InDesign CS6 Missing "Overlay Creator" entirely?

Hi all,
I've recently downloaded the trial version of InDesign CS6 as well as the DPS Desktop Tools (http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=5377&fileID=5010) and I'm following the "Get Started" tutorial here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/digitalpublishingsuite/articles/digital-publishing-suite-hands -on-tutorial.html
I've followed the instructions, installed InDesign CS6, Installed the tools yet when I open the example project in the tutorial I have no overlay creator option form Window > Extensions
Can someone help me please? Point me in the right direction?

In Indesign CS6 it is called Folio overlays. Go to Windows>Folio Overlays.

  • Nothing new in CS6 for Overlay Creator?

    Is no-one else a little dissapointed there's nothing new as far as the Overlay Creator Panel goes in InDesign? I realise javascript transitions are still in their infancy, but I was kind of hoping for further options with controlling object states and transitions.
    Coming over from the Flash world, or even just the array of options that InDesign offers in the way of Flash presets, I feel there's a lack of this for .folio files.
    I've been experimenting with Wallaby for a while, the massive work around to replicate a simply Flash transition is still to clunky. Even with the cleanest Flash files built from scratch (we're talking a single tween) it still throws out too many errors, but thats not my problem. The fact you can't even preview your then exported transition in the Desktop Viewer is just poor. Any good reason why this isn't possible, because having to go through the iPad Content Viewer every time is making for the longest workflow imaginable.
    I suppose I should learn more about CSS3/Javascript, but I thought the point of this was what you can do inside of InDesign, without having to go InDesign > Flash > Wallaby > Opening CSS files > InDesign > Adobe DPS > iPad to make a simple animation?

    @Neil,
    Thought I'd let this stew for a day while I checked out Edge. Bear in mind I juggle lots of different projects on a daily basis, but manged to get to grips with it immediately. Timeline, keyframes, eases, scenes… its just like Flash. Wow! Only in a more friendly and modern Adobe interface (I always felt like Flash was stuck with some Macromedia mentality).
    Very impressed with this on the surface. I've no idea what kidn of code it kicks out, and I don't care, as far as components to websites or using in conjunction with DPS this is great. I suppose our developer could always tidy up the script if need be. Very much looking forward to full release.
    Quick question though
    This expires in 35 days. Is it refering to my particular install or is this is message saying all copies of Edge? I just couldn't figure out if this means I won't be able to continue testing it, or everyone won't?
    @Peter
    I agree, this kind of thing probably should be kept out of InDesign, as its print programme at heart. Being able to edit text and produce layouts quickly is my main concern, anything the slows it down isn't helpful in my eye. I'd say there is a fair bit of Photoshop influence in there no though, layer styles have a lot to be thankful for.

  • InDesign CS6 - missing menus

    I've uninstalled InDesign CS6 (cloud membership)... downloaded reinstalled through the cloud app, installed without errors, but i'm missing menu items/windows and its driving me crazy.... do i need to reinstall again?
    missing stroke, but it can get to the weight by the contextual menu
    missing the object text box menu item (forget what its actually caused)
    little things like that
    please help

    Thanks Peter... i'm working again
         created a new user account everything was there...
         logged back in as my own account manually removed Adobe folders (and files) in Application Support, Saved Application State, & Prefs for the User...
         restarted and launched, everything is back
         I tried ditching each one at a time and that didn't work, had to trash everything at once, so somewhere it was picking up somethat that wasn't right.
    p.s. Edit>Menus where all turned on, resetting the workspaces didn't make a difference either... weird
    Thanks Again! I'm a happy camper now

  • Indesign CS5 vs overlay creator

    if i want to make a image seqance and hit the folder icon in de overlay creator my indesign cs5 force closes.
    what happend i was in de pre release of DPS

    You can't use earlier plugins. If Extensis hasn't updated them then you'll need to upgrade or live without it.
    FWIW, I wrote a review of Suitcase Fusion 3 for Creative Pro: http://www.creativepro.com/article/review-extensis-suitcase-fusion-3

  • Indesign CS6 missing tools?

    I have Indesign CS6 education version in Chinese and English (2 sets). For both set I can not see the "水平格線工具""and "
    垂直格線工具" in the tools panel, which means I can not put Chinese characters in vertical line. Can anyone help?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for replying Peter. I ended up resetting the preferences of InDesign (cmd + opt + ctrl +shift while opening) and that solved the problem. Funny, I found it through another forum you commented on. http://forums.adobe.com/message/4654417
    Then the Adobe support site. http://help.adobe.com/en_US/indesign/cs/using/WSa285fff53dea4f8617383751001ea8cb3f-6d21a.h tml

  • Indesign CS6 Missing Plug-ins

    When I launch Indesign it states
    "Cannot load JPEG Export UI.IndesignPlugin because it requires JPEG Export Filter.  Please install the JPEG Exporter Filter plug-in and restart Indesign."
    I click "ok", then another pop-up states
    "Cannot load Layout Adjustment Panel.IndesignPlugin because it requires Layout Adjustment.  Please install the Layout Adjustment plug-in and restart Indesign."
    I've had Indesign installed on my iMac for a couple of years; haven't used it much, but I don't recall it ever doing this before.  Any ideas on how to correct this issue?
    Thank you

    That means that something in the user account is screwed up.
    Go back to the first account and start by trashing the prefs. See Replace Your Preferences . You're also going to need to see Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 and later to find the two folders that hold the prefs files.
    If just trashing the prefs doesn't clear it up, that means that more than just the two files are messed up. The good news is you can replace the entire two folders and it should work. Go back to the original account and rename the two folders (do this first so the entire folders will be replaced, not just the files inside them), then copy the folders from the new user.

  • CS6 overlay creator

    Ive been using cs5.5 for app development to date but wish to change to Cs6 cloud to take advantage of free apps. However when I open project in cs6 the overlay creator is no where to be seen. Even under window - extensions it is not there, only Kuler?
    Do I have to uninstall CS5.5 to make cloud work properly?
    Is there likely to be any issues for work in progress  using 5.5. Or should I complete project before ditching 5.5?
    Any other suggestions to get Overlay creator to appear? (And yes before you ask I am in the Digital Publishing space).

    Hello,
    the Overlay creator is now called Folio Overlays in CS6 (along with the Folio Builder Panel) and it's available after you install the DPS Desktop Tools by going to the InDesign CS6 Help menu and choosing Updates.
    You should be able to see the DPS Tools available to download in the Adobe Application Manager.
    Or you could download it at http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5377

  • Missing links in Indesign CS6!

    Good morning!
    Yesterday, my workmate and I did a .indb file in Indesign CS6. That .indb (book) is made of several .indd files (documents).
    So far so good. Then, after it was ready, we linked all images (using the Links panel) to each .indd and then we saved it.
    Today, I've tried to move those documents to my computer.
    However, the Links panel now shows many missing links in the images, according to the image below:
         I can't understand how Indesign CS6 missed links in this case, because we have already linked all images to each document.
         Please, I would like to learn more about this process of linking images to documents in Indesign.

    inDesign links documents via a file path.
    It doesn't actually add the image itself to the document, but rather relays a link to the where file resides on the hard drive.
    It then draws a representation of that image in the layout using a proxy thumbnail.
    So when it's linked it is actually looking at a file path, say something like
    If I move that file to a computer where the my documents folder has a different name say "C:\MyDocuments\Eugene\Images\Eugene1.png"
    "C:\MyDocuments\Marcelo\"
    Then when I open the file on Marcelo's computer the link would still be
    "C:\MyDocuments\Eugene\Images\Eugene1.png"
    I need to redirect the link to go to
    "C:\MyDocuments\Marcelo\Images\Eugene1.png"
    As stated above you should use
    File>Package
    Zip the folders the computer generates - and then send them to a new computer.
    Unzip and work on the file.

  • How do I create an interactive PDF file in InDesign CS6 with Folio Overlays?

    I have been trying to export an interactive PDF file using InDesign CS6. It exports fine, and all the content works except for the Folio Overlays I created. I created two Folio Overlays (one Pan & Zoom and one Scrollable Frame). The overlays work if I preview them from the Folio Overlays panel, but they do not work on the PDF document.
    I am using File >> Export... to create the PDF document, and I am sure the PDF document is of the interactive type and not the print type. Am I exporting it incorrectly? Is there a specific step that I have missed somewhere? Do I need to create a Folio Build to make the Folio Overlays work?
    When I mouse over the Folio Overlays, I get the crosshair cursor which only selects part of the image when I click and drag it.

    PDF is one thing. Folios for DPS is another. There is a little bit of
    overlap but not much.
    The interactivity in the folio overlays panel is for DPS only.

  • InDesign CS6 + Yosemite + Copy/Paste = Missing font

    We use ITC Franklin Gothic throughout all of our pieces; it's installed and it's the default font setup. New and existing files have opened without issue until now. I opened an advertisement that needed to be resized, from our shared server and copied the contents. In a new document, I pasted the contents suddenly the font says it's missing. The images retained their links to the packaged folder on the server, the fonts just stopped working. I closed InDesign, then disconnected from the server in case there was some kind of conflict between the local font and the server font override from the packaged fonts folder (packaged from the local font installed, I made the source ad this same way). Loaded the new file, and got the expected missing links dialogue, but unexpectedly the fonts were still missing. I reviewed the missing fonts, and it was the entire family. I opened Suitcase, verified the fonts are active. Still no fonts in InDesign. Okay, disactivated font in Suitcase (maybe it needs an update), installed the font in Fontbook, need to get the ad done and I don't have time for this. Verified font works by opening a different file, making a new document, but as soon as I opened the ad with the missing the fonts, fonts go missing. I then changed the fonts to a different family, and tried changing them back, but the font doesn't even show in the list of fonts. I can't figure out why this particular method of copy and paste breaks the font. I've opened and created other files with this font family active, while this copy/paste file is open at the same time in another tab while it still says "no". The only work around I could use was to copy the entire packaged folder from the server to my desktop and just change the document properties to the size I need, then adjust the artwork to fit.
    I'd like to find a resolution as to why copying and pasting broke this font even though the same missing font works fine simultaneously in a different document. Any suggestions/questions/thoughts/solutions would be very welcome.
    System specs:
    27" iMac (Mid-2011) 3.1 GHz i5
    32 GB RAM
    1 GB Video
    10.10.2
    Adobe InDesign CS6 8.1
    Update: Looking through the font list, Franklin is being listed as a different font. Though the character palette, the font selected is ITC Franklin Gothic Std Book; the font listed in the Type drop-down menu is Myriad Pro, and once that was deactivated, Helvetica.

    i don't see how that could be the case because I originally installed the font, created and packaged the ad, and the font is available for typesetting in a new document while this problematic document is open without being connected to the server.
    I upgraded to creative cloud 2014 and this particular document is still a problem. This font issue is limited to this sole document. I'm guessing it has something to do with the copy and pasting. Tomorrow, I'll try replacing the font to something else and then copy/pasting it in the same way if it recreates the same problem with a different font.

  • InDesign CS6 for Windows: Type tool crashes program and am getting missing plug-in msgs.

    Just installed InDesign CS6 for Windows. When I open the program, I receive three messages:
    (1) Paragraph Panel.APLN needs Justification Panel plugin;
    (2) Runin Styles Panell.APLN needs Find and Change Panel plug-in;
    (3) Objectstylesui.APLN needs Graphics Panel plug-in.
    To top it off, the type tool crashes the program.
    I couldn't locate any current forum postings that appeared to help. I have uninstalled and re-installed the software. I have done an update from Adobe.
    Advice? This is an educator's addition if that matters.
    Thanks,
    Julie

    Thank for your help Peter. My software is working just fine now.
    For others who might encounter these issues, here is how - with Peter Spier's help - I solved my problems. I uninstalled the previous CS6 version and re-booted. I disconnected from the Internet and then disabled my antivirus protection, antispyware and firewall. I had to do this in Norton as well as Windows (Windows Defender and Windows Firewall). Then I re-loaded the entire CS6 and re-booted. I opened InDesign. I no longer got the msgs about plug-ins missing. I then opened a new file and checked the Type tool. It worked fine. I opened an InDesign CS3 file, saved it as a new file in ID CS6. I was able to successfully edit text using the Type Tool.
    Thank you to Peter for your help!

  • Overlay creator crashing InDesign

    Hello,
    I've been working with DPS in InDesign CS5.5 with no problems. About five days ago I updated to the current Folio Producer Tools and Folio Panel Tools for CS5.5 and have had no problems. Today out of the blue, every time I try to open the Overlay Creator panel it crashes InDesign.
    I am on a Mac and I have rebooted, trashed InDesign preferences, uninstalled the tools and reinstalled, and even went back to an earlier version of the Folio Producer and Folio Panel. I tried opening the Overlay Creator in a new blank document and it still crashes the entire program.
    I'm tearing my hair out and would appreciate any new suggestions of what I might try.
    Thank you,
    lkovalic

    Hi Dave,
    I'm not sure how the server problems would affect opening the Overlay Creator -- I'm not trying to upload anything or trying to do a preview -- the simple act of trying to open the Overlay Creator extension is what is crashing InDesign. Doesn't that extension reside on my computer?
    Thank you,
    lkovalic

  • "Missing Plug ins" in InDesign CS6

    Hi,
    lately, I've got installed CS6 Standard on a Windows XP machine, German version. There were CS2 and CS4 formerly on this workstation. The admin deleted the CS2 before installing cs6.
    Now, every part of CS6 is up and running - except for InDesign CS6.
    Upon launching InDesign CS6, I keep getting error messages saying, among others:
    "Adobe InDesign erkennt  [plug-in name here] nicht als gültiges Zusatzmodul. Installieren Sie  das Zusatzmodul [plug-in name here] neu, und starten Sie InDesign erneut. Diese Meldung wieder anzeigen? (JA) (NEIN)".
    and/or:
    "Zum Laden von [another plug-in name here] is JBX erforderlich. Installieren Sie  das Zusatzmodul JBX und starten Sie InDesign erneut. Diese Meldung wieder anzeigen? (JA) (NEIN)".
    The first message appears several times along with diverse plug-in names ( ssignment UI, InCopy Bridge UI, InCopyExport, InCopyImport…). The other one concerns only this "JBX", if I remember correctly.
    After all the message are clicked away (it does not matter if I click on JA or NEIN), InDesign CS6 launches in a crippled form, with no palettes, with reduced menus, and it is crashing upon trying to choose the "Preferences".
    The Prefs were already deleted with the appropriate keyboard shortcut.
    What's the issue and how do I get InDesign CS6 to work?

    First of all you should know which Plugin is missing. Then you have to buy it for CS6 and install it properly with the Extension Manager.
    This is not the issue, I think. There was never a 3rd part extension installed along with former ID CS version. So I don't think we'd had to buy any.
    I suppose the Adminstrator has copied the plugin from an older version to the newer version and the plugin seems not be compatible.
    No, he didn't. AFAIK, he's just installed and registered the CS6 according to Adobe's instructions.
    Another thing is obvious that a second plugin is missing which is used by the other plugin. This might be also a third party pi or a default is missing.
    Yes, this is all fine, but again: there was never an extra plug in for ID CS 6 installed on the system. Every version was always installed simply "as it is", because we don't need external plug ins to work with.
    Another thing: It is good to keep older versions installed on the computer for a while when a new version is installed. When all documents have been migrated you can delete (uninstall) the old version. Not before. So it was not a good idea from the administrator to delete the older version.
    You have possibly misunderstood me. Your hint to keep the previous version is highly appreciated; this is, actually, the way we'we been processing with every major software update for years, as well as this time. Only the whole CS2 was deleted, since it was succesfully preventing (on three different Windows workstations) the CS6 installer to do it's job. CS4 is still installed and working.
    The missing plug in issue doesn't exist au dem MacBook Pro, by the way, which was also upgraded from CS4 to CS6. Maybe because I am actually the "admin" of it

  • How Do I Mass Search and Replace Swatch Colors In Entire Indesign CS6 Document?

    I've jumped from CS4 to CS6 and its been a little while since, but just trying to refamiliarize myself with the many Features of Indesign CS6.
    Here's my issue: I have a really old CS4 document I've opened up and saved in CS6. I have to change all swatch colors throughout the document from pantone swatch 295 C to updated pantone swatch 293 C.
    Question, without my having to go through the entire document one object at a time looking for each object, HOW do i perform a Mass search and replace of Color swatch references from 295 C to 293C.
    I thought i could just click swatch properties and update the color... but No... that doesnt work as swatch properties is just grayed out
    I'm sure i've overlooked something but a refresher on how to mass find and replace color in a document would be great.
    Thanks and looking forward to hearing from someone.

    Thanks for the tips.... both seem like good options without my having to purchase a 3rd party software to accomplish this...
    I must admit... Because I've been stuck in Web Design and Motion Graphics for the past couple of years, when I re-opened my old print work from the CS4 days into CS6 it is obvious I have some catch up to do....
    I was almost embarrassed to admit I had forgotten the technique of Alias one color to another using Ink Manager... I had to look it up and found this helpful tutorial http://indesignsecrets.com/alias-one-color-swatch-to-another.php
    Thanks for both solutions....

  • Using InDesign CS6 onWindows PC.  Apple icon and traffic lights in L top corner are missing.

    Using InDesign CS6 onWindows PC.  Apple icon and traffic lights in L top corner are missing and so are some of the editing features.  I fixed this once before by accident but can't remember how I did it.  All I remember is it had something to do with the veiw % in other applications - I think!

    I've been using a tutorial that is obviously been done on a Mac.
    I used to have a link somewhere that was basically a list of all of the differences between the two platforms, but I can't lay hands on it. I'm sure if you asked us about the features that were missing or broken, we could answer fairly easily - you know, like "Preferences are under the InDesign menu on a Mac, but in Windows they're under Edit."
    The worst of these differences is in keyboard shortcuts - Macs have an extra modifier key, so whenever I switch platforms I always spend twenty minutes flopping my hands around and muttering uncomplimentary things about Cupertino and Redmond, at least until muscle memory takes over.
