IMac 5k slow with Indesign CC2014 and PDF's?

I have a new iMac 5k, i7 4ghz processor, 24 gigs of ram, AMD Radeon M29FX with 4 gigs of DDR5 ram gpu and 1 TB of flash storage. I upgraded to this from a mid 2012 Retina MacBook pro, i7 2.6 ghz processor, 16 gigs of ram and a NVIDEO GeForce 650M 1024 gpu with a 512 flash storage. I was expecting to see some serious improvements in speed, especially when handling large pdf's. This iMac actually feels slower, like it is lagging trying to process the images. I am running Adobe CC 2014, Indesign, Illustrator, Photoshop and Acrobat all with the latest updates.
Is this something where the Adobe apps are not optimized for the 5K screen? Or is the Graphics card just not good with the Adobe apps? I do not know what to think. It is a brand new computer with some great specs, but the old Retina MacBook Pro seems much faster when it comes to handling pdf's and working with overprint preview on in indesign.

Hey, all of my Adobe products run in the range of extremely slow to unusable; InDesign is by far the worst. Like you, I run a decked out 5K iMac and Adobe CC 2014. Oddly most people have problems with Illustrator, however I find Illustrator to be usable, yet InDesign and Acrobat are nearly unusable. I would do anything to get rid of my iMac and get my much faster 3 year old iMac back.
Adobe has mentioned they are working on a fix for Illustrator however I have not seen any mention of InDesign. I suspect they will apply the same fix across the board if there is a software fix for this. Apple quadrupled the number of pixels on the iMac screen and that is a lot to ask of Adobe CC.

HT3964 1st problem was IMac running slow. Shut down and unplugged several times with each time reboot being worse. Now, unplug reboot and eventually wallpaper background comes up but there are no icons?

1st problem was IMac running slow. Shut down and unplugged several times with no correction. Eventually, shut down, unplug and reboot resulted in wallpaper background eventually coming on screen but no icons. Nothing after that.

Kurt, do you know which exact iMac this is?
Have you blown the dust out lately?
Does it do better if allowed to cool off for a couple of hours?
What do you see if you hold Option or alt key at bootup?
Does it boot from the install disc holding c key at bootup?

Create unlimited folios today with InDesign CS5 and 5.5!

Adobe's official statement
http://blogs.adobe.com/digitalpublishing/2011/10/create-unlimited-folios-today-with-indesi gn-cs5-5.html
Did you know…
Customers with InDesign CS5 and CS5.5 can now create an unlimited number of .folio files for no additional charge.
You already know that InDesign CS5 and CS5.5 integrate with Adobe Digital Publishing Suite to allow customers to publish apps to tablet devices such as the iPad, Xoom and PlayBook. But for InDesign CS5 and CS5.5 customers who are interested in creating content for tablet devices but are not yet customers, it is now easier than ever to try digital publishing before making the financial investment in the Digital Publishing Suite solution that meets your needs.
InDesign CS5 and CS5.5 customers can now:
Create an unlimited number of .folio files in InDesign
Preview them on Adobe Content Viewer – including interactivity – to see how they will render when published to a tablet device
Share them with colleagues or clients on a 1:1 basis via the Adobe Content Viewer
Further, customers can now access the Folio Producer Service in the Digital Publishing Suite with a valid Adobe ID to manage and edit their .folio files. All of this can be done before purchasing Digital Publishing Suite.
If you are interested in learning how to create an App directly from InDesign CS5 or CS5.5, without writing code or depending on a developer, feel free to try it. You can pitch ideas to your client or your boss; or you can build a portfolio of your work and preview it on a tablet device. Practice makes perfect, and with an unlimited number of .folios, you can practice as much as you want! When you’re ready to publish to an app store, you can select the Digital Publishing Suite solution that is right for you.

I'm sorry EvBurk, what you want is intended not to work.
All Adobe's promotional material concerning InDesign and Digital Publishing (including the above "official statement") carefully uses verbs like "create" or "produce". But they never mention "distribute" or "spread", without explicitly referring to their exclusive hosting services. The whole Folio thing (in contrast to the former "issue" format) revolves around not giving you any chance of physically exporting, managing or owing the folio file itself. It's always somewhere on Adobe's or Apple's servers, or on your iPad, which is also as shut as a vault. So there's no way to export a folio file and toss it around like a pdf or jpeg. All you can do (without a paid distribution) is "share" your folio with some others, under the idea of "testing" and "reviewing". But this can be a cumbersome method. And even when paid (for the app), it's still difficult to distribute it outside Apple's or Android's market.
More than a year ago (in the middle of the Flash-on-iOS debate) Adobe users, developers, bloggers, and evangelists heavily criticized Apple's "walled garden". Adobe literally stated "We Love Apple - What we don't love is anybody taking away your freedom to choose what you create, how you create it, and what you experience on the web." Well, you could say now: "I love Adobe, but what I don't love is Adobe taking away my freedom to own my files, and distribute them on my own terms." They let us create, but not spread our ideas. It's like giving you a typewriter and copier, that only works with Adobe stock paper. Like giving you a voice and an instrument, but only allowing you to sing and play in some walled gardens (dress code: Apple ID) or secluded shed (invitation only).
I really wonder why they so fiercely protect 'their' Folio file. Why do they either have to be "under protection" or be turned into apps? I understand why Apple wants and needs to curate apps, but they don't mind me spreading my own ePubs, mp3 or jpegs. Why doesn't Adobe let me put my folio's on my own server, or send them off to someone with my own preferred service? The Content Viewer could easily be an Acrobat-like reader and let the iPad open folio's (by web links or mail enclosures) into it. If I see how many questions, worries, and problems creators and users have due to this whole closed technique and business, it would be easier to just let go and see what happens. Is it money? Of course it is. But my guess is that Adobe would eventually benefit more from it.
So I hope Adobe declares the Folio as an "open" standard soon, but they're definitely not in that stage. Maybe the specification of the file format just isn't ready yet. Maybe some managers need to remember again how to "Spread the Love"...

Adobe Indesign CC2014 and mac freeze crash at dialog box "nouveautés"

Hi !
Adobe Indesign CC2014 and the mac freeze crash when the dialog box "nouveautés" appears !
The Indesign CC work fine and doesn't crash, but the CC2014 freeze on this dialog box !
Is there a possibility to do this dialog box don't appears ? In preference file to edit on the disc for exemple ? or a file to delete ?
Thanks

Thanks pooja2087 but that doesn't work !
But I have news :
I have started without extensions (with "Maj") and then the windows "Nouveautés" appears but totally white, but that is working, i can close the windows and work with indesign. But the windows appears on next launch because I cannot clic on the "don't show next time" case (the windows is white).
Then this windows is the problem (probably directX function that crash my old computer (this one is old)).
Then how can I desactivate this window on startup ?

I have downloaded Indesign CC2014 and installed 3-4 times but it doesn't run. I have installed on Windows 7 64 bit , HP laptop i7

Blank error message with ? appears and PDF does not open in Browser (IE11) when clicking link to open pdf. PC - IE11 Acrobat 9.0

Blank error message with ? appears and PDF does not open in Browser (IE11) when clicking link to open pdf. PC - IE11 Acrobat 9.0
Cannot access in browser PDF files unless blank box is closed and then website address is clicked on again in browser address bar and page reloaded.
Uninstalled Acrobat 9, reinstalled, still same problem.
Help please!

Yes I can it only happens in the browser..
I reinstalled Windows on my machine and started over a couple of weeks ago.
When my desktop started up I didn’t have Acrobat installed and clicked on a pdf file and the open with xxx dialogue box came open.
I chose a different program as Acrobat wasn’t installed yet so it associated pdf files with another program.
Later Installed Acrobat and couldn’t associate the pdf file with acrobat so I went into Folder Options and manually associated PDF files with Acrobat.
Ever since then I get the error when something is downloaded and opened in the browser.
Works fine everywhere else and when I cancel the blank error, highlight the web address and press enter to reload it works 90% of the time.
Not sure what to do..

I have a problem with indesign cs6 and my epson 3880 on mac

I have a problem with indesign cs6 and my epson 3880 on mac. I need an older version of indesign but do not have a serial number....any suggestions?

I see then I believe Kglad's advice is on track with starting with updating your printer drivers. I have also moved this discussion over to the InDesign forum as the Users in this forum likely have additional suggestions.
Also if you can please turn off your e-mail signature if you want to respond via e-mail. Your responses are going to a public forum where the information is accessible by anyone. I have edited your previous response to remove the signature.

Hi I created a EPUB with indesign cc and I'm trying to submitted it to iTunes Producer

Hi I created a EPUB with indesign cc and I'm trying to submitted it to iTunes Producer and only thing that happens is the little wheel keep spinning and spinning and spinning can you help? And is there a way to decrease the size of my EPUB I'm getting a message saying that it is over 200 MB?

You haven't said if you're on a mac or PC. I understand that on a PC you can directly open an EPUB. But, as I am on a Mac I need a utility. I use a little app called EPUB Unzip and then to zip it back up you'll need EPUB zip. Just search on Google for them. They are open source (free). Or you can use Sigil to get into the EPUB without unzipping. Sigil is good, but does change the file structure a little bit, and for that reason some people don't like it. For a reflowable EPUB it doesn't matter much. Though I don't think I'd open a fixed layout EPUB with it. Sigil is also open source—it's very easy to use, too.
You'll also want an EPUB validation app. I use Pagina EPUBcheck 3.01 (open source). Or you can use the free online checker here: EPUB Validator (beta) though it's for SMALL files. I like Pagina because it suggests fixes for errors—even though those fixes may be completely greek to you and me.
Finally, I really suggest you get a subscription to Lynda.com and watch everything Anne Marie Concepcion has ever done on EPUB. While not the be all and end all, her knowledge is a very good place to start. Lynda.com is $25 per month but you can quit anytime (though um, I haven't, because well it's kind of addicting). So, even if you only use it for a month, you'll learn a ton and it'll be well worth it.
Lest I sound like some kind of freakin' expert, let me assure you this is a long and painful process, with little help out there for us "non-programmer" types who've been thrown in the lion's den. I am still learning everyday, by my own wits it sometimes seems. Even today I am learning (most painfully yet) how to program a fixed layout read-abound book by trial and error, because even after BEGGING Adobe ON BENDED KNEES we don't have support for read-aloud and according to insiders hereabout they have NO PLANS to give us that. Yes. I am going to continue to whine about it, frequently.
It's late, and I've already had a glass or two of wine. (Not that you'd notice. ) Good luck on your journey. (Only 8 more circles of hell to traverse, so I've heard.)

Placing a PDF file in an InDesign Doc and PDF again for a vendor- Good or Bad?

Current debate in the graphics department is
Is it good or bad to place a PDF (general Press Quality) into an InDesign document and then creating a new PDF file with print vendor settings from that document?
My thought is that you in some cases are double compressing, lower dpi images getting compressed, RGB color mode images okay on layout but now are converted to CMYK and shift in the PDF.
Are there other issues and if so what are they.
Also is there an easy way to check ppi, color mode and compression of an acrobat PDF? I mean other than doing a preflight and searching into each image folder twenty levels deep. FlightCheck and Enfocus are not options,
too many vendors and not enough time.
Thank you all in advance for your words of wisdom.

Dov, I just got off the phone with a trusted professional in the Prepress field at a quite reputable print house, and he said "Dov is the guru of PDFs, ask him this...Will the InDesign CS3 preflight see the characteristics of a PDF (color mode, dpi(ppi), compression) if the original placed PDF is created as a pdf .X4 (1.7)? Ask him also if you were to use one form of compression (say lossless) in the original PDF, and then another form(say lossy) in the vendor PDF would it hold both or convert the first PDF compression to the second form?"
Any other responses are also welcomed.

My iMac 11,2 with hard drive and cable display problems

My iMac 11,2 with useless hard drive. Tried to replace with Seagate hard drive, but thermal connector is different from hard drive Samsung that comes with computer. I also need to replace the display cable. Any suggestions?
thanks

Hi, on the hard drive...
Tukaine
Sep 23, 2012 10:59 PM
Since the late 2009 iMacs came out, replacing the hard drive has caused the internal Hard Drive Fan to start running at around 6000RPM.
This is due to Apple replacing the external Hard Drive temperature sensor with a proprietary firmware and using the drives internal sensor. Replacement drives do not contain the firmware to deliver temperature data on the temperature sensor cable. When the iMac does not receive a good signal from the hard drive it puts the fan at full speed to protect the drive.
If you replace your drive, your iMac will initially seem fine, but soon the fan will begin to speed up to full speed. Resetting the SMC (System Management Controller) will have a temporary effect, but again the fan will speed up.
Fixes people have used in the past included:
• Using smcFanControl and the terminal to set a MAX speed for the fan and writing scripts to start this after every sleep/restart.
• Shorting the temperature sensor cable (Not a possibility on 2011 iMacs) this tricks the iMac into thinking the drives temperature is very low, hence slow fan speed.
Both these fixes are less then perfect and leave the drive in a dangerous situation with no protection from overheating.
Another option people try is other Fan Control software. These programs will not work for this particular issue as they often only control the base speed, and if they do control the fans actual speed they rely on the temperature reported by the sensor which is now incorrect.
HDD Fan Control
HDD Fan Control works to fix this issue by reading the drives internal temperature using the S.M.A.R.T protocol and set the fans actual speed to a value good to protect the drive.  It runs at startup and continually to always control the fan correctly, prevent the loud fan noise and protect the drive from overheating.

Anyone having issues with InDesign (CS5) and Suitcase Fusion 3 (Mac)?

I've run into a problem that I think might be caused by Suitcase Fusion 3 [Version 14.2.0 (319)], but I'm wondering if anyone here is having any issues with InDesign and Suitcase Fusion like I am?
Just about every time I launch an InDesign document or an Illustrator document (don't seem to have the issue in Photoshop, strangely enough) it pretty much crashes to the point where it's a force quit. Before anyone asks the question, this is what I've done - I've reformatted my hard disk (even writing 0s!), done a clean install of Lion (10.7.3), clean install of Creative Suite 5 (and updates), clean install of Suitcase (and updates)...you get the idea. I'm still ending up with crashing just about every time I open a document in these two apps.
As an experiment I downloaded a (fully functioning) trial version of FontAgent Pro (which I didn't like, btw) and didn't encounter any crashing at all in either application.
I've opened a ticket with Adobe to see if they have any details as to whether this is a known conflict or whatever (though I don't hold much hope for getting help from them since it's looking more like a Suitcase issue than a Creative Suite one).
Does anybody have any suggestions as to what I can do to try and resolve this?
I'm in the middle of producing two magazines and I really really don't need this! Lol

From the lovely people at Extensis tech support -
Thanks for the info. As you said, if this is happening when you have only manually activated fonts, then the auto-activation isn't coming into play which does lead me to think it is related to the plug-in generally and maybe the sleep issue, which you say you definitely have. So I've added you to the sleep issue tracking.
If you find yourself coming back from putting the computer to sleep and the apps with Suitcase plugins have hung, do this:
1)      Go to your spotlight and type in "activity"
2)      Launch "Activity Monitor"
3)      Highlight the name of the adobe/quark application that is hanging by clicking it.
4)      Click the "Sample Process" button at the top of the screen.
5)      Click the "Save" button.
6)      Click the "Save" button again and save the file to your desktop.
7)      This will generate a file such as " Sample of Adobe Illustrator CS5.txt"
8)      Repeat this process with any other application that is hanging.
9)      Highlight the "FMCore" process by clicking it.
10) Click the "Sample Process" button at the top of the screen.
11) Click the "Save" button.
12) Click the "Save" button again and save the file to your desktop.
13) This will generate a file named " Sample of FMCore.txt"
14) Place these files along with the ".Plugins.txt" files created earlier into a new folder called "Plugins"
15) Right click (control+click) to compress into a .zip file.
Please attach this zip in reply to this mail.
When we are sure of a fix, we'll get back to you. In the meantime here are some workarounds:
Option 1:
1)      Back up your font sets by dragging them to the desktop
2)      Remove SF3 v14.2 by following the instructions here:
http://www.extensis.com/en/support/kb_article.jsp?articleNumber=4020
3)      Download and re-install Suitcase Fusion 3 (version 14.0.6) from:
http://dl.extensis.com/downloads/ST/EN/M/SuitcaseFusion3-M-1406-EN.zip
4)      Are there fonts and font sets in your old font vault you would like to recover?
If NO :
a)      Open SF3
b)      Simply drag and drop your original fonts into the SF3 "Font Library". This will copy the fonts into a new font vault.
If YES : Restore your old fontvault from the backup the removal tool created
a)      If you choose "Y" to KEEP your font vault earlier when you ran the removal script, on your desktop you will find a folder called "Extensis-Backup-today's date" that contains a backup of your previous suitcase fusion 3 fontvault.
b)      Move your old font vault from the "Extensis-Backup-today's date" folder on your desktop into this folder:
/Users/[your username]/Library/Extensis/Suitcase Fusion/Suitcase Fusion.fontvault
c)       Launch SF3 from your dock. you should now see all your old fonts and font sets.
Option 2:
Remove our auto-activation plugins and activate your fonts manually in SF3 and/or add your adobe/quark apps to the SF3 > Preferences > General > Global Auto-Activation Options list. here's how:
1)      In SF3: choose Suitcase Fusion 3 > Manage Plugins
2)      Uncheck the boxes for adobe/quark apps; this will remove our auto-activation plugins
3)      Choose SF3 > Preferences > General
4)      Under "Global Auto-Activation Options", press the "+" button to add your adobe/quark apps
Please note that "global auto-activation" is less accurate than our plugin-based auto-activation. Double check your font usage in your design app to confirm the correct font was loaded after opening a document.

Which iMac for use with Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom

Any opinions on which iMac is best for use with Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom. Not sure if the 2.7 i5 with 512 graphics card is Plenty of power or if upgrading to the 3.1 i5 or 3.4 i7 is a wiser choice given the price differences. Appreciate the help

So I was reading over your post, and even though this is older and has to do with CS5, I have some information for CS6 that will be relevant to your question now that it is time to upgade the software. In general Photoshop has always been more about RAM than Processing power, though that is important too. Until CS5 it could never quite take advantage of what multi-core processors really had to offer, and even the graphics card didn't really effect much of it outside of certain features and the 3D optio
Now that is no longer true and Adobe can effeciently use all aspects of the computer to give you much better performance.
So much so that I was able to buy a brand New ASUS with the following specs:
Dual Core 2.2GHz Processors
8GB of RAM (4GB original to the machine)
Windows 7 Home Premium 64Bit OS
320GB HDD w/ 5400RPM
This machine not only runs photoshop CS6 and Launches in less than 5 Seconds... it can run Premier and After Effects as well, and this Laptop cost me less than $400 (on sale at Best Buy 2 Weeks Ago. You don't have to buy something this cheap, but isn't it great that you can and still run Master Collection effectively?

CQ5 with InDesign, Bridge, and Drive

We make lots of catalogs. We use the full CS5 suite currently, and are considering purchasing CQ5 as the repository for the assets and then to move on to the web content management. Some thoughts and questions on how CQ5 might support a print production flow:
All our assets for the catalogs will be in a CQ5 repository.
1) We need to use InDesign's Place command to get assets from the repository into InDesign. Therefore Drive's role in virtualizing the repository is a must have. Our system integrator is telling us to stay away from Drive because Drive 3 is buggy and hasn't been tested thoroughly with CQ5. Well Adobe, no production ready Drive vitrualized repository then no sale. Any thoughts on CQ5 and InDesign working through Drive in high volume, large file size environment?
2) InDesign has a fabulous feature called Live Caption. It's a dynamic text box that shows the File-->Info metadata of any image the text box touches. We incorporate this heavily in our print production workflow. Through XMP we built a custom File-Info palette for images. Then with the Live Caption we can dynamically display that info - image name, item number, styling notes, color. Works great. We'd like to workflow the pages and images and metadata through CQ5, but CQ5 doesn't write metadata back out to the file info, so therefore we would no longer be able to take advantage of InDesign's Live Caption feature. What is involved in getting CQ5 to write select fields of metadata to the file info metadata so we can use it in InDesign Live Caption? What's involved in using Bridge to change the File Info metadata and have that properly update the corresponding metadata in CQ5.
3) We routinely reuse images. For search and reuse capability, the DAM has to automatically record the relationships of images on what pages and what pages have what images. That allows us to search for an InDesign page and see all the images on it, and also search for an image and see all the InDesign pages where it was used. This functionality is completely out of box with other content management systems designed to support print. It's certainly a feature I'd think would be out of box for the Adobe suite, but it isn't in CQ5 or doesn't seem to be. How might this be done?
Very, very disappointing that Adobe CQ5 does not have a better understanding of print production workflows. If it did, then Adobe would have an unbeatable multi-channel story to tell.

Since I put it out there, it's fair that I step up. This is a list of 30 enhancements to the DAM landing page only. And yes, I know what the sales folks would say: "we can do all those things." But, just not interested in paying staff or consultants to customize in order to get what are mostly obvious and expected.
Overall, the interface is a mish mash of buttons, links, folders, grid - it doesn't know what it wants to be. Is the interface supposed to mimic a file system, a web page, a spreadsheet? The schizophrenia creates confusion as end-user can no longer rely on their past experiences working on a common interface. Pick an interface metaphor and own it completely. (Rebuid it in Flex.)
Implementation of functionality is so incomplete. It clearly was put together foremost to meet a checklist for the sales team and not to be great software. Search – check; Thumbnails – check; Copy and Paste – check and check. But, the incomplete implementation of every one of those is downright demoralizing. When functionality is added – please make it complete and great.
The buttons across the top for Home, Websites, DAM, Campaigns, etc. should be selections in the left nav similar to the way Outlook lets you select Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Notes, etc. This would free up important real estate and move some elements that are selected maybe once or twice during a session.
The menu choices at the top New, Copy, Paste etc. are implemented like links, but the should really be built with standardized menus and selections. File->New, Edit->Copy, etc. This would be intuitive to end users and facilitate easy growth and organization as new commands are added.
The menu choices should be context aware and toggle when applicable - Activate Deactivate and Copy Paste for instance.
The search box on the right needs significant enhancing. (I do see how it may be more effective when searching in Websites, but in DAM it is woefully incomplete.) A couple of quick ones: need better indication of what location you're searching – current folder or whole repository; need options for searching content or file names; results list is too small; need ability to switch to advanced. It's probably all configurable but with a little thought it could have been great out of box.
EVERY file of any type that's in the repository should get a gorgeous scalable thumbnail automatically. Adobe owns Scene7 and Acrobat - of course this can be done. For me, sadly, for thumbnails to be so incomplete reveals a lot about the strategy and priorities of the folks making the software. See #2 above.
Should have a View menu that lets you select from multiple out of the box views, including:
The Standard view, which should have a slider to control the size of the thumbnails.
A Thumbnail view also with a slider to control size.
A cool Carousel view.
A plain List view, which doesn't have thumbnails.
The List view should have a feature where when you rollover you get a thumb preview.
The columns don't size in a common intuitive way. Sizing one column shouldn't alter the size of the other columns.
Should be able to create columns in the list views of a metadata attribute.
Should have a small drop down arrow for all items that displays a pop-up of the details info. This would save a lot of clicks opening to view the details, closing, and then trying again.
Needs a Cut command (which would fall with Copy, Paste, and Move under an Edit menu). Cut and Paste would in some cases be easier and more intuitive than using the full Move dialog.
Needs a Rename command (which woud also fall under an Edit menu). Using the Move command for a rename is not ideal.
Could use a Duplicate command (or the Move dialog could have a check box in it for Duplicate).
Should show at the bottom of the window the number of items in the window being browsed.
Should show user info and role somewhere.
Should have an option at the bottom for viewing all on one page.
Should have a drop down for selecting how many to view on a page i.e.16, 50, 100, all.
Should be able to have saved searches appear as Smart Folders in the left nav.
Default Smart Folders for left nav should include most recent, checked out, in workflow, to do.
Need to be able to launch any asset into its native app for editing (in combination with Adobe Drive installed).
Tools dropdown should have a choice for Audit, which shows the file's complete history including:modification history, number of times downloaded, by who, workflow steps, etc.
Ability to select an asset (or multiple), and click an email link to send it as an attachment.
Ability to have Favorite folders in the left nav. Would allow you to jump around without navigating the tree.
Would be cool to have folders in the left nav that map to folders outside of the repository. You could create some really neat import and export functionality for the DAM.
There are more, and thanks for the time.
