How rebuild path links from files in InDesign cs6

I work with Indesign cs6, in a workgroup with synchronized files at my HD, from a virtual disk (cloud), and bacause of this, the path linked files got the computer name (ex.: computer1/folderx/file.indd).
How many people edit the same file, many times the path do not is update when the file is opened at other computer. There is any way to change the path files in a easy way (manually)? Or make the Indesign search for files with broken links automatically from a new "root" or main folder in computer?

This feature does not exist in InDesign. You're best hope is that you have a backup of the previous file. Moving forward, you might want to try a free product called Radish that allows you to save versions and revert back to previous versions when needed. Here's a blog post I wrote about the product Story Versioning in InCopy | InCopySecrets.

  • How do I save my file using InDesign CS6 so that it can be opened with CS5?

    I know other people asked similar questions but I can't find anything that helps me figure my issue out.
    Basically, I packaged my file using InDesign CS6. When I sent it to the person it needed to be sent to, she couldn't open it. She was running CS5.
    So now I'm trying to REpackage it still using CS6 but when I make an IDML version and try to package it, it says that I need to SAVE it. Well the only options are CS6, which I can't use again, and another IDML version. If I did the IDML it would just save it as another untitled document and then I'd have to start all over.
    Actually I just tried that, and InDesign crashed.
    Any suggestions?

    Hey,
    There is no such function in InDesign as 'saving to a lower version' (as it is in e.g. FrameMaker). There are interchange formats: obsolete INX (CS2,CS3,CS4) and current IDML (CS5, CS5.5, CS6).
    You need to export (ctrl+e) previously saved document into IDML and attach to existing INDD file (Attaching is not necessary as IDML is a self-sufficient file). Also it's a really good idea to attach a PDF file (from CS6) as there might be some differences when opening a IDML from higher file in lower version program.
    Final package could look like this:
         Document fonts
         Links
              original file.indd
              original file.idml
              original file.pdf
    best regards

    How to import a Photoshop file into Indesign CS6 so that it's layers show in InDesign and it can then be edited/saved as an InDesign file?

    What do you mean by "adjust"? Editing of Photoshop images should be done in Photoshop.
    Sure, it's possible to save individual layers from an image in Photoshop as inidvidual files in a variety of formats, but what's the point? You could just as easily import the layered file, then copy/paste it into a new layer for each layer in the image and use layer visibility to control which ones show. I don't think that will do you a lot of good, though, if you use adjustment layers or opacity controls on the layer in Photoshop.

  • How do I print to a postscript file with InDesign CS6 without both extensions, .indd.ps?

    How do I print to a postscript file without an .indd extension in InDesign CS6? I choose Print, choose a print preset from my print shop and Save. The first time I tried it was blank (the Hide Extension was checked), so I tried to save and got a dialog box that said it cannot be saved as an .indd file (duh), to choose both or .ps. I chose .ps and it was fine, but every time I postscripted it gave me this dialog box until I unchecked Hide Extension. After I did that, every time I postscript it automatically saves both extensions. Not a big deal but it is annoying. I just want it to end with .ps like it used to. Any ideas on how to fix this?
    Thanks!!

    I have no idea but I am incredibly curious...why are you doing this?
    Printing to postscript is a completely archaic workflow. Export to PDF
    instead.

  • How do I add a zoom function to a digital magazine (.swf file) in InDesign CS6?

    Hi,
    Im creating an interactive digital magazine for our company which will go on the iPad, but also online for computers.
    The iPad (.folio) has zoom functions, but on screen (.swf) the magazine is very static and peaple can't zoom and scroll (the zooming buttons function in InDesign doesn't work here).
    So, how do I add a zoom function to a digital magazine (.swf file) in InDesign CS6?
    (I read older posts regarding this problem in CS5... It's not possible for me to purchase an additional product for that. I have Flash, if there is a tutorial on how to do it, that'd be helpful too)
    Thanks for your help!
    Best regards!

    Although the help implies this should work, and I've seen it written in a book to do things this way, it's not how I do things:
    var content_req1:URLRequest = new URLRequest("text/hales.txt");
    var content_ldr:URLLoader = new URLLoader(content_req1);
    content_ldr.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete1);
    Instead, try:
    var content_req1:URLRequest = new URLRequest("text/hales.txt");
    var content_ldr:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
    content_ldr.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete1);
    content_ldr1.load(content_req1);

  • How do I create an interactive PDF file in InDesign CS6 with Folio Overlays?

    I have been trying to export an interactive PDF file using InDesign CS6. It exports fine, and all the content works except for the Folio Overlays I created. I created two Folio Overlays (one Pan & Zoom and one Scrollable Frame). The overlays work if I preview them from the Folio Overlays panel, but they do not work on the PDF document.
    I am using File >> Export... to create the PDF document, and I am sure the PDF document is of the interactive type and not the print type. Am I exporting it incorrectly? Is there a specific step that I have missed somewhere? Do I need to create a Folio Build to make the Folio Overlays work?
    When I mouse over the Folio Overlays, I get the crosshair cursor which only selects part of the image when I click and drag it.

    PDF is one thing. Folios for DPS is another. There is a little bit of
    overlap but not much.
    The interactivity in the folio overlays panel is for DPS only.

  • How can i link from VBRK to VBKD?

    I need to know how I can link from VBRK to VBKD.

    Hi Scott Strong,
    You can not link this tables directly because one is in Billing and another is in sales business data
    VBRK-VBELN (Billing Doc) ==> pass it to VBFA (Document Flow) and get VBAK-VBELN (Sale Order)
    Thne Using VBAK and VBAP (VBELN and POSNR) Data get VBKD information
    Hope it will solve your problem..

  • How to I add ADPDF9 PPD to the printer description file in InDesign CS6?

    I am having problems creating a clean PS file for booklet spreads and was advised to add ADPDF9 PPD to the printer description file in InDesign CS6. Can someone please tell me how to do this?

    @Ihatecomputers – yes. Quite simple, if you have the PPD file at hand:
    On Max OSX:
    1. Go to Applications / Adobe inDesign CS6 / Presets
    2. Create a folder with the following exact name: PPDs
    3. Copy ADPDF9.PPD into that folder
    Restart InDesign.

  • Import/Place .odt files in Indesign CS6

    Hi,
    Can we place/import .odt files in Indesign CS6? If yes, how?
    Or do we need to convert them into other specific word formats so that the content & styles remain the same.
    Thanks.

    Save as Word file.
    InDesign can't import ODF files - so you'll have to use a format or application that does support.
    I don't know if the index entries are kept when going from ODF to Word.

  • How to open a idml file created by CS6 in CS5?

    I created a file in InDesign CS6 and saved as idml file yesterday.
    But today I can not open either in CS6 or CS5 version.
    It says
    "Cannot open the file "Project #3.idml". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application."
    Is there anyother way could open this file?

    I chose from the drop-down list.
    Maybe not.
    Anyway, thank you very much!

  • How do I upgrade from CS5.5 to CS6 and how much does it cost in New Zealand?

    How do I upgrade from CS5.5 to CS6 and how much does it cost in New Zealand?

    If you don't want to go the Cloud route and subscribe then Adobe still sells CS6 (online only) via their website
    http://www.adobe.com/au/products/catalog/cs6._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_software_s l_creativesuite6.html
    (make sure you're in the NZ store - check the Country the link above the Copyright at the bottom LHS of the page)
    Select your product then click Buy
    I want to buy: Select Upgrade from the dropdown menu
    I own: <select your existing CS5.5 product>
    Complete your purchase.
    Upgrade cost depends on which CS5.5 suite you own and which CS6 suite you want to upgrade to.

  • Editing Photoshop CS6 file using InDesign CS6

    I need to edit a Photoshop CS6 file using InDesign CS6. Specifically, I am editing a business card and want to make changes to the layered components (for example: changing color hues, changing logo, changing fonts) and I know nothing about InDesign. Can anyone give me some pointers?

      The thing is, I don’t have Photoshop or Illustrator; I only have InDesign CS6 and I want to do the following:
    Deepen the colors
    Swap the logo for another one
    Change the font
    I am not able to access the layers because I used the place function to insert the jpeg file in the InDesign document. I remember once being able to access the layered document, but I don't remember how. I tried opening the Photoshop file using InDesign, but it doesn't come up as a readable file.

  • Hi, Might I know that how to setup the printer setting at InDesign CS6 for the Lable print?

    Hi, Might I know that how to setup the printer setting at InDesign CS6 for the Lable print?

    Label printing isn't something you set up in the print dialog in ID. If your print driver has an n-up feature that might work, but in general you need to create pages of labels to fit your sheets in ID, then print. If you are talking about doing a merge of an address list, read about Data Merge in thehelp files.
