InDesign CS3 closes while working on jobs

I have a problem where my IDCS3 will just shut down. I then can not open Indesign again until I reboot my computer. Does anyone have a solution for this?
Thanks

Hello everyone,
This is an old discussion, but I hope someone can help me-I have the exact same problem. Does anyone know anything more about this problem?
Thank you,
Pam

  • Indesign CS3 closes when printing

    I have OS X Mountain Lion and Indesign CS3. When i send a file to print, indesign closes.
    Deleting the PPD files in /library/printers/PPDs/contents/resources solve the problem, for a while, less than a week, then, it crashes again.
    i found this link, so, do i need to upgrade to CS5? is there a way to solve this problem without upgrading?

    Not clear from your post if you are able to delete the PPD files again because they are being restored somehow, or if you can no longer print at all.
    There is practically no possibility that you will find a legitmate copy of CS5 available for purchase, so be very careful and be sure whoever is selling it guarantees that you can register and activate it, and that they are trustworthy. Many users don't realize that educational licenses cannot be transferred, and that any version used as part of an upgrade chain can only be transferred along with the rest of the chain, and that the transfer requires filinig a form at Adobe.
    The only options today on the regular market are CS6 perpetual license, for which I believe you would pay full price as there is no upgrade from CS3 any longer, or a Creative Cloud subscription. I believe your CS3 license would get you a discount for the first year. The subscription gets you both the CC versions released recently, and CS6 from the archive, which you may need. There are currently a few threads going here about problems users are facing with CC, but they don't affect everyone.

  • Hyperlinks that I create in InDesign CS3 don't work in the PDF

    I've created several hyperlinks in an InDesign CS3 file, using the Hyperlinks panel. But when I export to PDF format, the hyperlinks don't work. Even the ones that start with http:// or www. don't work. Is that just the way it is? Or am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks,
    Ellen

    Is there a button? I don't see anything saying "Hyperlinks" in the Export dialog box. I've attached an image of what I'm seeing.
    Thanks

  • InDesign CS3 error while starting a Javascript with a AppleScript

    Hello,
    I have a problem with InDesign CS3. An Apple Script controls in one end, a work flow, Indesign used JavaScript.
    These are the Indesign module libraries (Extended Script Editor 2) is called.
    Do I have these two scripts before, once opened, and with Indesign "linked" everything is running smoothly.
    But I'm not starting this JavaScript manually before, hangs Indesign and the Apple Script increases with a timeout.
    Is there a solution?
    Many greetings
    oli_lu

    as well as it looking like the routing device has DoS or SPI feature there is no Ping in the Log so it is possible it is alos not allowing Responses to Internet Pings.
    iChat sends a Ping so this also needs to be Disabled.

  • Cant print, indesign cs3 closes when print

    When i send a file to print, indesign closes. deleting the PPD files in /library/printers/PPDs/contents/resources solve the problem, for a while, 2 days max. then, it crashes again.
    i have mountain lion and cs3.
    is CS3 totally compatible whit mountain lion? or do i need to upgrade to cs5, cs6 ?

    I'm surprised you even managed to use ID CS3 on 10.8. Checking the Adobe site, they mention that CS3 and CS4 were not designed to work with 10.7, so this would also rule out 10.8.
    I am using CS6 (InDesign, Photoshop and Dreamweaver) on 10.8 and they all print fine.

  • Indesign CS3 crash while generating an PDF or deleting an index entry

    Indesign crashes when I will starting the PDF export. This happens in all Indesign documents which are converted from CS2 and with index entries. So I want to delete the index but Indesign crashes while deleting too. I tried to convert the files in .indx files but nothing changes. Indesign is still crashing.
    Indesign 5.0.2
    Mac OS X 10.5.3
    MacPro Identifier 3,1
    RAM: 4GB

    Hi. Im having the same problems and tried everything. Indesign crashes not just on Exporting, but also Import and Save As. It mostly works with no problem for days and then all the sudden crashes and cant fix it, then in about an hour starts working again, with the exact same document. It seems to me like the software cant find the path it created with the document. For example, if I press just SAVE, its saves with no problem, but when I choose SAVE AS, Indesign crashes after opening the communication window.
    I still have PowerBook, not MacBook Pro, and OS X 10.5.3, so I figured my computer cant handle the new system and CS3. Although Im not having any problems with Photoshop nor other CS3 software, just indesign.
    I would really appreciate some advice or response.

  • "MakeGrid" scripts in InDesign CS3 aren't working

    Hello -
    I have an interesting problem: most of my scripts stopped working last week. I don't know if I accidently hit some keyboard shortcut disabling things, or what. I have one java script ( add guides ) that still works but most of the others don't. I've tried resetting preferences but that hasn't worked. General, I know... but I thought maybe someone else had run into this too.
    thanks -

    I have a feeling the last script you ran turned off user interaction and didn't turn it back on when it finished.
    Try running this one-liner:
    //Dave Saunders
    //Resets script preference
    app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.interactWithAll;

  • InDesign CS3 - Default Black color issue

    Default Black color converted as Spot color in Indesign CS3.
    I'm using default color "Black" in InDesign CS3. While creating PS from InDesign CS3 and convert it as PDF using Distiller 7 & 8, it would have changed as "Spot Color Black" instead of color "Black(CMYK)".
    Open the swatch and duplicate the color "Black" and renamed as "C=0,M=0,Y=0,K=100". It would work properly. i.e. output PDF has CYMK black instead of Spot color.
    We are unable to find/change globally because the Default color [Black] has both text and object.
    We do not have any problem with this default black color in Indesign CS2.
    It would be better if you provide a solid solution for this issue immediately. I need to send a test file to the printer on tomorrow (05/27/09).
    I have attached Testing.pdf and screenshot for your reference.
    Picture 1 shows the Default Black color converted as Spot color.
    Picture 2 shows duplicate black color created from Default [Black] color and we don't find any issue.
    Thanks
    Johnson

    First, this is a user forum, so all you'll get here is advice, not a "solid solution" from Adobe.
    Second, the current versions of InDesign and Acrobat are 6 and 9, respectively, and there will never be any new patches issued for earlier versions. Adobe does not divert effort away from current development to patch old software.
    This has been discussed here in the past few months. You should be able to find the thread if you search for keywords like spot black. For what it's worth, Acrobat 9 Pro's preflight does not detect a spot black in your sample PDF (though Pitstop might).
    I'm curious why you feel the need to distill PDF rather than export (as I see you did with the file you posted)?

  • How to download InDesign CS3 Debug (non-Server version)

    I have downloaded and installed the InDesign CS3 SDK and can generate a Release build of a plug-in and get it to load and work in InDesign CS3, but as indicated in the doc, building the Debug configuration of a plug-in and trying to get it to work in the Release version of InDesign CS3 does not work. So, of course, I want to download and install InDesign CS3 Debug so that I can load and run the Debug configuration of plug-ins. But I cannot find a way to download InDesign CS3 Debug anywhere. I find a link for downloading InDesign CS3 Server Debug but not InDesign CS3 Debug (non-server version).
    Can someone point me to the InDesign CS3 Debug download?
    Thanks

  • Acrobat 9 pdf links not working from InDesign CS3. What is wrong?

    My links are working in my 40 page Indesign CS3 file using Mac. After I convert to a .pdf, some of the links are no longer going to the right location. They have either duplicated other links, or trying to take me incorrectly to my desktop or network. Can't figure out what is wrong.

    Links meant to  go to an outside website are supposed to be filled out in the following format : http://www.phillipmjones.net
    in Acrobat should look something like :  This is my personal website
    In Acrobat go go create you link then click on action:
    (I'm using my own personal website as an example)
    If you choose something else such as open a file then that is what it does.

  • Bookmakrs work inside InDesign CS3 but not in the PDF (Reader or Preview)

    I have a list of bookmarks set to specific pages. In InDesign they all lead to the correct pages but when viewing the PDF only two work right, the rest jumps to a different page. I checked the Bookmark description (hover over it in InDesign CS3) and they name the right page. What could I be doing wrong and why do some work? Thanks a lot!

  • What Mac operating systems work with Indesign CS3?

    What Mac operating system will work with Indesign CS3? I have 10.5.8 and need to upgrade to 10.7 so that my new laser printer will work with my Mac.
    If one buys a new Mac 10.8 or 10.9 will ID CS3 work?

    Maybe…maybe not. It certainly won’t be supported and under no circumstance should you use migration assistant to move it to a new machine. With that I can almost assure you it won’t work.

  • Photoshop cs3 crashed while i was working on a file...

    photoshop cs3 crashed while i was working on a file. i checked the temp folder and found a file that was modified the day it crashed. there is no extension and when i tried to open it in photoshop it said that it "could not complete my request because the file is in use or left open"... is my file hosed or is there a way to recover it? i was working on it for hours and like a dummy forgot to save it

    Josh,
    Someone had posted a link to such a program, as Mike mentioned. It was "supposed" to be able to dissect and restore from PS TMP files. I do not have a link, and also do not know the $, nor how effective this might be. I'd do a search of this forum, trying words like PS TMP, and the like. It was not THAT long ago. Again, have no experience with it (or any other TMP reclamation apps.). Might be worth a try.
    All other comments on doing various forms of Save/Save_As are good ones. I'd incorporate those into my workflow, if you have not already.
    You might want to look at Stellar-Phoenix for file recovery. Depending on where you were, when the crash happened, you might be able to locate your older
    b image
    file on your HDD - or, you might not. Stellar-Phoenix had a trial. Seems that it would scan your HDD, but only the paid version would recover, if found. See if it finds something of use. I'd also do this,
    b before
    anything else overwrites that/those sector(s) on your HDD . Probably not going to help, but you never know. Just to be clear, Stellar-Phoenix is a data recovery tool and is NOT a PS TMP file extractor.
    Sorry about your misfortune and good luck,

  • InDesign CS3: Only shortcut keys work

    Hi all, I need some help.
    I have a client who is running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit edition. He has Adobe InDesign CS3 which he purchased via the internet about 2 years ago now. The program has been installed since then.He has only today started to try to use the program.
    The program loads fine. He makes a new document fine. When he tries to click any buttons on the left (Text, Pencil, Select, etc) nothing happens! If he presses the keyboard shortcut (ie presses T for Text) it works fine. The buttons are not responding to the mouseclicks at all!
    Does anybody kow what might be causing this issue?
    I have disabled UAC, uninstalled, and reinstalled InDesign CS3 but the darn thing refuses to work as it should. I have run the program as Administrator and set it to XP + SP3 compatability mode. Still it refuses to work!
    Help please

    Thanks Bob. I will visit my client tomorrow and see if this works.
    My client has a higher than normal (150% I think) DPI because he is a bit sight impaired.
    If setting the DPI back to normal makes CS3 behave then he will have another issue because he won;t be able to see other things clearly.
    I wonder why Adobe cannot fix this interesting feature that their software has?
