  • Problem with open Word Documents and Quark Documents

    Hi,
    I am getting a strange problem with OS X Server 10.4.6, running on a G4 Xserve 1Ghz.
    When working on files in Microsoft Word X and 2004 after having the file open for a few minutes if you try and save we get an error "Word failed reading from this file", or "Bad network connection".
    Also in Quark 6.52 and Quark 6.1 when trying to save a file to the server we get "File not found [-43]". It is possible to open files, and it is also possible to move files onto the share using finder without any problems. To work on documents we are having to work on them locally on the desktop then copy across once done.
    The only thing that i can think has changed is the power went off last night, which casued the Xserve to restart. These problems are occuring across all client computers so i am assuming it can only be a problem with the server.
    Does anyone have any idea what this could be, or any tests that i can do to detmine what is up with it
    Many Thanks

    Hi David,
    I have just tried power-cycling the switches, still getting the same problem.
    I will run disk utility on the shares at lunch. I don't think this will help as it is happening on both data drives.
    I have now also updated the OS X server to 10.4.7, and have turned the access log and error log on, it is showing no errors in the error log, and i can't see anything in the access log that looks out of the ordinary.
    With Quark i can replicate the same problem every time by creating a new project, saving it, altering it and saving it again (this works), then if i alter it again and try and save it comes up with "Duplicate File Name [-48]". It is also not deleting the temporary files, for example "QXP-1055966280.qxp".

  • Leopard and Quark document icons??

    Hi
    All of my document have their appropriate icons, pdf icon PS icon etc. Yet Quark does not, just a grey box??? Any ideas?

    Have been on Quark.com forum and they say there should be an update around Jan . Have you found that you can no longer pick which pages of a document to pdf? I have and its a wind up. Tried a question on Quark forum about itt, but it is not as vigorous as this one, so some questions just get ignored.

  • I have to reformat my hard drive and reinstall all of my programs. What do I do about Creative Cloud? I also still need access to CS6 (I have a Marksware converter for InDesign to Quark).

    I have to reformat my hard drive and reinstall all of my programs. What do I do about Creative Cloud? I also still need access to CS6 (I have a Marksware converter for InDesign to Quark).
    This is a MacBook Pro 15" (Model number A1286) running Mavericks. Hard drive is fine but system software has been corrupted. I cannot simply restore from Time Machine as it will copy the corrupt system.
    Will I have to find all of my serial numbers before I can launch any of the programs?
    Thanks

    For the Cloud, you log in to your paid Cloud account and download & install the same way you did the first time

    If you have the perpetual license version of CS6 you install from your original media and use your serial number
    If you have the version of CS6 that is installed via the cloud use this link

    InDesign CS6 is not optimized for retina displays. You’ll need to move to Creative Cloud for retina compatibility.

  • I am trying to uninstall and reinstall InDesign and a box shows up saying there is a file open, and I can't find it to close it. Before that, InDesign wouldn't open at all.

    I was trying to open InDesign and it wouldn't open at all. So I tried to uninstall it, intending to reinstall it to see if that would fix the problem. A box popped up saying a file was open, but I couldn't find the file to close it. What else can I try?

    I just uninstalled it and am waiting for it to reinstall. I sincerely hope that I have not lost everything that I worked on so hard. Now that mobile me is gone, I have not been able to go between devices to transfer things. I was merely trying to take a document I had worked on and open it in pages, but it said my version was too old. When I updated, it wouldn't load. Now I cannot do anything. I hope that the reinstall fixes it without losing everything. Please advise!!! Yes, I am in panic mode.

    I have been creating forms in InDesign and pulling into Acrobat XI Pro to do form fields. My client would like to fill in the PDF form using Reader, save under a different name locally on their device, and redistribute. The problem I have is that, sometimes, they want to redistribute the form as Read Only. I know how to flatten the form on a mobile device, but uncertain how they can do that with a PC or Mac using Adobe Reader. I looked at FormsCentral thinking there might be a solution going that route, but don't believe there is. Any advice?

    FormsCentral won't help with flattening a form. You could set up the form in Acrobat so that the fields are set to read-only, using JavaScript. Not quite the same as flattening but it's the best Reader can do.
    Note that when Reader is used to e-sign a document, it gets flattened, but this won't be possible if you need to Reader-enable the form and under certain other conditions.

  • INDD CS6 error: "InDesign cannot open files in the "InDesign CS5.5 Document" format.

    Working in CS6 on Mac OS X 10.7.5: When I double click an INDD file in the Finder, I get the following error from InDesign:
    "The document "doc name" could not be opened. InDesign cannot open files in the "InDesign CS5.5 Document" format." 
    This just started recently and I have not been able to figure out why. I have not updated INDD or OS X. I can't think of anything else that changed, other than maybe a Java update. Have not updated to the latest OS yet. 
    The files I'm trying to open are files I created with CS6 - as recent as a few minutes ago.  I can open them fine using the File>Open command in InDesign so I can open them, but I can't open them by double clicking them in Finder or dragging them to the INDD icon in the dock.
    The info in Finder's "Get Info" window says they are CS6 files set to open in CS6 and I have permissions to read and write. They are not locked.  
    This is not incapacitating, but rather annoying and slows me down since this is one of the most common ways I open files. 
    Any suggestsion would be appreciated.

    Probably won't work because it sounds like an OS problem of some sort, but you can try trashing the prefs. See Replace Your Preferences

  • Fonts jagged in InDesign and PDF export

    I've been troubleshooting this issue for days, with no success. I'm using IDCS6 on a MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion, and it probably happens with all fonts, but I've noticed it specifically with "Din mittelschrift" at a large pt. size and 100% magnification. It wouldn't be a terrible thing, since it's not noticeable in most of the document, but I'm trying to create a catalog of sorts (as a series of 2-page spreads) and the brand's name on the cover has the most obnoxiously rough edges - I can't send the PDF off to anyone in this condition.
    I'm an experienced computer user but an InDesign novice, so I've been trying various things I've found online that successfully solved others' problems, without having a very clear idea of what many things in ID do. Reading a few Adobe tutorials didn't enable me to fix things, either.
    I've seen others post that jagged-looking fonts can clear up when exported to a PDF, but that didn't work. When I export to a PDF, interactive or not, it appears jagged at 100% - though strangely enough, at 300% it looks fine.
    I checked my ID display settings. It's jagged even at High Quality - and display settings in InDesign wouldn't affect the PDF, anyway.
    I made sure the font was installed in the proper place (Library/Fonts), cleared my font cache, and restarted the computer.
    I tried converting the text to outlines in InDesign.
    I tried setting the opacity to 99.9%.
    I changed the color of the text to a grey (240/240/240) to reduce the contrast in case that was an issue.
    The rest of the document appears fine in InDesign and as a PDF. No extreme jagged edges or low-quality appearance.
    Right now the document is intended to only be viewed on a screen, but since I'm unsure if I'll ever be asked to prepare it for printing I created it using ID's print layout. I've been avoiding converting it to a web layout because that would mean hours of reformatting, and I figure that fonts should render with smooth edges no matter what the layout is set as.
    I think I've done more than what's listed above, but forgotten the specifics.
    I'll try anything short of destroying the catalog and starting over.
    Thank you!

    Can you take a screenshot of what this looks like and post it?
    Also, I've noticed that sometimes weird crap will show up when you view something in Acrobat. Like you can see a line between the font and the stroke, but when you zoom way in, it looks fine. It will print fine as well. Just a display issue. Can you print it? When you print it does it look like crap?

  • Crashing in PS CS and Quark when opening files over network

    Mac Pro and MacBook Pro 10.4.8 using Adobe Photoshop CS2 and Quark 6.52 will crash or become VERY unstable when opening files from server or remote machine. Server is 10.3.9 or remote Mac running 10.4.7, all works fine IF file are copied to client machine, but cannot use -File/Open dialog. This is a network isue in relation to Intel translation, is there a fix (Rosetta?)

    Try looking for some "special" characters in file or folder names ( e.g. / or ?).
    I had similar problems with PPC-Apps (InDesign CS2 and 4D Client 2003) since 10.4.7 and 10.4.8. App crashes or shows strange grey boxes on the screen when I tried to open files over the network, no probs with same files locally.

  • How to embed SWF in InDesign and export as PDF?

    I am trying to do something that seems very simple, but I can't get it to work. I have a simple SWF animation that I have exported from Flash CS5, and I have placed it into my Indesign CS5 document. I checked these items in the Media panel:
    Play on Page Load
    Poster: From Current Frame
    When I export the PDF, I select PDF/X-4 and choose Interactive Elements: Include Appearance. I get a still image of the animation in the PDF, but it doesn't play. Why?

    Hi, I have the same issue??
    Even when exporting as an interactive pdf.
    My problem is that I am trying to figure out how to export my swf embedded file into an interactive pdf.
    I have created an interactive presentation with buttons, effects etc. After which I exported to swf so that all the effects work.
    But when placing the swf file back into indesign and exporting again as an interactive pdf it doesn't work at all, all I get is a white screen. (I need a pdf for clients basically, they dont want any swf or flash files.)
    Even though after placing the swf file, in the media window I ticked play on page load as well as chose a cover image for the swf file. Still just a white screen when exporting.
    To repeat, I need to know how to convert my swf file into an interactive pdf.
    Any pointers please would be great I have some swf presentations I need to change into pdf as soon as possible or before tomorrow to be exact before our monthly meeting with clients.
    Please help

  • Why can I not open a stated InDesign CS8.1 document when mine says it is InDesign CC version 9.1? I have creative cloud.

    Why can I not open a stated InDesign CS8.1 document when mine says it is InDesign CC version 9.1? I have creative cloud.

    The version error messages are really screwed up and out of sync with the new naming (CC) system. CS8.1 would be CC2014 version 10.1

  • How to open illustrator file (.ai) using Indesign and save it as XML

    I know how to open a Illustrator file (.ai) in Indesign.
    It would be like :
    1 ) Save your Illustrator file as AI. This Native format is most compatible with InDesign.
    2 )  Go to -> InDesign, click on your document using your  Frame Rectangle tool (the one with the X through it).
    3 )  Fill in the desired size (can be adjusted later).
    5 ) Go to File menu > Place.
    6 )  Find and select the Illustrator file in the window that opens.
    7 ) Click the Open button.
    Adjust size, & position of your image using the Direct Selection tool (white arrow), and the cropping with the Seclection tool (black arrow.
    Now I want to save this file as XML.
    After that,  I say
    1 )  File -> Export
    But this file saves as XML only shows he the root element nothing else.
    Every time , this shows like
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
    <Root></Root>
    Nothing is there as contents.
    Can anyone let me know, is it possible to store .AI file as XML.
    My requirement is simple, i want to store the .ai file as XML.
    Some how I am using Indesign to do so . Can any body help.
    Thanks,

    Copy and paste is again seems same as 'Place the file'  , it wouldn't help again.
    Copy( from Illustrator) and paste( it in Indesign) and  later saving\exporting as XML again create the same the XML file with no data . Just a XML structure,
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
    <Root />
    RRegarding using the FXG and SVG file .. saving these formats to XML does not shows the Co-ordinates in XML formats.
    I do I would like to have the coordinates (x,y) so that later on , if required I can change the coordinates and display the Image or Text in the file. As this is a requirement for business card.

  • InDesign and Scrolling

    Hi, I'm a graphic designer that has to use InDesign and the CS3 suite of programs quite a bit. I added 11 GB of ram to my mac pro and I thought that would really speed up InDesign's scrolling. However, the scrolling through pages in my documents is still choppy, and if I scroll too fast, InDesign actually makes the screen go white, and the only way to refresh it would be to zoom in and out. Can any tell me if this might be a graphics card problem? Or if this is acceptable and just how things are? Is it too much to ask for smooth scrolling?

    I agree wholeheartedly. Check this post: Jerky scrolling in CS, primitive & unacceptable?
    This choppy scrolling perfomance should not be acceptible om modern infrastruture like the machines we have now. It‘s embarrassing, frankly.
