InDesign 4 Clipping not available, OS X

I have several users that occasionally run into an issue with InDesign. When they try to use clipping it does not pop out from the drop down menu. See image. Most of the 50 users here have told me this happens to everyone just at random times. This is not based on the image as we have tried several and it can be clipped by another user. Also there is a fix as someone used to know how to fix it, possibly trashing a preference file or something, but they are no longer here. Please help. Thank you in advance.

  • Trying to book ACE exam for Indesign CC - but not available

    Why is an ACE exam for Indesign CC not available and when will it be? I have been trying to book it via Pearson Vue for some time but no luck. Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, Dreamweaver are all available as ACE exams for CS6 and CC but no Indesign. Are you dropping Indesign from the ACE curriculums?

    Thanks Rajshree
    The link you posted directs to the CS6 exam, I was wondering why CC isn't available for Indesign (but is for other softwares). I have already contacted Pearson Vue and they said that Adobe hasn't supplied them with any Indesign CC exam and to contact Adobe regarding why.
    I tried to contact Adobe but they said that they could only offer software support and didn't have info about the ACE process.
    I'm thinking this is a dead end.
    Thanks again for your reply thou

  • Many of the fonts on my PC are not available in InDesign CS5.5?

    Hi
    I am using a font called Narkisim in FW but it is not available in my InDesign CS5.5. I have checked the 'font' folder for InDesign and actually its empty, though the preset standard fonts are all there.
    Really not sure whats going on here, please help? I really need to use Narkisim for this print job that I'm doing.
    I appreciate the help.
    Ash

    FW = FireWorks, I imagine.....
    Is the font installed in one of the system font locations on a Mac or the System fonts folder on PC? If not it must be installed there, or in the Adobe common fonts folder, or ID's own private fonts folder to be seen by ID. If it is installed in a palce ID can see it, make sure you scroll through the whole font list. Some fonts are classified in odd ways and may be out of order alphabetically or included in one of the non-roman groups near the bottom of the list (In fact, Narkism seems to be a Hebrew font, so it should be listed near the bottom with other Hebrew fonts).
    If you still can't find it, that may indicate that the font doesn't come up to the standards ID needs (it seems to be about 20 years old). ID is far more sensitive to imporper or bad font formatting than other applications.

  • ICC Profiles Not Available in InDesign CS4

    Hello all-
    I have a lot of ICC profiles installed on my system (OS X 10.6.2); some are in /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/ and some are in ~/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/.
    They are not available in InDesign CS4, even though every other app (including Photoshop, Illustrator and Acrobat) see them just fine.
    Is this a know issue/bug with CS4 and Snow Leopard? I don't recall having this issue on my old machine.

    A followup to this issue:
    This morning I couldn't launch Illustrator CS4, it kept crashing at launch. Scanning through the OS X crashlog I noticed 511 "Iterative Profile" errors:
    ###  com.apple.ColorSync               0x91e1981d iterateProfilesInDirectory + 1020
    I went into my /Library/ColorSync/Profiles folder and noticed there was now an alias pointing into Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles/, which already contained an alias back to /Library/ColorSync/Profiles to get around the InDesign issue (as described above, which was working fine to this point). This created an infinite loop...
    I did not create this new alias... any idea where it might have come from?
    (Adobe needs to fix InDesign so it looks in the correct locations for profiles... the user shouldn't have to resort to manipulating aliases to enable profiles that are otherwise in the correct locations, and why do Adobe apps need their own profiles folder anyway????? As with their private Fonts folder, it does nothing but over-complicate matters...)

  • "split event before clip" is not available

    I have selected a section of my video in event library, however, the "split event before clip" is not available.  Anybody know why?

    This command is only available if your Event has more than one clip. It will split the Event between two clips.
    If you are not sure how many clips are in your Event, move the Thumbnail slider to the right  until you get a single thumbnail per clip.

  • InDesign won't open when network drive is not available.

    Hi everyone,
    I have a laptop (MacBook Pro OSX10.9.5), which shares a network drive in my office. The drive is with a different computer. When I take the laptop out of the office network (to a meeting or home), InDesign will not open, it gives me the following error (see attached image). I've tried replacing the Defaults and SavedData files, and also re-installing InDesign from scratch. I still get the same error. Any idea what is happening or how to fix it? Thank you in advance.
    Rafa.

    Hi!
    I figured out what the issue was, finally. After playing around, I noticed that my InDesign Fonts folder, had "alias" links to some fonts that resided on that shared drive. As soon as I deleted all the ones that where aliases, the error went away. Hopefully this helps someone in the future.

  • Merge clip via audio synch option not available?

    The dialog box which should hypothetically allow me to merge device-captured audio to DSLR footage via an audio waveform analysis is not available. I'm using CC6, totally up to date, so why is this feature not included?

    I finally got it to work.  I had to select the Realtek Digital Output, disable the Speakers option and then restart iTunes. 

  • Why is QuickTime suddenly "not available" in CS3?

    While trying to embed a video into a document, I recieve an error message saying QuickTime isn't available. I've uninstalled and reinstalled QuickTime, which now works -- it will run video independently of InDesign. But when I try to place a video or embed one into a frame, I see this error message. The diologue box will not allow me to browse for a video (the button is grayed out). I'm using a farily new setup, InDesign CS3 on a Windows 7 64-bit platform.
    Is there a setting to allow InDesign to "see" Quicktime? Apple and Microsoft forums have been no help.

    Yes, I have the very latest Quicktime download from Apple. This worked fine until our computers were upgraded to Windows 7. But the Windows site says Quicktime is fully compatible with 7. I've uninstalled both Quicktime and InDesign and reinstalled, several times. The popup window simply says "Failed because QuickTime is not available." Our IT person says all the programs are installed in the proper folders. This has cost me three days of productivity and I'm at a loss. Is there a setting in InDesign to reconnize third-party apps like QuickTime? 

  • Reader 9 Kills Clip Notes

    For anyone using the Clip Notes feature of Pr or AE: don't upgrade to Acrobat Reader 9.
    Your client won't be able to add comments, nor will they be able to export the .xdf data file that gets imported back to your Pr sequence. When you open the Clip Notes .pdf file in Reader 9, the program alerts you that the .pdf document has enabled features that are not available in that version of Reader. No other information is available.

    Welcome to the forum.
    Unfortunately, there is no Adobe presence here. We are all just users. Adobe might "read" a few posts out in the main fora, though we seldom know. The chances of them reading something in the Lounge is as close to absolute zero as one can get - sorry.
    I would have assumed that this HAD been fixed by now, but from your comments, maybe not. Do you have the latest releases of all programs, Acrobat Reader 9, PrPro CS4.1 and whatever AE CS4 is up to? BTW, your client will likely need the latest for all pertinent programs too. Good luck.
    For getting the attention of Adobe, it's best to use the Bug Report/Feature Request.
    Sorry for the bad news,
    Hunt

  • Suddenly...some fonts are not available.

    InDesign CC 2014 Crashed today. When I relaunched it I found that some of my fonts are not available. I'm on a Mac Pro running Yosemite (10.10)
    For example, two weights of Proxima Nova are available (Light and Regular) but the other weights are not. Those other various font weights are available in other apps (namely Illustrator).
    Below are various screenshots
    1. Screenshot from InDesign
    2. Screenshot from Font Book to show the fonts are active
    3. Screenshot from Illustrator CC 2014 showing these fonts are available there.

    I quite InDesign. Then I did a search and trashed all the AdobeFntXX.lst files that had a two digit number. I deleted the files and rebooted my computer. I then launched InDesign and had the same problem.
    So, I quite InDesign again and deleted my Indesign Prefs and Saved Data file and relaunched. Same problem.
    Very strange... since everything is okay in Illustrator, Photoshop and even an older version of InDesign CS6.

  • Inline text boxes - text not available in galley and story view

    We have a book with loads of inline text boxes used as captions for inline images. The text in these inline boxes cannot be seen in story or galley view. Is there a way around this?

    I think there's a fundamental knowledge gap going on here, not a bug or glitch.
    ALL "normal" InDesign (.indd) files will open in InCopy with that message ("Because this document contains no InCopy stories, Galley View and Story View are not available"). That is the expected behavior. They open in InDesign fine, but they open in InCopy with that alert.
    This is because without any prior preparation, InDesign files are read-only in InCopy. You can open them in IC, and you can still select text in the stories you see in Layout view, copy and paste that text elsewhere, but you can't edit them. The file is read-only.
    With no editable stories, there is nothing for Galley or Story views to show. (They only show editable stories.) Thus the alert.
    As Robert said, the designer has to prep the layout first. They have to export content to InCopy format. Doing so creates an external file that's linked to the layout.
    Open the .indd file that's giving you trouble ... in either InDesign or InCopy ... and look in its Links panel (Window > Links). Do you see any listings for .incx files in there? If you don't see any, or they're missing, that's the root of the problem.
    A detailed explanation of the step-by-step process to making it all work, with screen shots, is in this PDF:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/incopy/pdfs/incopy_cs3_workflow.pdf
    Of course, if you know all this already, my apologies. It's hard to tell sometimes from the posts. If Links does show .incx files and they're not missing or anything, check the the Assignments panel (in either ID or IC). Do you see any stories listed there?
