Indesign CS4 error5. Solution please!

I've purchased CS4 years ago. It won't work on my MacBook (latest version). Error5 it says when i try to open it.
I expect a solution from Adobe since i've payed A LOT of money for the entire master collection.
All the other programs are working.

Did you install it from the original installer or did you migrate? Migration does not work with Adobe programs. In such a case you have to use the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool to whipe out anything Adobe and install from the scratch.
CS4 is not compatible to OS X 10.10. It might run occasionally but you can be sure that it will not run always. Minimum is CS6, but CS6 does not support Retina displays. I would recommend to upgrade to the Creative Cloud as the CS6 is now old and will cause soon the same problem what you experience between CS4 and Yosemite.

Table alignment issues InDesign CS4

Hi,
Can anybody help me on the following issues in InDesign CS4.
We have an table which has 50 rows and 23 columns. All the cell contents is in the number format (example: 56.90) and are aligned on decimal point (dot alignment).
Also, the table content has XML tags.
When we export the table as PDF, we have the issues that the table column texts are not aligned (dot aligned) properly in the exported PDF file.
We used the default "High Quality Print" InDesign PDF preset settings but without "Create Tagged PDF" option enabled to export the PDF. In this PDF, the columns texts are not aligned (dot align) properly. It look likes zig zag. (Please see the below image which is not aligned properly)
But when we enabled the "Create Tagged PDF" option in the preset, then there is no issues in the column text alignment.
Is this bug in InDesign CS4 application. Please suggest.
Thanks,
Gopal

It's hard for me to see a problem. I don't see a problem in the illustration you provided. It looks aligned to me.
Also, it sounds like you found a workaround for your problem (turning on Create Tagged Text).
But, even if there were a bug in CS4, you'd have to find a workaround anyway since there won't be any bug fixes for CS4.

Can't Download Trial version for InDesign CS4! Please help ASAP!

Hi Everyone!
I have been trying to download the trail version of InDesign CS4 into my PC and it doesn't download.
What happens is that when I choose the software and click download, it takes me to a page that says "the download should start automatically, if it doesn't click here". The download doesn't start automatically and when I click what it says, it takes me to the previous page that I started the download.
I hope I am clear enough.
Please help me ASAP, I need this for a project that is due very soon!!!!!!
Thanks a bunch,
Rose

What version of Windows are you running (that's your Operating System). I've never seen that hand thing, but I don't use Internet Explorer. It's clearly a security feature somewhere that is preventing the download, either in the browser or some other antivirus, malware blocker, or firewall program you have installed. What version of IE?
Allowing scripting and ActiveX controls would be in the IE Tools menu under Internet Options, Security Tab, custom settings button. It might be best to get someone with more experience to come in and help you make any changes rather than trying to do this yourself since you don't appear to be skilled in the inner workings of the computer.
If all else fails, I think you can order the trial on a disk.

InDesign cs4 quits whenever I try to use pre-flight ?? Please help !!

I would sincerely appreciate ANY HELP I can get with this.
As soon as possible !!
We have installed indesign cs4 on 4 new imacs (running Leopard).
For some reason when I open preflight indesign immediately quits/closes ??
Our printer requires us to send our documents "error free" or they will not print our newspaper.
As a result we cannot fix the errors because we can not view what the errors are.
We only have this issue with one of the imacs using the new indesign all of the others work fine.............
PLEASE HELP !!
Sincere thanks,

Kuler no longer working in InDesign CS4

Hi
I've been googling this a lot but haven't found a (working) solution yet. I did find a link to what could be a solution, but the link is not working anymore.
I'm an IT guy in an office where we have a small team of four people using Adobe Creative Suite 4. Recently they contacted me asking for help because Kuler was no longer working for them (it stopped working for all four).
I installed InDesign CS4 on my own machine only to see that it does not work for me either. The error message is "No internet connection detected. Your computer must be online in order to search or access kuler themes".
When I go to Windows -> Extensions -> Connections I'm able to login, but not able to search for updates, I just get "The update server is unavailable".
When running the Kuler Air app I just get "kuler klash, please try again later".
Because we're a big company we do of course have antivirus and firewalls. To make sure that the problem isn't because of this I installed InDesign on a machine (server) on a completely different network with less strict firewall and no antivirus on the machine, but It's just the same error message as before.
Our machines are running Windows 7 Enterprise (the extra test was done on a Windows 2012 Server).
Is Kuler just not working for CS4 anymore?
Looking forward to a clarification on this problem.

The Kuler team recently rebuilt the backend of the Kuler service for security, maintenance, and peformance reasons. (the old back-end was showing signs of failure).
Anyway, it seems the new backend is not working with old Kuler APIs (CS3, CS4, and the air app and mac widget). Adobe typically provides support for up to two versions back. At the moment, that's CS5 or newer. So, I'm afraid it's not likely that you can expect a fix for CS4.
At this point, your team can use the web application to browse, create, and search themes. They can also download themes as ASE files (on the website) to import into InDesign CS4.

ChangeCase of Selected Style in InDesign CS4

There is a certain lowercase letters applied in a character style those alone want to be change as UPPERCASE without changing the character style in InDesign CS4 (for e.g. if a group of lowercase characters (that can be any letter) applied in a character style "smallcaps". I want to change that all lowercase characters to UPPERCASE by selecting the "smallcaps" style. Please help me out how to do it in InDesign CS4.

If you search the forum, you'll find a couple of recent discussions where I posted a script for this.

Duplex Printing (InDesign CS4 v6.0 document from Reader)

I have a 26.55MB PDF file with lots of graphics downloaded from a website and using Reader 9.0. The document was created with InDesign CS4, v6.0. It is set up to print duplex on 8.5 x 11 paper with room for punch holes. I am working with VISTA sp2, 32 bit OS and an HP photosmart 7350 (not equipped with automatic duplex printing, but will duplex manually) with an HP deskjet 5550 print driver. I have two major issues:
1-The pages are designed to print to the edge of the page (color tabs) and my printer designates a print area. Is there any way to change the print area on my printer?
2-The print setup will not recognize the document as double sided when I configure it to print double sided manually. Then I tried printing odd first, then even. It prints every other odd, then when I turn and refeed the document, it prints the other odds. When I select even, it prints every even correctly.
Please help! I need this 864 (432 double) page doc printed asap and trying to avoid printer costs. Also afraid a printer might have the same problem???

Thank you. When I reinstalled InDesign I ticked the box to replace the preferences but the reinstall did not do this. I know now because INDD did not open to that splash window as it did when I followed this tip.
Always the simple solution....
At least I *hope* this is the solution. I have only tried it in one bit which had crashed before. (I'll revisit this list if it does not work)
InDesign was so bad yesterday I was seriously thinking of going back to Quark.

InDesign CS4 page numbering not displaying correctly in Pages Panel

Hello,
I searched the forums for a solution to my problem before posting. I am sorry if I'm doubling someone's question but here I go:
I noticed this problem I have about 6 month ago. When I create a simple document with automatic page numbering everything is fine. When I try and create a section (i.e. I want my numbering to start at 1 at page 3) it actually works however in the Pages Panel the pages are displayed with their basic numbers. You will agree this is rather confusing. I've tryed different files, same files on different computers and so on. The problem has to do with my installation of InDesign CS4 and I suppose it's some kind of a display option I accidentally turned on.
Could someone please suggest a solution? Thank you!

Links do not appear in links panel in inDesign CS4

I don't recall when this happened but I no longer have any links in the Links Panel in inDesign CS4 in ANY of my documents old, new, it doesn't matter. If I package a file it gathers all the links if I need to update a link I have to go to the original link outside of inDesign to find it. I have found other problems like this in other forums but have not been successful with the solutions.
Can anyone please please help me with this??
Thanks

I have created a newsletter in indesign cs4 how can I set zooms for each article for the user

I have created a e-newsletter in Indesign. I have successfuly saved it as a SWF then as a PDF from acrobat.
The problem is that when the user zooms in the resolution is not good.
How can I let the user zoom in to read each article. Would I create buttons with zoom settings for each article. If this is the case do I do it in Indesign or Flash and can I still save it as a PDF file and it will keep the interactivity?
I would greatly appreciate any help with this issue. It is driving me mad trying to get the information I need.
Thank you

Hi Bob
Dont know what you mean by deleting my signature in the forum. Sorry its my
first time using a forum.
So just to confirm if I want a user to zoom in on an article I can't do it
in Indesign or Flash.

InDesign CS4: Missing Toolbars/Menus

InDesign CS4: Missing Toolbars/Menus on MacBook Pro
The program has been working fine for more than year, but all of a sudden the menus and toolbars have disappeared and I can't find a way to turn them back on. The program is USELESS without them since you can't do anything.
Everything is turned on (visible) under Edit > Menus... but when you're working in the actual program, NOTHING!
When opening .indd files in InDesign I get a missing plug-ins error (LILO.APLN) and then this warning appears: The following hyphenation services are not installed on this system - Proximity (English: USA). Uh, watchu talkin' bout InDesign?
    1    I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software
    2    I've tried reseting my preferences (http://forums.adobe.com/message/2339388)
    4    I've tried installing the latest update (6.0.6)
    5    Keyboard shortcuts do not work to restore the menus
    6    I changed the screen resolution to see if the toolbars were hiding of screen...
          and guess what? They weren't!
I don't believe it is a problem with the permissions since there is only one user account on this computer and it is an administrator account. No changes have been made to the user profiles since the machine was first set up!
This sounded EXACTLY like the problem I am having (http://indesignsecrets.com/rebuilding-indesign-preferences.php), but the solution (download the 6.0.4 patch) is not going to fix things for me ~ if 6.0.6 didn't clear it up, 6.0.4 sure as hell ain't gonna do it
Oh, and I'm a total novice when it come to troubleshooting (I don't have a f*cking clue what I'm doing and have only gotten this far thanks to my limited ability to Google -- hooray for opposable thumbs!... also, I tried calling Adobe tech support and I couldn't understand a single word of what that guy was saying... the only thing that came out clear was "you're gonna have to pay for help or seek it out in the forums").
So if you've got any advise that might help solve my InDesign issues, please explain it as you would to a child... seriously
THANKS!
Lauren

I read through the thread you suggested, but since I'm not computer-savvy enough to match up the Windows based advise with my MAC, I went straight for the cleaner tool option. I wiped CS4 from my computer, and with hope in my heart I reinstalled the entire suite. As the progress bar neared completion, rainbows exploded across the sky, children laughed and angels got their wings... but as soon as I opened InDesign the whole world went to sh*t again. The toolbars are still MIA. This is CRAZY... they were there last week. No major changes have ocurred that would suddenely make the program stop working... save for the fact that someone has obviously placed a gypsy curse on me. WTF!

InDesign CS4 Package/Collect for Output - Missing links problem

I posted this on the PC forum by mistake so I apologise for doubling up on the message for those who have found the same message twice. As far as I know this is a Mac only problem!
Having recently freelanced in 3 design studios since the CS4 release, the Collect for Output problem within InDesign seems to be widespread. I've seen this happen on a range of machines from a G5's to laptops. All have been running the latest version of Leopard.
For some unknown reason any document created in older versions of Indesign that is opened in IndDesign CS4 does not collect all the linked files when it's packaged. All preflight checks are fine, the new live preflight feature shows green light, I even tried re linking all files to a new source folder containing all links and it still only randomly collects one third of the needed linked files with no obvious pattern emerging between the files omitted, i.e clipping paths, colour profiles, file types.
The worst thing is that it happens randomly on documents created fresh in InDesign CS4 as well so I'm having trouble trying to pinpoint where the problem stems from.
This is driving people crazy, and I can see that it's going to be a major pain for numerous design agencies. I hope Adobe sorts this out quick or it's back to CS3 for most of us who charge for our time. I guess I can always send Adobe the bill for the time spent manually collecting all files for a job!!
Please no obvious suggestions on preflight settings as it's happening to people with twenty plus experience in the business.
Thanks for reading the post.

Hi JAD the mad,
we have the same problem on our machines here at work regarding the randomness of the Indesign CS4 package function collecting links.
The office has recently upgraded to all new Power Mac G5's with Mac OS X Version 10.5.6. 2x2.8Ghz 4GB RAM, a new server and all new Adobe CS4 packages.
Another user on the forum also has the same problem he said:
nguyen khanh duy - 7:40am Nov 23, 08 PST (#31 of 67)
I have a problems with my document created with Adobe Indesign CS4.
I can not package the file with its links into a folder. Sometimes a few files are collected, but when I convert all the images into CMYK color space, none of them were collected.
My documents contains 70 links and 140 pages.
So when I need to collect links, I convert the document into CS3 INX file and use Indesign CS3 to collect the links.
I've tried with other document with hundreds of links and all or them are 100 pages. All the links were collected. (offcourse with CS4)
Please help me. Thank you very much
As for our specific problem,
We have files which do not package all the links properly. Indesign only packages a random amount of the links into the new folder. There seems to be no consistency with regard to file type, size, colour profile or location. The pre-flight shows a green light and this error seems to occur randomly. It is very annoying if we are working on the local hard drive and have links there and on the server and then want to package everything to upload to the server or to work on another computer. We have to find all the links and copy them individually to a new folder.
Saving as with a new file name does not help. Also copying all links to a new folder from the links pallet does not copy all the links. The error is disconcerting due to it's seemingly random occurrence. We have tried all the simple solutions and it seems very much like a bug in the software.
Does anyone else share this problem? It would be great to hear any suggestions or similar stories.
Regards
Steve

Exporting InDesign CS4 to Dreamweaver CS4 error

I'm trying to export an InDesign CS4 file to Dreamweaver CS4 and I keep getting the same error: Exporting as XHTML failed. Couldn't create file. There might not be sufficient space available, or you may not have permission to create files in this location.
I have plenty of space available and I do have permission in this location (my hard drive).
Please let me know if anyone has encountered this error, and if you know of a solution. Thanks!

Thanks for the advice. All of my links are updated as well as all of my fonts are in place. Just tried it and got the same error!
Any other suggestions?
