InDesign CS3 Won't Hide

For some reason, I can't get InDesign CS3 to hide. I'm using ID CS3 v5.03 with Mac OS X 10.5.4. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Kelly

It's a Leopard bug. It's been discussed to death. Just search the forum
for Leopard. Cindy has posted one workaround that seems to work for some
folks. There are a few others floating around.

  • InCopy / InDesign CS3 - won't load software but appears in task mgr

    We are going through a computer upgrade and am trying to install Adobe CS3 InCopy and InDesign on these new machines.
    We purchased HP 6005 Pro PC's with AMD Athlon II processors and are running Windows XP operating system.
    Installing both pieces of software goes though fine.  But when you try to turn on the programs, nothing happens.  Nothing loads on the screen.  The only thing shows that the software is running is in the Task Manager.
    We have plenty of memory, plenty of hard drive space.  But we can't figure out why the software won't load onto our screens.  After extensive research online, the only thing we can find is that there could be a driver incompatibility.  Nothing conclusive on whether our processors are incompatible either.
    Does anyone have any insight on the issue?

    We are installing and using the software under the administrator logins.
    My main concern is that we purchased computers that have a processor that is incompatible with Adobe InCopy/InDesign CS3.   We purchased two types of PC's, some with AMD Atholon II processors and some with Intel Core2 vpro processors.  InDesign/Incopy CS3 were going to go on the Intel's (more power computer) and the InCopy was going to only go on the AMD's.
    Prior to receiving the CS3 versions of the software, I hadn't been aware that was the version we were being assigned by our corporate office.  After looking at the requirements of CS3 on the adobe site, it only mentions Intel Processors as basic requirements.
    (We purchasd the computers with AMD's to save some money....the users requiring InCopy didn't need "as much computer" as the InDesign users).
    Could the processor be the problem?

  • indesign cs3 won't launch in mac os 10.4.11

    indesign cs3 does not complete its launch in mac os 10.4.11.
    [i'm running a powermac dual 1.25 ghz power pc g4 mirror door].
    the same happens with illustrator cs3.
    photoshop cs3 launches just fine.
    can anyone help?
    thanks.

    the launch doesn't even reach the splash screen; it's aborted very early in the process.
    i simply get the mac "the application unexpectedly quit" box with no error code.

  • Indesign CS3 won't open

    My Indesign CS3 suddenly started giving me problems when I tried to open it. I have used it for a year or so with no problem. Now, when I click to open the program, I get the moving donut (on Vista) that indicates processing is taking place, but after about 5 or so seconds, it just disappears and there is no further response from the computer. If I repeat this it will sometimes open (I have had it happen after about 5 to 30 attempts) and then the program runs fine.
    I discovered, however, that each time I click to open, a process is started (taking up about 11 MB of RAM (but no application appears in the Windows Task Manager). After mutiple attempts at trying to open the program it starts to run out of RAM and I have to close some of the processes to continue.
    Does anyone have an idea what is happening and how I might overcome it? All the other modules in my CS3 suite run fine. I'm running Vista Ultimate with full updates and CS3 V 5.0.4.

    Hi Matt,
    I'm sorry, but I haven't got a fix. I declined the suggestion to do a System Restore since I don't want to spend the time (and risk the possibility of other problems occurring) without a more convincing diagnosis. I have been burned by such suggestions in the past when trying options without a good account of why it might help.
    My current work-around is to keep trying to open by repeating the double-click on the Indesign icon until it opens. This means double-clicking, then waiting a while, and if it doesn't open, repeating it until it does. After InDesign (finally) opens, I open the Task Manager (Ctrl-Alt-Del), go to the 'processes' tab, search for all the Indesign processes that are NOT the one that is open then stop each of them one by one. You can tell which are the ones that are not open since their indication of memory is around 11K and it is unchanging. The open program takes up more memory than that and it changes.
    Sometimes I have had to try to open Indesign with more than 30 tries, but eventually it opens. I have found that lately it opens after only 1 to 5 tries.
    I'm surprised that they haven't diagnosed this problem yet - and set up a fix, but until this happens I guess I will continue this way until something more dependable comes up.

  • InDesign CS3 won't open after upgrading to Leopard.

    I'm having an issue starting up Indesign CS3 since upgrading to Leopard. It seems like everything else has been working great, including the rest of CS3, so I'm kinda baffled as to why this doesn't.
    When I open it, after loading for a few seconds, I get this error:
    http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/255/picture1lg9.png
    Any ideas?

    WOOOO HOOOO! IT IS JUST A FONT CONFLICT!!!!! I think....
    After days of trying to figure out why, after installing Leopard, InDesign CS3 crashes every time I tried to open "certain" files... I finally figured it out - at least on my system. I emphasize "certain" files, because InDesign would open certain InDesign files flawlessly... and crash when trying to other InDesign files. I narrowed it down to a handful of files and the only thing that these files had in common was one particular font. Well as it turns out, upon installation, Leopard put a bunch of new fonts into my system folder. I am also using Suitcase Fusion to manage my fonts. When starting the "culprit" files, Suitcase Fusion would try to "auto-activate" a font that was already activated at start-up in the system folder. After removing the "duplicate" font from my system folder - and restarting my computer - everything was back to normal seems to work fine now. I am not much of a computer technician.... but this worked for me. Let me know if this helps you too.

  • INDesign CS3 won't install

    I've been searching threads for days now and nothing i try works
    I am trying to install CS3 on a G5 Mac, OSX 10.4.11. I have CS on this computer, tried the CS4 trial, decided to stay with CS3 which I am had on a deceased computer that din't have any Adobe on it except things like reader, and whatever comes with the Mac OS. When I try to load, I get everything but INDesign won't install. Tried multiple time, tried it on another computer (a G4) with similar history and the same result. I've done an uninstall on INDD4, I've cleaned preference files, tossed Colorsync profiles. At first, when I tried to install i would get an message asking for theINDD4 disk. I got rid of that when I dumped the color sync files. and now it installs everything except INDD. I'm afraid to try the clean script.
    What do you suggest?

    Hi Mylenium
         After updating the adobe license didn´t work any longer for the
    second time, since I bought. First time CS3 cleaning tool was the
    solution. But this time it is not possible just to open the
    CS3cleaning tool document(PDF)- not with adobe reader, also not with
    foxit for example. I removed all adobe stuff to install again, but
    installation doesn´t work for  the important components- photoshop
    etc. At first also adobe reader didn´t work (System told me, to
    install photoshop before:-) But after some deinstallation and
    reinstallation now just the new downloaded adobe reader X happily
    works again. Only solution to reinstall the whole system?? (medion
    professional PC, windows vista 5,0 - 2 GB, 32 Bit)
         Thank you for help

  • Adobe InDesign CS3 won't load

    I purchase Adobe CS2 in 2005 and later upgraded to CS3 as a dowload from oline.  Adobe indesign is asking to re-install, however the disks for cs2 no longer works on my mac ox 10. 7.4.5. What to do?  Renee

    You don’t need CS2, only the serial number.

  • InDesign CS3 won't print – neither Acrobat

    when trying to print any file to my new epson printer WF 7515 - but the print is cancelled with this message; "pstopdffilter/pstocupsraster failed with err number 13".
    I have an IMac with Mac Os 10.5.8 - no problem when printing from other computers with previous OS, nor from different software such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Libre Office or Preview - and even from InDesign CS5
    any suggestions? I still have to use CS3 for some projects, and I really need to solve this printing issue
    thanks

    Hi there,
    Don't use Preview to view/print PDFs. Use Acrobat, or at the very least, Reader. You can set all your PDFs to automatically with Acrobat by selecting a file in the Finder, and choosing "Get Info" (or command + i). In the window that appears, towards the middle, you'll see a pull-down menu for "Open with". Choose Adobe Acrobat (or Adobe Reader if you don't have Acrobat), and then click the "Change All" button. From then on, all your PDFs will bypass Preview and open with the application you chose in the "Get Info" window.
    Hope this helps,
    Cheers!

  • InDesign CS3 won't print

    Running IDCS3 on powermac G5 OS 10.4.11. (all up to date) Since upgrading to CS3 I haven't been able to print to my Epson Stylus photo 2100. The job spools then appears in the printer queue with the words "JOB STOPPED" at the top.
    If I try to restart the job, it seems to start with the stripy progress bar doing it's thing, then it stops again - either with no comment, or with the comment: "The process "pictwpstops" stopped unexpectedly with status 1"
    Have tried generating a PDF and printing that, but that doesn't work either.
    Indesign CS2 still works fine and so does Photoshop CS3.
    Any clues.... please.....

  • Indesign CS3 won't load

    Every time I try to start Indesign I get this popup
    I am on a Mac running 10.5.8.
    I have copied the entire Plug-ins folder from my Mac Pro, (also running CS3 & still working) but that didn't help.
    I was able to trash preferences when starting Indesign (CMD-Option-CNTL-Shift) but since it didn't finish loading I don't know if it worked.
    It worked fine yesterday.
    Ideas?

    Found the answer in another forum, with instructions. Deleting the SING file solved the problem.

  • Indesign CS3 won't print black

    ON my HP5000, WordPad or anything else prints black, Indesign prints about a 92-94% screen black...
    what have I done wrong?

    I'm guessing you meant the LaserJet, not the DesignJet plotter...
    In your preferences, go to the Appearance of Black tab and set Printing/Exporting to Output All Balcks as Rich Black.
    Your printer is monchrome, and ID reserves 100" K output for the darkest blacks, which are four-color mixes and simulates the slightly lighter appearance of 100%K only blacks by screening the output when you have set print all blacks accurately on a non-postscript device or are printing to PDF.

  • Layered image with blending mode won't display properly in Indesign CS3

    Hello,
    I'm having trouble placing a layered psd and/or tiff with blending modes into my indesign cs3 document. Basically I have a flattened image with a shadow on a white background. I've had to doctor the image a bit in photoshop and I've used the multiply blending mode to remove the white background. (I'm trying to get around having to clip the image and having to recreate the shadow). Anyone know how I can drop my layered image into indesign and have it keep the blending modes I've applied in photoshop?
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    I'll try and do my best to describe what it is I'm doing.
    I've started out with a “flat” image of a product on a white background with a shadow on it. I need to make the background transparent and so that all I’m left with is the product with the shadow on a transparent background.I want to be able to place this image over another image in indesign and have the background remain transparent.
    On the first layer I have a clipped out version of the product with no background (All by itself with no background or shadow). On the second layer I have the original “flat” image with the shadow and white background. On this layer I’ve used the multiply blending mode to remove the white background.
    Now that I have the product on one layer by itself and the product and shadow on layer two with the multiply blending mode I have an image of the product with a shadow with no background. When I place this into indesign, my image shows up with the white background as if the multiply blending mode isn’t applied.
    I’ve tried this on other images. It doesn’t appear that it lets you bring an image over with that blending mode. It's like I'd have to bring over a clipped image and then place that on top of my original image with a blending mode placed on it "in" Indesign.
    Hope that make sense?

  • Incopy cs3 changes won't update to indesign cs3

    Just the second time using incopy and indesign.  First time, worked like a dream.  Now the overall configuration is still the same but we have probs.
    Changes made in indesign cs3 WILL update to incopy cs3
    Any changes made to text in incopy cs3 do not update to Indesign.
    I have checked folders permissions since incopy is on a pc and ind on a mac.  Seems right from the mac side.
    I am worried that I first saved the indesign document in a non shared folder, then realized my mistake and saved it in a shared folder.  Could this be the problem?
    I made assignments by exporting text and graphics.
    We're on deadline and I'm going crazy.
    Thanks for any help

  • PDF with comments crashing, using InDesign CS3

    I'm using OS10.6 and switching back and forth between Acrobat Pro 9.3.4 and InDesign CS3 5.0.4.  I have Firefox running too, as well as Bridge and Word.
    The PDF was originally made by me.  I email it to my client and she adds comments using her Windows PC - I don't know any more details.  She then Saves As and emails back to me.
    I then open the PDF with comments and start to work through them, making amendments in InDesign, and then marking the comment with a checkmark.  The PDF seems to randomly crash - sometimes it will work fine for a while, sometimes it just won't and crashes each time I open it.  As a result of this random crashing, I'm saving after every comment I process to keep track of what comments I've done.  (EDIT) Sometimes after the crash none of the comments are checked, despite me checking them and saving the file.  V frustrating and time consuming.
    Any ideas??  Thanks.

    There is a feature in interactive PDF called Show/Hide fields which may or may not give you what you want. You can create a button of an image or other object which will make another object (button) appear. Do a Google search on "Show Hide Field InDesign Tutorial"
