InDesign CS4 crashes with files ending with a single page

I work in the IT team of a French press group. Our users (OS 10.6.6, InDesign CS4 [6.0.6]) work on facing pages documents, mostly set up with one spread; some files end with a single page. Most of our users complain about the fact that they always have to add a blank page (right to the single page) to avoid crashing. They never crash when they work on files containing only spreads.
Has anybody encountered the same issue?

Hi jmlevy,
Working as a consultant for graphic design companies, I did not hear  of this problem. But, it is an interesting one. Can you send over one of  the files crashing (+images / fonts used)? Then I can see if I can reproduce the crash.

  • Indesign CS4 Crashing with one doc only

    My Indesign CS4 crashes with only one document (my most valuable document, of course). It does not crash with other small docs.
    The exact problem occurs on two Intel Macs (Mac Pro 6gb of Ram and MacBook Pro with 2gb of Ram): The doc opens for about 5 seconds then the ball starts spinning and I need to force quit.
    I did change fonts for the document a few days before the problem began, so if anyone has suggestions how to diagnose corrupt fonts, please let me know.
    If anyone has suggestions on how to recover my document, please guess away.
    Many Thanks.

    I finally was able to recover a backup copy that was 2 days old. I am happy with this as I thought I was having to go back 2 weeks.
    I recovered it by continuously opening and force quitting every backup I had over and over, then attempting a save-as.
    One thing I noticed is that Indesign automatically opens up previously opened documents even if it crashed. This creates a loop that was tricky to work around as Indesign would even with a good doc opened. It would open the corrupt doc at the same time causing a crash.
    My lesson is to rename the document backup every day (not use the same name), and back up on a secondary drive. Thus, if this happens again the worst thing that will happen is that I lose only 1 days of work.

  • LR3 bug: Files from a folder with name ending with "." (dot) cannot be imported

    This is a weird one Surprisingly, directories with names ending with a dot, don't show in the Import dialog and also cannot imported by using synchronization. So, if you have any folder named "Flowers, trees etc." ... you cannot import it.

    And what happens if you delete the dot at the end of the folder name?

  • Indesign CS4 Crashes When Printing to PDF

    Hi all,
    I've been having an issue lately with InDesign CS4 crashing every time I print to PDF. I've never had the issue before, but now it seems to happen constantly. I am running Windows 7, and when I print to PDF, my dialog box gets to "DOWNLOADING PROCSET" and then it just freezes and goes unresponsive. If I end InDesign through Task Manager, and reopen to try and print again, the same issue happens. If I completely restart my computer, reopen InDesign, and then print, it will work fine, for a while. This is happening with multiple documents. I am trying to avoid reinstalling, but may have to try that next.
    When InDesign gets in its freezing spree, I've quit and reopened InDesign, then printed to a Postcript and Distilled with no issues, but the PDF printing still does not work.
    Any ideas?

    Hi
    New to this forum, but I too have had a problem with printing a PDF from InDesing. what I have found is when my dialog box gets to "DOWNLOADING PROCSET" and it just freezes, whats actually happening is the 'SAVE AS' dialogue box has appeared, but is not the active window. When I ALT+TAB through my open applications, in Windows 7 it changes your screen to 'preview' the programs you flick through, and I find it there, attached to outlook, or the internet. Upon further investigation, it appears to attach itself to which ever program I click, after the initial "DOWNLOADING PROCSET" freezing.
    So now when I PDF from InDesign and it freezes at this point, I click the Desktop icon (in windows 7 its the rectangle in the bottom right corner) and it seems to 'place' the 'SAVE AS' dialogue box here, where I can actually select it and click SAVE.
    Hope this helps?

  • InDesign CS4 crashes generating a TOC

    I have read about other users problems with TOC's, but none of their solutions seems to be any help. My InDesign CS4 crashes either when I try to generate the TOC or when I select a specific paragraph style setting up the TOC. Unlike the users of later versions I get no message when the program crashes - it just happens.
    I am working on a book with 40 files (chapters) and inserting index codes and generating index is no problem. I have 12 GB RAM. Please help me.
    Leif

    Now I have performed your suggestions. I split one of the three documents in half and tried to open another document in the book - and the program crashed. I continued to spilt the halves, but since either half still caused a crash, i suspected that neither the text nor the pictures were the problem. I selected one of the halves and removed all text, all pictures, all master objects, but even if I now worked with two blank pages, the program still crashed!!
    Then I studied the panels and removed all unused object formats, paragraph formats, character formats etc. At last I noticed that the index panel still contained a reference - even if all text (and with that also all index references (entries)) was removed.
    Trying to open this reference to see what it contained, the program crashed even if I had only the document in question open!! I removed the index reference - and the program did not crash any more!!!
    When I removed this particular reference in the two other documents, the document did not crash any more!!! And of course I removed it from all documents and now I can open all my 45 documents in the book without problems.
    I suppose that the reason why this index reference caused the problem was that it contained slashes. The referred  text was
    Badeværelse/værksted/mørkekammer
    which means Bathroom/workshop/darkroom, but in fact the meaning is important.
    The conclusion is: InDesign cannot handle slashes in index references which conclusion I hope you will distribute to any user with problems.
    Thank you for supplying me with tools to solve my problem.

  • InDesign CS4 crashes during "Export Book for Digital Editions"

    InDesign CS4 crashes each time I select "Export Book for Digital Editions." I tried deleting my preferences and then creating books that contain only two very simple INDD documents, but I still get this error:
    Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
    Runtime Error!
    Program: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS4\InDesign.exe
    R6025
    - pure virtual function call
    I can export books as EPUB files without problems on my personal laptop, which has InDesign CS5. But we're using CS4 at the office. Any ideas?
    I'm running InDesign CS4 version 6.0.6 on Windows XP Professional, Version 2002, Service Pack 3, HP Compaq desktop, Intel Core 2 Duo CPU.

    google r6025 runtime error and you'll see a lot of advice for tracking down and correcting the problem.

  • Issue with File Download(messageDownload) on Search Page.

    Hi,
    I created a custom OAF search page which fetches values from one table. The document in getting stored in my custom table in a BLOB colums and NOT in FND_LOBS.
    The table has 3 collumns along with others:
    1st is primary key (Record_Seq) ==> number data type
    2nd to store actual file name (File1Name) ==> varcahar2 data type
    3rd to store the actual uploaded data (File1Data) ==> BLOB data type
    The reason for having the “File1Name” is so that I can display the original file name of the document that was uploaded, instead of just the “view” in the search page results .
    On the File1Data BLOB and created a messageDownload for that under query results table with following details:
    ID : File1Data
    ItemStyle : messageDownload
    FileMIME Type : pdf
    Datatype : BLOB
    View Instance : LacEmpExposureVO1
    view Attribute : File1Name
    File View Attribute : File1Data
    When I click on the "File1Name" data hyperlink, it is opening only the first document corresponding to the first record in the search page results.
    For example, If my search page returns 10 rows then when I click on the file1name on any row, It is open the first row file name only.
    I have a primary key column(RECORD_SEQ) in the Table / EO / VO which is displayed in the search page results.
    Also one weird thing is happening:
    If I try to do this more than 2 times then it is opening the update page with the first record from the search page results…
    I tried to print the context and it is nul the first time, But the second time then context is changing to "update". Dont know how this is happening????
    Any advice is greatly appreciated as it is very crucial for me to get this resolved ASAP. I have looked at several forums and did a lot of things as advised in the forums . But nothing seems to work for me.
    Thanks,
    Mir

  • Multiple file links in a single page: A better way to/efficient way to handle ?

    Aloha Everyone!
    I would like to ask the community how they have handled multiple file links in a single page. Sort of a pseudo database of files.
    Here is the webpage I have been working on:http://huichawaii.org/
    Here is what I have done to show files so far:
    old version:http://huichawaii.org/proceedings---2012-education%2c-math---engineering-technology.html
    new version: http://huichawaii.org/ahs2013-proceedings.html
    The website works best in Chrom or Firefox, still have to convert the flash header to an edge animate .
    Mahalo in advance for everyone's input!

    Depending on what other text you might have, you could use the data list component.
    To get the text to have underlines, you will need to edit the repeated item. You can also adjust colors and fonts as well. The default rollover and selected states will probably not be the UI that want, so make sure you change those as well.
    Now for the interactivity, select the datalist, and use the interactions panel, choose "On Select", then "Go To Url", the trick is to make sure the "When a specific item is selected" is also set. Here are the basic settings to get your links working:
    Add new interactions for each item you want to be functional.

  • Why is my InDesign CS4 crashing with serious error detected?

    Hi.
    Can anyone help please?
    I am also having this problem. I have a MAC 10.6.8 and am trying to use indesign CS4, but I keep crashing due to a serious error being detected.
    I have no idea what this could be.
    The action that seems to trigger it is if I try to place multiple images in to a grid format by holding down cmd+shift, however I have also recently installed new fonts in my public library from dafont.
    Here is the link to my pastebin crash report > Crash Report - MSADMIN - Pastebin.com
    Any help would be so appreciated!
    Thank you in advance.

    One of the images causes an error during place.
    The error is not handled correctly before InDesign continues with the next place.
    At that point a security mechanism steps in and invokes the "protective shutdown".
    Fonts are probably not involved, unless your images are actually placed InDesign files, EPS or alike.
    You can try to place the images individually, one of them should bring up an error dialog.

  • Indesign CS4 Crashes When Importing Another Indesign CS4 File

    Help! Every time I try to import an Indesign file into another Indesign file, my Indesign crashes. Also happens when I try to open an existing Indesign file that has files already imported into it. This is a problem because I have existing files I need to work on that I cannot open now!
    I'm running CS4 on a new iMac running Lion 10.7.3. Everything is updated and current. My problem started when I transferred all my files via firewire from my previous iMac running 10.6. However, another iMac in the office running exactly the same thing is NOT having this same problem. So it's definitely something with my Mac, but I can't figure out what.
    I have tried restoring the Indesign preferences by holding down all the Control, Shift, Option & Command keys. I have also re-installed Indesign CS4 from the original CD.
    Ideas? Thanks!

    In case anyone comes across this problem, I think I've found a solution. Seems that Extensis Suitcase Fusion 2 was causing the problem. Extensis says Fusion 2 is not compatible with Lion. However, when I upgraded to Suitcase Fusion 3, I was still have the problem, though not as often. After contacting Extensis again, they told me:
    This is a known issue with Suitcase Fusion 3. I can tell you a workaround and I have passed your information onto the developers so you're notified about a fix.
    Here's the workaround:  You need to uncheck activate fonts in embedded objects in your Suitcase Fusion 3 InDesign preferences.  Here's how you do that:
    1)      Open InDesign by itself (no documents)
    2)      Go to the “Type” menu
    3)      Go down to “Suitcase Fusion 3” (it should show up at the bottom of the Type menu)
    4)      Choose “Suitcase Fusion 3 Auto-Activation Preferences…”
    5)      Uncheck Activate fonts in embedded objects
    6)      Load your document.
    Hope that helps someone!

  • Indesign CS5 crash during startup - problem with Graphics.rpln

    I work in an architectural company and already several of our computers have experienced this very rare and unusual behaviour. During start up of Indesign (not clicking on any file but just launching Indesign) it crashes with the following error:
    "Adobe Indesign CS5 has stopped working"
    We use Windows 7 64bit, so the first step I did - I went into Application Log which says, so appears to be a problem with Graphics.rpln.

    I have tried everything I could think of - removed and reinstalled Adobe CS5, manually removed Adobe folders under %Appdata%\Local and %Appdata%\Remote folders (why can't Adobe delete those things during uninstallation is always a total mystery), changed video adapter drivers, cleaned Temp folders, everything I knew...
    None of the other apps like Photoshop or Illustrator CS5 malfunction - only Indesign. What is going on?
    Can it conflict with other software we use? We have Bentley Microstation, 3D Max, Office 2010, Kaspersky Antivirus and LOGMEIN installed on this computer...Any clues, guys?

    Looks to me like you've never installed any of the patches. Last patch for CS5 was 7.0.4, so I'd start with that and see if ti helps.

  • InDesign cs6 crashes when exporting objects with drop shadows to interactive PDF

    I am using the trial version of InDesign CS6 on a mac OSX 10.7.4  I need to export my document as an interactive PDF. I have found that the export works fine so long as none of the objects within my document have a drop shadow. However, if I add a drop shadow to any object (text, images, or video) InDesign will crash when I try to export. I am adding the drop shadow by selecting the object and then choosing Object > Effects > Drop Shadow. Is there another method I should be using to add the shadow if I want to export to an Interactive PDF?

    Hi Peter, thanks for the response. Yes, I have tried creating a new blank project and adding one text object with a drop shadow and then exporting to Interactive PDF, and I experienced  the same result. I tried replacing my preferences as you suggested and found that it did not have any affect.
    I continued developing my InDesign document without using any drop shadows and began to experience the same type of crashing under two more circumstances. 1. When relinking assets in my Links panel. 2. When exporting to interactive PDF with interactive objects that are being clipped (I get a warning telling me I have clipped objects before I export; when I click export I experience the same crash.) I have tried exporting the same file to a print (non-interactive) PDF and experienced no crashing.
    I thought I should mention that I am using a retina display mac book pro with 16GB RAM. Could my graphics cards or the configureation of my machine be causing my issue?
    Thanks so much,

  • Indesign CS3 Crash No autorecovery or with Time Machine

    Just finished days work. Had Time Machine running. OS is Leopard on 2Ghz Intel Core Duo IMac. Working on 25 MB File (text, I Photo images and Illustrator diagrams). Seemed to crash as I tried to scroll back through it. Unlike other crashes it came up with a message to say it couldn't recover it - can't remember the details as I thought it would all be on Time Machine anyway. But all I can now recover when I open that file is a version last modified on 22 May (today is 28 May and I have worked on it every day between those dates and has been saved regularly. Also Time Machine has somehow reverted back to only having copies for that date 22 May as well, despite the fact that it saved an updated version hourly between those dates (or so I thought). Hope this is clear. Any help much appreciated. Especially some way of recovering my 4 days work.

    Sorry to hear about your problems.
    (1) We really do not recommend use of MacOX 10.5 (i.e., Leopard) until Apple provides more fixes.
    (2) You really should never rely on magic to retain older versions of documents you are actively working on. A much better strategy is to occasionally use the "save copy as" to save a snapshot of where you currently are with your work under an appropriately descriptive name. Alternatively, on a regular basis, possibly every hour or two if I am really actively working on a long, complex document, I save the document (often using "save as"), exit InDesign, copy the document (and any associated assets) to a safe backup location, and then restart InDesign and start editing some more.

  • Photoshop cs4 makes huge files - but with Aperture Whats the biggest file ?

    When editing w/Photoshop cs4 by adding layers and masks etc, This makes HUGE files - but with using Aperture alone, what's the biggest file size when editing a RAW file?? (??? _Kb ??? __ mgB ????)
    I think I heard -12kb. True ?_________ From what little I understand. Aperture changes the pixels once you have finished the editing. Or to put it another away, Aperture replaces the old or original pixels with the edited final pixels you prefer. IE -lighter darker. and with that said. is this still a RAW IMAGE?

    Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
    It would seem that none of what you report hearing is accurate. A RAW file downloaded into Aperture, remains as the Master for this image, and is never changed -- that is why Aperture is said to utilize non-destructive editing. When editing in Aperture, only a small file of edit detail is saved, and no actual new version needs to be created until you Export for some purpose.
    When you send an image file from Aperture to Photoshop to be edited, it typically will be a version created as a TIFF file, although there are 4 choices in the Preferences -- TIFF, TIFF 16-bit, PSD, and PSD 16-bit. When finished editing, the image is Saved in PS, that file is available to Aperture, and the version created for sending to PS will change to reflect those changes made in PS.
    Aperture cannot send an edited RAW file to PS in this fashion, but you can Export the RAW Master, to later be opened in Photoshop.
    You should watch all the available online tutorials about Aperture, and possibly buy a book as well.
    Aperture may have trouble with super-sized images, but I have not had trouble with those in the range of 100 MB or less. Larger ones than that would likely be from scans and not from editing an image shot with your camera in Photoshop.
