InDesign all versions: is there a rectangle widget...

I need to draw a rectangle on a dialog, fill it with white background and then place a text box and another custom widget on top of it.  Is therea already a widget that will provide me with this functionality, or do I need to write my own custom widget?

This can be done with the included D&D interaction: you can have multiple correct answers.

    I am using Indesign cs5 version 7.0.4 with a mac OS X version 10.9.4. I am having an issue where the save and save as option disappears. I am exporting the file as .idml and then resaving to avoid losing work but has to import all the images which takes ages. Any help out there?

    I believe there are a couple of similar threads about CC or CC2014 behaving this way that might give yo some hints, but CS5 is not supported on your OS and may not run properly regardless of what you do. An in-place OS upgrade or an attempt to migrate the application would both be major problems for ID, so if you did either of those things you'll want to uninstall, run the cleaner tool (CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3) and reinstall.

  • Is InDesign 2.0 compatible with all versions of Adobe Pro?

    Is InDesign 2.0.2 compatible with all versions of Adobe Professional?
    For years, I created InDesign documents using 2.0.2, placing PDF documents created using Acrobat Distiller 6.0.1 (Windows) with no issue.  At the beginning of 2010, my software was updated from Adobe Pro 6 to Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 with no change to InDesign.
    When I place PDF documents created using the newer 9 version, I receive an error, "This PDF document was saved with security settings which prevent its pages from being placed."  I am unable to decipher what needs to be changed.  Under the security properties of the PDF documents created using version 6 and 9, there are NO security settings.
    Is there an action step I can take when placing the PDF documents (version 9) into InDesign 2.0?

    In Acrobat 9, open the PDF.
    Go to the Document Menu
    Select Reduct File Size
    Set the compatability level
    Alternately, Export the PDF to PDF/X, and select the 1a option. This should 'dumb down' the PDF enough for ID 2 to accept it.

  • Is there a help searchbar in CS6 Indesign (Windows version)?

    i like to know if there is a "help searchbar" available for indesign (windows version).
    i know that there is one in the mac version, but i can't see one in the windows version?
    http://indesignsecrets.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/IDHelpMenu.jpg
    do i need to turn it on or something or is it only exclusive for mac's?

    is that really the one?
    i taught ad first to but that searchbar works differently.
    instead of showing the location of a certain something i'm looking for like in the mac version.
    it opens my web browser to the adobe website and does a google search kinda thing.
    i want it like the mac version, to search for something like e.g. pathfinder and it directing/showing me where i can find it without opening the browser.

  • Using InDesign CC version 9.3 and can't open file made in CC 2014? What means this?

    Hi All,
    Just downloaded CC a week or two ago. It says it is version 9.3. I assumed this to be the newest version out there. However, I received an ID file and tried to open it and I get an error saying it was made in a newer version of ID. It gives me the option to convert the file, but what gives? Why would I not have the newest version?
    My assumption was that the CC versions would be continuously updated as time went on. Is this not the case? Help!

    @Shawn – you need at least OSX 10.7.5 to run InDesign CC 2014.2.
    I have one MacBook Pro with OSX 10.6.8 and InDesign CS3, CS4, CS5 and CS5.5.
    And another one with OSX 10.7.5 and  InDesign CS6, CC and CC 2014.2 installed.
    All versions running fine on the respective machines.

  • Apple Indesign Fonts - opening in PC Indesign - all missing

    Hi folks
    I have just taken on a new client, who's magazine was produced by a company using Creative Cloud InDesign.  I was on 5.5 so have taken the leap to CC.  I have just opened one of the InDesign files and most things seem ok on the face of it, except all the fonts are missing.
    I expect this is because the old company are mac based and I am on PC.  Rather than having to go through a hundred fonts looking for the correct PC version, is there a quick way to do this?
    Thanks
    S

    Were the fonts packaged with the file? They appear to be TrueType, but there's no way to tell from the screen cap if they re Windows TT (which also work on Mac) or Mac format that will not work on Windows. If the fonts are in a folder named Document Fonts with the .indd file ID should use them if they are compatible. Mac format fonts will show as 0 bytes in Explorer.

  • I have InDesign 3 Version 5.0 for Mac. I have a client with a PC who has either InDesign 6 or CC for PC. If I sell him usage rights to my files, will he be able to use them?

    I have InDesign 3 Version 5.0 for Mac. I have a client with a PC who has either InDesign 6 or CC for PC. If I sell him usage rights to my files, will he be able to use them?

    ...but from what I have read general practice is to charge extra for native files as you are giving over usage rights of the artwork.
    Not a lawyer, just been around the block before. It all sort of depends on the client and understandings on both your parts, whether in writing or not. What is their expectation while they were paying you? What was your expectation during the same period? In lieu of an agreement, I think the courts would side on the client's rights.
    But regardless, I generally do what Peter wrote unless there is an agreement in writing stating otherwise. One of the reasons why I happily turn over client work is because sometimes the new-hire or new contractor simply doesn't work out and I am often called back into the mix. It's goodwill.

  • The "hanging/freezing/not responding" problem that existed in all versions of Firefox 3.6 persists in Firefox 4.0

    Starting on April 14, 2011, I tried installing Firefox 4.0, which I downloaded from the Mozilla site. The first couple of times I tried to install it, it corrupted Firefox file places.sqlite. I know this because the install renamed the file to places.sqlite.corrupt. Luckily, I had recent backups. My previous installed versions were 3.5.18, which I had been using up to this time, and 3.6.16. I tried installing 4.0 with 3.6.16 installed, which I installed only for the sake of installing 4.0, and with no previous version installed and got the same bad results. I finally got a "successful" install on April 16, 2011, with no previous version installed.
    Early on I discovered that Firefox 4.0 hangs (Firefox not responding) when left to idle for exactly 5 minutes (I timed it several times after immediately starting Firefox), pegging a constant 50% of the CPU when it hangs. I left it in a hanging state for up to half an hour, but nothing changed. This problem existed for all versions of Firefox 3.6, which is why I didn't install version 3.6.16 until I was ready to install version 4.0. I never kept any version of Firefox 3.6 installed for more than a couple of hours because of this problem. I need to be able to let Firefox stay idle for long periods of time -- certainly for more than 4 minutes and 59 seconds -- without having it hang, and I was able to do that with all versions of Firefox prior to version 3.6. It's incomprehensible that Firefox 4.0 has to always hang if it's inactive for more than 4 minutes and 59 seconds, and it's incomprehensible that this problem has been present and persistent since version 3.6 was introduced. To believe that 4 minutes and 59 seconds is sufficient idle time for a browser is absurd. This was never an issue with any version of Firefox prior to version 3.6, this was never an issue with Netscape, and it's not an issue with IE 8.
    There are 2 other problems related to the hanging problem. If the browser and the bookmarks library are both open and the browser is closed normally, the bookmarks library remains open. After being left idle for exactly 5 minutes, the bookmarks library hangs, pegging a constant 50% of the CPU. If Firefox 4.0 is restarted before the 5 minute idle limit, it starts successfully. If an attempt is made to restart it after the 5 minute idle limit, it won't start. If the bookmarks library is left open for less than 5 minutes after the browser is closed, it can be closed successfully. In all versions of Firefox prior to version 3.6, the bookmarks library automatically closed when the browser was closed. The other related problem is that Firefox 4.0 occasionally pegs a constant 50% of the CPU without hanging even while it is being used and even if the only thing open is the home page, which in my case is google.com. Firefox can be used while this is happening, but it is worrisome and shouldn't be happening. Normally, Firefox 4.0 uses no CPU when it is left to idle within the 5 minute idle limit.
    Firefox 4.0 has not crashed on its own yet, so I've had no crash reports to send to Mozilla, but because I've had to use the "End Now" button on the Microsoft unresponsive program window numerous times to terminate it when it hangs, numerous Microsoft Windows dump reports have been generated, all of which I've sent to Microsoft.
    The last fully working version of Firefox I had was 3.5.18. Unfortunately, I don't have the installer for that version and Mozilla doesn't make it available anymore. Also, it looks like version 4.0 altered the places.sqlite file such that I might not be able to go back to version 3.5.18 even if I could. If I could reinstall version 3.5.18 and get it to work with the altered places.sqlite file, I would, but it is outdated and no longer supported by Mozilla, and I only want to use up-to-date and supported software.
    The hanging problem is totally intolerable and unacceptable. If I can't get a version of Firefox 4.0 anytime soon that doesn't hang after being idle for just 5 minutes (why 5 minutes???) or for any limited amount of time, I'll have to install and use Google Chrome as a permanent replacement for Firefox. (If I do have to replace Firefox with Google Chrome, how can I get my Mozilla Thunderbird e-mail links to open in Google Chrome when I click on them?) Based on other user feedback regarding this problem dating back to the very first Firefox 3.6 version, Mozilla has had ample time to resolve it. I have found other problems with Firefox 4.0, but I'm not going to bother telling Mozilla about them because if the hanging problem isn't resolved soon, I'll have to stop using Firefox permanently. I can't and won't tolerate the hanging problem. I have been using Firefox exclusively for many years, but my disappointment with it has been growing since version 3.6 was introduced and my patience has run out.
    I would appreciate Mozilla letting me know within a week of this posting if they can't or won't fix the Firefox 4.0 hanging problem. If I don't receive a substantive response to this problem within a week, I'm going to have to abandon Firefox permanently and switch to Google Chrome. I'm also going to leave a negative review of Firefox 4.0 on CNET to warn other potential users of the hanging problem.
    I am running Windows XP Media Center Edition 32-bit SP3 on a Dell XPS 400 desktop computer. I have an Intel Pentium D CPU 2.80GHz, 3.0GB Dual-Channel DDR2 RAM @ 265MHz, RADEON X300 SE 128MB HyperMemory, and 190GB of free space on my hard drive. I am using COMODO as my firewall and Avira AntiVir as my anti-virus software. I am also using WinPatrol and Secunia PSI. My ISP is AT&T. My download speed averages 2.5 Mbps, and my upload speed averages 0.65 Mbps. All of my software is up to date, thanks to Secunia PSI and CNET TechTracker, and my computer is free from infection.

    Another aspect of the Firefox 4.0 "hanging/freezing/not responding" problem has emerged. I have found that on the common occurrence when Firefox 4.0 occasionally pegs a constant 50% of the CPU while idling within the 5 minute idle limit and I close it normally, it disappears from the Task Bar but continues to run and continues to peg a constant 50% of the CPU. I tried restarting Firefox 4.0 and got the following message: "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." Before Firefox can be restarted, the existing Firefox process must be killed via the Task Manager or Process Explorer (I use the latter), after which a Microsoft Windows dump report is immediately generated. I always allow the dump to be sent to Microsoft.
    The three big questions that have gone unanswered by Mozilla are 1) why did the hanging problem start with the very first release of Firefox 3.6, 2) why was the problem allowed to continue on up to and through Firefox 4.0, and 3) why hasn't Mozilla fixed the problem yet? And what is the significance of the 5 minute idle limit? Do Firefox 3.6 through 4.0 try to launch something when the browser and/or the bookmarks library have been idle for exactly 5 minutes? Maybe it's a problem with the number and/or type of plugins and extensions and/or the number of bookmarks. Maybe Firefox 3.6 through 4.0 work just fine if there are few to no plugins, extensions, and bookmarks, but that doesn't realistically accommodate users. Whatever the cause of the problem, Mozilla should have had a handle on it by now.
    If anyone from Mozilla Support is reading this post, please let me know if it is possible to roll back Firefox 4.0 to Firefox 3.5.18. If it is possible, how do I do it, and where can I get the installer for Firefox 3.5.18? If I can reinstall it, I'll use it until Secunia Software Inspector informs me that it is insecure and no longer safe to use. At that point (maybe much sooner), I'll switch to Google Chrome exclusively because I don't want to use outdated software that is insecure and because I don't believe that Mozilla intends to fix the hanging problem and is willing to lose users over it. I certainly don't want to use software like Firefox 4.0 that has such an impactful problem. If I do have to abandon Firefox, how can I click on Mozilla Thunderbird e-mail links and get them to open in Google Chrome?

  • Why can't I print my pdfs out of the InDesign Trial Version CS4?

    HELP !! I can’t print out the Pdfs I made with i the Adobe  InDesign CS4 Version. Can’t even save the document as eps. and a printer  spooler file it won’t do either due “to unknown error”.
    Is there something wrong with the trial version? Printing disenabled?
    Need help urgently cause the documents need to go to the printer.
    Thank you, slightly panicing ;( help help help

    I don't think the OP is trying to print to PDF -- it says they can't print OUT the PDF they've made.

    How about providing some system specs, please?

    What you've outlined in this part of the post is all that icloud stores for you outside of the backup. If you want to restore from the icloud backup you will then have for all practical purposes a carbon restoration back to your device if you restore from the icloud backup.

  • The latest update to CC has caused brush lag across all versions of Photoshop.  How can I fix this?

    Ever since this past week's update to CC, I have noticed a decrease in performance across all versions of Photoshop I have installed, CS6 and CC.  Many of the brushes I have, both in Photoshop's default and my own custom sets, lag horribly when drawing.  My system had not previously had this issue as far as I can tell.  Just to be safe, I have tested Photoshop on other builds, a macbook pro and a near top of the line PC.  The lag happens across all systems.  I've tried drawing with just the mouse and the Cintiq 12WX and the responsiveness is the same.
    For the sake of this case, here are the specs of my main work computer.  All drivers are up to date, as is the OS:
    Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q6600 2.40 GHZ
    RAM: 8 GB
    Operating System: Windows 8 (64-bit)
    Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 6700 Series
    Hard Drive: Samsung 830 256 GB Solid State (where my scratch drive is)
    Monitor: 2 X Dell U2410
    I have tried altering the OpenGL settings and disabling them altogether on all builds, including this one. There is no change in the lag of the brushes.
    For the sake of complete clarity, these are the specs of the near top of the line PC and the Macbook, which both had the same issues:
    The PC:
    Processor: Intel Core i5 3570K 3.4 GHz, overclocked to 4.4 GHz
    RAM: 16GB DDR3 1600 MHz
    Operating System: Windows 8 (64 Bit)
    Graphics Card: 2 X EVGA Nvidia GTX 670 4GB SLI
    Hard Drive: 2 X Samsung 840 Pro 256 GB SSD, Raid 0
    Monitor: Apple 27" Cinema Display
    Macbook Pro:
    Processor: Intel Core i7 2.7 GHz
    Operating System: OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion
    Hard Drive: Western Digital 500GB 7200 RPM
    Graphics: Nvidia Geforce 630M
    I've also tried completely uninstalling and re-installing Photoshop CS5 and CC on my work computer, which still did not solve the issue.
    I am a freelance artist and this sudden lack of performance is putting a cramp in my deadlines and possibly in my income stream, if I cannot solve this issue quickly.  Please advise!

    I have some new info on the issueI thought I'd share with you.
    First of all, I've installed Photoshop CC on my SurfacePro (Windows 8) and do not have the lag issue there. It's very similar hardware to my MacBook Pro. So the issue must have something to do with my MacBook.
    After a lot of tinkering I discovered that it is my 27" Thunderbolt Display that is causing the brush lag. When I unplug it and only use my built in 13" screen the brush lag is gone. Aha!
    I tried every available option in the Performance section but nothing helped. Again, Photoshop CS5 with attached Thunderbolt Display doesn't have a brush lag issue.
    I'd be interested to know everyone else's setup who is experiencing this problem.

  • InDesign CS4 version 6.0.6. and Mac OS 10.6.8

    iMac 24 inch, OS 10.6.8, InDesign CS4 version 6.0.6. Since upgrading to 10.6.8, I can no longer print double sided. The problem does not exist with any other software I have Adobe or not. I have a HP LaserJet 2300dn printer with the most current driver installed connected to ethernet. The printer acts as if it is printing a double sided page, but what should be one page comes out as two pages.
    Is there a solution to the problem?

    There are reports of printing problems for some people (not me) under 10.6.8.
