InDesign 7.5.1, slow resize - different than redraw

I recently upgraded to CS5.5 from CS4 on my MacPro 2,26 Quad core Xeon 16GB DDR3.
I'm not sure if the screen redraw is necessarily any slower which has been discussed before, but I have a problem with slow resizing of objects. I have a script which resizes multiple images by -5 % but maintaining their positions, this is very necessary for my work with catalogs. With CS5.5 I noticed running the script has slowed down to take double the time it used to.
I did a test of opening the same .idml file and running the same script on a spread with many objects with CS4 and CS5.5. With CS4 it took 10 seconds, with CS5.5 it takes over 20 seconds.
I have already turned off all page thumbnails, preflight, screen redraw, whatever there is, but none of this makes any difference.
With CS4 I can see things happening while the script runs, I see individual objects get resized, but CS5.5 just halts until it's finished with the job.
I'm running all latest updates on Snow Leopard and like mentioned, my machine should be extra capable of this kind of jobs.

My results don't really match up with yours. Resizing an array of 10x30 rectangles 50%:

That is, CS5.5 is much ebtter for me than CS3 or CS5, but not CS4. And in my case CS5 is better than CS3.

  • Acrobat 9-forms-Radio buttons print different than check boxes

    I am using Acrobat Pro 9 to create forms.
    I've used both radio buttons and check boxes (that are circles).
    Forms were designed in InDesign with Zapf Dingbats as the open circles to be filled in.
    I used radio buttons when the user had to pick one over the other.
    I used check boxes when there were multiple choices or I wanted the user to be able to uncheck a box. (I used the circle style so they would look like radio buttons).
    The radio buttons are printing differently than the check boxes. It looks almost like there is an overlay on top of the actual open circle created by Zapf Dingbats.
    I checked the "appearance" window and there is no border or fill color on the radio buttons (same for the check boxes).
    Under the <general> tab, <common properties> is visible. I'm assuming it should be in order for the radio button to appear on the form.
    I would appreciate any input as to how to fix this.
    Thansk!
    Maureen

    That's just the way radio buttons are, and one reason I rarely use them in preference to check boxes. If Adobe wanted to, they could allow you to use any appearance you want for both the selected an unselected state of a check box or radio button, but they've actually further restricted your options over the years.

  • Trial Download of Indesign CS 5.5 fails at less than a minute remaining

    I have tried downloading the trial version of InDesign CS 5.5 on two different Macs, both eventually fail/hang when the message in the Adobe Download Assistant is "Downloading xxx MB - less than a minute".  This message  remains indefinitely.  No log file that I can find indicates any progress, and the downloaded file is *larger* than the size indicated in the "Downloading xxx mb message".
    In both cases, the computers are running OS 10.6 and the destination for the download is the users Downloads directory.  In one case, the user is an administrator of the computer, in the other it is not.  In both cases there are previous licensed versions of Adobe creative suite products installed (CS5).
    Please provide a solution or a direct download link.

  • A SQL tuning issue-sql runs much slower in test than in production?

    Hi Buddies,
    I am working on a sql tuning issue. A sql runs much slower in test than in production.
    I compared the two explain plans in test and production
    seems in test, CBO refuses to use index SUBLEDGER_ENTRY_I2.
    we rebuile it and re-gether that index statistcs. run, still slow..
    I compared the init.ora parameters like hash_area_size, sort_area_size in test, they are same as production.
    I wonder if any expert friend can show some light.
    in production,

    Hi
    Basically there are two kinds of tables
    - fact
    - lookup
    The number of records in a lookup table is usually small.
    The number of records in a fact table is usually huge.
    However, in test systems the number of records in a fact table is often also small.
    This results in different execution plans.
    I notice again you don't post version and platform info, and you didn't make sure your explain is properly idented
    Please read the FAQ to make sure it is properly idented.
    Also using the word 'buddies' is as far as I am concerned nearing disrespect and rudeness.

  • Why is the contents of Safari's downloads folder different than the actual folder?

    Why is the contents of Safari's downloads folder different than the actual folder that resides in my users folder?

    Problem is if I delete that .plist I'll delete those downloads.  I'm still able to launch those downloads from that location so that tells that file is probably not corrupted. I need to be able to located that folder and transfer the downloads from it before I do anything like this.  So that begs the question, where is that folder located?  When I do a folder search I'm taken to a Downloads folder, but it's not the one that is showing up from within Safari as it's contents are too different.

    If I have two email accounts, one personal hotmail account and one MS Exchange work account on my iPhone 4s, How can I setup individual notifications for each account? Fore example, if I get a work email, I want to hear a DING, DING....If I get a personal email, I want to hear a BEEP, BEEP. Right now, any email from any account has the same notification. I want work incoming email notification to be different than personal incoming notification. The only semi-workaround I've seen is just disable any notification for the Hotmail account, so only work emails would notify. But then I don't know when I get a personal email.

  • I want to use Back to my mac. When I try to turn it on, it says "Back to My Mac may be slow because more than one device on your network is providing network services.   Turn off NAT and DHCP on one of the devices and try again." How do I fix this?

    Not sure if I am doing this right. This is my first time in the support community.
    I imagine what I put in my heading was supposed to go in here.
    I want to use Back to my mac. When I try to turn it on, it says "Back to my mac may be slow because more than one device on your network is providing network services. Turn off NAT and DHCP on one of the devices and try again. See the documentation that came with your device for information about turning off network services"
    Does anyone know how I do this? I contacted my ISP (Telus in Canada) and they did not know anything (not that they usually do).

    Why do ISPs insist upon making things so difficult for their customers?
    If you cannot get them to understand that you would prefer to use your own router over their piece of cheap junk, perhaps the information in the following will be useful:
    http://keithbalomben.wordpress.com/2012/03/29/telus-actiontec-v1000h-hacks-and-i nformation/
    Scroll down to DHCP Settings
    You will need to log in with proper "technician" credentials. They are provided in the above link as
    Username: tech
    Password: t3lu5tv
    ... but these may or may not work. Try it, and if you cannot get anywhere at least now you know what to ask Telus to do in return for your business.

    My Mac Book Pro has slowed to less than a crawl (possibly from a worm or virus).  How do I make sure it's running at peak efficiency before I complain to comcast

    Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them; in that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
    Restart the router and the broadband device, if they're separate. Any change?
    Run Software Update and install all available updates for OS X or the computer's firmware. Any change?
    If possible, connect to the router with an Ethernet cable and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?
    Are any other devices on the network, and if so, are they the same?
    If you can connect to more than one network, are they all the same?
    Are all network applications affected, or only some? If only some, which ones?
    Is networking always the same, or is the problem intermittent?
    Disconnect all other devices from the network. Any change?
    If you're running a MacBook with the lid closed, open the lid. Any difference?
    Start up in safe mode and test. Any difference?
    Start up in Recovery mode. From the OS X Utilities screen, select Get Help Online. A clean copy of Safari will launch. No plugins, such as Flash, will be available. Any difference?
    If possible, turn off Bluetooth and disconnect any USB 3 devices. Any difference?

  • Photo rotaion in organize view different than edit view & slideshow

    Photo rotaion in organize view different than edit view & slideshow. The fact that the power supply to the computer was accidentally disconnected while I was working in iPhoto no doubt was the cause of this phenom.
    Any suggestions as to how to re-sync the rotations back up?

    Thanks for the tip. I wasn't aware of the use of theses two keys simultaneously. It occured to me after this post to just trash the whole library which I had just created for this particular group of photos and re-import the photos to a newly re-created library. I still had the camara connected so as it turned out it was fairly easy. Now that I think about it, if this hadn't been a newly created library just for this group of photos it wouldn't have worked so simply, so I guess I discovered another benifit for having multiple libraries.
    I'm glad you recomended the apple/alt key combo though as this knowledge no-doubt will come in handy at some time.

  • How can I have a topic name different than the filename of a linked Word document?

    I've encountered multiple issues with linking to Word files ...here's another one: If a Word document is entitled Feature_ABC, then upon generating the HTM after linking it, the HTM's filename and topic name are both Feature_ABC. As underscores are ugly in topic names and features can be renamed, I would hope that I could rename the topic to be different than the filename.
    The Help documentation suggests this is possible by editing the Topic Name Pattern in the Word Conversion Settings dialog of Project Settings. However, reagardless of the Pattern entered, every time I generate or update from the context menu of a linked Word document the topic name remains the same as the filename.
    Because the topic name is shown in the Search panel and browser tabs, it will be a little ugly and may even be confusing. It is possible to edit the HTML directly, but then the HTML is overwritten each time the Word documents are update and the great advantage of using linked documents is lost.
    Is there a way to solve this problem?
    Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide.

    Thank you for your quick reply - just checked Multifox out.

    I just upgraded to lion on my intel macbook.  I would like to change my facetime alert to something different than a phone ring and, I would like to be able to have full screen.  How do I do this?

    Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
    1.  Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
    If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

  • Itunes shows library different than on Touch

    What's showing as on my IPod Touch 5th gen. is different than what's actually on the device and available for me to play.
    I know, you won't believe me, but ITunes shows a whole different list of songs than what I see when I browse the device. It's like 2290 items according to iTunes, (good!), compared with 127 songs I can see on the device (bad!). Coincidentally, those 100 or so are all ones I've purchased from Apple.
    The truth is that I've had persistent, massive problems with this thing over its life, which I've occasionally railed about here. Long story.
    Question is, how do I get these two in sync again? - with all the tracks I've put on it, painstakingly, over hours and days. I suppose this could easily be for the ITouch forum, but I'm arbitrarily posting here because it occurs after hooking the device up to iTunes.
    Thanks for any info.

    In an ideal world all of your media content is on your system drive, listed in iTunes and organized in a portable layout. You then have a complete clone of the iTunes folder as a backup. If your system drive is too small to hold everything then putting the entire library on an external drive with a backup on a second drive also works. If you want access to some content on the laptop when travelling without having to take the external then it is possible to split the library up and store some content locally and not others, but that requires more effort to get right.
    I'm still not clear what has gone wrong on your system, but some third party tools (e.g. Sony VIAO media manager and some antivirus packages) can interfere with the way the iTunes updates its database files leading to the concessional corruption. iTunes also expects all media content to stay in the same place so any manual manipulation of the media folders can lead to trouble.
