InDesign CC crashes when creating a text box

My InDesign CC 2014 keeps crashing when I try and create a new text box and type in it. I don't understand why. Help please!

Could be. Try Remove minor corruption by exporting
Could also be a bad font, but that's less likely unless you are using fonts you don't normally use.

Indesign repeatedly crashes when I copy text from one InDesign document to another InDesign document

Indesign CC repeatedly crashes when I copy text from one InDesign document to another InDesign document. Is it possible to solve this problem?

Without system information and details like what text formatting, language settings, fonts used, paragraph styles even down to the spell check language nobody can even begin to guess.

My indesign keeps crashing when I type in a text box

Hello
My indesign keeps crashing when ever I start typing in a text box (CS5) - I followed a similar discussion and the advice was to uninstall and reinstall - I have uninstalled but cannnot find my Master collection to re-install. I'm working on a Mac Leopard - Please Help

I'm a Widows guy with some Mac experience, so these directions may be a bit fuzzy, and someone else may feel free to pop in. My recollection is that you will need to double-click both of the .dmg files (these are disk image files) to mount them, if they don't mount automatically. You may have to decompress the first file further to get it to extract the installer (which should automatically extract the second file). If you are able to run the installer, and enter your serial number, but the number is not recognized as valid it will be because there is some sort of trap for education serial numbers.
If that's the case, you are probably out of luck on CS5, but you may be eligible to upgrade to a full commercial license for CS6, or a discounted Creative Cloud license. I'm not dead certain, but I believe the old serial number should be sufficient to to provide proof of previous license during the install. If that's the route you need to take, you need to do it quickly. Once CS7 is released, and predictions seem to be in about ten days to two weeks from now, at least for an official launch date announcement, your CS5 will probably no longer be good for an upgrade discount.

Create expandable text boxes & maintain Indesign interactive features

I have a form created in indesign which has interactive buttons included. I exported to pdf and now need to add expandable text boxes. I tried to do this in Livecycle but when i imported the pdf as a flowable form (with a view to make it dynamic) the interactive buttons i had created disappeared. is there a way around this so that i can create expandable text boxes but still maintain the buttons i have created?
PS i am completely new to Livecycle

Hi Reggie,
Here are two versions. One form with a fixed number of pages and the other with a variable number of pages (you can add additional page 1).
In the fixed number of pages, the click event of the index button includes the following instruction to go to a target page:
xfa.host.currentPage = 1;
This works because the page we want is always "1".
If the form is dynamic and the number of pages can increase (or decrease) from those set at design, then we need to track the actual page number of each target page, at runtime.
The script in the index button now looks like this:
xfa.host.currentPage = page2.thisPage.rawValue - 1;
Here the target page is page2 and on this page we have a field called "thisPage". The instruction is to jump to the current value of thisPage on page 2.
For each target page that you want to index, you will need a hidden field (thisPage). You need to put this on each page and not on the Master Page.
Hopefully the examples will help explain this.
This is how we do it, there probably are other solutions out there.
In relation to the second part, the link feature in Acrobat will not work with a form developed in LC Designer. Paul has a thread (http://forums.adobe.com/message/1923918#1923918) with a PDF for attaching documents, which were then listed in a list box. This could help you in developing your form.
Another option is to have a button which becomes visible is there are attachments in the PDF. The click event then shows/hides the attachment panel. The user can then see the attachment and double click on the one they want/need. I know it is not as clean, but it is easier to implement. The javascript for the button would be:
app.execMenuItem("ShowHideFileAttachment");
Hope that helps,
Niall

InDesign cs6 crashes when exporting objects with drop shadows to interactive PDF

I am using the trial version of InDesign CS6 on a mac OSX 10.7.4 I need to export my document as an interactive PDF. I have found that the export works fine so long as none of the objects within my document have a drop shadow. However, if I add a drop shadow to any object (text, images, or video) InDesign will crash when I try to export. I am adding the drop shadow by selecting the object and then choosing Object > Effects > Drop Shadow. Is there another method I should be using to add the shadow if I want to export to an Interactive PDF?

Hi Peter, thanks for the response. Yes, I have tried creating a new blank project and adding one text object with a drop shadow and then exporting to Interactive PDF, and I experienced the same result. I tried replacing my preferences as you suggested and found that it did not have any affect.
I continued developing my InDesign document without using any drop shadows and began to experience the same type of crashing under two more circumstances. 1. When relinking assets in my Links panel. 2. When exporting to interactive PDF with interactive objects that are being clipped (I get a warning telling me I have clipped objects before I export; when I click export I experience the same crash.) I have tried exporting the same file to a print (non-interactive) PDF and experienced no crashing.
I thought I should mention that I am using a retina display mac book pro with 16GB RAM. Could my graphics cards or the configureation of my machine be causing my issue?
Thanks so much,

Indesign CS5 crashes when deleting an index

Hi,
Indesign CS5 crashes when deleting an index.
Thanks for your help.

the only successful importing the idml-file was in cs4, but there was the problem with the change of layout.
Sounds like the .idml was created in CS5 an opened in CS4. Is that correct? You'd lose unsupported CS5 features and that might result in some layout changes, but I wouldn't expect formatting changes, which you implied originally.
There are quite a few reports now of problems converting legacy files to CS5. I've not had any in my own work, but I haven't tried to update a lot of stuff. I wouldn't for example, switch versions near the end of a project, but would finish up in the original version to avoid any potential issues. Exporting from CS4 to either.inx or .idml and opening that in CS5 may give better results than opeing the CS4 .indd directly.
Since you've already done the conversion, and considerable editing, I'm not sure what to tell you. You could try exporting the text to InDesign Tagged Text, then place that into a new file. Copy/Paste in Place any graphic content.

Issue with creating a text box from a loop

I was hoping someone could take a look at this code and maybe
help me find out why this isnt working. What I am trying to do is:
(NOTE: I have used a few differents scripts and combined them, so
the code may not be the greatest).
Pull Data from a PHP file (The PHP file gets it's data from
database)
Then run a loop that brings in First Name, Last Name, Jersey
Number, and Position
Then before it loops and gets the next player it creates an
array that creates 3 text boxes with Full Name, Jersey Number and
position
then it loops through the process again untill all of the
records have been retreived.
I'm not sure if its because I have a do while loop inside of
a for loop inside of a function and an Array. I'm new to Arrays and
loops. the issue is it wont display the text boxes.
NOTE: When I trace this, the data is being retrieved.
Thanks for the help

"this" inside your onLoad() method refers to your loadvars
instance, receive. and the loadvars class has no createTextField()
method, so you're not going to create any textfields if that code
is in the onLoad() body.
to remedy, reference a timeline instead of receive.

How to create a text box in ascreen painter?

HI friends can anyone tell me how to create a text box in a screen painter?
And attachment BROWSER like what we attach for any documents in over mail.
Example when we click on browser the path of the computer has to be opened and by giving the document name attach and the document will be attached. Please tell me the procedure....
Thks

To get the best answers, I think you probably need to break down your post into several different one with a separate question in each, along with the business problem you are trying to solve... but here's a few pointers for you to research...
Textbox - there's plenty of info in SDN on creating a custom control with a textbox e.g. Re: Text Editor on modulepool Screen and sample code in SAP too.
Attachments - If this is for an email, then GUI_UPLOAD might help and the BCS class is the newer way to send messages... check out Re: Offline Approval: RBBP_NOTIFICATION_OFFAPP Vs RSWUWFMLEC for example... if this is an attachment for an SAP object such as an FI Document or Purchase Order, then the Generic Object Services (GOS) could be what you want e.g. https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/0e6b0d95-0a01-0010-4696-ca0a48de5fb3

Acrobat 9 hangs when adding a text box

It seems that any installation of Acrobat 9 I have come across, Acrobat hangs when adding a text box from "Forms>Add or Edit Fields".
I may need to apply an update or two but this problem seems very consistent and reproducable.
I plan on trying Acrobat 9 Pro on Windows XP to see if it makes any difference, but does anyone have any ideas? OTHER than upgrading to Acrobat X?

Textbox takes few extra seconds to establish himself, but it never hangs for me. Did you tried to click-n-drag to create Textbox?

InDesign CS6 crashes when I try to copy a graphic

I am working in CS6 with a document that was converted from CS4. I want to move a graphic from one spot in the document to another, but when I try to copy it, InDesign immediately crashes. Has anyone else had this problem?
I am working on a PC, and I believe the original file was created on a Mac.

It turns out the culprit was a bad font in the image. I opened the image in Illustrator and converted the font to outlines. That solved the problem! Incidentally, this one image/font problem (this image is used in a couple different manuals) also was causing InDesign to crash when I exported to PDF.
Adobe people, if you read this, it would be great if problematic fonts in images were detected by InDesign, like an error in the preflight panel similar to the linking and font errors currently there. I can't see a way to detect this easily now (how to narrow down which image is a problem when working with 50+ images in a document?) Is there a way that I don't know about?

Indesign CS5 Crashes When Exporting Layer to Incopy

I had a designer who emailed me last week stating she was having problems with Indesign CS5 crashing when she exported her text layer to Incopy. I thought it might just be her machine; however, I've experienced the same problem today five times. Is this a known issue? Has anyone else experienced this? I'm in Indesign CS5 (7.0.3).

Corrupt font perhaps?

Lab View crashing when creating new bound variable

Hi,
I have to connect to an OPC server from Lab view and have played around a bit with the OPC client options.
I would like to use shared variables as that seems like a handy way to access the needed variables. I have followed the instructions in http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/7450 .
However when i use the create bound variables feature LabView crashes when i browse for OPC tags, step3 under "Create Shared Variables that Connect to the OPC Tags through the I/O Server". If i try to expand the node "OPC1" LabView crashes. I try to access the built in NI OPC server locally.
Also during this process LabView gives warning box saying "Configure OPC server to run with an identity of interactive user". we did try the the steps in http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371618G-01/lvdschelp/config_local_opc_serv/ . However the The interactive user button was disabled under NI OPC sever properties.
Is there something i have missed? Something that needs to be configured before going through that tutorial?
I run LabView 2011 on a 64 bit Win7P computer. The DSC module and the NI OPC Servers are installed and seem to work (when running the OPC examples ).
Thanks.

Hello AmritaNikhil,
Thanks for the post, I have a few questions for you about this issue.
What versions of NI OPC Servers are you using?
Is the server hosted on your local machine or on a remote machine?
Are you able to successfully connect NI OPC Servers and NI OPC Quick Client?
Have you been successful in using OPC IO Servers in the past or has this issue occurred since you have started your application?
Can you consistently reproduce this crash?
You can try to work around this issue by using Network Items rather than Project Items when creating bound variables in the Create Bound Variables window. Please try this option and let me know if you have any additional information about your application that may be helpful in solving this issue. In addition, I have also included a link to a similar post. Hope this helps!

Safari crashes when using the dialog box to import/save files, in facebook under windows 7

I've encountered the following errors in some PCs, running Safari 5.1.7 in MS-Windows 7 Pro:
Safari crashes when using the dialog box to import/save files. One doesn't have to actually upload or download any file, the mere invocation of the relevant dialog box brings down all open Safari windows after a couple of seconds.

All PCs are fully up-to-date as it regards Microsoft and Apple patches. Any ideas as to why this might happen?

Still having the same problem. Ever the optimist, I submit the following info.
