 'Bullet' which I redefined to use Arial 11 point. That worked.
The next problem page had a small section in Arial 10-point. I changed it to use 'Body' style (which I had defined earlier to use Arial 11-point) and now the whole document can be successfully converted to .DOC without errors.
My question is can this be fixed or do I have to avoid using Helvetica/Arial 10-point fonts in my document?
Thanks.
Martin Barker.

Hi
Here I have no problem with these fonts :
For Doing this I found two problem pages I used Helvetica 10.
For The next problem page had I used Arial 10.
I was able to export without any kind of problem.
It would be a good idea to scan your fonts with FontBook.
Some may be corrupted or some may be conflicting.

Big problem with PDF export from CS4

Create a document with facing pages. Then place a rectangle or any other object on the master through the whole spread. Place the text or any other object on the master over the first rectangle on the both pages. Now, when exporting pdf, the text on the left pages is disappeared becaouse it covered by the copy of the rectangle. The variation of the problem is when using any tansparencies, then they become "less transparent" on the left pages because of this strange dublicating.
There is an archive in attachment that contains indd and pdf files with this problem.

Thanks, it works, but bug is still bug. In some cases it's impossible to do this, for example my recent case: it was text with huge outer glow on master pages. Outer glow from right page dublicates to the left and covered left text, and there's no way to move effect to another layer separately. The solution was to detach these texts from masters, but it's also unhandy solution.
It's hard to detect such cases unless it happen with big elements.

Exporting from CS4 doesn't work.

I edited together some footage, exported using Media Encoder as h.264. The progress bar reaches the end and then nothing. The status remains as "Encoding". In my export folder there is a .m4v file that is 2.68 GB, and .aac file that is 172 MB and a .mp4 file that is zero K. I'm guessing that Media Encoder is supposed to copy the .m4v file and the .aac file into the .mp4 file and delete the originals, but it's not doing that. Any ideas?

[Moved to CS4 and Earlier.]

Installed CS5, now can't export from CS4! Help! "Could not read from the source..."

I installed CS5 but completely ignored the fact plugins were required to be 64-bit. It'll be months before the plugins I require for my projects to be updated!
So I continued editing in CS4 and when I attempted to export with the media encoder it halts instantly with an exclamation mark, the log says :
"Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted."
And yes I'm not stupid, I did my research.
I tried uninstalling CS4 and reinstalling. I tried the shortcut fix. I tried moving my cache files. My extensions are correct.
Right now the only fix seems to be completely removing CS5 and CS4, After Effects just because they share files (?) and all my settings and plugins along with it! I'd rather NOT do that if I can!

Good detective work, and glad that it worked. Now, your cure will be here for us to link to and for others to find. Your title will help direct others to this thread. Job well done.
Thanks,
Hunt
