Indesign CS3 error on start up

Indesign CS3 on startup up reports a Java Script error- number 45 line 387. Had previously been working fine. Also works ok in other user accounts on my mac. I have tried trashing preferences, renaming recovery data, using clean up tool and then re-installing whole CS3, but the still still remains. Any advice/ help?

Hm, your "Date Modified" entries suggest you did a clean install of CS3 yesterday…
Sorry, cannot help any further…
Do you have issues other than the error message?
Maybe menu entries missing in the area "XML…", "XHTLM/Dreamweaver…" or "XHTL/Digital Editions"…?
These are the ones that are Flash-based and are loaded as Startup Scripts.

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.

InDesign CS3 crashes on start up, using Tiger

i recently installed InDesign CS3 on my machine, and it unexpectedly quits whenever i try to start it. it starts up fine in safe mode. I did the following already, getting this information from the InDesign support page:
When you start Adobe InDesign CS3 or Adobe InCopy CS3 on Mac OS, the application crashes, freezes, or quits with one of the following error messages:
"The application Adobe InDesign has unexpectedly quit."
"The application Adobe InCopy has unexpectedly quit."
Solution
Do one or more of the following solutions:
Solution 1: Delete all Adobefnt10.lst files.
Solution 2: Troubleshoot fonts by disabling a few at a time.
Solution 4: Disable the Font Agent plug-in.
Solution 5: Start the application in Safe mode and disable Font Preview.
is there anything else i should try before calling it quits? thanks.

Delete InDesign preferences.
Check if you have any damaged fonts.
Repair permissions.
Make sure you are fully updated to the latest version of InDesign CS3, which 5.0.2.
Make sure your Tiger is updated to 10.4.11.
Make sure you have read & write permissions to your own user/your username/preferences folder.
Make sure you have read & write permissions to the Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe folder.

Indesign CS3 - Error Code: 4

I am trying to open an Indesign CS3 file, but every time it crashes Indesign. I tried opening a copy and I get an Error Code: 4. I am running 10.5.6.
It is an important file so I would like to recover the file if possible.

Not sure if this helps but this is what worked for me.

Indesign CS3 error: "Network connection was lost..."

Hi
Anybody out there experiencing this error message when working in Indesign on Snow leopard? "Network connection was lost..."
Funny thing is the machine is not connected to a server or internet.
The indesign doc had been fine, saved it, closed it, reopened it and exported a pdf. When I went to re-open it, the error came.
Now, I read online that there have been issues with renaming docs, or folders, possibly with relocating them. Someone else suggested it may be a registry problem.
This problem is NOT fixed by trashing preferences or by repairing permissions or disk.
Thanks!

Hello Studio Guy,
I was just searching the forums to see if anyone else was experiencing the 'network connection was lost' issue from InDesign CS3 and came across your note.
Did you manage to find a solution for this?
We work on a network on PCs using Vista and we are getting this error message regularly and have no idea why.
Like you say this problem is NOT fixed by trashing preferences or by repairing permissions or disk.
Did you find a solution?
cheers,

Missing Required Parameter 'from' for event 'open' -- InDesign CS3 Error

Now that I've upgraded to OS 10.6, and I'm getting this weird error message (Missing Required Parameter 'from' for event 'open') when I open CERTAIN InDesign files by double-clicking on the icon. Other files open okay. Everything SEEMS to open okay when I open CS3 and go to FILE and OPEN.
Anyone else having this problem? Any advice?

I was having this problem too and then noticed that the files that would not open had special characters in the name, # or % for example.
I changed the name to exclude these characters and they all opened just fine.
If that doesn't work, it may be, if you use it, Suitcase Fusion. Extensis says that if your computer name is too long or also has special characters in it that it could be a problem in OSX 10.5 and later. Go into System Preferences/Sharing and edit your name to within 20 simple characters.
I hope this helps.

InDesign CS3 crashes when I try to insert a new page

I'm working on a document that is currently 70+ pages in InDesign CS3, and whenever I try to add a new page (regardless of where I try to add the new page at within the document), InDesign crashes. I haven't experienced this issue with any other documents. After not having worked on this document for several days, I was able to insert 2 new pages today before the issue started again. I've done several searches on the Adobe forums, and I haven't come across anyone who seems to experience this same problem. But if anyone has, or has a suggestion for me to try, I would really appreciate it, as this document needs to grow to 100 pages, meaning I really need the ability to insert pages!!
Computer: Mac OS X, 10.5.8, Dual 2.3 GHz PowerPC G5
Software: InDesign CS3
Error Message: InDesign has unexpectedly quit. A crash report has been generated....

Thanks, Peter. The problem still persisted through a new indd file created from an exported inx file though. I was able to work around the issue by setting my document to 100 pages in Document Settings. That added enough extra pages at the end of the document which I can then move to other locations within the document.

Restrictions apply to copying Font Software -- Indesign CS3

Receive Indesign CS3 Error " Restrictions apply to copying font software for use by a service provider. You are required to comply with applicable copyright law and the terms of your license agreement. For font software licensed from adobe , your agreement provides that you may take a copy of the fonts you have used for a particular file to a commercial printer or other service provider , and the provider may use the fonts to process your file, provided the provider has informed you that it has the right to use that particular software . For other font software , please obtain permission from from your vendor "
Please provide me a solution for this error............

What Ken said, mostly. It says if the fonts are from Adobe you may give them to the printer to be used for printing your job provided that the printer has a license for those fonts, but that if you use fonts from other vendors the rules may be different.
Generally speaking, it is a violation of most font EULAs to give the font to a service provider unless they have a license for that font. Generally speaking this is also generally ignored by most users and many providers, making it probably the biggest violation of software licensing on planet Earth.
This problem is avoided by using a PDF workflow and embedding fonts with the appropriate permission to allow embedding for output. Fonts without that permission are not worth owning.

Error message when opening Indesign CS3

After using Indesign CS3 without trouble for several years, today I reloaded it onto a new PC (generally identical to the old; a little more powerful) but when starting it up, keep getting the message 'Error 45. Error String - Object invalid'. Reference is made to line 387 and then line 345. When a new document is opened, the programme just hangs. I have never experienced anything like this before.
I have removed the programme from the system (Win 7) and reinstalled it but the error continues.
Any ideas?

My recollection is this is a Suitcase error. There was a thread about it here a few months ago, I believe, and I think an update to Suitcase fixed it.

Error message when installing Indesign CS3 trial. I need help ASAP

I have searched the forums and adobe.com and have tried everything that I saw. None of it worked for me. I have tried and tried to install Indesign CS3 trial. I keep getting the error message: Indesign has encountered a problem and must close.
I have windows XP and plenty of RAM. What can the problem be? I have done everything I can think of to do. I added more memory and did everything the forums said to try. I really need this for my class. I am getting behind. I cannot afford to buy the program. Please help!!!!!
Thank you,
Teddy

If you scroll down you'll see there's Windows info there, too. Aside from being sure the fonts are activated, you might try renaming the Sing folder, which should be in Program Files\Common\Adobe.
You could also try Help > Configure Plugins and disable the Sing.apln, but I don't know how you can get there if the program won't start. Maybe going to the Adobe InDesign CS3\Plug-Ins\Text folder and changing the name from SING.apln to SING.bak would do the trick.
If it's really the SING problem, that ought to fix it, but you won't be able to work with Oriental languages.

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.

InDesign CS3 crashes without error when opening any 2nd InDesign file

Issue: InDesign CS3 crashes without error and remains resident in memory if we have an InDesign file open and attempt to open a second InDesign file.
OS: Win XP SP2
InDesign Version: 5.0.2
Hardware: Dell Precision WorkStation T3400, 4 gigabytes of memory, Intel Core2 Quad processor Q6600
Details: No messages in the event viewer about the problem. We renamed the InDesign Defaults and the InDesign Saved Data file. We removed Creative Suite, restarted and then reinstalled Creative Suite (I could not remove and reinstall InDesign individually). We have created a new Windows profile for this user. I have one computer having the trouble. Other InDesign installations are working fine. This computer has 559 files in C:\windows\fonts. Other people that are not having the problem have a larger number of fonts installed.
The issue is not file specific. We are not running out of memory as I checked the task manager after the first InDesign document is open.
Why is opening a second document different than opening the first document?

Hello Peter and Josh,
I'd just like to assert that I am having the exact same problem as Josh. I've spent the time to go through the steps listed above and have found the same results.
The issue as we see it multiple times daily is as follows:
(1) User opens File1 (everything works fine)
(2) User goes to open File2 (via explorer or via file->open) or print File1
(3) The User Interface for ID disappears (InDesign.exe still appears in Task Manager and is NOT listed as "Not Responding", ID does not appear in the Task Bar)
(4) The only way to continue work is to End Task/End Process InDesign.exe and relaunch.
No error messages appear, no error logs are created(that I can find). Non-related concerns caused us to upgrade this users PC. With a completely new install we are still having the problems. The systems are listed as follows:
OS: Win XP SP2 (fully updated minus SP3)
InDesign Version: 5.0.2
Newest Hardware: Custom Built Computer, 4GB RAM installed (3.24 recognized by windows), Intel Core2 Quad processor Q6600 @ 2.4Ghz
OS: Win XP SP2 (fully updated minus SP3)
InDesign Version: 5.0.2
Older Hardware: Custom Built Computer, Intel D945GTP Motherboard, 2GB RAM installed, Intel Pentium D processor @ 2.8Ghz
Troubleshooting:
(1) Alt+Space and M then using arrow keys moves every other window the user had opened other than In-Design. The user has two monitors. (a) 1280x1024 and (b) 1200x1600 (yes she uses the monitor rotated 90 degrees
(2) Log files - Non exist in the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS3 folder. I've also done a search across the entire hard drive for any "*.log" files, none of which were adobe related.
(3) Default Printer - Changing the default printer to Adobe PDF is not really an option. I was able to convince the user to temporarily switch to a different networked printer and await the results (most likely today or tomorrow it should recreate)
(4) /3GB switch - Getting that last 700 something MB of memory isn't an issue. I've run MemTest.exe on all the available system memory overnight in a "burn in" test. The system ran fine the sticks were nice and warm when I got in from all the hard work :)
(5) Order of Opening - The problem repeates regardless of order. The trick seems to be opening File2 or printing File1 (I had the user only work on one file at a time (required her to close any open files before opening the next, that wasn't fun for my user but the system didn't crash on opening in this scenario, just on printing. Obviously not a permanent work around)
Any help here would be much appreciated as this has been plaguing us for months now.

App Error msvcr80.dll Adobe InDesign CS3,4,5

We produce a a third party plug-in for use in InDesign CS3,4, and 5. The plug-in works fine for several thousand people, but there are a small number that continually get the following Event ID 1000 error whenever they try to launch our plug-in: "Faulting application indesign.exe, version <version number>, faulting module msvcr80.dll." The Event ID generates after CS3,4 or 5 crashes. These machines are typically windows XP SP3 on recent hardware running Intel processors and 2 gig of RAM.
A complete reinstall from the Adobe hard media and re-install of our plug-in may work for a while, but then the issue will begin to appear again after several days or weeks. The error doesn't always occur if different people use the same workstation, but at some point it will eventually begin to happen to each user.
I am not looking to point any fingers but am trying to figure out what to fix or where to go next. The plugin may be a trigger for this crash, but we don't believe it's the plug-in that is the problem. Too many are using it without ever getting an error.
Has anyone else experienced anything similar? Is it possible it's an issue with user profiles? Antivirus? etc.?

Did you also install any new fonts? That looks like a font error.
