Hyperlinks and InDesign CS4

I have created a document in ID and created hyperlinks for several items featured in the document. Everything works fine except I want the hyperlinks to open in a new window.
In my example, the created pdf document is being emailed to my database. When my customer opens the email and clicks on the PDF, it opens as a pdf document but in a browser window. Now when they click an item in the document, it opens up to my website, but opens in the same window so they only way they can go back and view the pdf doc is to "go back". I want the pdf window left open and each time they click an item, a new browser window opens.
I should also mention that the exported PDF document works perfectly. The pdf doc opens in Adobe Acrobat and the hyperlink opens in a browser window, exactly as I want. The issue is when I insert this pdf document into a "newsletter" to go to my customers, it is inserted into a Browser window rather than opening in Acrobat. Sorry for the lengthy explanation and I hope it makes sense.
Here's the results of what my customers sees after they open my Newsletter: http://www.heirloomlinens.com/docs/flyer%20front%20page.pdf  The links to my website are all there but they don't open in a new window.
Any help would be appreciated.
Bob

Problem solved. Saved the pdf ias a jpg. Inserted the jpg into the news;etter and used an image map to create the links back to my website. All good now.

    Hi, Accidentally somebody screw up Photoshop CS4 and InDesign CS4 Master edition on a MAC computer in the school. The install discs did not start to run therefore I can't  reinstall the 2 missing programs. I want to install the softwares, therefore I download those from here.  The downloaded program refuse to accept the serial number which was given to the school when they purchased the Master Collection CS4 MLP A00. Thank you for your help, in advance.

    Hi Jeff,
    Thank you. I am a little bit busy at work, sorry for the delayed reply. I tried to solve the problem, but it still exists. The 3rd of the Adobe disk is damaged someway. I tried to run on my mac at home and it has a failure. So I think we have no other choice that to download the full pack of master collection. I had a discussion with the IT expert and he figured out that company does not exist any more from where they purchased the Adobe Master Collection for Mac and PC. So If you would be kind to help me, what kind of information ID or any kind of document would be needed to identify the purchaser institute (us). I don't think any of us has an account at the Adobe. I will try to figur out. I desperately need to replace Photoshop and InDesign as without them it's really harsh to teach the kids fot the graphic design.
    Sincerely yours.

  • Lexmark C743 and Indesign CS4 Problem

    Does anyone know why Indesign CS4 will only print to my Lexmark C734dn (a postscript 3 emulation printer) with the settings that are set via the printers own web page but not with the settings set in the InDesign print dialogue? Specifically I want to duplex print direct from InDesign. At present it seems one can only do this by exporting to a pdf and using Acrobat (where the options both appear and work).
    Many thanks for any help.
    James

    Since InDesign is an Adobe product you might want to contact them.
    Or, contact Lexmark about duplex printing with ID.

  • InCopy SC5 and InDesign CS4 compatibility

    Hello,
    I’m on an older Mac G5, 10.4.11 and I am running CS4. The editor I work with is on a new iMac, 10.6.3 Intel Core I3 with InCopy CS5.
    I’ve set-up my InDesign assignments for the editor to edit in InCopy.  My only options when creating the assignments were to save as CS3 or CS4. I’ve saved the assignments in CS4. The editor in InCopy isn’t able to see the layout view on some of the assignments/stories and also isn’t able to make any changes in any of the different views.
    When she tries to “check out” the file she is prompted with this message, “Unable to lock the following files:Workshop:PRODUCTION:INCOPY-INDESIGN EXHANCE:2010 Magazines-InCopy:HE10 Fall-InCopy:Celebrating 25years-Hiring .icml.”
    The InCopy files are located on a server we both can access. I’ve made sure that her username is correct when I assigned the files.
    My questions are could this be a server issue because the InCopy assignments are saved on a server and there is a problem with her username or password or could this be a compatibility issue between InDesign CS4 and InCopyCS5?
    Please help,
    spoimme

    The main problem is that you're on CS4 and the other person is on CS5. These applications were not meant to be used that way.
    You'll need a new computer to upgrade to CS5 for this work successfully (CS5 is Intel only). But I would also suggest that the editor run the CS5 7.0.2 patch which was released this morning and does address some issues that might be at work here.
    Even it does, you need to be aware that because of text engine changes you will not likely be able to get a true indication of copy fit from one person to the other.

  • Creative Suite CS3 and InDesign CS4 Issues

    Hi,
    I'm hoping this is the right place to post. I installed parts of Creative Suite CS3 on my system (just the basics, PS, ID, Illustrator, etc.).
    Later on I just got Photoshop CS4 and Installed that.
    Now, months later, I want to instally the rest of CS 3 on my system, yet half way through Disk 1, it ejects the disk and asks me to install the InDesign CS4 disk. I don't have InDesign CS4! I did install the trial version but then uninstalled it.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    A,
    Uninstall anything CS4 (use Adobe's uninstaller; do not just drag to trash). Install your CS3 components; then install Photoshop CS4 again. It would seem there is either some dependence upon certain components shared by both versions; or maybe it's the way some data is transfered behind the scenes from one version to the other.
    Remember to repair permissions and run DiskWarrior to fix any permissions, disk or directory issues that sometimes crop up.
    On a slightly different note, on my well-maintained system, I had the Master Collection CS3 on my Mac; then installed the Master Collection CS4. When I recently decided to uninstall most of CS3 (per instructions), I found that for a few CS4 apps, I had to enter my password the first time I launched them. But Photoshop would tell me some scripts were missing, and the solution was to uninstall Photoshop CS4 and reinstall it.
    Go figure!

  • Acrobat 9 and indesign CS4

    I have been using layers in acrobat 9 pro to do some hide/show layers with javascript. The problem i ran into is that if i needed to update the pdf, i would loose the layers i had created in the pdf and/or the javascript. I could preserve the javascript by using 'replace' pages in acrobat but the layers would be lost.
    I then decided to get indesign where i could create layers and then export them to the pdf, so every time i needed to redo the pdf, I didn't have to recreate the layers.
    PROBLEM
    If i create interactive buttons in indesign and then export them to a pdf, the pdf created is fine including interaction buttosn. However if i try to then update the original document by using 'replace' pages (this lets me keep the javascript), the buttons all disappear.
    Below is the pdf from indesign which functions correctly with the buttons.
    Below is the original pdf after i have imported the above using 'replace' pages. The buttons are still there and the mouse over works, but the images have disappeared including the prev/next arrows.
    What gives adobe. I have checked and double checked all settings for the export including layers, hyperlinks, objects, embed, you name it but no joy.
    Thanks to anyone with an answer.

    This thread can be closed.
    I had inadvertently tried to replace pages from an indesign created pdf into a non indesign created pdf and this created the problem.
    Once i create the pdf from indesign and then add the javascript to the exported interactions in acrobat, i can replace pages with no problem once i continue to create them with indesign which exports the layers. This way my layers and javascript all stay intact and i can happily keep recreating the pdf without lots of work on the backend.
    What acrobat does do is create a separate layer for the interactive buttons in the newly replaced document which i can then just merge into the page. which forms my background.
    I hope this helps someone else.

  • Configuration to run PS and Indesign CS4 Effectively

    Hello Adobe Users,
    I need some feedback on a configuration that will allow for effective use of Adobe Photoshop CS4 and IndesignCS4 at the same time.  The users currently uses a Dell Optiplex 745 PC with 3 Gig of Ram, with a ATI Radeo X1300 series graphics card that has 256M on it and support OpenGL2.0 and Shader Model 3.0 in at least some capacity.
    When creating documents in InDesign and using Photoshop for editing, the system is dog slow.
    This is a 2 GHz + Pentium processor and no other applications are running.
    I can bump her to 4 Gb but don't see that making a huge difference.
    I'm looking for suggestions?  Replace with workstation level machine with XP64 and 16Gb of Memory?
    Can you give me some examples of an effective Windows User platform that you are working with that works well with the two products running together?
    Thanks in advance!

  • InCopy CS4 and InDesign CS4 cannot open file at the same time!

    I have 2 editors that make changes in my indd file. The one editor is able to open the file concurrently with myself (i'm in indesign) just fine. But when the other editor wants to open the file....I cannot open the indd file and vice versa. We are PC based.
    shane

    Yes, we are all working on the same server.
    And Yes on the Editor A / scenario 1  (Designer opens file and Editor A opens file concurrently). works fine.
    Editor A closes out of Incopy and so does Designer. Editor B opens the file and Designer tries to open the indd file and now the designer gets the warning: Cannot open document. You may not have permission or the document may be open already. This is the same error if the Designer opens the file first and Editor B tries to open it while the designer has it open.
    Editor A and B are able to have the file open at the same time no problem.
    Also this happens to all indd files that Editor B tries to open. So it is not linked to a problem with the file.
    one other note: on the server just above the indd file...when Editor B has the indd open in InCopy... a 'temporary' Indesign Lock File appears.

  • MacOS 10.9 and InDesign CS4

    After installing MacOS 10.9 I got the error message 150:30 when trying to open InDesign. The suggested solutions like deleting the Folder FlexNet Publisher (which doesn't exist on my iMac) or reparing the permissions didn't work. Is there any other help?
    Thanks and regards, Mick

  • Indesign CS4 crashing on quit

    This has been happening for a while now. Almost every single time I am done with Indesign and close it, I get a send error report window and when I check the details it says UNKNOWN for the error code. This is true for the PC at work, and at home.
    Both have XP with SP3, and Indesign CS4 with the latest update. It used to occur before the updates too.
    Has this been solved?
    If I open Indesign and shut it without opening a file it is OK. But if I have it running for a certain amount of time with a file open, then when I close the file and exit out of indesign it almost always happens.

    I haven't seen any other reports like this, and it doesn't happen to me with SP2. I'm inclined to think it's something particular to your configuration.
    The first thing I would try is replacing the preference files. Corrupt prefs can cause all sorts of weirdness, and my sense from my own system, where I've replaced them a couple of times, is that CS4 is more prone to preference problems than earlier versions.
    It might also be caused by some third-party plugin, or even another program you have running in the background. Do you have, for example, a font manager running? Even a bad font might cause this.

  • How to set InDesign CS5 as the default in the system having InDesign CS4 has the default ?

    How to set InDesign CS5 as the default .indd application when you have InDesign CS4 and CS5 installed and InDesign CS4 is the current default (InDesign CS4 was installed after CS5 installation)

    Thanks, but I already tried it at first but it is not the effective method.
    I think its because of the this reason :
    Both - InDesign CS4 and InDesign CS5 have their application/program/exe named as "indesign.exe".
    Installation of either InDesign CS4 or InDesign CS5, sets a Windows default path for the "indesign.exe". In this case, since InDesign CS4 was installed later (after InDesign CS5 was already installed), the "indesign.exe" which was directing InDesign CS5's "indesign.exe" was replaced by InDesign CS4's "indesign.exe".
    But after long google and search through regedit, I've got the solution :
    Locate HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\InDesign.Document\Shell\Open\Command in regedit
    Change the value of (Default) attribute to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS5.5\InDesign.exe" "%1"     // Include the quotes

  • Did Creative Suite 2 bundle include Photoshop/Illustrator/InDesign CS4?

    Hi, I am trying to price Creative Cloud into my monthly budget and thought I could get the $29.99 deal since I have Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign CS4, which came out in 2008. But when I log in after registering within the products the only product that comes up in my account is CS2, purchased in 2006. Have I missed something? I know sometimes the naming conventions can confuse me, and that the CS2 bundle could have included the CS4 editions, but I still think the dates are wrong. Thanks.

    If your account does not show your CS4 serial numbers https://www.adobe.com/account.html there are 2 possibilities
    1 - you never registered the programs by activating online (I think it was possible to use the programs and click NO when asked to activate/register those old versions)
    or
    2 - you used a different email address and Adobe ID (this actually happens fairly often... and people forget that they have used multiple identities)
    No... CS2 and CS4 were completely different products, with different serial numbers
