Indesign CS6 nesting problem

i have a book design and each paragraph starts with a drop cap script. to lower the drop cap  further down into the paragraph, i decided to "nest" it in the copy. this worked, however, it's now taking the second letter of the rest of the body copy, which is not script, and making it a script font as well. meaning i only want one letter, the first letter of each paragraph, to be in a drop cap script. my specs have it that way but for whatever reason, it's making the first TWO letters script. the second letter is not drop cap though, same size as the body copy, just script. im working on a mac pro, osx
, j

Your nested style is useless. Delete it and use only a character style on your drop cap.

    Hi,
    The HP Deskjet 845c is actually no longer supported on Mac OS X since version 10.6:

    You may try installing the 3rd party HPIJS drivers which seems to support the 845c.
    Be sure to install any of the 3 required download prior adding the printer:

  • Indesign CS6 color problems

    Hi there!
    I've a problem with colors and/or color profiles.
    When I import an image (rgb or cmyk) into InDesign, when I export the pdf, it change completely colors; it looses a great part of red-magenta areas.
    I tried quite all profiles suggested in the output intents (Fogra 39, Euroscale), and type of Pdf (X1, 2...).
    I tried also to synchronize all applications profile colors with Bridge, choosing Europe Prepress 3.
    I live in Italy, I own a Master Collection CS6 in English and I work with a Apple MBP 15" Mid 2014.
    I never had this problem before.
    Please help me, because i don't know what to do and because I can't export any pdf for my job!!!!
    Alberto
    Update:
    I tried to export from Photoshop the same image as Tiff and as Pdf. The first is ok, the second one has the same problems of InDesign.
    I tried also to print directly from Indesign and the problem persist.

    Hi Rob! I'm your italian nightmare!
    So I create a new document with this profile:
    and exported in this way:
    The image inserted has SRGB Calibrated20090131 (8bpc)
    These are:
    1) the image
    2) the scan of the image
    3) the scan of the pdf
    I know that scanning don't display colors as they are.
    I can tell you that pdf displays colors like the image visualizers.

  • InDesign CS6 - fonts problems (Document fonts fight with system installed fonts, "font incomplete")

    hello
    First, Indesign function to automatically open fonts from "Document fonts" folder is fantastic, quasy font manager. BUT, fonts is available ONLY for THAT indesign document, no other application can use it, even from CS6 suite. This is probably the most stupid decision about how this function must work. IDEALLY, fonts will be available for ALL application inside CS package until indd doc is closed. If I need some font for editing links in photoshop, illustrator I need to install them. This workflow have wrong concept.
    We now have problem, sorry Indesign have problem. Example, I need type1 font mt-symbol for mathtype AND for Indesign. This font is installed in c:\windows\fonts folder. Everything work fine. When I make package from Indesign and reopen indesign indd document inside package, Indesign report that mt-symbol IS INCOMPLETE. WHY, BECAUSE CONCURENT FONTS from both C:\windows\fonts folder AND FROM "Document fonts" folder. If I rename "Document fonts" folder, Indesign open font only from system and everything work properly.
    THIS IS BIG PROBLEM, fonts circles around workflow/folders and always will be duplicates in "document fonts" and system\fonts folder because different application need same fonts.
    Any solution?

    Another problem with the Document Fonts folder that we just noticed: in CS5, you could place Windows Type 1 fonts (.pfm and .pfb) into the Document Fonts folder on a Mac and InDesign would activate them.
    This no longer works in CS6. (Bug report filed.)
    Huge bummer, as this was a great timesaver and workaround in a high-production prepress environment when working with old Windows files. Hopefully this was not an intentional change and will be restored in a later bugfix release, or at worst in CS7.

  • Indesign CS6 transparency problem

    Hi all,
    Problem:
    A placed TIFF with a transparent background overlaps an indesign partially transparent graphic shape and where the two transparencies overlap text appears heavier, opacity is darker and sometimes there is an outline at the edge of the TIFF frame when printed.
    The PDF however does not show these effects on screen, it's only in the print.
    I've tried exporting with a variety of PDF types and settings, I've used the page window transparency settings, but I always see the same result in print.
    Likely, I will apply clipping paths in photoshop to 'trim' the transparent area of the image to reduce the effect and avoid text. But this isn't a solution really.
    Question:
    Are there settings to deal with overlapping transparent images and objects?
    I've seen this discussed elsewhere a little, but haven't found a solution yet. Also, I can't post screen shots due to privacy concerns.
    Thanks in advance,
    eu.

    Actually, here's a flattener preview with transparent objects highlighted. You can see how the text that appears where the two transparencies overlap is treated differently.

  • How may I change footnotes position in Indesign CS6?

    Hi, I'm having a problem with Indesign CS6, the problem is I like to compose my page using text frames, so basically I can have 3 or 4 or even 5 different text frames in my page. Then, I need to add footnotes, but, indesign is placing me the footnotes at the bottom of its text frame. Well, I don't want that, because perhaps that particular text frame is not close to the bottom of the page, and what I want is all footnotes go (lie) to the bottom of the page. I don't know if you understood me well? if I did not explain this well, please tell me, and I will try to explain it again.
    So imagine I have a text frame that is in the center of page, and is not touching the bottom of the page. I have more frame texts along the page, and when I try to insert a footnote indesign fix, glue, that footnote to its text frame, and don't give me freedom to select other position where I can place the footnotes. Perhaps I want them to the side of the page, or perhaps to the bottom in the right side... I cannot do that, or at least, I don't know how to do that.
    Please, could you tell me how may I change the footnotes position when they are created in text frames? The footnotes seems to be grouped to the text frame (although they are not), and basically I cannot move the footnotes position to other arbitrary position I want.
    Any idea about how may I do this?
    Cheers

    @mrmister1 – for a not threaded single text frame it is quite easy.
    Just expand the text frame to the bottom of your page:
    For a threaded text frame (the text will flow through several text frames) just use a rectangle with text wrap to force the footnote down:

  • Yosemite & NEW install of InDesign CS6 - any issues?

    I have Yosemite installed on my 2010 MacBook Pro. My boss wants me to purchase InDesign CS6 as a new installation. (I have not ever had any version of InDesign installed on my Mac.) I would prefer InDesign CC, but he won't go for it.
    I have seen a few issues where people who have already installed versions of InDesign CS6 have problems with it after installing Yosemite.
    Since mine would be a NEW installation of InDesign CS6 on a Mac running Yosemite, I wonder if there are any known issues.
    I don't want to purchase the software and then run into problems.
    (I am not having any problems with already installed versions of Photoshop CS6 and Dreamweaver CS6 and Yosemite.)

    Nonsense, you DON'T loose access to your files, you can't edit them without having the appropriate version, but all output like PDF, JPG, etc. is accessible. No workaround is needed as you suggest.
    With your argumentation you will loose your files also, when you have to update your OS as CS6 will not run forever. Only CS6 versions.
    Have a look into this discussion: Re: Just subscribed to InDesign CSS - problem: how can I open old Pagemaker 5 and 6 Files? when it comes to "eternal life" of CS6.
    Adobe is not allone with its subscription model. MS introduced several Years ago MS Office365 which will sooner or later the only method to get MS Office (as an official MS Instructor told in a public forum not long ago in Germany). The problem is, that today's OS are changing very fast and it is—contrary to 10 or 12 Years ago—it becomes more and more impossible to make software so, that it will be compatible more than 4 Years, and this period is decreasing rapidly.
    Another thing is, both, Adobe and Microsoft make it more easier to change OS without additional cost. In former times you was sticked with the OS you had. Mobile OS applications are only accessible with subscriptions. Adobe has a lot of them and some important companions to InDesign will come, or with MS Office: you can install their software only with Office365 and not with the permanent versions. File mobility becomes more and more important.

  • Problem in the exportation to PDF (Indesign CS6)

    Problem in the exportation to PDF (Indesign CS6):
    Page with 3 layers: 1st background image, 2nd semi-transparent white square, 3rd text in color black.
    It looks OK in Indesign, but when exporting, in the PDF file the letters are not black, they are gray. What could happened? I've tryed already the obvious solutions (the order of layers is OK, restarted the PC...)
    Thank you in advance.

    the default [Black] swatch (0/0/0/100 in CMYK)  really is a lighter color than a rich black mixed from four CMYk ink, or 3 RGB colors. It would be pretty unusual to see a black background in an image that wasn't a mix.
    Do you have the preference in ID for Appearance of Black set to Display All Blacks Accurately? That will show you the difference in ID on screen as well.

  • Indesign CS6 on MACs with OS 10.8 are having problems with links

    Hi
    Indesign CS6 on MACs with 10.8 are having problems with links. All links to other files have to be updated when opening a file although definitely nothing has changed to the linked files.
    We can rule out our company's networking and the system hosting the files (HELIOS software on RedHat Linux VM). This happens with newly created Indesign files and with old ones. E.g. we create a file on Tuesday, save it and open it again on the exact same MAC on Wednesday and all links to other fiels (.indd, .png, .bmp, etc. nothing uncommon) have to be updated as they all show the yellow triangle + black exclamation mark symbol next to them. Has anybody else experienced this, What can we do? We have tried absolutley everything and updated all software from MAC OS to CS6 itself but nothing seems to help on the long run.
    Any further information required?
    M. Miller

    Thanks for your quick reply.
    We actually noticed that there also seems to be something wrong with the timestamps:
    If we open the infos via the MAC finder to a file (.psd e.g.) which is linked in one of our indesign files, it states a certain date of creation.
    If we then switch to the Indesign file we just opened in which we had to update all links and open the infos to exactly the same file we looked at in the finder, a different date of creation is stated. So there also seems to be a mistake here (hope it's clear what I mean).
    We are ruling out our network as the error cannot be "re-enacted". We have created numerous test files in Indesign (simple white page containing one link to a .psd file which is also used in one of the supposedly defective files) and have opened them on various MACs with various OS versions over the past days/weeks but unfortunately the files open without any notifications or errors.
    Just as a background: a few months ago, the problem seemed to occur between MACs with differing OS, 10.6 - 10.8 at first. A file which was created on a 10.6 MAC could not be opened without updating all links on a 10.8 MAC. That is why we updated everything to 10.8. The error did not occur for about 2-3 weeks but then reoccured again.?
    Have you heard anything similar?

  • Problem with InDesign CS6 start (without internet)

    Hello,
    I have a problem with the start of InDesign CS6 linked to the presence or absence of internet.
    I need to set an IP without internet on the Mac where I installed InDesign, but when I do it right after the splash screen the program freezes for a few minutes, after which starts.
    With internet this problem does not occur.
    I have already activated the CS6 both online and offline, but the problem continues.
    I need to open something on firewall?
    Can you help me?
    Thanks in advance

    You need to tell us more about what you are doing. Once activated, ID should not require internet access to run unless it needs to verify the subscription status.

  • 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.

  • InDesign CS6 interactive pdf problem

    Hi, I've created an interactive pdf using InDesign CS6; document contains text fields and radio buttons. When exported the radio buttons flicker when you hover over them or click to make a selelction. Does anyone know how to prevent this? Many thanks

    I have a hunch it could be an Acrobat/Reader limitation.
    Set up a part of the form without the radio buttons but just use circles. Export a PDF and open in Acrobat. Use Acrobat's Form Field Recognition to turn the circles into radio buttons (or use Acrobat's form feature to create radio buttons with the same value).
    I doubt it's InDesign that's the problem.

  • Problem in integrating FlexUIStroke sample in CS4 SDK with Indesign CS6

    Hi all,
    I want to add a flex panel to the adobe indesigner using a indesigner plugin. For that I used the FlexUIStroke sample project  in the CS4 product SDK. But I have adobe indesigner CS6. I successfully built the FlexUIStroke project and created a plugin file and added to the indesign plugin folder. But when I try to start the indesign it display error message that the plugin is not a valid plugin. I need to know what can be the cause of the message. If that approch doesn't work what are the alternative approaches that I can take to integrate a flex panel to the indesigner using a indesigner plugin?
    Thank You.

    Thanks for all your suggestions. Unfortunately the form still returns the 'no matches found for [email protected]' I've changed the URL field on the submit button to mailto: xxxxx@xxxx and I've also tried it with no space after the mailto:, unfortunately both these return the above error message. This is the same whatever email address I try. I'm starting to tear my hair out with this one. I've tried it on my home PC arunning Norton Internet Security and on my works PC running Avast. Same problem on both.
