InD CS4 TOC problem

I have a TOC set up for a multi-file book. The TOC is generating correctly and autoformatting correctly EXCEPT... sometimes if more than one paragraph of the same style is on a single page, only the first one is shown in the TOC. For example, if I have two paragraphs using Header 2 on page 35, only the first instance shows up in the TOC. But, if I add enough blank line breaks to the page to roll the second Header 2 onto page 36, or set its pagination to 'top of column', it will then show up in the TOC.
The truly mind-boggling thing about this is that it's only occurring on some pages. In others it's no problem to have multiple instances of the same paragraph on a single page in the same chapter -- both are picked up correctly in the TOC.
I have tried formatting the headers as body text, then re-applying Header 2. Doesn't solve it.
Ideas?

The only thing I can think of is possibly Remove minor corruption by exporting
Are you fully patched to at least 6.0.5?

InDesign CS4 memory problems

I have had memory problems with InDesign CS4 (and also with Photoshop CS4) for about a year now. If my file has a lot of pictures (100+) at some stage I get error message "Out of memory" . In the beginning it just have problems with redraw pictures (half of picture stays black), but also export to pdf is halted by same message and printing to file also. No problems in the beginning of large files or with files with text only. At one point InD just has enough and starts to behave like a ... Only solution is to export InD CS4 file as INX and continue to work in CS3 (but it takes a long time to match the text flow because textengine works differently). It's not monitor, because I have changed monitor during this year (from LaCie 22 blue IV to EIZO 27"). It seems that it's not video (NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX, 512 MB) also, because everything functions normally with CS3. I know, that it's not a proper video card for my work, but one likes to play Bioshock sometimes... Something strange happens with Photoshop CS4 also when I work for a long time without shutting down the program. After about editing 60+ pictures Photoshop CS4 begins to slow down (specially with using clone tool).up to impossible to work. You just have to wait while the cursor is dragging itself to right place an picture is redrawing itself. Seems like memory cannot empty itself and gets overloaded when working with CS4. No problems with Photoshop CS3. One cannot notice anything with small files. I can work with CS3 but there are features I would like to use in CS4.
Have anyone experienced anything similar?

Having exactly the same here. 16 Gb of ram in an 8 core 64 bits Vista system. Absolutely no infections on my system. Having great troubles getting my work ouputted.
I'm making an overview with 50 cards with pictures in them and bevels on the edges, dropshadows. It might be heavy but it is a normal question from my client.
I don't care if transparency is difficult for Adobe to handle. They shouldn't make it public if it is not properly tested. I am now so far as to make the composition in photoshop ( if that works)
What I thought was the problem is that I originaly placed indesign files in frames. But there is a great script out there on www.automatication.com to convert that in editable object again. Works great so check that out. But this didn't solve my problem. The effects used in these items are the memory consummers and Adobe is not freeing the memory properly.
Advise to Adobe: check also to dropshadows feature because this is not scaling up or down with the rest of the effect.
I'm am writing a realtime 3D renderengine here, if CS5 is not working fine, I might digg in to this one as well, getting a bit tired of waiting for properly working software.

TOC problems after RH5 - RH7 upgrade

Hello,
I use RoboHTML to create help projects.
After upgrading one with several subprojects from RH5 to RH7
the following problem occurs:
the TOC of the subproject is not incorporated in the main
TOC, instead the name of the subproject is shown. when clicking
this, the subproject is opened in a new tab (tested on Firefix3 and
Opera9.5), virtualy as a separate project.
The same project was previously published with RH5, with the
subprojects correctly linked.
Also, I reveive the attached java error (again not existing
with RH5) when opening the start page. if I substitute the newly
generated WebHelp.jar with the old one (generated by RH5) the error
ceases but the TOC problem persists.
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot,
Norbert

I recently tested the 9.0.1 upgrade and the hotfix for 9.0.1, but the problem still exists. However, "ColdFusion Jedi" Raymond Camden came up with a workaround. You can read about it here:
http://www.coldfusionjedi.com/index.cfm/2010/9/16/Followup-to-CFGRID-MultiRow-Post
The problem occurred when the Adobe team that released the 9.0.1 upgrade added "multi-row select" functionality to the HTML/AJAX version of CFGRID, but they failed to include the same ID-passing functionality of the previous "single-row select" implementation.
I created a more generic version of Raymond's javascript function which finds the selected row(s). This javascript must reside on every page which contains an HTML cfgrid:
<script type="text/javascript">
function getSelected(gridName,idName) {
    obj = ColdFusion.Grid.getSelectedRows(gridName);
    var selected = "";
    for(var i=0; i<obj.length; i++) {
      if(selected == "") selected = obj[i][idName];
      else selected += "," + obj[i][idName];
    document.getElementById('selectedRowIDs').value = selected;
    return true;
</script>
To force the selected row's ID (or other) field to be passed to to the subsequent page, you must include the following in your CFFORM tag (the field name MUST BE in ALL CAPS):
     onSubmit="return getSelected('gridName','FIELDNAME')"
Example: <cfform name="itemGridForm" action="editItems.cfm" method="post" onSubmit="return getSelected('itemGrid','ITEMID')"...>
You must also include the following hidden field in your cfform which contains the cfgrid:
    
     <cfinput type="hidden" name="selectedRowIDs" id="selectedRowIDs">
On the called page, FORM.selectedRowIDs will contain a list of the selected rows' ID fields (or whichever field you choose when calling the Javascript function).

CS4 Crashing Problems - Questions

Just curious in regards to all of these "CS4 Crashing" problems.
1) Before updating to Snow leopard, did you people do due diligence by at the very least checking the S.M.A.R.T. status of your drives and do a Permission Repair first BEFORE updating?
2) Did you make a clone of your working perfectly Leopard disk, or at least do a current (minutes before) Time machine backup?
3) Did you check first which 3rd party extensions such as those by Unsanity (FontCard), YouControl(Font), Growl, etc. that will NOT play nice with Snow Leopard yet until they are updated (if ever?)... and pre-update delete them?
4) Did you check to make sure that all of your fonts have been disabled and those that are NOT specifically from Apple, are removed from the User Font folders... and NOT set to load at startup?
Now after all of that... did ya still "freely" and without a gun to your head, update to Snow Leopard... a brand spankin' new (dot.zero) OS release and expect absolutely NO bugs: small, large or just inconvenient for the time being?
And now your whining here?... and complaining to Apple?
Have any of you considered reverting to your clone of Leo 10.5.8 until certain issues (yours) have been fail-safely fixed?
For the record, I did a straight-up SL update on a 2.16 CoreDuo MBP, and a 2008 8-core MacPro with NO problems! Everything working fine in 32-bit and 64-bit (MacPro), including even FreeHand under Rosetta.
NOTE: check your fonts!!! Whenever something crashes here or at any of my clients unexpectedly, font and/or font cache corruption has been the main culprit, now for over 20 years(!)

CS4 Export Problem

I have an external hard drive to which I export my encoded CS4 video files once I have finished editing. The problem is that, in doing so, space seems to be used also on my C drive. I need to find and delete these files on my C drive once my PP project files are rendered to my external drive. I have looked in temp files but they not there. Can anyone advise me on this?

That's done it S.V. Many thanks!

If you're using Vista you might be making the same mistake as me. Go edit>preferences>media, hover the mouse over the media cache files location (i.e. C:\yadayada) and TYPE that into the bar at the top of the my computer. Don't click through and try and find it, TYPE it like you would an internet address in a web browser.

InD CS4: Open to last saved state?

Is there a way to get a document to open to its last saved state -- i. e., open to the same page you were last viewing before saving & closing?
InD CS3 did this regularly; Acrobat allows you to set a preference to do this. But as far as I can tell, InD CS4 doesn't unless you use Save As and overwrite the file. Or is something wrong in my settings? (I tried trashing the preferences, but it made no difference.)
Thanks.
Victor

Sometimes it is useful: if you're working steadily through a long manuscript, it's nice to be able to pick up where you last put it down as a default.
Yup. Does it work for you? It worked 100% for me in CS3. For CS4, they seemed to have added view magnification to the saved state, but that, again, seems to work only some of the time, all of the time if you're not picky about whether it restores the last state or some other fairly recently saved state.

Placed SWFs in IND CS4 do not work

Hey,
I've been searching the Internet for forum-topics/posts on similar problems unsuccessfully. Now I hope to get some help on my prob from the "collective expertise" here ;)
My aim:
Creating a PDF-presentation including multimedia-contents (SWF-Files).
Workflow so far:
I created the presentation in InDesign CS4. On some pages I want to place SWF-Files which I've created in Flash CS4
(Export for FlashPlayer 9, Movie-compression activated).
Once finished the layout, I want to export the doc to PDF
(PDF Export options: PDF 1.7, Multimedia-Content embedded, no color-conversion, no compression )
My problem:
1) No preview of the SWF-File in the InD-Doc itself. Doc doesn't indicate that the movie was actually placed. Only movie-roll-picture is shown.
2) Movie doesn't load in Acrobat 9 Pro on opening the exported PDF (Buffering starts but no process is shown)
Is there something wrong with my export-options or can InD simply not handle SWF-Files (but export into SWF )?
Are there other export-formats in Flash CS4 I can place in InDesign?
My only "workaround" so far: SWF-files can directly be placed in a PDF via Acrobat, but is this the only way?

These two posts by David Blatner may help:

ToC problem with hanging side head paragraphs

I've created a template in CS4 ID that uses hanging side heads that look like those shown here:
http://tinyurl.com/bdrnxq
The hanging side heads were created using instructions included in the linked example.
Everything is working except the ToC. When I generate one, the hanging side heads are grouped together at the top of the items listed on a page, no matter where they really are located on that page. For example, if the following sections were on page 5 in the book:
1st level section 1......pg 5
1st level section 2......pg 5
1st level section 3......pg 5
2nd level hanging side head section 3.1.....pg 5
1st level section 4......pg 5
Are showing up in the TOC as:
2nd level hanging side head section 3.1......pg 5
1st level section 1......pg 5
1st level section 2......pg 5
1st level section 3......pg 5
1st level section 4......pg 5
Is there a setting that will fix this problem, or a workaround? I'm bummed that this isn't working properly in InDesign.

Hello Jeurgen
I don't think that it is possible to do what you want i.e. independently control where Pages breaks the heading in the TOC. However, you will notice that you get slightly nearer what you want if you align the text of the TOC to the left instead of justifying it.
Annoying I know...

Adobe Photoshop CS4 (x64) problem on Windows7

Hi, everyone. I have a problem with Photoshop CS4 (x64) running on Windows7 (x64). When I try to launch x64 version I get message "Adobe Photoshop CS4 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." It was working fine before and only today it have broken. By the way, Photoshop CS4 (x86) works perfect, I can't launch only x64 version. Have you any idea how to solve this problem?
(re-installing Photoshop don't fix it)

Dreamweaver CS4 interface problems in Win 7 Ultimate 64bit

I'm experiencing some frutratingly bizzare behavior with Dreamweaver CS4 and Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit and I'm hoping someone might now how to fix the issues.
1) When creating a new site by selecting "Site/New Site..." or "Site/Manage Sites..." the fields for selecting "Local root folder" and "Default images folder" always select a directory above where I tell it.
For example if I tell it to use "E:\ClientFiles\Client\website\" it always selects "E:\ClientFiles\Client\". and the only solution is to write in the proper directory manually.
2) Possibly related to the above targeting problem. In a document, even an new empty xhtml, if I place an image on the page and double click on that image to replace it with another I get the dialog box for selecting the new image, but on pressing "OK" nothing happens. The same thing occurs if I select the fodler icon in the properites at the bottom. The only methods that work are either deleting the placed image and then placing a new image or deleting the "Src" info in the "properties" panel and then clicking the folder icon next to "Src".
You can see how this would get frustrating after a while.
I've tried a complete reinstall of CS4, deleting the Dreamweaver cache file, and I get the same behavior on my laptop which is also running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.
Any help would be appreciated. I've submitted this behavior to Adobe support as well in hops that it can some how be resolved.

Both are known issues in DW on Win 7 and Vista. It's not just 64 bit.
Until Adobe issues a patch, the workarounds you describe are the only solutions for the timebeing.

CS4 Installation Problem on Mac - Error 2

I have tried for several hours to make the new install of Adobe CS4 work. The Lightroom2 install worked fine. Background: I have a macbook pro, OS/X 10.5.7, enough avail disk space. I had a trial version of LR2 and full CS2. I have done the following: checked "repair permissions" - an OS/X utility that interfered with operating Capture NX a couple years ago, so I added that step. I have uninstalled every Adobe application, using Clean Script 3 and Clean Script 4. I have tried to install CS4 in a separate user account, which has since been deleted, and again both Clean Scripts have been run. I have restarted my computer and downloaded a fresh version of CS4. I have tired to install it as a Tial version instead of an upgrade, also. It NEARLY installs, but at the very end of the install bar, after Bridge and before finishing Photoshop installation, I get a big red X and an error and find it is Error 2. The Adobe support pdf's have not helped, including those referenced by their little support bot.
Have spent a couple hours with Adobe Support, also. No one knows what Error 2 means.
Also, the "support" person closed my case as though it had been resolved - said he would call me back in one hour and 2ours 45 minutes later had not called back. He CLOSED the case, wasting my time and lying to me.

I have just committed the cardinal sin of allowing my daughter to install Adobe CS4 Web Premium on my new Mac Pro 2.26 8 Core.
I use this computer for pro music composition, and until I allowed my daughter to talk me into letting her use it for Adobe Web Premium (24" Apple screen, she has a PC laptop), it was strictly a no fly zone.
My worst fears were realized.
Neither she, nor I, can't get a clean install. Each attempt is greeted by a 'Successful but with Errors' or some such garbage. I have submitted a support requerst but have had no reply.
The new Mac died. Apple replaced it with a new computer under Applecare Warranty, and a new hard disk, but still the problem remains.
I've tried a new partition; nope.
I get the folling error codes:

I tried to download the Adobe Support Advisor, but it would not download. I have erased the registration, followed the instructions to the letter.
Nothing.
Adobe help in Australia were polite but did not resolve the problem. I called again and was greeted by a call centre somewhere in the Third World by someone who knew less about computers that they did about Adobe products. This poor person probably has a good job within his impoverished community, but undoubtedly paid a pittance (or why would Adobe set up a Call Centre in India), which make s it really hard to vent my frustrations without appearing racist.
I am attempting to take over the problem as there is no way a seventeen year old girl could negotiate this. I can't.
Has anybody any clues?
Appreciate any help. I can't access my daughter's email which the product is registered through at Adobe, as it is on her school computer which is connected through the school server, but my email is [email protected].
Appreciate any help. Or the contact details of a good hit-man.

Need a file converted from InD CS5 to InD CS4...

Had someone do some work for me and their source file came as a CS5 InDesign version 7 file (I think)... which I cannot open in CS4 InD version 6. Is there such as thing as file converter of some kind or do I need to have them or someone else open it in CS5 and save it in some compatible format?

Yes (well, to the 2nd part of your question).
Ask someone who has a CS5 to save it as IDML, or (always an option!) download the fully functional trial of CS5, and you have about 30 days to do it yourself.

Upgrade Plug-ins? InD CS4

I have been sent a file that shows as an InDesign CS4 file however when I try to open it I get the message - cannot open, upgrade plug-ins or upgrade to the latest version.
I've had a bit of a look at the different threads and it seems that it may be that it was saved from CS5 perhaps?
Could anyone please advise me in the most simple terms what I should ask the originator to do to send the file in a readable format?
This is an urgent job and if I can't get it open then I will need to advise them asap so that they can find someone else to finalise it for them.
Thanks in anticipation
Michelle

(Tiny addition:)
With software upgrades being released almost annually that are not "backwards compatible" ...
InDesign is backwards compatible -- up to a point, at least. (The Paragraph Composer, for example, was rewritten for CS3, so editing a pre-CS4 file into a newer version *will* make text re-flow.)
What you meant is "forwards compatible", and that's more than just a minor technical problem. How could the programmers of CS work with footnotes (CS2 and up), or have foreseen GREP styles in CS4, or column spans in CS5? If it was possible to open a CS4 document into CS3, what should happen with the features that Are Not Available in the older version?
I also forgot to point out a feasible (but not really recommended) way of working with newer documents. If your client insists that you work on his file, he could send you an IDML export. It means that at least you get something (as opposed to "nothing at all"), but of course you don't have any guarantees at all you get to see the same file that the client sees in his version. Any of the new features will get Lost in Translation, and you should even carefully check if "the same" things actually work the same -- as per my note on the Paragraph Composer above.

Adobe Bridge to CS4 Batch Problem

I hope this is the correct forum for this post as I don't know if its a Bridge or CS4 problem.
If I carry out various adjustments in ACR from within bridge, then select a number of the adjusted files and run the CS4 Batch from within Bridge. (I.e. Tools|PhotoShop|Batch...) I'm given the option of the action to run and each file is loaded into CS4 and the action runs file.
The problem is that not all the adjustments made are transfered into CS4 - the most obvious one being any crops.
If I open the same files in CS4 - as in File|Open, then all the adjustments are present.
Have I got something set incorrectly or is this a bug?
Thanks
Mark

I've been having similar loss of adjustments...and haven't got a solution. It seems to me the following happens:
If I launch Photoshop CS4 32bit, open Bridge, and start a batch process, the adjustment from the first opened RAW file is used for ALL files being processed.
If I launch Bridge before and start a batch process, Photoshop CS4 64bit is automatically launched and each image is properly processed using each file's settings. Acutally, I'm not 100% sure I ever have this problem with the 64bit Photoshop even when I launch it first.
At first I thought I was losing my mind...some settings are too subtle to see differences when I quickly glance through a bulk group of photos. But lately I have processed some photos as black and white...and you know something is wrong if ALL of your batch processed photos suddenly show up black and white.

CS4 Extended problems installing Camera Raw 5.2

I CLICK ON CAMERA PROFILES
THEN POPS UP A DIALOG BOX SAYING SELECT A DESTINATION AND EXTRACT FILES

and when I go to C-PROGRAM FILES-COMMON FILES-ADOBE-PLUG INS-CS4-FILE FORMATS and DOUBLE CLICK on CAMERA RAW CS4 opens with the ERROR MESSAGE COULD NOT COMPLETE YOUR REQUEST BECAUSE ITS NOT THE RIGHT KIND OF DOCUMENT....???
I have absolutely no clue what this could be and I bet I did something wrong but have no idea what...after 3 days of stress pure I'm about to snap and throw this product out of my window-I'd more than appreciate suggestions/help so I can fix this problem!!
THANK YOU
MICHAEL STAMMBERGER

thanks for the reply I have windows VISTA and yes
installed is a 64bit version and the normal version-I cannot choice
the updates option because I'm not registered yet.
maybe it has to do with the 64bit version because I always uploaded it to the normal 32 bit version?
