InDesign CS6 and CS5 tools are incomplete

Hello all,
Why is Configurator 3.1 missing so many InDesign tools?
Content Collector tools are missing.
And especially missing are the Stroke/Fill activation buttons; the Default Fill/Stroke buttons; the Swap Fill/Stroke buttons; the Formatting Affects Container/Text buttons; the Apply Color/Gradient/None buttons; the Normal/Bleed buttons.
These main omissions make it impossible to make a custom tool panel using Configurator 3.1.
Or is there a way?
Best to you,
Mike Witherell in Maryland

In Configurator 3.1.1, the Content Collector tools were added.
Still, there is no Stroke/Fill/Default/Swap/Formatting Affects Container/Text; no Apply Color/Gradient?None; nor any Normal View / Bleed view buttons.
Is there a way around these limitations?
Best,
Mike Witherell in Maryland

    Ask in the ID forum and be much more specific about your configuration. there could be any number of reasons why manifests, temp files or restore files are created.

  • InDesign CS6 and CS5.5 Export to Interactive PDF

    Hi Guys,
    I am having this huge problem when I tried to export 124 pages including links, buttons (show/hide) and video (mp4) to interactive PDF. However when I tried to use CS5.5 to export, it stops at page 98 and prompts an error that say cannot be exported. In CS6, it managed to pass the page 98 but hangs at page 123 till I got to force quit it.
    I am able to export in pieces but not as a whole and I believe that it could be a memory or ram issue which is beyond my control.
    This is the first time I have encountered this issue. Anyone have solutions for this?
    Mark Plunkett

    I manage to combine them in Acrobat X and the links worked, I was happy but for a while. When I tried to save the combined PDF, same thing happened, it just keeps optimizing running at 100.3% of the resources. What I have noticed using my Activity Monitor in Mac is that InDesign renders it using 1GB or Ram while Acrobat only uses 380MB of Ram when I have 8GB of ram available in my Mac. More the reason why InDesign should have gone into 64-bit in CS6, but was dissapointed it did not.
    I found the cause of the rendering issue, it is not so much about the vector or image size (it does play a part though), it is because I was using too much Show / Hide functions in the Buttons Panel. There seem to be a limit to how much you can use and on how many pages you can have them. I was doing a "Drop down menu" in the PDF with this particular function, each page have about 40 Show/Hide buttons, and there is a total of 124 pages. That is what caused it not to export out successfully, when I removed the buttons, it worked after waiting for 40 minutes of exporting the file, not very happy it took so long, however it got exported.
    I think that both Acrobat and InDesign developers should start looking into able to use Scratch Disk or let the users optimize more Ram to the usage of the software.
    Forgot to mention that this only worked in CS6, not even close in CS5.5

  • InDesign CS6 and CS5.5

    Can an Indesign file built in CS6 be opened in CS5.5?
    Thanks

    No. It would need to be converted to IDML in CS6 or later and that can be opened in CS5.5 with the 7.5.3 update installed.

  • I have Photoshop CS5 and my image processor and batch tool are gone. How do I get them back?

    I have Photoshop CS5 and my image processor and batch tool are gone. How do I get them back?
    I went into edit preference and all the start up scrips are selected so what else is there?

    When you installed CS5, you have a chance to register it. If you do, your serial number is on file under your Adobe (My Products). If you did not, you have no serial number on file and even worse, no proof you own it.
    You do not have your serial number copied down anywhere? Hard to believe you tossed the dvd box and all the documents away.
    So Help > Register might give you a chance to do this without you knowing the number.

  • Can we get Adobe InDesign CS6 and use CS5?

    Hi There,
    We currently have 4 license of InDesign CS5 that comes with Adobe Creative Suite CS5.
    Also an Adobe Product Premium CS5.5. We now need to get an extra license for InDesign CS5 for the Adobe Product Premium CS5.5 machine.
    I noticed Adobe now sells CS6 versions only. Can we get Adobe InDesign Cs6 and have down grade right to use InDesign CS5?
    Best Regards/Allen Chen

    Alternatively move to Creative Cloud.
    But that means buying cloud subscriptions for all seats so everyone is on the same version rather than buying one seat to downgrade. I agree that inthe long run this is probably a better solution, but it may cost more up front.

  • Is it possible to have Indesign CS4 and CS5.5 both installed on the same Mac? 10.6.8

    We have a bunch of recent Intel macs at our corporation.  Currently they should all have 10.6.8.  They were all imaged from a base image that has Adobe CS4 embedded in it. 
    We are now using a packaging software part of the JAMF Casper suite and AAMIE to push CS5.5 to the end users.
    The problem is that we want to keep CS4 on the end user's computers in case of issues.  That way the end users can try Indesign 5.5 and see if it does everything they need to do and still have Indesign for backwards compatiblity.
    So we created a CS5.5 install package using the AAMIE tool which works fine.  We then use Casper to spam the package out to a Mac.
    The issue that arises is that a few Plugin errors occur during the lauch of Indesign CS5.5 such as:
    Adobe inDesign does not recognize InCopy Bridge UI.InDesignPlugin as a valid plug-in.
    Adobe InDesign does not recognize InCopyExport.InDesignPlugin as a valid plug-in.
    Adobe InDesign does not recognize InCopyExportUI.InDesignPlugin as a valid plug-in.
    Adobe InDesign does not recognize InCopyImport.InDesignPlugin as a valid plug-in.
    There was one more plugin error that occured before the first one but I forgot to write it down.
    If we click okay to them, the application launches okay but when you quit and relaunch it, you still get one of the errors.
    Is this because both applications are installed at the same time?
    Is it offically okay as per Adobe to have Indesign CS4 and CS5.5 installed on the same Macintosh?
    What else should we be considering what to do?

    Well currently, I'm just testing this issue.  I just installed the trial version of  Adobe CS4 suite on my mac and then deployed the CS5.5 package on top off it  The resulting errors that I listed above are the same ones that occur when the end user has a licensed volume license install of CS4 and CS5.5.
    So I'm still back to square 1 where when I deploy cs5.5 on an  end user's mac, they get those plugin errors when they launch Indesign CS5.5.  
    I am not sure about the licensing restrictions, I asked my Director and he is going to check with our VAR.

  • InDesign CS4 and CS5 scripting on Windows 7 unstable

    Hello, have not found any solutions to our previous issues with RPC errors while scripting InDesign CS4 and CS5 on Windows 7.
    Even more problematic, I just installed a trial version of InDesign CS5 on Windows 7, created a small JavaScript script that places a counter text from 1 to 10.000 in a one page, one frame document and found out this crashes when the counter is at around 4500 or so. This was the same issue with CS4, that's why I tried CS5.
    These scripts run fine with CS4 on Windows XP and Vista. So what is the problem with scripting Indesign on Windows 7 ? Are there any settings that should be changed in Windows 7 to create a more stable situation ? Need to allocate more memory somehow ?
    Anxious to know, for now I try avoiding Windows 7.

    Shouldn't be a problem but you should be aware that if you upgrade to CS5.5 now you'll get a free upgrade to CS6 when it ships.

  • Running both CS6 and CS5 bridge

    I'm running CS5 bridge but using CS6 tools from the cloud tools.  I keep CS5 on board because CS6 Bridge is really useless for getting any work done.  I face major pauses when I try to use any of the menu buttons or try to right click on anything.  Usually at least 5 seconds.
    So I just use CS5 which is very quick to respond to those kind of clicks.
    I'm seeing one problem that is apparently related to having both versions:
    In CS6 Bridge:
    When I set Edit/Camera Raw preferences/ Camera Raw Cache/ Select location
    It also sets the same place for CS5 Bridge.  And Vise versa if I set it from CS5 it changes CS6 as well.
    Somewhere they must be using the same configuration file.  Just at a guess I'd say that is not supposed to happen.
    Can someone who knows more about the internal workings give me some advice about keeping  the different versions from sharing settings?

    Curt Y wrote:
    CS6 and CS5 Bridge use different cache database.  So same location, different file.
    By the way I pretty much do he same thing.  Even though CS6 Bridge is now 64 bit, it has too many pauses to do its job.  Most are related to building cache.
    Yup, its way to aggravating and time wasting to try to use CS6. In my case, running CS5, the one draw back is that I don't have access to the PS CS6 batch processor, so if I have need of that, I have to put up with CS6 long enough to get that done.  Forutnately I don't use it all that often.. at least the recent projects I've undertaken have not necessitated it more than a few times.
    Are you able to access the PS CS6 image processor from Bridge CS5? (Tools/photoshop/ And here you see several batching sort of tools including the Image Processor).  For me; when running CS5 the Tools menu does not have a "photoshop" entry at all.
    I'm sort of jumping to a new topic here and hope you don't mind.  I wondered if you might have developed a numbered list of things one should try when having the stalling problem some users are seeing with CS6 bridge.  I would like to take one more systematic stab at getting a usable installation of CS6 bridge before resorting to the long and usually painful process of getting help from adobe.
    It would really be handy if someone with your grasp of this tool could codify and distill down a step by step list of things to try to get CS6 bridge working better.
    Your respones to me and to at least one other poster I've noticed (I'm sure there have been more) contain lots of different things to try but with my shortage of experience with this kind of troubleshooting I'm not sure what order to attempt things in.

  • InDesign CS6 and Office 365

    Our users of CS6 (and 5.5) are storing documents in SharePoint Online (Office 365).  When they go to click on the documents, instead of opening up in the InDesign application, they are prompted to download and save the file.  It's like it doesn't recognize that the client has the application installed.  We had a similar issue with PDF files about 2 months ago, but a combination of a Reader upgrade and apparently some change on the MSFT side of things cleared it up.
    Anyone else seeing this behavior?  Is this "by design", or is there a workaround?

  • I have a problem with indesign cs6 and my epson 3880 on mac

    I have a problem with indesign cs6 and my epson 3880 on mac.  I need an older version of indesign but do not have a serial number....any suggestions?

    I see then I believe Kglad's advice is on track with starting with updating your printer drivers.  I have also moved this discussion over to the InDesign forum as the Users in this forum likely have additional suggestions.
    Also if you can please turn off your e-mail signature if you want to respond via e-mail.  Your responses are going to a public forum where the information is accessible by anyone.  I have edited your previous response to remove the signature.

  • I used a Photoshop file as my background for a brochure in InDesign CS6 and when I print it thru eit

    I used a Photoshop file as my background for a brochure in InDesign CS6 and when I print it thru either InDesign or via exporting it as a pdf it always has a white border.  How can I eliminate this?  I was on the phone with a tech for an hour and fifteen minutes.  The answer I was given is that InDesign places white borders automatically.  Need help, the white borders do not coincide with a mostly black background.

    I am not certain you understood the technical support person from wherever you shought help.
    ID will simply output what you tell it to. If you have designed a brochure that has a bleed and your PS file extends into the bleed, and you output a PDF with the correct settings, and send it to a service bureau (not certain about instyprint) that can print that size with bleeds, then trim it to size...phew. Seems like a run-on sentance there.
    As for printing to the edge of a piece of paper on a local printer that supports it, you need to set up the printer to do so. At least that's how it has worked with the borderless printers I have used.
    If you need an inexpensive brochure printed, try Quantum Digital. As long as you design it to their specs, it is a quick turn, the printing is fine for most inexpensive jobs, and they are pretty inexpensive. Offset quality they are not.
    But your file better be constructed properly.
    Take care, Mike

  • Different behaviour of a plugin in CS6 and CS5.5

    I've noticed a difference in a plugin behaviour in CS6 and CS5.5.
    The following call generates a PF_Cmd_ARBITRARY_CALLBACK in CS6. The PF_Cmd_ARBITRARY_CALLBACK appears later in a plugin work and doesn't work properly in CS6. Though in CS5.5 there is no problem with this function, it doesn't generate any weird events.
    suites.ParamUtilsSuite1()->PF_GetCurrentState(in_data->effect_ref, &seqData->curSessionParamState); (code for CS5.5)
    suites.ParamUtilsSuite3()->PF_GetCurrentState(in_data->effect_ref,PF_ParamIndex_CHECK_ALL, NULL, NULL, &seqData->curSessionParamState); (updated code for CS6, in respect that the signature of PF_GetCurrentState has changed)
    I work in Windows 7, x64. CS6 is 11.0.0.378 version, CS5.5 is 10.5.0.253 version. Do you have any idea what might have changed in CS6 to provide such an error?

    Are you developing a plug-in?
    I'd go to the Adobe AE SDK forum and ask there.
    If those are error messages from applying an effect or running a script, what are you doing to generate the error?
