InDesign CC 2014 Preferences Issue

I am running InDesign CC 2014. When I open a new document, the new document shows the page width and height in points or picas. I have set my preferences to inches but that doesn't seem to do anything. Didn't have this issue before.

Set it with no docs open to make it the default for new work. It won't affect existing files.

  • InDesign CC 2014 launch issue

    When launching InDesign CC 2014, I get an error message: 'Unable to launch Adobe InDesign as you do not have sufficient permissions to access the preferences folders.' How do I ensure that I have appropriate permissions?

  • Indesign CC(2014) performance issues on Yosemite

    Hi there,
    Already did a reinstall and deleted my preferences but I keep getting issues with linking text pages that gives me constant lag.
    At 6 pages were I link text layers on different pages my computer keeps thinking and it only has about 1000 words. I also pasted in unformatted text to check if it was a Microsoft Word issue, but that didn't help.
    Activity monitor spikes at 6GB alone for Indesign for some reason and I haven't found a solution yet. I'm also not on Overprint preview and have everything on low settings. (Mostly because Indesign still has issues with overprint preview on Retina Macbooks for even small documents). I have to force close Indesign each time this occurs.
    Has anyone experienced this issue? Or has a solution which might help. At 6 pages lag and having to design 90 will take forever this way.

    Hi,
    I have icon missing with Adobe Creative Cloud Installer installed on my mac. It only happened when I updated to yosemite. I went to apply store and got answer was the issue was caused by software. Do you have the same issue?
    My thought is that Adobe doesn't work perfectly with yosemite.

  • InDesign CC 2014 + Mavericks Issues?

    I'm running a 3-month old Mac Air with all the upgrades, bells & whistles.
    I thought I'd demo InDesign and CreativeCloud today and see how they worked for me on this machine.   They both downloaded completely, but InDesign crashes upon opening.  Are there known issues with this?
    I've got the (enormous) crash/exception report, but thought I'd hold that until needed.  Not sure if the entire thing is necessary and I'd rather not puke it all up in here if we only need a piece of it. 
    Any tips/thoughts would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    reset your preferences, InDesign preferences and support file locations and retry.

  • InDesign CC 2014 TOC Issue

    Forgive me in advance if this is a simple NOOB question that would be fixed with a simple checking or unchecking of a tick box somewhere.
    Being new to InDesign, I've got my document all laid out nicely and looking pretty schmick. I've even got the TOC looking how I want... mostly.
    Now, perhaps this is a design limitation, or like I said, a on/off switch, but I have set up my paragraphs in 3 levels for recognition in the TOC, and all looks good, except one header (lvl 2) starts mid-page, with a level 3 heading (leftover from the previous level 2 sequence) at the top of the page.
    Now, by rights, the level 3 heading at the top of the page should appear before the level 2 heading half way down, when the TOC is updated, but alas, the L3 heading appears under the L2 heading in the TOC.
    The question begs, am I limited to only being allowed to start a new L2 on a new page???

    I don't think there's any way to sort paragraphs other than by story and position on the page when you sort a TOC in page order. When sorting by levels is possible (alphabetical sort), Level 1 is the top level and appears before Level 2, and so on.
    Seems to me you re expecting the normal behavior -- your level 3 heading is above the level 2 on the page and you want it to appear before it in the TOC -- so what are you doing that keeps this from happening? Do you have one story, or multiple threads, on this page? Screen shots of the page, the TOC dialog, and the TOC might help.

  • InDesign CC 2014 hasn't copied across shortcuts or preferences

    Opened InDesign CC 2014, after getting a random update for my entire Creative Suite installing all new programs, only to find it hasn't copied across any of my shortcuts or preferences as highlighted under the 'seamless update' part of 'what's new'.
    Really disappointing considering the amount of issues I've had with InDesign since the previous CC update a week or so ago.
    Does anyone know of an easy fix? Or do I have to go and set-up my shortcuts and preferences again?

    You can also migrate the preferences manually from Edit>Migrate Previous Local Settings.
    Seamless update will bring the settings from the same locale i.e if you have InDesign CC (International English) and you installed InDesign CC 2014 (International English) then the settings will migrate but if you installed InDesign CC 2014 (North America), settings will not migrate. This feature supports previous version from CS6 onwards, so it will not work if you have CS5.5 and older settings.

  • Indesign CC 2014 starts only by deleting preferences, stalls otherwise

    Indesign CC 2014 Windows 7 all updates in place
    For some inexplicable reason, if I attempt to start InDesign CC2014 by traditional means. (click on desktop icon or click on INDD file), the program stalls at "loading the application." If I delete preferences (shift+control+alt) during the starting sequence when I click on the desktop icon, the program will start and run normally. Any ideas on how to fix?
    Thanks,
    Joe

    Peter, thanks for your reply. I have two "essential" third party "helpers." Teacup software Typefittter Pro and Extensis Fusion 5. Ever hear of anyone else having issues with these?

  • Help! InDesign CC 2014 crashes and loses workspace and preferences each time

    InDesign CC 2014 crashes on a daily basis (sometimes multiple times per day) causing me to lose my preferences and have to resetup  and reload my workspace... are there any fixes or is this issue even being addressed?

    It's quite likely that there is a problem with the User space on your computer. Please tell us whether you're working a Mac or Windows computer.
    Try creating a new user on your computer and launch InDesign from that user. On a Mac, that would be done in the Users & Groups System Preference.

    Ever since I updated InDesign CC (2014) approximately 22 days ago... I CANNOT get the welcome screen to not come on at the launch on InDesign. I set the preferences in InDesign to NOT show the welcome screen upon launch, but it will NOT hold the preferences i choose. Anyone else have any other ideas? I am about to lose my mind... I hate you ADOBE!!!

    that s just the problem, that is why my level of frustration is boiling over ... I have told InDesign over and over again "Do Not Show Again" but it will just not hold the settings. It might hold it for a day or so, but then suddenly there it is again on another launch. Very very annoying.

  • Porting an InDesign Plugin from InDesign CC to InDesign CC 2014 the plugin complies successfully with the InDesign CC 2014 SDK but at run time presents this error and is disabled. Does anyone know what might be the issue?

    Porting an InDesign Plugin from InDesign CC to InDesign CC 2014 the plugin complies successfully with the InDesign CC 2014 SDK but at run time presents this error and is disabled. Does anyone know what might be the issue?
    Run TimeError Message Presented when InDesign CC 2014 runs:
    Adobe InDesign cannot load the FastFractions.InDesignPlugin plug-in. The FastFractions.InDesignPlugin plug-in requires the 9.0 version of InDesign. Please contact the vendor to get a compatible version of FastFractions.InDesignPlugin.
    Show this alert again?

    As already told this means that the plugin has not been ported correctly. Some part of it for ex InDesign libraries or frameworks are being referenced from the CC sdk instead of the CC2014 sdk. To troubleshoot it i would advise you to rename the folder containing the CC sdk on your machine and then compile the project, it will fail to compile and you will get to know straightaway what aspects of the ported project are still accessing the old sdk. Fix the errors and your plugin will load fine.
    Thanks,

  • Infuriating 'Adobe InDesign CC 2014 has stopped working error' has lost me a day. Just got dumped by chat support...

    Hi All,
    I've taken a few deep breaths before writing this to try and avoid a hugely frustrated rant.
    To summarise; since early this morning my previously healthy version of InDesign CC 2014 has been unable to open, crashing at the 'Executing startup services...' stage with the error message 'Adobe InDesign CC 2014 has stopped working'. I worked on it all day yesterday and use it extensively every day more or less, this problem came out of nowhere overnight. I didn't do any kind of system update in the interim period. I'm using a HP Envy dv7 Notebook PC running Windows 8.
    I tried as much as I could based on my own very limited knowledge and some forum searching. I re-installed the software. Did that again using the Adobe CC cleaner .exe file in between un-install and re-install. I uninstalled older versions of the software (which all worked fine - as does the rest of the Creative Suite software I have installed. I deleted extensions. None of this helped.
    I then went looking for Adobe support and got a guy via Adobe's chat controlling my PC from afar and trying some much deeper technical stuff. After two hours he said that it was an OS issue, sorry... after a bit of dismayed pleading he said OK, I'll try one more thing and made me a new user with administration power, told me to login in to that account and try again. I did, it worked! But it's still broken on my main account and he disconnected in the few minutes I was gone and I now seem to be frozen out of chat help. HELP!
    What does this mean? All CS/CC software seems to be working fine on my normal account apart from InDesign CC 2014. I have a huge file, now very close to being overdue, which I was working on in 2014 CC and can't be opened by older versions. The software works on this other account - so I guess I can work there short term. But how do I get it fixed on my main account?
    Hopefully someone out there has the answer?
    Thanks!
    Luke

    First, see Replace Your Preferences and do it for the original account.
    If that fails to solve the problem, rename the two Adobe folders that contain the prefs in the user profile for that account and copy the folders from the new account where it works. You want to be sure you copy the folders, rather than merge the contents, so you must rename the old folders first.

  • Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 and Indesign CC 2014 Crashing

    I have had some significant issues with Adobe Illustrator and Indesign CC over the past week.  Previous to this I had no issues.  Now, each time I run the programs and place an image, they will crash the moment I try to move the placed image.  I am running a macbook retina with plenty of processing power.  I have tried reinstalls, restarts etc to absolutely no avail.  This is very frustrating.
    If it's useful I can include my most recent crash report.  Any help anyone can provide would be very much appreciated.

    Hi Cklapwyk
    Are you using the Creative Cloud 2013 or 2014 applications? Are you receiving any errors? Are you using any font management software like Extensis suitcase?
    See this link if you are & update the plugin. http://blog.extensis.com/adobe/extensis-compatiblity-adobe-cc-2014.php
    Have you tried resetting the application preferences to see if that helps?
    See: Illustrator Help | Setting preferences
    InDesign Help | Setting preferences
    Can you create new files and place images from the desktop with out crashing? Does this happen when working with simple objects?
    You might try creating a new administrator user account to see if the apps will launch under the new user account.
    Thanks

  • Bridge CC is not showing Indesign CC 2014 file previews

    Bridge CC is not showing previews of InDesign CC 2014. I don't see an update for Bridge anywhere. What am I missing?

    Welcome to the forum,
    Not sure if it's the issue or if it will help, but you could try purging the cache, etc..
    http://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/using/adobe-bridge-workspace.html
    Restore preferences
    Numerous program settings are stored in the Adobe Bridge preferences file, including display, Adobe Photo Downloader, performance, and file-handling options.
    Restoring preferences returns settings to their defaults and can often correct unusual application behavior.
    Press and hold the Ctrl key (Windows) or the Option key (Mac OS) while starting Adobe Bridge.
    In the Reset Settings dialog box, select one or more of the following options:
    Reset Preferences
    Returns preferences to their factory defaults. Some labels and ratings may be lost. Adobe Bridge creates a new preferences file when it starts.
    Purge Entire Thumbnail Cache
    Purging the thumbnail cache can help if Adobe Bridge is not displaying thumbnails properly. Adobe Bridge re-creates the thumbnail cache when it starts.
    Reset Standard Workspaces
    Returns Adobe predefined workspaces to their factory default configurations.
    Click OK, or click Cancel to open Adobe Bridge without resetting preferences.
    If that does not help, you may try searching the Bridge forum or asking there.

  • InDesign CC 2014 crash when saving

    I have a random issue where InDesign CC 2014.2 crashes randomly, but I can trigger it regularly when trying to Save to network.  I've researched the error report Apple gives me, but there are no forums or solves that have worked.  I've tried reinstalling CC, uninstalling only InDesign CC 2014, trashing my preferences, I even blanked the machine and loaded all my stuff back onto it and it still crashes.  I've attached the link to the pastebin with the raw dump file.  Please help, Adobe!
