Indesign CS3 & 10.6.2 server: file corruption

Hi All,
I'm having problems with one of our customer's setup. They're experiencing some sort of file corruption on Indesign CS3 files. These files are worked on by students in classrooms. At random, files won't open anymore in Indesign CS3 (or in CS4),so they need to start all over again. At first, file corruption occured seldom, but in the last few days I get too many reports. So I definately think something is at hand here.
The students log in to their network home folders. Client and server(s) are mac os x 10.6.2.
Clients / servers are fresh installed last x-mas. 2 fileservers (1 classroom, 1 homedirectory), 1 dedicated od server, 700 students, 45 classes. Both fileservers are new iron.
Before this, I had the same setup in 10.4.11, and this worked flawlessly for almost two years. So I know I can work with this setup over a network.
Before I start suspecting (and swapping) hardware, does anyone have pointers where to look or tests I could do?
Much appreciated.
Edgar

Well, going back to 10.4 is not an option. The previous servers (PPC G5 xserves) running the 10.4 setup have been sold. Current hardware was delivered with only 10.6 software so that rules out switching back to 10.5 as well.
You mention ACL's. I could dive into that. Since 10.5 Apple introduced default ACL's for the spotlight indexing process. The share is rather simple, it uses mainly posix permissions because it contains the homedirectories. In that perspective, the only change (besides a new afp stack) is the spotlight ACL. I could remove it, spotlight isn't running on that share.
I don't think I can switch to SMB for the user homedir stuff. If it was a normal data share it wouldn't be a problem.
Seems I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place..

InDesign CS3 crashes upon opening a file from Snow Leopard

Hello all. I'm desparately hoping someone can help me with this issue as I've spent the better part of my weekend working on two important files for work and would hate to start over.
I've been working at home in InDesign CS3. My home computer has Snow Leopard 10.6.2. I don't have any font managmenet plug-ins or programs other than Font Book. I started two new files and when I took them to work, both files crash InDesign upon opening. I don't get to open InDesign at all. My work computer has InDesign CS3 as well running Tiger 10.4.11. It is running Suitcase Fusion, which I've tried disabling and then trying to open the file to no avail. I've started the computer in safe mode to try and open the file, deleted preferences, disabled all fonts on the computer, repaired preferences, any and all suggestions listed on these forums and the rest of the internet. All of these solutions were met without success.
All files are stored on a portable hard drive. However, there are files on the drive that were created on the work computer that still open fine so I know the drive is a non-issue.
After InDesign crashes, I'll restart it just by clicking the program icon (not by double-clicking my file or dragging the file to InDesign) and it will crash all by itself. When I restart it again, it asks to repair the file that crashed it. Saying 'YES' crashes the program again.
This is a problem that just arose this morning and I have yet been able to go back home to try and open the files on my home computer. I'm praying my work computer did not corrupt the files somehow.
I'm hoping there is someone out there who can help me?

I understand what you're saying regarding removeable media. I'm tying this message from home with much frustration. I copied the file off the drive onto my desktop, ejected the hard drive, and I get the same crash error:
"The application InDesign has unexpectedly quit. A crash report has been generated. To provide us with the best chance of fixing this problem, please select Continue to add a detailed description that includes the steps required to reproduce the crash. Adobe will use this crash report to help find a future solution to this problem."
I believe this might be relegated strictly to InDesign as a Photoshop file that was created from scratch, edited, and saved on the same hard drive next to the InDesign file opened perfectly.
I would love the opportunity to send you this file to see if you can open it on your system. I have a YouSendIt account if that works best.

InDesign CS3: Problem in creating assignment files through API.

I had written some code for InDesign CS2 that allows user to
create an empty Assignment file,export any selected pageitem and add to the Assignment,save the assignment.
Now I have ported the same code for InDesign CS3 by following porting guidelines.
I am facing an issue in saving the article. When any page item is exported and added to the assignment, the exported file name displayed under the newly created assignment in Assignments Palette of InDesign. But when i save the assignment the exported file is moved into UnAssigned InCopy Content in the palette.
Also the final InCopy file doesnot contain link to exported page item file(.incx).
I am using the following API in my code,
void ExportStoryAndCreateLink(const UIDRef & story,const IDFile & file,
const FileTypeInfoID & fileTypeID
) [virtual]
Please post in this thread if any one has come across this issue.
Thanks in advance,

Hi vivek,
Have you tried adding the same document with the client ?
OACT is the accounts table and this error message typically indicates that there is an account parameter missing somewhere in the system.
Possible causes include:
- you are using a tax group or warehouse which does not have all the required accounts set
- There is a price rounding and the rounding price account has not been set in the account settings
- etc.
The first things I would check include the tax group settings and the G/L Account determination settings.

3.8.0 Master Server file corruption

We had two of three drives fail on the master server and it resulted in file corruption and is unrecoverable. We have a slave server with users who haven't been able to login because they rely on the master to redirect the client. I've had to rebuild a replacement master server from scratch using the same name, IP, settings, etc. Naturally, the replacement master is unaware of the old slave. Can I re-run simias config on the slave to make the replacement master aware without impact to the data & accounts already on the slave?
Thanks,
fdiaz

No, you cannot do this.

InDesign CS3 crashes when importing multiple files.

I've got a new box that's been running pretty solid for several weeks now. It's Win 7 with 8 gigs. Just last night it starts crashing when I'm importing multiple files. Doesn't matter if it's JPGs, TIFFs, or PDFs.
I can import all the same files one by one using the place command.
Importing multiples using the place command or dragging & dropping crashes.
It's not a case of placing a PDF using the bleed box and no bleed box is set. And that usually doesn't crash InDesign, just fails to import.
I deleted the preferences file to no avail.
CS 5.5 has no problems. No, I can't just use 5.5. I'm the only person with it and really only use it for converting files for customers that don't have the common sense to send a PDF. Other people in the shop have to be able to open these same files.
Any ideas? This is already a pain since one of my main jobs is ganging business cards 72 up on a sheet.
Thanks,
Mike

Opening InDesign CS3 documents in CS4

I am hoping someone from Adobe can help me with this question. Here is the scenario:
I work on the support team in a prepress environment where we get hundreds of client supplied InDesign files weekly. Some clients supply their files in InDesign CS3 and some supply the files in InDesign CS4. We have both applications.
From our experience, we have found that if we open a InDesign CS3 document using InDesign CS4, there is a potential for items to disappear in the document. I don't know what changed from 3 to 4 to cause this problem. This has happened to us more than one time and we have experienced money losses due to on press errors.
One would say, as we have, if the document is supplied in InDesign CS3, work on it in InDesign CS3. Easy enough, right?
Well, not really. If you have CS3 and CS4 both installed on your mac at the same time, simply double-clicking on the file will default to CS4 (since it is newer).
We have told our operators that they need to identify what version the file was created in; which is not the easiest thing either.
If you "get info" on the file, you do not get accurate information. It may say "CS4", even if it is "CS3", I think this is because your system is reading what the newest application that you have install is.
I have found that by dragging the file over the CS3 icon in the doc, it will attempt to open the file in CS3 and if it truly is a CS4 document, you will get plugin errors and the file won't open. This works, but my 38 mac operators are so used to just double-clicking a file to open it, they sometimes forget to do it my way, and thats when we get errors.
Is there a plugin available that would prompt you, when double -clicking on a file as to what version it is, or what version InDesign that you would like to open the file in?
What did Adobe change in InDesign CS4 that would cause items to disappear or change when working on CS3 documents in CS4?
Thank you in advance.

First, this is a user forum, not an official Adobe support site, so you aren't talking to Adobe employees for the most part.
Second, though it is subtle, there is a visible difference between the icons for file created in CS3 and CS4, but you do need to look.
There is (or perhaps it's now "was") a known issue with master items disappearing when placing one ID file into another in CS4. Be sure your copies are updated to the latest patch. Another reason to avoid opening CS3 files in CS4 is potential differences in text flow due to text engine differences which will affect how lines break.
If you want to train your people in a hurry, tell them the next time you have to re-run a job because they opened it in the wrong version you'll deduct the cost from their pay.

InDesign CS3 Graphic Problem

Hello,
I'm using Adobe InDesign CS3 and I used it to create a logo. I'm trying to post the logo as a header on a blog, but when I post it the quality is considerably poor. The only kind of upload the blog will accept is JPEG... but the highest quality JPEG I export (2400 ppi, progressive) won't upload because it's too large. The other levels of quality don't seem to make a difference after the JPEG is upload it all looks the same. What kind of file should I export for it to look high quality on the site? Thanks in advance.

Gene Neptune: Indesign CS3
Have created two huge files for banners (45x102") Each file has four 350dpi images that are sized and placed identically on both files. The rest of the graphics on each are basically identical.
One of the files is 15.42MB and the other is 6.34MB. What could be wrong?
In attempting to analyze this, I began deleting graphics, image frames, text frames, everything from the pasteboard until there was nothing left. The file size still shows 15.42MB. I taketh away but the file size stayeth the sameth. WTF

InDesign CS3 will not open double-clicked files on server (10.5)

I've got an odd one here. I have two new 10.6 machines running InDesign CS3, and a simple file server running 10.5.6.
When we open an InDesign file on the server using the "File Open" dialog box, the files open fine. If we navigate to a folder on server from the Finder and try to double-click on the file, it will launch ID if not open, but not open the file. It looks like it would open, but does not.
Does anyone have an idea why this might be happening? It would sure be easier for the kids to open files that way.

I have this issue also. InDesign [CS4] begins to start up, the "initializing..." label appears, then it immediately quits. Started after I had to revert back to 10.7.3 from 10.7.4 due to frequent and incessant kernel panics in 7.4. I tried uninstalling all CS4 apps (using the CS4 uninstall tool), then ran Adobe Cleaner Tool, then did a clean install of CS4 (Design Premium), including a fresh input of the serial number. All other CS4 apps open normally.
Interestingly, upon your suggestion, I created a new user account, then tried to open InDesign there. It opened normally, so at least I can use it in the "Test Account" I created. Any suggestions on how to get it to work in my account?

Error Installing InDesign CS3 Server on Windows Server 2008 R2 64BIT

Hello there-
I'm trying to install InDesign CS3 Server on Windows Server 2008 R2 64BIT (x64) Edition, however, we get a failure indication on the installer. Before, we have installed it properly on Windows Server 2008 R2 32BIT (x32) but some how we cannot proceed on a x64 box.
Is there any limitation on this sense? Any documentation about it?
Thanks and appreciate your answers.

Note: There is a File Upload limitation in IIS 7 on Windows 2008 Server, IIS will reject any file that is
larger than 30 MB. This is a default limitation of IIS. You can increase the maximum file size by
setting the parameter maxAllowedContentLength in the file ApplicationHost.config.
The following command can be used to set the parameter from the command prompt, please
change the directory to Windows\System32\inetserv and then execute the command.
appcmd setconfig /section:requestFiltering/requestLimits.maxAllowedContentLength:150000000
The value is only an example, in this case the upload limit is set to 150MB.Server has to be restarted
after execution of this command.
Also, are you using Maxdb to store the files or is it a "flat files" content server ?
HTH.

InDesign tries, but doesn't open files on server.

When using a finder window to open CS3 and CS4 InDesign files from our server, I get the opening effect but not the open file. I'm using Snow Leopard on a Mac. Double-clicking will not work, dragging the file into the application icon will not work, only the File > Open menu does the trick and opens the file. Note: double-clicking and dragging into the app icon does work for local files. Any fixes for the server file issue? Thanks!

i have this problem too at random, i click on the indesign cs4 file in the snow leopard finder, indesign actually makes that temporary whatever it is in the finder but the layout pages don't open. my workaround is to quit indesign and start again and this usually works. but i am wondering if there is any other solution? when the file doesn't open it doesn't help to try to open it through the file menu. so i just quit and start again. (this may be a feature of indesign since sometimes at random the font sizing buttons don't work.)

How to restore broken links after server migration in Indesign CS3???

Hi All,
I have used my google skills to no avail and everything I have read here has been a dead end for me. I can't be the only person in this situation, so hopefully someone can help!
My marketing department has reached the storage limits of our shared network drive. Located on this drive is our (HUGE) image library which acts as a single central respository serving up our indesign links (read here: we don't package files - to conserve space). We have decided that in an effort to create a true archive and have more space for our image library we need to migrate the library to a new 16 terabit Drobo (yay!).
The problem is that every INDD file that links to the current library will now suffer from broken links. We literally have hundreds of INDD files and thousands of links. The good news is...the file structure isn't changing at all! Just the server location is changing. Is there any way to to a batch update of the links that tells INDD to look for the exact same file path on a different drive?
In short:
current image library (old server): marketing/image library/photos/products/multiple product folders
new image library (new server): drobo/image library/photos/products/multiple product folders
I want to point InDesign to the new server and have it pick up the file path without having to navigate to each and every file individually. Voila!
Is this even possible? Is there any 3rd party software to help? Other architechture solutions that might be suggested?
Thanks so much for the help!

You can specify a platform-specific path name, or a path in a platform-independent format known as universal resource identifier (URI) notation, or Mac OS 9 path name (for Mac).
For example any of the following notations are valid:
Windows
c:\dir\file (Windows path name)
/c/dir/file (URI path name)
//10.44.54.70/Test/images (uniform naming convention (UNC) path name of the form //servername/sharename)
//Apple/Test/images
\\10.44.54.70\Test\images (Windows path name)
\\Apple\Test\images (Windows path name)
where 10.44.54.70 IP address of the server, Apple -- DNS name of the server, Test -- share name
Mac
The following examples assume that the startup volume is MacOSX, and that there is a mounted volume Remote.
/dir/file (Mac OS X path name)
/MacOSX/dir/file (URI path name)
MacOSX:dir:file (Mac OS 9 path name)
/Remote/dir/file (URI path name)
Remote:dir:file (Mac OS 9 path name)
Remote/dir/file (Mac OS X path name)
You can just copy a part of the path in Links panel and paste it to the script's dialog. In CS4, make sure to choose "Copy Platform Style Path" in context menu.
The case of the characters doesn’t matter: you can type both in upper and lowercase in the script's dialog. For example — Test, test, TEST, TeSt — are all the same for the script.

CS3:Problem in generating .ps file for an indesign document.

Hello,
I have ported a plug-in built for InDesign server CS2 to CS3.
Generating ".ps" file is one of the functionality of my plug-in.
But for the given document InDesign CS3 server Debug generated the following asserts in the server log.
[21/05/2008 22:21:50] ~InstanceList(): 1 outstanding references to UID 2 (Class kRIDXBoss).
[21/05/2008 22:21:50] ~InstanceList(): 1 outstanding references to UID 216 (Class kAssignmentBoss).

[21/05/2008 22:21:50] ~InstanceList(): 1 outstanding references to UID 1 (Class kDocBoss).
I have debugged the code and found that the following API is causing these asserts.
IPrintSetupProvider::StartPrintPub( bool16 & bReturn,
IDocument * iDoc,
UIDRef & styleUIDRef,
IPrintCmdData::PrintUIOptions & printPubUIOpt,
IInkList * iInkList,
ITrapStyleListMgr * iTrapListMgr
when i shutdown the InDesign server got crashed.
Can any one of you describe in detail the functionality of this API.
I will be thankful if any one you can give some idea on how to resolve this issue.
Thanks,

Sorry I think I didn't use the right terminology, somehow I want to include/link the file (not with menu item 'place') programmatically in my current open Indesign document, then I expect to see the filename in Link palette. I can do this with linking to a page item in doc but I don't want to assign it to a particular page item, rather I want to assign it to doc. Is any approach to do it?
Thanks again,
Mor

[IDS CS3]A Bug of InDesign CS3 Server?

Hi, all
I'm using SOAP to run InDesign CS3 Server scripts, and I found TestClient doesn't work with option "-server". When I want to run a file on the server machine, it always returns an error number 44 to me.
My same tests on InDesign CS2 Server work fine, so I think it maybe a bug of InDesign CS3 server.
Anybody also working on InDesign CS3 Server? Thanks very much!
Nicole

I am using InDesign CS3 Server and testclient.
I can use -server parameter with testclient, it works fine.
I don't know why you cannot.

Can't read PageMaker 6.5 files with InDesign CS3

I have a lot of old PageMaker 6.5 files that need to be upgraded to InDesign.
When I try to open them in InDesign CS3, I get an error that says:
Cannot open the file "XYZ". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application.
I get this error on a Mac Pro G5 (PowerPC), running OS X 10.5.8.
What's interesting is that when I try to open the same files on other computers on the network, it works just fine. The other machines are all Intel Macs, running OS X 10.6.8 or greater. The files are on a Mac Server.
Can this problem be fixed on the Mac G5, maybe by installing a plugin, or is there no hope?
Thanks!

Interesting thought, but I suspect the file is actually a training manual and that's the real name of the file, with no extension at all. Pagemaker 6.5 files would have had a .p65 extension, I believe.

Has anybody got another suggestion for this please? I am experiencing the same problem.
I am Using:
Mac Pro Intel 2 x Quad 2.8Ghz
OS 10.5.8
Adobe InDesign CS3 (5.0.4)
Suitcase 11.0.5.1
The troubleshooting I have done so far:
Updated Suitcase.
Reset suitcase, deleted font caches, re-synced with server.
Updated InDesign.
Deleted and reset InDesign preference files.
Re-saved the problematic documents by selecting 'Save As.'
Finally, I copied and pasted the text and graphics into a new document which seamed to work for a few minutes but then I was back to the same problem of not being able to edit the size of the text etc
