InDesign Cs5.5 display weirdness

hi. recently i've encountered an odd issue while working in InDesign Cs5.5 (i'm on a Quad Core Intel Mac).
I've got multiple InDesign documents open, Smart Guides turned on, moving layout elements from one InDesign document to the other, let's call them Document A and Document B...
if i use the gap tool, and then return to using another tool, i still get the gap tool 'arrows' highlighting various page elements, and soon after that elements from Document A start 'appearing' in Document 'B', especially when i toggle back and forth between Normal and Preview mode. it becomes almost impossible to do anything constructive with Document A because anytime i select something, elements from Document B are 'superimposed' over elements in Document A.
Anybody else experienced this? i'm assuming it's just a weird display issue, but...
thanks

i am running the latest InDesign update. I have multiple InDesign files open, and occasionally i am copying/pasting elements from one document to another.
I do often use keyboard shortcuts to toggle from one tool to the next, as well as clicking on specific tools in the toolbar.
We've tried switching to 'typical' from 'high quality' display to see if that made any difference, but the issue occurs either way.
Anyway, here is a movie of the issue:

  • InDesign CS5.5 fonts not displaying correctly when applying styles

    Hi there,
    My problem is this - I've set up character and paragraph styles in a document. Yesterday everything in the document was working as expected. Today I open the file and some of the fonts are displaying incorrectly ie instead of a selection of type being bold (where a character style has been applyed) the whole paragraph is now bold and doesn't respond to having the character style removed.
    There are no error messages, the program loads, doesn't crash, did go slow but I resaved all the linked files and it moved along at it normal speed - it is quite a complicated document. Other files seem to behave, so I thought it might be a corrupt file. However when I tried to save to IDML  the process was interminable, so I cancelled it (tried this several times and with a simplified file - removed all the images).
    I've cleaned out the font caches.
    I  trashed the program preferences.
    Hope somebody out there has a idea.
    Thanks

    Message was edited by: ne18ell

    Most likely reasons for what you are seeing is the paragraph has the bold style assigned to the whole thing as a character style (maybe nested without a valid end trigger?), or the basic character attibutes of the paragraph style were changed to bold. Slightly less likely is that you managed to apply Bold to the whole paragraph as a local override (which owuld show up as a + sign next to the paragraph style name).

  • Strange text display in pdf using adobe reader exported by Indesign CS5

    Hi there,
    I have export an interactive pdf from indesign CS5 PC version with version 7 update, and it looks fine in most of the PC and Mac Adobe reader.
    But 2 of the computer had strange text display. One is the iMAC with latest version of Adobe Reader
    <== you can see the text "78" and "454" are abnormal
    But with the same computer using Safari with perview plugin is showing following result:
    <==you can see the text are normal.
    The pdf is embedded with following fonts and property:
    Another Windows XP with Adobe Acrobat 9 will had same display as the iMac.
    I ensure the Windows XP don't have the font installed with HelveticaNeue and the Mac is using OS Lion Bundle with that font.
    Now the customer blame it is the problem of the pdf created by me and I had no idea how to explain to my customer and find out solution.
    I had a trial version of CC but same result and no error during the export.
    Any idea is highly appreciate. The customer hotline and the live chat is hopeless as they send me to this community to ask since I use CS5 not the latest version.
    Regards,
    Ichi

    Thanks Willi,
    I had the fonts of Helvetica Neue bold light etc which created by Adobe and the font was created in 1993,shown in font property.
    my PDF output is set to interactive not the print one. Other settings are default.
    the purpose of this PDF is for user to print out and read on website. The funny thing is print out had no problem at all with HP and Ricoh printer using PCL 6 driver.
    Despite Safari, the strange font happened in only Adobe product, other PDF reader had no problem such as foxit reader, xchange reader.
    I tried to not embed the font but not able to do indesign, search in Google, it said it always embedded. Also that font family is preloaded in Mac OS.
    I can try any test if there is a way to find out the solution.
    or what should I do so the PDF should display correctly in all computer
    thanks a lot.

  • InDesign CS5.5 does not display fonts correctly

    InDesign CS5.5 does not display Futura fonts correctly. I have removed all versions of Futura from FontBook on my Mac (running Mac OSX 10.7.4) but CS5.5 - Indesign, Illustrator & photoshop - still displays Futura as being open but only InDesign does not display the font correctly. The font displays correctly when I open InDesign CS4 and all other versions of Illustrator and Photoshop.  I really need to use this font. What's going on with InDesign?

    In your first screen shot , there are 2 futura font ,one is Adobe Type 1 font and the second one is True Type, you might have installed both the type of the font on your computer sometime. Now you have removed all the futura font and it is still showing in the Indesign , also the same thing happened with the Minion Pro , seems to me the font cache is not updating.
    First remove the Adobe Font cache's file:-
             At the Finder, choose File > Find.  
             Type AdobeFnt.lst, select the system drive, and then press Return.  
             Delete all AdobeFnt.lst files found (for example, AdobeFnt10.lst).
    then clear system font cache  :-  
    Launch Terminal (from /Applications/Utilities)
    Enter the following command at the prompt and press Return: sudo atsutil databases -remove
    Restart your computer immediately
    and check

  • InDesign Cs5 displayed with wrong resolution (doesn't work in 1920x1080)

    Hello everybody
    I've encountered a resolution issue concerning Indesign CS5 (and Illustrator CS5). The problem only concerns my brandnew laptop running under Windows 8.1 (Screen Resolution 1920x1080). On my other, older PC (with the same native screen resolution), but running under Windows 7, the problem doesn't exist.
    The problem consists in the fact, that Indesign CS5, even though everything else is displayed in 1920x1080 is displayed in some lower resolution, making a good workflow impossible, *** the texts I write are not very readable if I want the whole page displayed (and it's ugly). In other Adobe CS5 Apps, like Photoshop CS5, this problem does not occur. It doesn't also occur in the trial version of Indesign CC, but I cannot afford paying over 30€ per month just to be able to work with an acceptable work resolution. (That should really be included in the price I paid for CS5.)
    To see what I mean, here are the links to 2 screenshots taken of those 2 Apps, with exactly the same screen settings:
    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4786930/Indesign%20CS5%20Screenshot%20Windows%208-1.jp g
    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4786930/Photoshop%20CS5%20Screenshot%20Windows%208-1.j pg
    Is there any workaround known for this problem? It is driving me crazy
    Best regards,
    Frank

    What's bizar is that other applications work perfectly fine at the right resoution (like photoshop CS5 for example). The screen runs at its native resolution. The rest of the program works "fine" (except its uglyness because it somehow doesn't display in 1920x1080 even though that are the native settings of the screen.)
    What do you mean exactly by running the laptop at 100% for the UI? I did not use any other programs and the laptop is brandnew. Actually CS5 is the first application I installed...

  • InDesign CS5 ePUBS Image Consistency across platforms

    Hello!
    I have a question I've been asking myself for months, and finally made an account here for the Adobe Forums, which seems to be pretty much the only place with useful information about ePubs.
    I work in a company that's planning on transferring over 70 print modules (between 80-150 pages each) to be available on iPad and Android tablets / phones.
    InDesign CS5 helps a lot, especially with being able to choose Header 1s as Page Breaks.
    But, I seem to be having some issues with a couple of things that's preventing us from publishing these documents to the Apple Store and Androind Market.
    1) Superscript / Subscript not appearing correctly on final product (Though this has been achieved by using Sigil to hack the CSS)
    2) Bullet alignment (The bullets are all aligned perfectly, just not along with the first line, creating a secondary weird indent bug that looks terrible)
    The main issue is pictures. I am using PNG images.   A few months ago, the problem was solved - If I chose NOT to automatically format my images, they appeared perfect on the iPad/iPhone/Galaxy Phone and Galaxy Tab.
    However, we took some time off this project, and now that I'm back on it, Aldiko has a new version, and it seems to break the images.  Now my images in Aldiko are displaying huge, and previously, you'd be able to hold a finger on an image and it would open up full screen to get a closer look, but all of that seems gone now, and I'll only get half of my image at best.
    Checking off to automatically format the images results in terrible low quality images that are so small you can barely see them.
    I've done some research and apparently Aldiko is one of the most used free e-readers for android, so I'd definitely like for our products to display fine on it.
    Any suggestions? Anyone else that experiences similar problems?

    Your question is rather an advanced one. I've observed that most of us who reply to ePUB questions here are still learning to make ePUBs.
    I've been told by someone more knowledgeable about it than I that the link below to the MobileRead Forums would lead you to more experienced ePUB creators who may be more helpful:

  • Problem creating a 'used sources' list based on EXIF data in InDesign CS5

    Hello everyone,
    I recently started to use InDesign CS5 to work on school projects. These projects regularly require us to have a list of sources, not only for citations and referenced work, but also for images. As I sometimes make quite long documents, keeping track of what image is where, and where I got it from, gets tedious.
    I had the idea of generating a caption based on EXIF data, which I'd move to the pasteboard, and group it with the image. The text in the caption has a seperate, numbered paragraph style. On one of the last pages, I generate a table of contents, which the numbered paragraph style selected. I chose to display it using another paragraph style, without page numbers.
    What I want to have as the end result is:
    Table of contents
    1. <Title>. <Author> (<Creation Date>). Retrieved <Date Placed> through <Description>
    The captions display correctly, as shown above in the body of the table of contents. The table of contents itself however, shows only the numbering in front of it, and not the variables.
    I already tried converting the live captions to static captions, but that doesn't work. Does anyone have an idea how to solve this?

  • What is it about InDesign CS5 that someone would get this error message?

    Hi,
    What is is about the .swf file that is generated from the InDesign CS5 interactive workspace that someone would get the following error message when they go to view the site I created?
    "This file may contain newer information that this viewer can support. It may not open or display correctly. Adobe suggests that you upgrade to the latest versions of our Acrobat products blah blah blah."
    The site doesn't seem to work for four Mac users, but works fine for at least one PC user.
    I'm trying to figure out how to save the .swf file down to Flash Player 9, which I've done by exporting a .fla file, then adjusting the Publish setting in Flash CS5. But that throws a wrench into the works...all the animations go haywire by continuously looping and the scale of all the text elements on the first page is much larger than it should be.
    Thanks, Steve

  • InDesign CS5 file won't open

    At my work, we are working on formatting a book in InDesign. We are using the same base template for each file. I created a front matter document with a table of contents (TOC), list of figures (LOF), list of tables (LOT), acronyms, and glossary using that base template. Everything worked fine; I was able to generate the TOC, LOF, and LOT, and could work with the file with no problem. Then I saved and closed the file. Later that day, I was unable to open the file.
    The message I get includes the statement, "You may not have permission or the file may be open already."
    No one else had opened it and there are no lock files. The other person using InDesign also cannot open it. I made a copy of the file and saved it in another location and still could not open it.
    The files are all on our network. We are using InDesign CS5 and Windows7 (64-bit). The only difference between this file and the others are the modifications that I made to some TOC paragraph styles so two paragraphs could be displayed side-by-side in the TOC (i.e., Chapter 1 Introduction all on one line, where Chapter 1 comes from one paragraph and Introduction comes from another by having no leading on one paragraph style).
    Can anyone suggest a solution for this? This is rather urgent as the client needs the book by the end of next week.
    Thank you so much for your help.
    regards,
    Marina Michaels

    Yes:  The message I get says, "Cannot open (file path and name). You may not have permission or the file may be open already."

  • How to make a handwriting font look like real handwriting in InDesign CS5

    This is a script I've written (AppleScript) that addresses the  problem most handwriting fonts have — they look like fonts, mostly  because they're settled so regularly along the baseline and their glyphs  are so uniform.
    It began as a way for me to address a  need for a project I was working on, something designed to look like a  scrapbook. I was using the "Journal" typeface designed by Fontourist  (http://www.dafont.com/journal.font), which gave me a good balance of  readability and organic feel, but of course it had the same issues as  all other fonts of its ilk.
    To address that I wrote a  script to trawl the taxt frames in a specified CS5 INDD document,  looking fist to see if they had that font as their active one, after  which the script shifts each glyph up or down the baseline by a random  amount, gives each glyph a random stroke weight change, and finally  tints each glyph a random amount off of its basic tint.
    Each  of these changes is very subtle, with the result being something that  looks considerably more organic and hand-made than the font did out of  the can. The script should be easily modified by anyone who wants to run  it using a different font instead of "Journal". Here it is. Enjoy!
    -- This script changes the  baseline offset, stroke width, and color tint
    -- of any type set in the "Journal" typeface to randomized values,  giving
    -- the text a much more organic look and feel.
    -- Written by Warren Ockrassa,  http://indigestible.nightwares.com/
    -- Free to use, modify and distribute, but I'd prefer attribution.
    -- Note that this script can take quite a while to execute with  larger
    -- or more complex files.
    set theItem to 0
    set theItem to choose file with prompt "Select a CS5 InDesign  document to modify..."
    if theItem is not equal to 0 then
         tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5"
             open theItem
             tell active document
                 -- Determine how many text frames we need to change
                 set myFrames to the number of text frames
                 if myFrames is not equal to 0 then
                     set theFrame to 1
                     repeat until theFrame > myFrames
                         set myText to text frame theFrame
                         set myFont to applied font of character 1 of myText  as string
                         -- Check to make sure we're only modifying text  frames
                         -- that have been set in the "Journal" typeface
                         if word 1 of myFont is "Journal" then
                             repeat with thisCharacter in (characters of  myText)
                                 -- Randomize the values of baseline shift,  stroke, and tint

         beep
         display dialog "Modifications finished!" buttons {"Groovy!"} default  button 1
    else
         display dialog "Operation cancelled" buttons {"OK"} default button 1
    end if

    For the fonts, the really cheap and dirty method would probably be to load the names of the fonts you want to use into an array variable in the AppleScript, then get a random index count to grab one of the font names out of that array.
    The script as it exists now goes character by character - you'd want to revise it so it went word by word instead, or else you'd end up setting each word's character to one of your random font choices. Instead of
    repeat with thisCharacter in (characters of  myText)
    you'd do something like
    repeat with thisWord in (words of  myText)
    As for loading an array variable in AppleScript - I've not done that before, but it's probably something like:
    set myFontArray to {"Papyrus", "Arial", "Comic Sans"}
    The curly braces are necessary, as it appears that AppleScript supports lists rather than arrays (a minor but not entirely unimportant detail). Anyway, from there, you'd grab one font at a time, randomly, probably like this:
    set myWordFontNumber to random ( length of myFontArray ) - 1
      set myWordFont to item myWordFontNumber of myFontArray
    You do the first line to get a random number based on the number of items in your list of fonts. You subtract 1 from it because the count on the actual list begins at 0 rather than 1, which means that sometimes you'll get a random number that's actually 1 larger than the number of items in the list, and you'll never see the first item (which is at position 0). This is a very old-school gotcha when working with arrays and lists - a ten-item list will count from 0 to 9, not 1 to 10.
    From there, you'd set the given word in your text frame's font to the name of the font you pulled out of the myFontArray variable. You'll want to make sure that the font names you load into your list are the actual names of the fonts you're working with - the examples I used here probably won't work.
    Please note that this is just a high-level gloss of what you'd need to do in order to modify the script. You'll have to hit the AppleScript documentation (and InDesign's scripting documentation) to get the precise syntax.

  • InDesign CS5 crashes when trying to export a PDF and/or a Warning dialog box appears!

    Just bought a new macbook pro 15" non retina the other day and the SAME version of InDesign CS5 that was running on my 2010 iMac is now crashing each time I get a Warning dialog box and/or try exporting a PDF?!??!?! How was this NOT an issue before and now is??? Running the same Lion 10.7.4 as well....
    Holding the alt key while deleting a page does help it not prompt the warning dialog box, but no help to exporting a pdf...
    So guessing this is a Apple issue and we need an update or??
    I am only using Fontbook and have NOT even added any new fonts yet, practically bare bones mac still with just CS5...
    What is also weird is that the warning dialog boxes are always BLANK and have no text on them, like there is a font issue??
    I've cleared the system font cache, reset InDesign prefs, reset PRAM and NVRAM, re-installed InDesign and updated to 7.0.4...
    This is madness....please help me in the name of all that is good.
    Crash:
    http://pastebin.com/DYv0vwNQ

    figured it out:
    - power off mac and turn back on while holding down Command + R (dont do it on an external keyboard just to be safe)
    - choose the re-install Lion option (I'm sure there is another way to re-install Lion, this is just the way I did it, not saying its the best or only method)
    - DO NOT INSTALL MACBOOK (Mid 2012) Software Update 1.0 - THIS SCREWS ADOBE UP!

  • How do I stop my panels from being visible while in InDesign CS5's presentation mode?

    Hey there, I have a quick question... So when I'm not working with two monitors I sporadically have this problem where when I enter InDesign CS5's (on a Mac) presentation mode (shift W) all of my panels (color, pages, swatches, pathfinder etc) are visible atop of the preview. Its fairly maddening because it encroaches on the actual preview of the document. I have had no luck getting it to stop doing this unless I just close my panels and reopen them all each time I exit presentation mode i.e. very inefficient. However, the weird part here is that it doesn't always do this which makes me fear that its a glitch or something... because there seems to be no correlation between this issue and InDesign settings, the file being worked on or anything else that may change moment to moment. Any input on the matter would be immensely appeciated! Thanks in advance!

    I've never seen this reported before, but it's the sort of wierdness that can often be fixed by trashing the prefs. See Replace Your Preferences

  • Scripting label in InDesign CS5 vs CS4

    I have read through a few (several) of the posts and am not finding info that I understand to help me with this specific problem.
    I am editing a script that was written by another person several years ago and struggling to get it to work with InDesign CS5. The error I get seems to point to this bit of code that I believe creates a list from "labeled" text boxes in my documents. These boxes are later targeted and the content of them is changed based on the user's selection. As I understand it, the method or referring to these labels has changed in CS5, but the examples I have seen are all javascript or something other than Applee Script as far as I could tell.
    --create references to Pass check boxes
    try
        set passTextFrames to every text frame of all page items whose label is "Pass Text Frame"
    on error
        display dialog "There is no labeled box in this document. Please click on the Cancel button, then place a slug from the slug library and re-run the script." buttons {"Cancel"} default button 1
    end try
    Later the code used to change the content of these frames is:
    repeat with aPassFrame in passTextFrames
    set contents of paragraph 1 of aPassFrame to "SECOND PASS"
    end repeat
    Thanks for any help you can offer!

    tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5"

  • InDesign CS5 lag slow on Snow Leopard 10.6

    I am reaching the end of patience with this one and starting to wish i'd not paid for a CS5 upgrade.
    I installed under Mac OS 10.5 originally, did all updates and had font and other deathly slow issues in Photoshop.
    In the end, I enacted a TOTAL system maintenance routine and upgraded to System 10.6 in order to try and get round probs with CS5.
    I since have ditched all prefs, reset all caches, cleared all logs, done total font checks and removed a couple of corrupt ones, repaired disk permissions etc etc etc....  Photoshop 'appears' to work ok, although saving and saving to web can be sluggish (pizza wheel waiting for it....)
    InDesign CS5 is now taxing my productivity. I thought it was my Wacom Intuous 3 tablet, but find the issue (at the mo as I've not noticed anything significant yet in Illustrator or Photoshop) only occurs with InDesign CS5.
    The issue is the glitchy interface - stepped or delayed movements of objects across the page, selecting menu dialogue boxes can take a second when i click on a value, slightly steppy movements make selecting the tiny up and down arrows on some menus very tricky to be accurate.  PLUS saving and saving PDFs in particular as well as PLACE images CMD-D can be deathly slow.  It used to be almost instaneous, slowed only by the hard drive firing up. Now i try to do things and have to wait on many actions. It's doing my head in!  This is NOT PRODUCTIVE.
    In InDesign i have tried turning off Live Redraw, dropping display quality to fast (makes working almost impossible as i need to see what i'm doing), and disabled the Preflight option that is on by default, and i'm sure other options too i've seen on forums.  But no better.
    I have a Quad Core 3Ghz Intel Mac with 14Gb RAM, and an NIVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT graphics card.
    IS this APPLE or ADOBE issue?  How on earth can i get my speedy productivity back so i can move around the screen smoothly, save and place quickly, and select menu dialogues without waiting for it to react..... HELP!

    Glad I thought of it. However, if you're keeping the drive, and don't have other installations, you can keep the backup drive installations active if you'll have a use for them if you boot from that drive. With your slow performance issues, you'll probably not want to use InDesign on that drive, but perhaps you'd want to use some other rarely-used apps from that drive. Yes, space, the final frontier.
    OWC has USB drive adapters that work with many types of drives, including SATA, for about $30. They're open gizmos - no enclosure, no power supply, no fan, etc. They also have notebook-sized (2.5") drives up to 1TB  with USB portable enclosures under $200, less for smaller.
    Consider an extra empty drive for use with Time Machine, as an ongoing automatic backup. It's very comforting. An alternative or supplement is yet another drive that you use with Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper, inexpensive shareware, that make complete and/or incremental backups, on demand or on schedule. I use Time Machine to back up a Time Capsule drive - wired or wirelessly - and CarbonCopy Cloner to back up to a portable USB drive that's Velcro'd onto the top case of my MacBook Pro.
    Oh, and for suspenders to go with my two belts, or maybe that's a belt to go with my two suspenders, I also use Carbonite online backup - wirelessly or wired, about $5/month for unlimited storage. Their gotcha is that data is kept while it's on your drive, and then they delete it from your storage 30 days after you delete it from your drive. I had tried other online storage - Mozy, and some others, but at that time, about a year ago, they didn't work reliably. Probably better now. Not sure if they keep data after you delete it from your drive, or for how long after you delete it. I think also that some online storers define "unlimited" differently.

  • Euclid Symbol Bold and Italic fonts not working in Indesign CS5

    Hi I created some Maths Text books about 5 years ago in an older Adobe Indesign program. I now have to re-edit the files using Indesign CS5.
    The Euclid Symbol Bold and Italic fonts i used back in 2005 now do not display in Indesign 5 when i open up the program. The other Euclid Symbol Fonts do. I think that they are all truefonts.
    I have attached an example.
    I am using a Mac running OSX 10.6.8.
    http://www.dessci.com/en/support/mathtype/tsn/tsn109.htm    <-- this is an error log from 'MathType' the guys who created the font - yet unsure what this actually means for me
    Here is the example

    Congratulations on fixing the problem yourself! Hopefully our article (to which you linked) was of some help in that process. Let us know if you need anything else.
