Hi Dougbale,
Installation is done using the Adobe Application Manager, not by downloading anything using your web browser. You can update InDesign by going to Help > Updates…. This will open up the Application Manager, and install any updates that are available.

I Am Looking for the InDesign CS4 for Mac 6.0.6 Release Notes

These aren't listed on the release notes page that the updater provided:
http://www.adobe.com/go/id6_readme_en
Which actually redirected to this URL:
http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/indesign_incopy/releasenotes.html
And it stops at 6.0.5
Anyone find them somewhere?

InDesign Help | Forms | CS6

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/forms.html

Not sure enough to be an expert Victor, but I think you need to look into Enabling Usage Rights for Acrobat Reader, in order to make you user-filled pdfs saveable in Reader. I'm sure that's the case going from LiveCycle > Acrobat (meaning rights have to be enabled), but I can't be certain from within ID.
Going from LC > Acrobat (where you view it with a full-version), you have to enable Reader rights so your users using Reader can save their completed .pdf, else it simply won't save the compelted .pdf; it will throw an error every time - "Document can only be printed out and filled-in", as I recall.
(using Acrobat X): File > Save As > Reader Extended .pdf (again, I'm pullng this from memory so it may not be exact. But I'm pretty sure this is what you need)

Please help, InDesign CS6 (cloud) keeps crashing on OS 10.8.2

It happens after I open a file and try do just about anything, modify a photo, add text, move an object, the most basic tasks on simple one-page documents. I've tried all the recommendations I can find including verifying fonts, deleting preferences, checking for updates, etc. and though I've tried all those things, InDesign still won't allow me to do anything. I've spent all day trying to troubleshoot and I have I'm desperate to get it working. I have two major deadlines. Any help you can provide would be extremely appreciated!

Let us know how you make out.

Hotfixes are special, out-of-band patches created to fix specific problems, so they are never published to Windows Update. Often the hotfix gets incorporated into a released patch that is published on Windows Update. If this hotfix was incorporated
into a released patch, and you applied that patch to your system, the hotfix would see that its files are older than the latest files on the system and would give you this message. Because the hotfix is not for general distribution, there is rarely documentation
saying that it has been superceded.
Generally there is a file list with a hotfix/patch that gives you the version number of the affected files. You can go through those files to see that you have the latest files. The problem is finding the actual patch that updated those files.
Without going through lots of patches, it is hard to find which patch made the hotfix obsolete.

Arabic and Hebrew features InDesign CC (2014 release) not accessible

Hello,
I need to create a lay-out with Arabic content in Indesign CC (2014 release). After checking how to go about that via the help-section (online and PDF) I have to conlude that the help does not help me any further.
It says I need to, from the paragraph panel options, set InDesign to the world-ready paragraph composer in order to have the text direction etc. features enabled. This, however, is not the case. The panel still looks like before and I get no Arabic / hebrew features.
This is the same for the character panel, wich also does not give the shown options for Character direction as shown in the Help screenshots.
I have followed all the suggestions in the help section.
I have also tried setting the default paragraph editor to World-Ready via the preferences, and then restart the program, but still no success.
Please advise, it's urgent.

Hi,
Every change of plugins is resetting preferences.
Each language has its own preferences. But you move or copy them manually but you might adjust them afterward, because everylanguage has not the same functionality. At least not on the same place.
Viele Grüße

Hi William,
It worked!
Allthough I did not understand that, from the CC panel, I should install the entire app again. Thought this would go through the preferences window, but I noticed that, when changing the App language in the preferences, the app-list in in the panel changes.
Only thing is now: all the preferences and personal workspaces are gone:-(
Adobe realy doesn't make it easy, unless you're into IT, wich i am totally and absolutely not;-)
Antways,
thanks for the usefull info;

Can anyone that works wirth xml in InDesign help me

I am trying to create a schema to get an Excel workbook into xml so I can take that information and make a member list in inDesign CS6 so I don't have to type it by hand. This is the schema:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<element name="memberList">
    <member>
        <lastname>LastName</lastname>
        <firstname>FirstName</firstname>
        <phone>555-555-5555</phone>
        <streetaddress>streetaddress</streetaddress>
        <city>City</city>
        <state>State</state>
        <zipcode>Zip code</zipcode>
        <email>email</email>
    </member>
</element>
</schema>
When I bring the schema into Excel, everything seems to be fine except that the top of the tree is wrong in excel. memberList is nott at the top ot the tree. When I pull it over to populate the cells I get no names but when i click on the cell it highlights the proper name in the tree.
Schema
     element
          name

Can anyone that works wirth xml in inDesign help me

I typically get XML from a database, or an Excel sheet without the troublesome XML mapping. Once I simply received an Access database. Access spits out XML in a mostly usable state.
I use an XML editor that converts the Excel sheet to XML, do any needed transformations, search and replaces, etc in the editor, then save it as an XML I use in ID. The editor is XML Blueprint. I often do other manipulations using UltraEdit as I have long used it for programming and am comfortable with it.
I did a test in Excel's requisite mapping and found it so cumbersome I didn't successfully get it to export in the 20 minutes it took me to try it. I suspect I could do it with more head scratching but I don't have much hair left.
But I'll give it another try later today or tonight and see if I can help in the way you want to go about it.
Take care, Mike

Indesign CS5 and CS6 crashing

Using Universal Type Server 3 client for fonts. I tried doing a synchronize and reset, and reactivating all of the fonts, but this did not help.

Is Universal Type Server updated to the latest version? Is InDesign the only program you're facing issues with? Are you working with the document that is located in a network location? Try saving the file locally to your computer and see if you can replicate the crash. Clean the InDesign cache location by dragging the en_US folder from the following location: Macintosh HD/Users/Username/Library/Caches/Adobe InDesign/version 7.0 or version 8.0/ for both CS5 and CS6. If you can't see the Library, then use the Go menu of the Finder holding down the Alt key on the keyboard to make the Library visible inside the Go menu and navigate to it that way.
Once you've cleaned the cache, re-launch InDesign and open your document to edit. Do not activate all fonts using the UTS, just activate the fonts that you used in your document to test for crash. If ID still crashes, then replace fonts by local fonts and test for crash.
Change the Display performance settings from Preferences to Fast for both Options panel and Adjust view settings panel and test for crash.

My Indesign and Photoshop CS6 are telling me not enough memory

I have the new iMac with a 3.11 TB fusion hard-drive and 16 G of memory. My Indesign and Photoshop CS6 are giving me low memory warnings and are very sluggish. According to everything I have found there should be no reason for this. So far it is slower then my old mac pro which I used CS3 on. I realize that the new CS is a RAM hog but what I have should be more then enough to build a half page ad with 22 placed photos or a game-board which is mostly vector art without it acting up. Has anyone else had this issue. Is there a way to allocate more memory to these programs?

You know Mr. Mylenium, the more I think about the more I don't want you to explain yourself unless you can be helpful. The reason I try to avoid using these forums is precisely because of answers like yours. Completely snide and unhelpful. I have been doing graphic design for 14 years now and have always used macs. One of my frustrations is that they are not as easy to get into as they used to be. That being said, I am a designer. I think with the creative side of my brain not the technical. If you cannot be helpful then please don't answer. I have no time for that kind of stuff.
One more thing... just in case it helps you give an actual answer (yes my snidish frustrated side is definitely coming out right now)... the programs did not start out slow. I've had this since January and last month is when it started. Because of my many years of experience I am thinking that it probably has to do with some incompatible upgrade.

How do I set the HELP menu to use Indesign's local HELP files on the hard drive and not the web?

CS 5.0 launches the internet browser. > TO SLOW I DONT WANT THIS.
CS 3.0 uses the local help files > I WANT THIS FOR 5.0.

You're not speaking to the right forum for your request. Help is a Suite-wide feature and here is the forum where the Help application is discussed, and where the proper Adobe people hang out:
