InDesign CS4 Blur lines on screen while mouse scrolling

Below is a picture of what is happening while scrolling in a few indesign files. When i stop scrolling it does stop and clears the lines off the screen. Does anyone have a clue what is causing it?

I had a problem similar to this which I found to be a video card issue that I resolved by updating my video card drivers. You might try to see if there are any updates available for your video card. Also, I am not sure what your default setting is for Display Performance but do you notice any difference when you change it from low to high?

Macbook Pro 2015 Base line model, screen tearing and scroll "lag"

When I scroll up and down I notice "screen lag" in where in applications folder scrolling up and down the icons look slow and sluggish. When I move windows left and right up and down you can see screen tearing, a line mid way of the window when moving it up and down or left and right with heavy ghosting. Am I crazy or my macbook has issues?

Your MBP is under warranty. Make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and have it repaired.
Ciao.

Can you have a PDF fit on the viewer's screen automatically when exporting from InDesign CS4?

Can you have a PDF fit on the viewer's screen automatically when exporting from InDesign CS4?

If you were to upgrade to InDesign CS5 or CS5.5 and if you exported as Adobe PDF (Interactive), you could set the View settings for Page Layout and Zoom.
While, as Jongware points out, its possible for individual users to override that option (Preferences > Page Display > Default Layout and Zoom), the number who will actually do that is actually very tiny.

Thin black line across Indesign CS4 doc exported to PDF

Hi ... am using Indesign CS4 on OS Windows XP and exporting docs to PDF (Acrobat 9 Professional) then printing on a HP Colour LaserJet CP2025.
I'm getting a thin black line across the bottom of the page when printing - it doesn't show up on the screen though. The line sits 5mm above the bottom edge of the page and prints whether I have bleed set or not in Indesign.
Have tried toggling scaling, printer's marks settings, printer settings,Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional settings with no joy.
Can anyone help?

Hi all,
EUREKA! Looks like it's finally fixed ...
One of my printer (HP Colour Laser Jet CP2025) has an advanced printer property, under printer features, called "Print Data Optimization" - this was set to "Auto" - I changed it to "Optimise for Text and Vector" and voila! Thin black line has disappeared and I'm happily reprinting a bunch of documents ...
Thanks everyone for your advice and input - saved my sanity

Remove back image while exporting to PDF (InDesign CS4)??

Hi All,
I have two images in my InDesign CS4 file and one image is hiding behind my second image. When I am exporting my InDesign file as Pdf and opening in Acrobat, Acrobat showing bottom image first and then showing my top image.
Is there any way to remove my bottom image which is appearing behind in my top image while exporting to Pdf.
I don't want remove manually because it happening with most of my InDesign file.
Please suggest.
Thanks
Baljeet

I would move bottom image to separate layer and then eventually I would switch it off.
If you don't want to change anything in InDesign you can eliminate the second image in your already generated PDF.
Open your PDF in Acrobat Pro.
Advanced -> Print Production -> PDF Optimizer.
You can leave only "Clean Up" check box marked (eventually Transparency if Acrobat will not allow you to switch it off). All the rest leave unchecked.
This operation will remove hidden image.
Correction: It will not remove the image. It just made the PDF to be displayed much more faster that is why the second image appearance was not noticeable. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Black box (line) surrounds and follows mouse, 'mini' screen size, PIP?

Hi,
I just tried to install the new wireless mighty mouse and wireless apple keyboard.
The mouse worked for a minute, but the install of the keyboard killed the BT mouse and now there's this ANNOYING black box around the mouse cursor.
After playing with it I've noticed that the pointer cursor, which is surrounded by this box (4:3 ratio box, approx 2" wide by 1.5" tall on my 20" 1600x1200 monitor).
The odd thing is the cursor's position within this box moves in correlation with where on my overall desktop the cursor is placed: If I put my cursor in the upper right corner of my whole screen, the mouse cursor is also in the upper right corner of the small 'box'; if I move it to the lower left of the screen, it is also in the lower left of the box, and so on for the other two corners, and if it's in the middle of the screen, it's in the middel of the little black box.
So this seems very strange.
Oh, and neither the BT keyboards or the new mighty mouse BT will show up in the BT menu as recognized devices, though they did just briefly in the beginning.
So after buying a new USB hub to be able to plug in the Apple/Belkin USB hub along with the Apple store's D-Link USB Bluetooth adapter and a new BT keyboard and mouse - $200 for a wireless keyboard and mouse, all I have is ultra annoying new software problems and all the same wires as before, with an additional keyboard and mouse on my desk. UGH!!!
Can anyone help with this 'black box around the keyboard issue, at least?
Thank you soo, so much for any solutions!

Oh and this weren't enough my barely used video ipod video 60 GB self-distructed this AM - melted inside somehow. I am in Apple ****.

GREEN STAR FOR YOU!
Of all the things - somehow, and I've never even been into this control panel, inside the Universal Access/Seeing/Options dialogue, the box was checked saying "Show preview rectangle when zoomed out".
I unchecked this, and it went away. I had not selected this, ever. How it happened, I don't know except that I do have a Logitech NuLOOQ tooldial device which I had unplugged from USB while troubleshooting my BT wireless keyboard and mouse, and this device requires having the 'enable access for assistive devices' checked in the Universal Access control panel.
Perhaps unplugging that device somehow lead to this problem, but otherwise I've never 'visited' the UA pref panel or checked anything in it.
Odd, but THANK YOU for the suggestion!!!

InDesign CS4 - Serious Screen Rendering Issue

I just migrated from the CS2 Suite to CS4 Suite (I uninstalled CS2 Suite first before installing CS4 Suite) on my Windows XP SP3 system.
The first thing I noticed was that InDesign CS4 (ID) had trouble rendering its screens properly when doing common functions. When the issue occurs, only "parts" of the ID app screen will display (see attached figure), and the CPU usage (as shown in Task Manager) goes to 100% usage. At this point, my system grinds to a halt, and I don't know where I am in the ID application because the screen is not fully "painted". All I can do then is shut down ID using the "End Task" option of the Windows Task Manager. As soon as ID closes, my CPU usage immediately goes back to normal (5-10% range).
So far, I've noticed this rendering issue when:
- I minimize the app to the system tray, then go to maximize it. This happens with or without an ID file open.
- I am closing/exiting a file
- any time a lot of screen repainting needs to occur when moving "in" and "out" of ID
This issue may not happen at every instance in the above circumstances, but often enough (90% of the time) to make ID virtually unusable to me. Sometimes, I am able to "jog" ID back to its senses (i.e., a proper repainting of the screen) by navigating through the ID menus. This works only sporadically, however, and the results usually do not last long.
This issue does not show up on any other of my CS4 apps (PhotoShop, Illustrator, Acrobat, etc.), nor on any of my Windows Office 2003 apps. My other colleagues in my department have not seen this issue with their CS4 ID, and some of them are running nearly identical systems as mine (everything but the Dell monitor).
What I've tried so far without any help:
- used Adobe Updater for the latest CS4 updates (I am running ver. 6.0.2 of ID)
- ran Windows Update and installed all the latest updates beyond SP3
- deleted files on my hard drive to free up space (I have 20% free)
- defragged my hard drive
- updated my display driver
- tried various screen resolutions and refresh rates of my display
Specs of my machine:
Dell Optiplex GX620
Pentium 4 3.00 Ghz CPU
80 GB Hard drive
4 GB RAM
Windows XP SP3
Dell 1907ftp LCD monitor
IE ver. 6.0.2900
McAfee 3.6.0.608 virus checking
Can anyone help?

One thing that is missing from your list of system components is the video card used on your system. And that may be the source of your problems. In general, though, we are not aware of any video problems particular to InDesign 6 as opposed to InDesign 4 which you previously had installed.
Many low-end computers from Dell and others take the low cost route by integrating a graphics display chip, typically from Intel, on the motherboard which does not have its own dedicated graphics memory. It shares memory with Windows. This has several ramifications (pun not really intended, sorry!). The first is that using main memory as video memory means that you have very slow video memory, very much slower than the memory on dedicated graphics cards. The second is that access to that memory competes with disk operations, CPU operations, and virtually everything and anything going on with your system. If in fact your system does have one of these integrated graphics chips in lieu of a real graphics card, there might not be much you can do assuming you have the latest video driver (you said you checked that) unless your Dell OptiPlex allows you to disable the motherboard integrated graphics chip and install a real video card. (To be completely fair, the integrated graphics display chips are perfectly fine for systems that are not running graphically intensive applications - Outlook, Word, and a web browser instance or two work quite well with those configurations.)
Other things that I would check would be disk space as well as fragmentation. An 80GB disk is not that big these days and if most or much of the remaining free disk space is highly fragmented (as it might be after uninstalling CS2, installing CS4, and perhaps doing a whole bunch of Windows updates including SP3), disk operations, including page file operations, might be excrutiatingly slow.

GNU Screen mouse scrolling shows only empty lines

Hi,
I've got a problem with using my mouse wheel to scroll in GNU Screen.
This is the content of my .screenrc:
defscrollback 10000
hardstatus off
termcapinfo xterm* ti@:te@
altscreen on
With this settings, It kinda works: I can scroll up, but instead of showing the previous output, I just shows blank lines.
I can actually scroll up by entering Screen's copy mode using CTRL-A ESC and then using the Arrow-keys or PageUp.
Furthermore, if I then scroll with my mouse wheel, I can also scroll the lines that were displayed in copy mode, but if I try to scroll further than I scrolled in copy mode, I still see blank lines.
Thanks in advance!

No I think the problem is more basic than that...he's trying to use an ATi card and an Nvidia card simultaneously. Something that I don't think will work.
It also dependent on what drivers he is trying to use, as the (new) Nvidia proprietary driver only supports GeForce4 series chips and up...and the OP has an even older card than that. The legacy Nvidia-96.xx driver does support his chipset, but 96.xx does not work with Xorg1.8 last I knew. see: http://www.archlinux.org/news/502/
Twinview does not exist in the Nouveau drivers, so one has to use xrandr: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nouveau

Why does my screen makes grey stripes like blurred lines over my screen?

Could any one help me find out why my iPad makes grey blurred lines?

It could be either a physical defect or a problem with the software. I remember I had a similar issue with my iPad 4, a random blue line showed up on my screen. I brought it into the Apple Store to see if they would exchange it for a new one and they were happy to do so.

Getting an strange error in "PluginPrefix.pch" while compiling a plugin code with InDesign CS4 SDK.

Hi everybody,
Currently trying to compile/build the existing Plugin code (C++) with InDesign CS4 SDK on my Mac OS X 10.5 machine but getting following strange errors.
/Volumes/MAC Extended/Inbetween Extended/Visual Studio/Adobe InDesign CS4 SDK/source/precomp/gcc/PluginPrefix.pch:26:27: error: MemoryStatics.h: No such file or directory
/Volumes/MAC Extended/Inbetween Extended/Visual Studio/Adobe InDesign CS4 SDK/source/precomp/gcc/PluginPrefix.pch:39:30: error: PluginBuildFlags.h: No such file or directory
/Volumes/MAC Extended/Inbetween Extended/Visual Studio/Adobe InDesign CS4 SDK/source/precomp/gcc/PluginPrefix.pch:40:28: error: AnsiBasedTypes.h: No such file or directory
/Volumes/MAC Extended/Inbetween Extended/Visual Studio/Adobe InDesign CS4 SDK/source/precomp/gcc/PluginPrefix.pch:41:26: error: ShukHeaders.cp: No such file or directory
Though above mentioned files are present at the following directory
/Volumes/../../../Adobe InDesign CS4 SDK/source/precomp/common/
Note : However initially I did not find “MemoryStatics.h” and “AnsiBasedTypes.h” files in the installed SDK directory. I have downloaded them from the net and copied those into the above mentioned directory.
I am not much familiar with Mac OS environment and compiling/building C++ code with Xcode. Can anyone help me to resolve this issue (might be very trivial and related to Xcode project configuration) ?

Thanks for the quick response,
Yes, current build settings include path shortcuts as mentioned below and it also contains “$(CS_SDK_PATH)/source/public/includes” path in HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS settings. But still I am getting the same error: MemoryStatics.h: No such file or directory
CS_SDK_PATH= /Volumes/MAC Extended/Inbetween Extended/Visual Studio/Adobe InDesign CS4 SDK
CS_SDK_PRJ_PATH=/Volumes/MAC Extended/Inbetween Extended/Visual Studio/InBetweenDev/Projects/InBetweenCS/IBClientPluginCS3/prjCS4/mac
Just for clarification : my Plugin code /project files are not inside the InDesign SDK (build/mac/prj). All the plugin project is outside of the InDesign SDK directory. Thus above mentioned CS_SDK_PATH and CS_SDK_PRJ_PATH are completely different.
Is it expected that the plugin code/project files should be inside the InDesign SDK/build/mac/prj directory only ? or is it okay if we put it in the completely another directory structure and modify the SDK_PRJ_PATH accordingly (as in my case) ?
Please let me know if you want me to elaborate the situation further.

Error while making an epub from InDesign CS4

I'm trying to make an epub from a book pallette in InDesign CS4. I get this error message:
Could not find required entry in archive: OEBPS/\QBones%20cover%2015%20ePub%202.xhtml|\
so the document won't open in Stanza. Although it will in Adobe Digital Editions and in calibre.
Any body get this error message? Am I clicking a wrong button somewhere, or is there something wrong with my file?
I'm also having trouble getting the export settings right for the type, and still need to learn how to build the table of contents.
with hope and thanks,
Linda

I am having the exact same problem. When exporting a book from CS4 only the TOC and the first Chapter or section export correctly. Inside the epub file everything seems configured correctly but all the chapter or sections after the first are xhtml files without any content, just the initial structure of an ordinary xhtml file.
Anyone have any answers to this? If we can't get the export from book option working it basically makes InDesign useless for Epubbing things. Which makes me think this isn't a common problem or if it is there is a solution.
Help!
Oh, and I am using the ME edition of CS4 in case that matters, though I don't see that it should.

chkdsk /r run from the win2k8r2sp1 install dvd command line resulted in more corrections than i was able to screenshot:
After this the server would only boot to black screen with mouse cursor. same black screen result in safe mode or directory services restore mode. sfc /scannow, startrep, and registry repair from the folder contents @ c:\windows\system32\config\regback
have been attempted with no improvement. I am still able to access the filesystem contents using the command line from the win2k8r2sp1 installation DVD - user + registry files copied over to another drive without problem and i was able to load
the registry hive on another system. This server was doing dns, domain controller and certification authority but the only important item is getting the CA back somehow. Any suggestions are welcome.

Hi,
According the information you have provided, the file system is broken.
After the repair, do chkdsk /r and sfc /scannow give any warning or error?
If yes, it means that the file system and system file are not repaired. Please post the error or warning here. It may give some hints.
Best Regards.

Minimized files make it difficult to open other files in InDesign CS4

When I minimize a file I 'm working on to the bottom of the screen in InDesign CS4 and try to open another file, the file I'm trying to open minimizes to the bottom also. It took many tries and a lot of frustration to realize I have to drag the minimized tab up to the left corner and drag the corners out to work on it. I get many interruptions during the day, and often like to minimize one project while I need to take care of a quick fix on another project. Is there a setting I'm missing that will correct this? I have not encountered this in previous versions of InDesign.

Well...what do you know?
All I can do is confirm the behavior. The new file isn't minimized but it is at the bottom of the screen.
You might want to file a bug report.

Cannot add ruler guides in InDesign CS4. What am I doing wrong?

I'm trying out InDesign CS4 on a trial basis. I have the Web Design CS3 suite and have no problem making ruler guides by clicking and dragging from a ruler. I'm wondering if there is a conflict between CS3 and CS4 products. I can't select the Selection or Direct Selection Tools by clicking on them. They do become active, however, if I use the keyboard shortcuts (V) or (A). According to the 1-on-1 tutorial, my Selection Tool cursor should change from black to white when the guide snaps to an existing margin. My cursor turns white as soon as a click on the ruler. When I drag, nothing happens. When I release the mouse button, the cursor turns black again. With the Direct Selection Tool, the cursor remains white throughout the entire attempt. Nothing happens in either situation. This is a simple, getting started doc. There is only one layer, I'm in Normal view, and I have created margins and columns that are visible. I can select Baseline and Document grids and they work. Is this a bug or am I missing something?
P.S. I've tried to attach the InDesign file (840 kb), but got the message, "The content type of this attachment is not allowed." Sheesh!

You were right in your original assessment; it was a corrupt installation. There were several other things not functioning as designed. I just came upon the guides problem first. BTW, I found that if I expanded the document to where it covered the entire screen, the guides were visible. Unfortunately, the tool box and menus are covered, so that was a bit inconvenient. Just wanted to say thanks and tip my hat to you and the others who responded by offering help.
One last thing, when I posted my original posting, I tried to attach the InDesign doc file I was working on and got a pop-up window saying that these type of files are not allowed. Am I to understand that you can't post InDesign files on the Adobe forum?
