InDesign CS2 Setting up a new document

When opening a new document how do you get three pages to view in the page layout? (For instance when creating a six page folder.)

In the pages panel, disable allow pages to shuffle. Then just drag the
pages to the spread you want them to be part of.
It's a bit tricky but you'll get the hang of it.

  • InDesign CS5 Not Responding When New Document is Opened

    My InDesign immediately freezes and stops responding after I open a new document and move the cursor. The pinwheel appears and then eventually I have to force quit because it won't come back. I've never produced anything on this version of InDesign before -- I've opened it maybe twice since I installed the master collection last month. I'm using a 2010 macbook pro 15" with plenty of disk space. I uninstalled InDesign and then reinstalled it -- same problem. I removed the preferences and nothing worked. I have a huge project that needs to be done tonight and I am useless without InDesign! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    This is exactly what is happening to me.
    "What OS are you using? Did this laptop come with Snow Leopard preinstalled, or did you install it yourself? Or are you still running 10.5? People who install 10.6 on top of 10.5 often report strange issues that are hard (or impossible) to track down and fix."
    I'm using Snow Leopard, OS X 10.6.4, which came preinstalled.
    It's a brand new mac so I have enough space and RAM. I already uninstalled the whole suite 3 times and reinstalled it. InDesign still crashes. Then I went a step further and installed my friend's adobe suite with my serial number. The InDesign still crashed. So it must be my computer? I took it to a department tech at my college and he wants to wipe the harddrive clean and see if that helps. But I'm really anxious to do that and want it to be a last resort...

  • How do I set up new Document Profile with custom page sizes?

    I see that different profiles have different sets of page sizes. I need a set of page sizes which I use often, and I would like to create a set of these sizes in a new profile, or at least somehow add them to the very minimal set of page sizes which can be selected when setting up a new document. Can this be done?

    Thanks Jerron, I have done this but it only adds one document at one size to the list of presets. The list of sizes that comes with it is the same as the preset it was created from originally. What I would like to do is add to the list of sizes which comes with any one of the document presets or create a new one with a new list of sizes.

  • Bizarre image load problem in InDesign CS2

    Hi, I am having a problem with bringing in some images into InDesign CS2. I have a document file that has many images in place, and I just received some new images that are screenshots from video. They are saved as rgb jpgs. They are 2700x1963 pixels and 300dpi (so someone obviously did some conversion from screen res.)
    When I try to bring them into an image box in InDesign, I do command D, then select the image. It acts like its loading it but then nothing is in the box. I thought perhaps the image was just hidden outside of the edge of the box but when I go to "fitting" under the "OBJECT" menu, all the options are greyed out as if there is no image there. It also shows no image linked in the links panel.
    I tried opening in photoshop and resaving, and also tried resaving as another name. I tried changing it to cmyk and adjusting the levels and resaving as tif. I tried making a new photoshop file and copy-and=pasting the image into it and saving. Still, no image will load in the image box.
    I feel like the images must have corrupted since they were sent to me as email attachments, but its so odd that they open in photoshop just fine. Any ideas?

    nevermind, people.
    my computer was having memory overload. on a whim I restarted the computer.
    BAM...no issue.

  • "New Document" button on ribbon not working in the "Master Page Gallery" in Internet Explorer 10 & 11

    I'm trying to add a "JavaScript Display Template" to my "Master Page Gallery" but when I click on the "New Document" button and select "JavaScript Display Template" it opens the "Add a master page" dialog
    and prompts me to upload a file.  I've ran into this problem with "Compatibility View" set to both "On" or "Off".  I'm able to upload files but I can't get the new forms to show up.
    This happens on the root site collection site.  For subsites, the "New Document" button is completely grayed out.  
    FYI - I am a site collection admin and in the "Owners" group for each site.
    How can I fix this?

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that "New Document" button on ribbon falied to work in the "Master Page Gallery".
    In the root site, please make sure you enter all the necessary information when you upload file.
    In the other word, you need to make sure the save the “JavaScript Display Template" successfully.
    In the subsites, when you click the “Master Page” under Master Page Gallery in the sub site site setting page, the "New Document" button is completely grayed out.
    If you want to add the template, you need to active the “SharePoint Server Publishing” feature in the Site sitting->Manage site features.
    However, the “Master Page” under Master Page Gallery will become to “Master pages and page layouts”.
    If you click the Master pages and page layouts”, you will go to the
    Master Page Gallery of the root site, and then you can add Document.
    Thank you for your understanding.
    Thanks,

  • [CS4] Default new document profile

    Now here's a strange thing. I installed AI 14 on my laptop and set up a new
    Document Profile exactly as I had done on the G5. On the G5 when I request a
    new document it defaults to "Custom" albeit with the settings I had
    specified. On the laptop it defaults to my named New Document Profile. So why
    is the Profile name not displaying on the G5? Mystery. In a minute someone's
    going to advise me to trash the preferences!

  • How to setup new document for Desktop Wallpaper

    hi all
    new to the forums here...
    i'm making a desktop wallpaper to display an announcement for my graphic design department at school, and i'm wanting to know the best way to set up the new document in PS CS4. i'm using the resolutions found under syst prefs > display prefs, just plugging those numbers into the new document setup for width and height. my question is what resolution i should use for a clean and sharp wallpaper, and should i just accept the default settings for color mode, color profile, and pixel aspect ratio.
    FYI: right now i'm working on an  20" Intel iMac. models at school include 17" iMac G5's or early Intel iMacs, 20" and 24" aluminum Intel iMacs.
    thanks in advance,
    daniel

    "my question is what resolution i should use for a clean and sharp wallpaper, and should i just accept the default settings for color mode, color profile, and pixel aspect ratio."
    The resolution is irrelevant - pixel dimensions are all that matter. For instance, if the target desktop dimensions are 1920x1200 pixels, it doesn't matter if the resolution is 72 ppi or 300 ppi. Color mode should be RGB, profile should be sRGB and use square pixels.

  • Indesign CS2 "selection to new document" script?

    Hi, just changing over to Indesign CS2 (i know! should be cs5 soon apparently), and noticed the scripting seems to be quite powerful with this software, i dont suppose anybody has created a script that would paste the currently selected object into a new document?  Would be handy when we're making templates for a self-build system to make it all on one document, then paste the various size boxes onto new documents ready to configure and upload!

    Alison, you just have a minor omission… You have not declared your object to dupe… This worked with a little tweek…
    --make a new document from selection
    tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5"
    set mySelection to selection
    if (count of mySelection) = 0 then
    display dialog "Nothing selected." & return & ¬
    "Select something and then run the script." buttons {"OK"} cancel button {"OK"}
    end if
    set openDoc to document 1
    tell openDoc
    --make group in order to get width/height of selection
    if (count of mySelection) > 1 then
    set myItem to make group with properties ¬
    {group itemsmySelection)}
    else
    set myItem to item 1 of selection
    end if
    set theBounds to geometric bounds of myItem
    set theHeight to (item 3 of theBounds) - (item 1 of theBounds)
    set theWidth to (item 4 of theBounds) - (item 2 of theBounds)
    end tell
    --make new document sized to the width/height of the selection
    set myDoc to make new document with properties ¬
    {document preferences:{page width:theWidth, page height:theHeight}}
    --duplicate selection to new document
    tell openDoc
    set myDupe to duplicate myItem to page 1 of myDoc
    --undo the grouping so selection is unchanged
    undo
    end tell
    --re-posistion in new size doc
    tell myDoc
    move myDupe to {0, 0}
    end tell

  • InDesign CS2 - 100 document limit and compatibility with newer versions

    Hello,
    I have Adobe InDesign CS2 and am using it to compile a large report. I have come across a problem once i tried to add more than 100 documents to my book and now see there is a 100 file limit to books in CS2. Each document needs to stay as a single file so i am unable to join files to overcome this problem.
    I have a summary table at the beginning of the document detailing the title of each file in the book. I am unable to work out how to create page hyperlinks in the pdf to the second book (documents over the 100 mark).
    It has since come to fruition that my company has updates to CS3 and CS5 and that these new versions do not have a 100 file limit in creating books. This document i am creating is over 400 pages long so i am wary of upgrading to a new version when i am not far from publishing.
    Should i have any concerns in upgrading to a new version of InDesign when i have almost finished my report? Would it be better to just upgrade to CS3 and not make such a large jump to CS5? Or does anyone know how to create page hyperlinks in my pdf to the files contained in the second book?
    Thanks for any help! Much appreciated.

    Normally I would advise against changing versions in midstream on a project like this, but I'm not sure you have a choice. My instinct is there will be fewer issues moving to CS3 than CS5, but there are far more features in CS5 you might like to use...
    One way to limit the possible anomalies would be to export all the CS2 files to .inx na open those in CS5, rather than converting the .indd files directly, then save as new CS5 .indd files and add to a new book. One very serious issue you may run into wehn moving to a later version is that the text engines are updated and text won't necessarily flow exactly the same, particualry justified text, which can cause line endings to move and some paragraphs may gain or lose a line, which can have a really devastating effect on a long doc if it causes a page count to shift. The killer is that the changes normally don't happen until you start to edit text in that story. I believe the .inx route will force a recompose on opening, but I'm not dead certain, so take a look at http://indesignsecrets.com/force-text-reflow-when-indesign-forgets-to-flow-the-text.php to see how to force the recompose manually as soon as you open the file (you'd only need to do it once, before saving in the new version, for each file), then check carefully for oversets or other problems. Live preflight in CS5 can help with that.
    As you can tell, a successful move to a newer version is likely to be a lot of careful work preparing and checking the files. Some of it can be automated (the export to .inx, the recompose, and the save in the new version) by scripting, but in all honesty you're going to need to check every page when you are done.
    One of the others who uses Hyperlinks will need to weigh in on ID's native abilities and linking to other files in a book. I know that doing that with cross-references (which don't even exist natively prior to CS4) is extremely likely to break down at some point and leave you trying to remake them all, and large numbers of links across docs is likely to slow CS5 in particular to a crawl unless all files (at least the ones to which there are links in the doc you are editing) in the book are open.

  • Setting english as the default language for a new document with arabic version of CC apps

    first off, appologies for the screen name, the name i'm sure i had registered before with account was suppose dot be looged in as was barred, so i used this in frustration.  Read the book, The Etymologicon to learn more.
    and another note.  why is the font size in the subject on this form gigantic? intentional of cockup?
    Now, to the point.
    Please please enlighten me, I'm sure it's simple but i can't find the answer and have been haphazardly ploughing the net for half the night.
    I have installed the Arabic langauge version of CC software becuase i need to do a lot of bilingual layouts.
    But
    I generally use, and start with english, but the defualt new document is always set to all the arabic settings, which is a nightmare.
    How do i make english the defualt type (and all the paragraph and language options) while retaining the functionaility of arabic version. 
    I've found instructions for CS2-6 but nothing remotely sensible about CC, and presume i'm missing something really really obvious.

  • Issue in setting bleed to a document as InDesign CS5 Server plugin

    Hello all,
    I am creating a new document in InDesign CS5 Server through C++ Plugin and trying to set bleed to the document. I have used the command to set bleed. But it doesn't seem to apply properly. I check in the debug version also. It show success to the command but when I open the document there is no bleed applied. I am using following command.
    InterfacePtr<ICommand> pageSetupPrefsCmd(CmdUtils::CreateCommand(kSetPageSetupPrefsCmdBoss));
    if(pageSetupPrefsCmd == nil)
    CAlert::ErrorAlert("Error in SetDocumentBleed function, pageSetupPrefsCmd is nil.");
    break;
    InterfacePtr<IDocSetupCmdData> docSetupData(pageSetupPrefsCmd, IID_IDOCSETUPCMDDATA);
    if(docSetupData == nil)
    CAlert::ErrorAlert("Error in SetDocumentBleed function, docSetupData is nil.");
    break;
    pageSetupPrefsCmd->SetItemList(UIDList(m_pDocument));
    docSetupData->SetDocument(::GetUIDRef(m_pDocument));
    docSetupData->SetNPagesPerSpread(1);

    ErrorCode error = CmdUtils::ProcessCommand(pageSetupPrefsCmd);
    if (error == kFailure)

    Can some one please help me in letting me know what wrong I am doing in this command? This has become quiet critical for me.
    Thanks all in advance.

    Hello All,

  • Can't open new document or save a document in CS2

    I can open InDesign CS2. When I try to open a document the entire window grays out. To activite ID again I must hit Esc. If I go to my explorer and click on an ID file it will open, once open I can work in it but after working when I try to "save," "save as," or "save a copy" the entire window grays out and nothing is saved. I can hit Exc and I am able to work in the document again but still can't save it. If I try to exit out of a new doc it will give the message asking if I want to save but when I say yes it grays out.
    I am working on a Windows XP, CS2 4.0.5, 1.5Gb RAM

    This is a common problem discussed here. It's caused by the open or save dialog opening off-screen, and is most often associated with using multiple monitors.
    I suspect doing a search for "multiple monitor" or "freeze" will probably turn up a number of threads that have all of the suggested ways to try to bring the dialog into view.
