InDesign CS3 - Save Window disappears

Hello- In InDesign CS 3.3 (and Photoshop) the 'Save As' or 'Export' windows flashes and then disappear when I try to open that option and then the program goes into a "freeze" mode as the window is "hidden", but I can not figure out how to make it come back to the front to execute the option.... Is there a solution to this?
Thank you

This was a common problem in CS3 with multiple monitors and monitor not run at the maximum resolution. There were a number of different solutions, none of which worked all the time, but usually one of them would work if you kept trying. I'd start by doing a search in this forum for multiple monitors and see what comes up. Use the special widget on the main discussion page, not the "search forums" box near the top.
Google is another good way to search and you might have good luch including more terms.

  • Indesign cs3 and windows 8.1

    I'm having trouble installing indesign cs3 with Windows 8.1.  The program says I need to upgrade screen resolution.  My lowest screen resolution is the minimum required.  I have the highest.  Any options or ideas for getting past this?

    I was able to get it running with Windows 8 (64-bit), but it did take a few tries, and I have not played with all the software yet.  I have used Photoshop and Illustrator successfully, and I've opened InDesign.  I remember having to copy a file off of the installation disk to my desktop and renaming it to "AdobePDF.dll" -- I think it had 64 in the original file name.  During the install, it said it could not find that file, and that trick worked.  (I only remember because that file is still on my desktop.)
    My question is: Has anyone who has CS3 running on Windows 8 upgraded to windows 8.1?
    My computer keeps asking me, but I don't want to break CS3. I don't use it a whole lot, but when I need it, I want it to work.
    Thank you for any replies!

  • No preview of images to place in InDesign CS3 under Windows XP x64

    Just got a new computer running on Windows XP Professional x64 and now I am unable to see images when I try to place them into an InDesign CS3 document like I could when using a 32-bit Windows XP. Am I doomed to never seeing them again or is there a fix floating around out there??!!? This problem occurrs in all of my Adobe CS3 products.

    XP 64 is totally unsupported. Only Vista is supported for 64 bit computing.
    That said if you can post a screenshot or two of what you're looking at perhaps we can spot something.

  • Indesign cs3 y Windows Vista

    Hola, me gustaría saber si alguien ha tenido el siguiente problema:
    Instalo Adobe Suite Cs3 en Windows XP y funciona sin poblemas. Lo instalo en Windows Vista y Indesign me aparece en inglés y además no funciona correctamente. El resto de las aplicaciones, hasta donde yo se, bien.
    Gracias por anticipado.

    He instalado el CS3 en mi computador, pero  a la hora de usarlo los botones están deshabilitados. Me ocurre con todos los programas, por ejemplo, en Indesign dibujo un cuadrado y el botón de cambiar de color lo veo pero no lo puedo utilizar porque está desactivado.
    Por favor quisiera resolver este problema.
    Gracias

  • InDesign CS3 PDF Presets disappeared

    One of my Macs that has been working fine for a while has suddenly lost it's PDF Presets. I should maybe say misplaced, as they are available in the File>Adobe PDF Presets drop-down menu, but not via the Print dialog.
    Dual 2.3 G5, OS X 10.4.11, InDesign 5.0.4, Acrobat 7 instead of 8 due to Quark, Quark 6.52

    I ran through the usual suspects; repair disk permissions, update OS and CS3. No luck. I stubmled upon the link below, again, and manually set permissions for the Application Support folder. It works again (for all accounts).

  • InDesign CS3 with Windows 7

    I just bought a new computer running Windows 7. I installed Creative Suite 3 (I did have to uninstall my display driver to get it to install) and opened InDesign. When I open a new document, I can use some tools, but not others. For instance, I can use the frame tools and text tool, but I cannot use the select tool, and I cannot change the fonts, or other character attributes. I've run all of the updates through the Adobe Installer, but the program just is not behaving the way it should. I have deactivated it on my old XP computer, and really need to find an answer quickly as I am in the middle of a large project. Any advice?

    You'd be better off posting in the Indesign specific forum here, but for starters there's two common solutions, try this first and if that doesn't work try this.

  • How to learn Indesign CS3  SDK programming for windows

    Hi,<br /><br />I am very new to plugin development.I am working in Indesign CS3 SDK (windows).<br /><br />But I am not able to write /understand the syntax of InterfacePtr.<br /><br />for eg :<br /><br />InterfacePtr<IClassIDData> orgDocFileHandlerData(doc, IID_ORGICLASSIDDATA); <br /><br />We get Pointer of any Interface , and pass some arguments .<br /><br />So can anybody help how to learn this programming , I am not finding any <br /><br />books or tutorials on this so that I can read from the basic. I have only <br /><br />referred to Programming Guide(CS3). Can anybody please help/explain  me how <br /><br />to learn it?<br /><br />Thanks.<br /><br />Ravi Sharma

    It's only my way of understanding about InDesign SDK :<br /><br />* SDK objects are know as 'boss(es)' and are accessed thru interfaces.<br />* You can imagine object as collection of interfaces. And you can even aggregate new interfaces to existing objects.<br />* When you have a reference to an interface of a boss, you can access other interfaces (of the same boss - or object) using the *amazing* syntax : (here, doc is a probably an IDocument interface on a kDocBoss object, and you want to access it's IClassIDData interface)<br />InterfacePtr<IClassIDData> orgDocFileHandlerData(doc, IID_ORGICLASSIDDATA); <br />* And finally, InterfacePtr has a reference counter, which allows the framework to destroy the interface object - not the boss of course, only the memory used by the object - when it's non mre referenced.<br /><br />HTH !

  • InDesign CS3 ME not supported the .mrk file

    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

  • How to import an Quarkxpress 5 file into Indesign CS3

    Hello,
    I am in trouble when  trying to open with Indesign CS3 for windows a file created with Quarkxpress 5 for Mac. Do you have any hint? (file attached)
    thanks for support

    The Q2ID plugin is really nice as Bob suggested. If you go through there website they will convert your one document and post it for you to download, email you with the results and a discount code. Well worth the money and a very nice company to work with. I can't say enough nice things about their products.
    If you have a newer version of Quark licensed I prefer use their Markztools plugin for Quark to backsave to 4. Seems to be a better conversion with InDesign's Quark import, though that could just be my impression.

  • Export to pdf vs. print to pdf, from InDesign CS3

    We are using Indesign CS3 on Windows XP. We are creating documents for offset printing, with 300dpi photos placed in the document. We are finding that when we "EXPORT" to pdf, and choose a "high quality print", the pdf is fine. However, if we 'print to pdf' and choose "high quality print", the photos in our pdf are more pixellated, and appear to be 150 dpi or lower resolution. Is this a problem with CS3? Does it make any difference how the tiff files have been placed, or sized, in InDesign? Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    In the print dialog, when printing to PDF, under the graphics panel, make sure you change the default value of "Optimized Subsampling" to "all" for the "Send Image Data" field.

  • InDesign CS3 crashing on "Place..."

    I'm having an issue with InDesign CS3 for Windows crashing when I attempt to use the "Place..." command. I've tried resetting my preferences and rebooting my system but neither of those has fixed the problem. Does anyone have any input as far as other possible solutions?

    I've also had recurring problems with crashing, but with CS4.
    I'll be cutting & pasting text into various column-sized text frames and at some point it doesn't allow me to do it. Everything freezes up, and I must use Task Manager to close the non-responding program.
    This occurred with my installing of CS4. (And yes, I have done the "Export to .idml to clear file corruption.")
    Obviously this is a HUGE problem, and am seriously considering reverting back to CS3.

  • InDesign CS3 incompatible with XP SP3, which will soon be an automatic update

    A couple of months ago, after I had instability problems, I was advised by Adobe Support that Windows XP Service Pack 3, which I had installed, was not recommended for use with InDesign CS3. I am advised today that this is still the case.
    This is now a critical situation for the many people who use Indesign CS3 with Windows XP. ComputerWorld reports this week that Microsoft has said that the SP3 upgrade will "shortly" no longer be optional, but will be forced on people as an automatic update.
    I discussed this with Adobe Support today and was advised that I could turn off automatic Microsoft updates via the XP control panel. Well I knew that, but it is not a good option because it will turn off automatic updates of other important elements, such as security fixes.
    This is a most unsatisfactory situation and Adobe has had plenty of time to sort it out. We need to know when a patch will be available and there should also be a system whereby Adobe can advise XP users when the patch comes available. And Adobe needs to get it's act together urgently, to produce the fix.

    Matthew - if you see no problem with the XP SP3/Indesign CS3 combination, why don't you tell your phone support people?
    When I had my original problems, a large book design file was continually freezing. When I rang support (Asia-Pacific), I was told unequivocally that CS3 should not be used with XP SP3.
    I rolled back my service pack upgrade and still had problems, so the problem may well have been some corruption that had entered my InDesign file.
    However, with that book awkwardly cobbled together and out of the way, last week I rang Adobe support again, to see if any of the recent CS3 updates had made InDesign CS3 compatible with SP3 and again was told it wasn't. Their documentation said it was OK with XP SP2 and Vista, but not SP3.
    This needs to be properly sorted out.

  • Reinstalling InDesign CS3

    I am having problems reinstalling InDesign CS3 on Windows 7 Professional. After an update I was having problems with a couple of my design programs InDesign CS3 and Micromedia Freehand.  I have reinstalled Freehand and have tried to reinstall InDesign but am unable. After I start the installation program it is asking to install another disk. This program came with only 1 disk.

    You should have three options: Install Pagemaker, supply the serial number from your Pagemaker license, or insert the Pagemaker installer disk at the prompt. The first and last of those may be problematic on a new system, though I have PM 7 installed here on Win 7 pro. Ocassionally the DVD drives on new machines don't seem to like some of the older install disks and either refuse to install or refuse to confirm the media during an upgrade operation.

  • Problem with Indesign CS3 missing save as dialog box

    I am having problems saving documents with Indesign CS3. I have upgraded it to the latest version, repaired permissions, shut down a restarted to no avail. This is Indesign CS3 running on a Macbook under Leopard 10.5.2. You can select save and it appears to save a file. However, if you select "save as", the dialog box to select a location never comes up. Nothing seems to happen. I can't figure it out, and it happens to any file. I have created test files and the same thing happens.
    Help!!!

    Trash preferences before re-installing. Also, try this weird procedure: open the equivalent dialog in one of the other Suite products on the same computer (assuming they're there). That's been known to solve the problem on Windows machines.
