Graph plugins for Indesign and Illustrator

Hi.
Anyone used any decent CC plugins for generating graphs more easily than they are in Illustrator?

Hello Paul bloxham
I don’t know much about any decent plugins for Illustrator, however I sometimes make graphs using Microftsoft Word then export/copy into Illustrator, then manipulate within illustrator if needed, not used Apples Numbers or other free software as yet to make any comment, but I do get satisfactory results from using Word.
Hope this is of help.

CS Extension Check In event for InDesign and Illustrator

Hi,
For CS6 InDesign Similar to DocumentEvent.BEFOR_SAVE, do we have anything for check in event as well, I am using cs 1.5 sdk.
If that is not available, how we can implement such a functionality. Do we have to use Indesign SDK or are there any alternatives?
And in illustrator, i am not able to load the plugin AIHostAdapter.aip in CS6, it was working fine in CS5.
I am getting the error "Error Loading Plugins. AIHostAdapter.aip." Find attached screenshot.
How do i work around this problem?
Thanks in Advance,

In Need of a developer for Photoshop and Illustrator plugins

I am in need of a developer interested in developing plugins for Photoshop and Illustrator for a specific industry of Textiles and Fashion. Please contact me if you are a developer with experience in plugin development. [email protected]

Hmmm... I'm using JSF but it's my first project so I don't really know it's powers.
I instantiated all classes that will eventually populate the combo box (through reflection) and now I'm trying to find one which of the objects did the user select.
Would it be a problem for you to give me at least a rough scatch of what I should do?
I tried it like this:
in my managed bean:
public HtmlSelectOneMenu getProductsMenu() {
        //instantiate and populate the list of products (prodlist)
        for (Product p : prodlist){
            optionlist.add(new SelectItem(p, p.getName()));
        final UISelectItems items = new UISelectItems();
        items.setValue(optionlist);
        productsMenu.getChildren().add(items);
        return productsMenu;
    }and in my JSP:
<h:selectOneMenu binding="#{managedBean.productsMenu}" />but then, in the bean, when I try:
((Product)productsMenu.getValue())I get a Class cast exception. it says it can't can't cast String to Product...
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you!

Will we still be able to write plugins for Creative Cloud for InDesign and Dreamweaver?

Our company writes custom plugins for InDesign and Dreamweaver. Will that still be possible with these Creative Cloud apps? Will updates from CC require a reinstallation of the plugin or will it continue to work?

Those are good questions.
Sadly I know some third party developers already abandoned development when CS6 launched and the new plugin architecture came into play. Given the now standard versioning releases and updates pushed to consumers decided upon by Adobe for the Creative Cloud subscriptions how will third party development and testing of application add-ons work going forward and what does Adobe have in place for this to assist and ensure developers moving forward with new releases. Similar to their own recent Creative Cloud Connection debacle, can developers be assured Adobe wont also break third party plugin compatibilities? Is there a testing and versioning framework system in place for developers for use with each new release of the Creative Cloud? Is a workflow for developers in place?

Colour Profiles missing in InDesign and Illustrator CS3

Adobe CS3
Mac 10.5.8
Hi, I recently brought a new HP Printer (HP Photosmart B110) and installed the software for for it and all the colour profiles for the papers were visible in the drop down box (they were HP Premium Photo, HP Advance and HP Premium Plus Photo) but after updating the drivers they all vanished (see image for InDesign and Illustrator examples).
I contacted HP and uninstalled all the HP software as well as deleting HP related files and then reinstalled the software again but the Colour Profiles were still not visible. I have contacted HP again and they have said that it's something to do with my Adobe software so I was wondering if anyone can help me with solving this problem?
Thanks
Chris

HP is fond of pointing the finger at Adobe, and in fairness their drivers often don't work well with InDesign (HP printers account for the largest number of printer related problems on the forum by far, and I don't think it's just due to market share), but installing color profiles has NOTHING to do with any Adobe software. If the profiles were being installed properly by the HP installer, they's be in the system someplace (probably the colorsynch folder) and they'd be available to other programs even if Adobe apps didn't find them.
If the HP low-level tech feeds you that "it's an Adobe problem" BS again, immediately ask to be escalated to someone who knows what they are talking about, and take names.

R2400 Paper Size Settings in InDesign and Illustrator - Leopard 10.5.2

Since upgrading to Leopard 10.52 from Tiger 10.4.11, the "Paper Size" settings (in InDesign CS3) and the "Media Size" settings in Illustrator CS3 show some funky designations. That is, all the paper sizes have some cryptic appendages. For example, the 13x19 paper sizes are being displayed as follows:
SuperB(13x19in)(EPSON_3)
SuperB(13x19in)(EPSON_11)
SuperB(13x19in)(EPSON_12)
SuperB(13x19in)(EPSON_13)
SuperB(13x19in)(EPSON_31)
SuperB(13x19in)(EPSON_32)
SuperB(13x19in)(EPSON_33)
However, when I click on the "Page Setup..." button, the paper sizes for 13x19 are displayed correctly:
Super B (13x19 in)
Super B (13x19 in) (Sheet Feeder - Borderless)
Super B (13x19 in) (Roll Paper)
Super B (13x19 in) (Roll Paper - Borderless)
Super B (13x19 in) (Manual - Roll)
Super B (13x19 in) (Manual - RollBorderless))
Super B (13x19 in) (Manual -Front)
If I first select the needed paper size within the "Page Setup..." button and then come back out to select the Paper/Media Size outside the "Page Setup..." button, in some cases, the selected driver has changed according to what *might* be the equivalent to what was selected inside the "Page Setup..." button, but in some cases the selected driver outside the "Page Setup..." button does not change.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver, which is the latest version for 10.5.2. I'm not sure what's going on here, but this issue is only occurring with InDesign and Illustrator (CS3) -- not in Photoshop CS3, Lightroom CS3, Word 2004, Excel 2004, or Apple Mail. It seems like it's only an issue for InDesign and Illustrator because they have the separate the "Page Setup..." function?
Any ideas on what's going on?

Hi, Ian --
No problem joining in, as I experienced color issues with InDesign CS3 in Tiger, before upgrading to Leopard. While my prints are not showing as much disparity as yours seem to be, the output of a file of mine containing only color swatches that was originally created in InDesign CS2 does not match the output of the same file printed from InDesign CS3. The InDesign CS2-created file was printing out off-colored and muddy looking when printed from InDesign CS3 -- very bad.
As you can read from the link below, however, when I created a new InDesign CS3 file and set up the very same color percentages for the swatches, the output from that file was MUCH better, although it is slightly darker and a little too vivid. While it's a very close match, it still does not accurately represent the true values of those color swatches.
This info may not help your situation. I hope you'll at least get some much improved results very soon.
Deb

InDesign and Illustrator freeze overnight

For the last month or so both InDesign and Illustrator have been freezing on me at some point during the night every night. They'll work fine during the day, but will then be completely unresponsive when I come into the office in the morning. I do a Force Quit on both of them and then relaunch. It isn't effecting my ability to get work done, it's just an annoying way to start the day. Meanwhile Photoshop continues to run fine, without any freezing whatsoever.
This started happening when I was on Snow Leopard and continues now that I'm on Lion. I suspected it might be my Suitcase Fusion 3 font management software, but Extensis were unable to figure it out.
Here are my basics:
Adobe CS 5 (InDesign 7.0.4, Illustrator 15.0.2)
Lion (10.7.2)
Suitcase Fusion 3 (14.1.1)
I did a sample of each through the Activity Monitor.
InDesign: http://pastebin.com/uEv0s0kG
Illustrator: http://pastebin.com/Tnd9bDcP
Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Sorry for the delay.
It's quite clear from your sample process data that Suitcase is to blame:
Call graph:
    2372 Thread_266186   DispatchQueue_1: com.apple.main-thread (serial)
    + 2372 start (in Adobe InDesign CS5) + 54 [0x27a6]
    +   2372 main (in Adobe InDesign CS5) + 187 [0x288b]
    +     2372 GetPlugIn (in AppFramework) + 14282 [0xf1284fa]
    +       2372 ??? (in AppFramework) load address 0xf100000 + 0x2d28 [0xf102d28]
    +         2372 GetPlugIn (in AppFramework) + 246108 [0xf160e8c]
    +           2372 GetPlugIn (in AppFramework) + 242229 [0xf15ff65]
    +             2372 SuitcaseIdleTask::RunTask(unsigned long, IdleTimer*) (in ExtensisFontManagementIDCS5) + 710 [0x1aa3eb16]
    +               2372 CoreAgentInterface::ProcessNotifications() (in ExtensisFontManagementIDCS5) + 232 [0x1aa4ec0c]
That is, out of 2372 measurement samples, in all of them, Suitcase was the process running, and running its "Idle Task."

Adobe Creative Suite Design CS6 - PhotoShop, InDesign and Illustrator immediately shuts down after startup

I'm troubleshooting for a customer who have Adobe Creative Suite Design CS6.
His programs suddenly wont start, they launches and starts to read plug-ins and open up a workspace, but then without warning/error it shuts down. no log, error message or anything...
It's the same for PhotoShop, InDesign and Illustrator both in 32 bit and 64.
He is running the suit on a Hp EliteBook 8560p with Windows 7 Pro x64 sp1.
He also have had a Wacom Bamboo CTE 650 penpad installed before.
This is what I've done so far:
* Uninstall the whole suit and reinstalled it again (Done this 3-4 times, manually deleted regestry-files, used CClean and other cleaning tools)
* Deleted the wacom-drivers with controlpanel tool, Windows driver Clean tool, CClean and manually deleted registry-keys and files.
* Uninstall Anti-Virus software and replaced it with another, inactivated AV and Windows Firewall.
* Deleted register-files for the suits and "reregister" them again.
* Full patch both for windows and adobe softwares.
* Reboot between each step
Any suggestions?
I have to add that adobe support for this $2000 software really sucks...
Thanks!

Problem solved!
I went through all the folders associated with adobe cs6 and renamed them (one by one) so they would be recreated.
I did this before but seems like I missed this specific one.
Anyway, when I renamed the folder "SLCache" in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\ and then ran the applications one by one as administrator I was prompted to enter a serial-key again and log in to my Adobe-ID.

Color Separations in InDesign and Illustrator

I am trying to print spot color separations. In both InDesign and Illustrator the "separations" is gray. I can only print RGB and grayscale.
My colors are set up as spot. I even tried to print from Acrobat and "separations" is gray there also. Do I need to re-install my drivers or the programs.
I am trying to print to postscript printers but neither one lets me select separations.
I am using CS3
Microsoft Windows XP
Professional
Version 2002
Service Pack 2
Intel(R) Core (TM)2CPU
6600 @ 2.40 GHz
2.93 GB RAM
Thanks in advance for your help.

I’m not familiar with those models. Are the PostSCript compatible? If so, then you should get the most recent drivers from the manufacturers’ websites. It’s been ages since I needed to worry about printer drivers in Windows, but maybe you need a PostScript printer utility or printer driver from Adobe, too.

Only in a admin session works InDesign and Illustrator!

When I open some products (Indesgin for example) in a session without admin permission, it doesn't work. All is well y I open the software in a admin session but I don't like to use admin session normally, only for instalations.
It's not so safe to work continously in an admin session, and I don't want to do it.
Could you help me?

Adobe InDesign downloaded from Adobe Creative Cloud, It´s supposed last

INDESIGN AND ILLUSTRATOR DVD

It is no longer possible to purchase indesign and illustrator?

Below is an image of what I see on the page I linked. I am in the USA, so if you are not you might see something different. As you can see, the individual products are offered.
While the pricing is for the USA, if you look at the pricing of the Creative Suite 6 Design Standard package, the price for it is the same as if you purchased Illustrator and InDesign as separate products. So if you did buy the package you actually get what you wanted at the same price but get the benefit of the four other applications being included...
Photoshop CS6
Illustrator CS6
InDesign CS6
Acrobat X Pro
Bridge CS6
Media Encoder CS6

Indesign and Illustrator CS6 crash upon opening. Photoshop is fine.

Hi,
Everytime I launch CS6 indesign and illustrator i keep getting the classic "indesign quit unexpectedly..." message. I have already run the Adobe Application Manager and updated everything and uninstalled, reinstalled both items again and yes I have restarted.
Falling drastically behind on work and looking for solutions fast! Any ideas anyone? Very gratefully received!
Thanks

did you clear the caches?
and onthe off-chance that ID got far enough to leave something behind, find the InDesign Recovery folder (a hidden folder, I think, since Snow Leopard or Lion) and empty it if there's anything there.

CS4 InDesign (and Illustrator) not printing in Lion OS environment

I have had no trouble installing CS4 in a Lion environment on my Mac. However, while I can open and edit files, I cannot print anything. Nor can I edit or change the print presents or anything at all related to printing. InDesign (and Illustrator) just drop out. Bang. Just like that. No error reporting at all. Photoshop, however, prints just fine. I get crash report dialog boxes for both Adobe and Apple but have so far had no answers. PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN
BTW I have called Adobe several times, waited literallly for hours, and once paid for support but the line dropped out. Next call, another wait of between 30 minutes and 1.5 hours, and the call dropped out again. I am so cross.

Unfortunately, this is a user to user forum, and rarely does anyone from Adobe cross path here with the users, nor do the customer care staff. Sorry you had issues with them though, I personally have never dealt with them.
Considering both programs are acting "wonky", perhaps you could try to install your printer again. Or perhaps get an updated Driver for the printer?
I'm not a Mac user. But when I was, peripherals on my Mac went wonky with new installs of software regularly. It was always worth unplugging the peripheral, restarting the computer and see if the issue persists.
I'd try rebooting the the computer without the printer plugged in. Then once booted, install the printer again. And see if it helps.

Hi, I downloaded, activated, registered both on my laptop and desktop Adobe CC InDesign and Illustrator. I am paying a monthly fee. The problem is, when I start my program, it keeps asking me to register my program and it says my free trial is over.

Can you check into this for me.

If you want Adobe to check it you'll need to contact them (use CHAT) but you could try checking whether you just need to SIGN IN to your apps.
