Help me revert from Indesign CC (2014) to Indesign CC

Hi! I recently upgraded my Indesign to CC (2014) and want to revert back to Indesign CC (previous version) so my workmate can work with my files. I am a creative Cloud member.

I think that it's just a bug in InDesign. It happens with CS6 as well.

Help! Reverted from SL back to 10.5, now can't access old TM backups!

Hi folks,
So I decided to go back to Leopard after having too many problems with SL, particularly Office. I had to do an erase and install, and now when I try to restore from one of my pre-SL backups on TM, it says the entire TM drive is not accessible because it was created with a "Newer version of MAc OS X".
Is there anything I can do to get my Backup drive back as an accessible TM? Or can I only just copy the data over and format the backup to a new TM system?
Thanks!!

Most likely, your Leopard install disc was an older version than the one you were last running from, and you didn't install the "combo" update to get back to it.
But as Kiraly says, the best thing to do is a full restore of your entire system. See item #14 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip* at the top of this forum.

Is any one else have issues with interactive PDF output from InDesign CC (2014)

I am currently trying to produce a document with a level of interactivity I have achieved many times before.
The interactivity is just a web style menu, show/hide the menu shows button set one, clicking on those shows a second set of buttons, and clicking in one of those goes to destination page and hides all menu buttons once more.
When output from ID CC 2014 the result is loads of missing buttons and no working menu.
Its not a corrupt ID file. I tried a brand new empty file, recreated basic structure with simple one state buttons and achieved similarly useless results.
If I back save using IDML and open in CS5, export from there, it works beautifully, so problem is not as many have been recently, to do with Acrobat browsers.
If I back save and open in InDesign CC (not 2014), export from there, it doesn't work, so problem is shared there!
Anybody any suggestions? Experienced similar and found a cure?
SOLVED BY A COLLEAGUE:
You can (no longer) use full stops/decimal points in button naming. Menu was hierarchically labelled as 1, (1.1, 1.2), (1.1.1, 1.1.2) etc.
Renamed 1_1, 1_1_2 etc and all functionality has returned. Why you could and now you can't, who knows!
Hope this helps you if you stumble across here with the same issue.

Thank you for reporting this.
I would consider this a bug in InDesign CC v9.x and v10.x and would report it:

Missing content exporting from InDesign CC 2014 to Flash Pro CC 2014

Dear all,
to produce a larger number of similar animated swf's, I wanted to create all necessary text and graphic layers in InDesign CC 2014, then export as *.fla to Flash Pro CC 2014 for "bulk" animation.
Finally it should then just be a case of selecting the correct layers and publishing.
The problem: When exporting from InDesign to Flash, all layers are recognized but initially apart from the text layers they were shown as empty items without the content.
Rescaling the placed images in InDesign to be no larger than the final document helped to now also have the images when opening the exported *.fla in Flash.
I am still missing all other InDesign objects though, e.g. even a simple colored rectangular will not show in Flash.
Any help to fix this issue would be greatly appreciated. Searching for it only brought up a couple of tutorials that do not seem to have this issue.
Best regards
Christopher

Color problems printing from InDesign CC 2014 (and CC)

When I print an ad I'm working on from InDesign, the color is off by a lot. If I save the doc as a pdf, it prints correctly from the pdf. If I print from the same InDesign doc on another machine, it prints fine. The problem is not only with this document. Using Bridge I have synched the color, restarted the computer, reinstalled InDesign CC 2014, trashed the Preferences—basically I've done everything listed on the InDesign printing troubleshooting page. Since the documents print correctly from another machine (all the settings are the same), I shouldn't have to use a work-around. I can't be making a pdf every time I need to print from InDesign—which is all the time. Any help appreciated.

Are you using the same printer and driver on both machines?

Transferred CS4 to new MacBook Pro, now some fonts will not work when PDFing documents from InDesign CS4. Help!

I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro. I transferred my CS4 from my older MacBook Pro to my new computer, and although it seemed to be working fine now some fonts will not work when PDFing documents from InDesign CS4. These fonts are installed on my new computer, can be found in InDesign CS4, and work fine within the program but will not appear in PDFs. The letters turn into rectangles. Does anyone know why, and how to fix that?
Help/input would be much appreciated. Thank you!
Kristen.

you should properly install adobe products, not move, migrate or otherwise transfer them.

Data Export From InDesign CS6 to Excel Please Help

Hi!
I need to export text from a 416 page catalog into an excel document. The text is formatted with paragraph and character style sheets, but the text frames do not link together. Or is there a way to export the text from InDesign with the page number into a text file, then the text file into an Excel document. Thank you so much for your help!

That is not possible. You're going from a "smart" layout application to a dumb one.
I don't think you could even place it as a PDF file of the text into Word and have it work.

Porting an InDesign Plugin from InDesign CC to InDesign CC 2014 the plugin complies successfully with the InDesign CC 2014 SDK but at run time presents this error and is disabled. Does anyone know what might be the issue?

Porting an InDesign Plugin from InDesign CC to InDesign CC 2014 the plugin complies successfully with the InDesign CC 2014 SDK but at run time presents this error and is disabled. Does anyone know what might be the issue?
Run TimeError Message Presented when InDesign CC 2014 runs:
Adobe InDesign cannot load the FastFractions.InDesignPlugin plug-in. The FastFractions.InDesignPlugin plug-in requires the 9.0 version of InDesign. Please contact the vendor to get a compatible version of FastFractions.InDesignPlugin.
Show this alert again?

As already told this means that the plugin has not been ported correctly. Some part of it for ex InDesign libraries or frameworks are being referenced from the CC sdk instead of the CC2014 sdk. To troubleshoot it i would advise you to rename the folder containing the CC sdk on your machine and then compile the project, it will fail to compile and you will get to know straightaway what aspects of the ported project are still accessing the old sdk. Fix the errors and your plugin will load fine.
Thanks,

Why does Calendar keep reverting from full screen each time I exit the app?

I'm using a 2014 Macbook Air. It's running Yosemite.
Why does Calendar keep reverting from full screen each time I exit the app?
On my older Macbook at work, calendar stays full screen whether I exit the app or restart the computer (similar to Mail - which is staying in full screen on both computers).
Please help me adjust settings so I don't have to keep putting Calendar into full screen.
Thanks!

Why does my secondary leading from InDesign get lost when outputting to a flowable ePub?

The back page is InDesign and the top one is the eBook. The space above the first green bar (6 pt. deep box. 11/13 style, 10 pts above, none below) is good in eBook. Teaching Idea head (10/13, 3 pts. above. 2 below) has good space above and below in InDesign, lousy space above in eBook. Text is 10/12.5 with no secondary leading added above or below, and the lower green bar (another 6 pt box, 4 pts above and 1p1 below) has too much space above and not enough below in eBook. Can anyone explain what might be happening? Also, can you suggest a good source to learn to format for eBooks (fine with formatting for print, just need to know what to do differently for eBooks, what the quirks to watch for are. I'd really appreciate it. It was my 600th book (+/-) in print but it's my first eBook.
Thanks!

For us to help you more, you need to tell us what version of InDesign you're using. InDesign has made significant improvements in EPUB export with every version from InDesign CS 5.5 onward to the current InDesign CC 2014.
The best source of information on preparing files in InDesign are the videos by Anne-Marie Concepcion on Lynda.com. She has videos from CS5 onward. You can get a free week's subscription to Lynda.com.
The best book on eBook typography I have seen is called eBook Typography, by Chris Jennings on the Apple Store.

How do I link to Anchor Text from browser to PDF file exported from InDesign?

I see that this question was asked previously but not answered:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3737541
I need a way to link to topics (from an HTML page) within a structured PDF file generated from InDesign, i.e. one that has an interactive bookmarks
panel, that doesn't break the links when the file is updated.
In particular, I don't want to refer to:
* page numbers because the document will repaginate when it is updated, breaking existing links
* named destinations that are numeric as addition/deletion of topics renumbers the named destinations, breaking the links.
Is there any option in InDesign that creates named destinations derived from bookmark titles as that would seem to solve my problem?
I have a similar need, but I have not been able to find an answer anywhere online, even after a several hours of research.
I am on contract with General Electric to develop a UI Style Guide for an international team of developers. My client wants to be able to distribute the Style Guide as a PDF document, but needs to provide links to specific topics when submitting a "Story" in an Agile development environment to the programmers.
Ideally, I would like to be able to create "named destinations" in InDesign such that I can provide the client with a list of URLs similar to this format:
file:\\StyleGuide\Test1-20131024a.pdf\#nameddest=AnchorText-01
However, I can not figure out how to create "named destinations" in the PDF file from the InDesign file in which I have created the Anchor Text in the Hyperlinks tab.
Alternately, the client would be satisfied with the ability to link to specific bookmarks in the exported PDF file that have been derived from the configuration of the Table of Contents styles, but my research has led me to believe that it is not possible to hyperlink from a browser window to a bookmark in a PDF file (only to specific page numbers, search word lists, named destinations, and comments) as described here: http://blogs.adobe.com/tcs/2011/01/tcs-specific/linking-to-a-page-within-a-pdf-and-more.ht ml
Having been using InDesign since 1988, when it was PageMaker, I would prefer to use it to provide GE with the most attractive deliverable, but they are now leaning heavily toward having me licensed with Madcap Flare, which has this capability built in:

Please help me to find a solution that will allow me to continue using InDesign for this project.

Follow-up post (solution is not available):
I have just completed a phone call with Gaurev Sethi of Adobe escalated technical support in which I shared my screen to explain and demonstrate the desire to link from an external URL to a specific location within a PDF file that has been exported from InDesign. After 40 minutes, during which I was placed on hold a few times while he consulted with his team, it was determined that the desired functionality is not supported in InDesign and has been identified as a limitation of the software.
In researching alternate documentation software that supports PDF export, I discovered that Madcap Software supports this functionality in its Flare product:
http://webhelp.madcapsoftware.com/flare9/Default.htm#Nav_Links/Named_Destinations/Creating _Named_Destinations.htm
Note that linking via URL to a bookmarked location within a PDF is not supported:

Although the above link is for a previous version of Acrobat, I could find no evidence to the contrary in the current SDK documentation.

I need to create a PDF from InDesign that people can edit in Reader or Acrobat

I need to create a PDF from InDesign that people can edit (for example, change a name from "John" to "Johnny") from either Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat. I have already looked at forms, but they do not keep your font colors, faces, and sizes and just make everything that is selected as a text form Black, 12pt, Times New Roman.
Can anyone here help me?

Vincent,
If you use Acrobat pro, generate your .pdf file and then save it as (french version):
... so that anyone using Acrobat Reader (or Pro, of course) can modify the .pdf file (with limitations), add comments, ...
If you want to try to "protect" your .pdf file, you can try with this (in the "Préférences" menu (french version)):

New problem printing from InDesign CS4 in Lion

After having great success with Aisolve's earlier fix on printing from InDesign CS4 after upgrading to Lion, I'm having a new problems after installing the OS X 10.7.2 upgrade last week. When I try to print from InDesign CS4 and Illustrator CS4 to my Lanier 445c/Ricoh C4500 at my workplace I get the following error message:
"Printing Error: The Adobe Print Engine has failed to output your data due to an unknown problem."
This seems like a different issue this time, as I'm able to print to my home printers, an HP LasertJet 2600n and an HP Photosmart C4270. I thought it might be a printer driver problems, but I've gone to Lanier's site and they don't have any new printer drivers for Mac OS X 10.7.
I also some research on Adobe's site, and found this message affecting CS1, 2 & 3. I tried the only fix that seemed to apply to me, which was re-naming/deleting the InDesign Deafults and InDesign SavedData files. (I have this problems even when I'm printing a text-only file without any graphics.) This fix didn't work.
I can print to the Lanier/Ricoh from Acrobat 9, and all my non-Adobe software just fine, so my work-around to date has been exporting to PDF and printing from there. My big problem is that I need the "Print Booklet" feature in InDesign for a big job I've got coming up this week. Can't do that from Acrobat. :-(
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

mmsteer,
I think I may be able to help you with this problem, which I was having with CS4 when I first upgraded to Lion, and others were having with CS3. This fix is courtesy of Aisolve on these discussion boards:
Remove the Adobe PDF PPDs from the following folders:
OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/en.lproj,
OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Zh_CN.lproj,
OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Ja.lproj,
OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/ko.lproj,
OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Zh_TW.lproj,
Be sure to go to your system Library, not your user Library.
Also, regarding my current problem, I spoke with an Apple tech person and found that the 10.7.2 upgrade apparently is the culprit, and is incompatible with wireless printing to my Lanier printer. I CAN print connected through USB. That's a work-around for now, but I'll need to contact Lanier about upgrading their driver for OS X 10.7.2.
Aisolve was helping me with this issue, too, and assures me that if I'm able to generate a postscript file (which I was), and able to generate a PDF by distlling it through Adobe Distiller (which I am), then I can safely assume that the problem lies with the hardware, in this case the printer driver. This lines up with what Apple told me.

EPub Validation problems, exporting from InDesign

I've exported my indb file as an epub. When I run the epub through epub check I get three of the same error in three different chapters.
element "div" not allowed here; expected the element end-tag, text or element "a", "abbr", "acronym", "applet", "b", "bdo", "big", "br", "cite", "code", "del", "dfn", "em", "i", "iframe", "img", "ins", "kbd", "map", "noscript", "ns:svg", "object", "q", "samp", "script", "small", "span", "strong", "sub", "sup", "tt" or "var" (with xmlns:ns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg")
I can't figure out what it is in these chapters that might be causing the error. I have 29 chapters in the entire book and there is nothing about these three chapters that appears different from the rest. Does anybody have any ideas on how to fix this error?
Thanks so much for your help.

The two best references:
* Elizabeth Castro's eBooks on EPUB preparation from InDesign:

* Anne-Marie Concepcion's videos at www.lynda.com
(If Bob Levine shows up he could give a link for a free week, but he's pretty busy with the results of Sandy in NJ.)
