Guaranteed Crash – Adding page via Pages panel

Hiya,
When I try to add a page to my document or organise existing pages – via the Pages panel – InDesign freezes and I end up force quitting.
Its with this one specific document for some reason...
Anyone has the same issue?
Thanks,

The usual order of things is to try an export to .idml, if that fails move the pages to a new doc (that  is NOT the same as reconstruction), and finally more drastic measures like reconstruction.
To move the pages, make a new file with the same page size, then rename the master page to something you didn't use in the original. Open the Paragraph Styles panel and from the flyout menu choose import styles and import all text styles from the original file (you can get away with only doing [Basic Paragraph] as the others will come in with the text, anyway, if they are in use).
In the original doc, open the Pages Panel and select all the pages, then from the flyout menu choose Move Pages... and as the destination choose the new file and Before Page 1. After the move, delete the last page of the new file (the old blank page 1). Save As with a new name.

  • Indesign CC 2014 crashes when duplicated pages within pages panel

    running InDesign CC 2014 - mavericks 10.9.3. If I have content on say page one and within the pages panel I click and drag page one to the new page icon (something I do all the time to duplicate a page and it's content) it crashes InDesign. This is happening when I have copy pasted gradient mesh objects from illustrator to indesign. they paste in just fine, and I can copy paste those objects around, but not the whole page within the page panel

    Hello march67,
    Thanks for the test file. We could reproduce the crash.
    We've identified the reason for the crash in your file. The problematic object is the RSS feed icon at the top right of the spread.
    We've determined a fix for the crash and it should be available to all users in one of the upcoming patches. In the meanwhile, to prevent the crash, you could use the following workaround : Cut this object onto the clipboard. Duplicate the spread. Then paste the icon back in its place (Edit > Paste in Place).
    Sorry for the trouble.
    Thanks,

  • Suggestion: Adding a "Pages Panel" in Edge Reflow, similar to Adobe Fireworks

    Hello Adobe Team:
    I realize ER is mostly to set up fluid layout prototypes, which so far I'm loving this software.  Especially the feature of your align panel. 
    But, I have a suggestion that I would love to see implemented in the near future. 
    Allowing for more than one File to be opened in ER
    Adding a "Pages Panel" similar to the Fireworks pages panel
    Master Page
    Pages

    Thanks for the suggestion!  I filed a Feature Request in our public github at: https://github.com/edge-reflow/issues/issues/38
    If you have a free github account, feel free to add additional feature requests there.  Posting them here is fine, too!

  • Indesign CS6 crashes when using pages panel - problem solutions?

    Problem:
    Indesign freeze up if I try to use pages panel and either: move - add or delete pages.
    I have now tried to remove and reinstall Indesign and also tried removing "preferences" when starting Indesign (as suggested from another site).
    Problem started quite sudden.
    Desperate need suggestions to solve problem!

    Please! Is there no one who can help?
    I'm working with a 208 page document and need to be able to move pages around to make the best design possible.
    This is impossible as every time I access the page panel InDesign freeze up and have to restart the program.
    I'm working on PC with Windows 8.  Problem seem to be sudden as explained over, and I have not been able to find any solution on internet.
    As said over, I tried to remove “preferences” when starting InDesign but this made no changes to my problem.
    In addition to above problem, I also had problems with being unable to move Objects, text fields etc.  This was only possible when using arrow keys. From various suggestions on internet, I actually ended up uninstalling Google Chrome. This solved the problem in moving objects/text fields around, but my problem in moving pages still exists.
    I have no desire in removing everything else but InDesign from my PC and hope to get a tip on solving my problem quick as time is of essence.

  • Create PDF Directly from Pages Panel

    Hi, everybody,
    Can anyone help me locating a free script that allows to create single pdf pages (or range of selected pages) using the page thumbnails in the Pages Panel and choosing the function with the right button of the mouse.
    I know it exists and its a free script. I have worked with it In IDCS5 but I have lost its trail on a computer that have crashed and I cannot find it anymore using Google.
    Greetins and thank you in advance,

  • Pages panel: Option-drag to duplicate broken in CS6

    For some reason, the ability to quickly duplicate a page or spread in the Page panel via an Option-drag doesn't work in CS6. If I try to, say, Option-drag page 3 to insert a duplicate of it between pages 8 and 9, all it does is move page 3 there. To get the desired result, I have to first duplicate the page (which inserts it at the end of my document), then drag it to the proper place.  
    Option-drag to duplicate/insert worked fine in previous versions, and it's expected behavior on the Mac. Am I missing something here?

    Thanks, Bob!
    I've also noticed that sometimes Option-drag does nothing at all. I get a spinning beachball for a second, then... nothing.
    I'm hesitant to believe that trashing my preferences will fix this, as I've seen this happen on two separate Macs.

  • In Yahoo Mail, when composing an email I get an "Asking to leave this page" panel; it does not matter whether i choose stay or leave, the panel pops up again....and again...the only way out is to Force Quite Firefox and start all over...help please...

    In Yahoo Mail, when composing an email I get an "Asking to leave this page" panel; it does not matter whether i choose stay or leave, the panel pops up again....and again...the only way out is to Force Quite Firefox and start all over...help please...

    Thanks for responding....but isn't your potential solution designed for Windows users? I have a Mac.
    If it does apply to Mac, I am also hoping for something simpler as this could take weeks to isolate the problem and it would be more efficient to use another browser for mail
    Also, I should have added, this problem occurs only occasionally and seemingly only when I am taking some time to compose a message

  • Page numbers in page panel don't match current page numbers

    Hi all,
    I have been working with InDesign for a decade now and never had this problem.
    I created a document in InDesign CS 5.5, very simple and with consecutive pages, no sections etc.
    My page numbers show up correctly on my spreads. BUT, for some reason, the numbers that are shown in the page panel, underneath the page icons, are different. The first page is named "11", followed by 12-17, then the numbers jump to 111, 112 etc. I selected all pages and chose "Numbering and Section Options", setting them all to automatic page numbering, but to no avail.
    As I said, the actual page number on the page is unaffected. But this bugs me since I am afraid that the document is somehow messed up.
    I am using a simple InDesign document, no book file.
    Any idea why this would happen?
    Thank you so much!

    Thank you - I just found the solution to my problem (after playing around some more), and it turns out to be rather simple. In Numbering & Section Options, the Section Prefix was set to "1" - this field needs to be clear. That's why InDesign would add a 1 to every number.

  • Is there a way to disable drag-and-drop on the pages panel?

    Hi, I'm using Indesign CS3 on Windows XP.  My computer is a laptop and the problem I'm having is that when I have the pages panel open, I have sometimes drag-and-dropped pages of a document into a new order without meaning to (the laptop touch pad seems made for these butterfingers-type moves).  The documents that I'm laying out are several hundred pages long, so sometimes I don't notice that I've screwed a few pages up until much later.  If there is any way to just turn this feature off, that would be great.  Due to the arrangement in which I usually work best (on a sofa), I would prefer not to have to attach an actual mouse to the laptop. Thank you for any help.

    Not that I know of.

  • Can you make each page show a different name in the pages panel?

    I would like to be able to name each page with a different name so they display in the pages panel (under the page icon) with a different name for each page rather than just 1, 2, 3 etc. eg. page one called 'Matt', page 2 called 'Satin', page 3 'Gloss. Is this possible?
    Thanks

    Yes, but it might not work the way you fully intend.
    On each page in the "pages" panel, right click and choose 'Numbering & Section Options'.
    From the popup, select 'Start Page Numbering At' and add the page number. Eg, Page 1 would be 1, Page 2 would be 2 etc (you need to do this for each page)If you don't want numbers, you can select from their 'Style' dropdown but you must select something
    In the 'Section Prefix' box, enter the text you would like displayed - Matt, Satin, Gloss etc
    If you want these names to show up in the document as a page number, select 'Include prefix when numbering pages'
    The result of this is that each page is now it's own section of the document.

  • [JS CS3] Page side when adding pages

    Hello all,
    I am using a script to remove oversets by adding pages with linked text frames to the end of the document. When I am done removing the oversets, I check to make sure the document ends on a left page; if not, I am using the code below to add an extra page. However, the page ends up as a second right hand page right next to the previous one. How do I ensure that the page I add is a left-hand page. Thanks in advance.

    // Set a variable for the active document.
    var oDoc = app.activeDocument;
    // Call a function to remove the oversets
    // Make sure the document ends on a left page.
    if (oDoc.pages[-1].side == PageSideOptions.RIGHT_HAND)
    AddPageAndLinkedTextFrame(oDoc);
    function AddPageAndLinkedTextFrame(oDoc)
    var oPage = oDoc.pages.add(LocationOptions.AFTER,oDoc.pages[-1]);
    var oTextFrame = oPage.textFrames.add();
    oTextFrame.geometricBounds = GetPageMarginBounds(oDoc,oPage);
    oTextFrame.previousTextFrame = oDoc.pages[-2].textFrames[0];

    in "standard" document - without page shuffling, etc. - you can do something like this (VB):
    if mydoc.pages.item(a) mod 2 then
    ' right page
    else
    ' left page
    endif

  • Page Thumbnails not displaying in Pages Panel

    Hi all,
    Hopefully a quick question...I've searched through the Forum and not spotted a similar issue.
    I have a user who is experiencing an unusual issue in InDesign CS6 - Page Thumbnails aren't displaying in the Pages Panel (such that the panel is completely blank - no new page icon etc.), and Swatches aren't displaying in the Swatches Panel (default swatches or new swatches - the panel is completely blank).  I've checked all of the Panel Display options, and have toggled the thumbnail display size up/down, and on/off to no avail.  This problem is also non-document specific, it's happening on all documents either previously saved or freshly created.  I've also tried multiple workspaces and that hasn't helped.
    I've also tried binning the preferences  and this hasn't helped...   
    Any thoughts where to start?  My hunch is possibly plugins not working/missing, but I'm not sure what/where to check.
    Any help would be very much appreciated...
    Al

    I hate to have to bump an old topic, but replacing my prefs doesn't work either. Tried restarting the computer too. Nothing really works and I hate to have to waste time reinstalling when I doubt that would help at this point. (hates windows).

  • No option to Load Master Pages on Pages Panel (Windows)

    Hi there.... I'm a longtime user in the Mac platform, but am now doing some smaller projects in a Windows platform. The Load Master Pages is not even listed among the choices when I view the Pages panel using CS6. What doi need to toggle on/off and where is it in order to get this option in the menu list please? Thanks for your help as I'm really at a loss here. 

    I understood that is where this was being posted, as that was the forum I chose. If not, twas not intentional.

  • InDesign CS4 page numbering not displaying correctly in Pages Panel

    Hello,
    I searched the forums for a solution to my problem before posting. I am sorry if I'm doubling someone's question but here I go:
    I noticed this problem I have about 6 month ago. When I create a simple document with automatic page numbering everything is fine. When I try and create a section (i.e. I want my numbering to start at 1 at page 3) it actually works however in the Pages Panel the pages are displayed with their basic numbers. You will agree this is rather confusing. I've tryed different files, same files on different computers and so on. The problem has to do with my installation of InDesign CS4 and I suppose it's some kind of a display option I accidentally turned on.
    Could someone please suggest a solution? Thank you!
